SALVATION ARMY FOR
WEEK OF SELF DENIAL

The Salvation Army calls atteR-
ton to the week of prayer and self
denial which has been arranged to
take place commencing Sunday March
81 and lasting to April Z. This effort
is an annual one, and has long ere
this become familiar to all classes
and creeds, receiving support from
every grade of religious communities.
During the week there will be special
exercises of a self-denial spirit.
Funds raised by this method help to
develop the work at home and
abroad.
The Salvation Army is a power for
good particularly among the desery-
Ing poor. In addition to open air
work its officers spend hours in Wis
iting the sick and in every sense DEM
onstrating the spirit of Jesus Christ,
who went about doing good. This
missionary spirit and zeal demon
strated by the Army after years
shows no abatement. Plans are now
under way for the extension of Sal
walton Army operations in a number
of new fields. 1t has just enterd
now number fifty-six. The Salvation
Army are workers among all ranks,
helping all classes, especially the
needy, irrespective of their creed.
Donations In aid of this work may
be sent or handed to CAPTAIN Martha

branch.
