Soldiers to Csatssb9te.
The of,cers and soldiers themselves are
TO bear q remarkably large part Of the

The specific amount asked 10 not a

to contribute one dollar: and every Of
ficer b asked to contribute tsn dollars-
When II II considered that the ofnoers
Of the Salvation Army are paid only
small salaries and that the soldisrs. men
and women who volunteer to take part
In the street services or the missious or

Of small means. the one dollar and the
ten dollars are large assessments

NAs erect appeal to H. msnbsrs Of
de saiyltion Army was made BY Com
Gen. william Booth. to the various
posts and other divisions Of the Army.
Her brother, Gen. Bramweu Booth. has
approved the plan.
Commander Booths letter was writ
ten from her national headquarters In
New York. and Il az follows:
Cenaaanaer's Letter.
NY dear comrade: Nothing unites
the members Of family quicker and
closer than a great sorrow. Hearts
draw near each to the other in sea-
sons Of darkness and storm. SO In
the greatest bereavement which has
fallen upon the Army's worldwide
family. in the death OF its founder and
first general We have loved and needed
each other ~ never before,
Tho general was my father BY ties
Of blood relationship. but he was your
father also by ten thousand ties Of love
and service. as you have followed In
the tracks his dear self-sacrihcing feet
have marked. Some Of the most beau |
tiful letters I have received during |
this time of heaviness have come from
my soldiers, and even II your assur- |
ances have gone unspoken. they have
been 80 heartfelt that I have known |
you to be with me. your spirit uniting |
with mine in sorrow and triumph.
How can We memorialixe the general? |
Marble and bronze are not enduring
enough to commemorate him. Whatever
monument We lift must play an active |
part in the saving Of men-the passion |
and purpose of his whole existence. 80 |
II has been decided to erect as Americas
memorial two large training colleges in |
New York and Chicago. from which will |
30 better equipped than ever before the |
saviors of mankind.
Perhaps some to whom these lines are |
written will one day participate in its |
perhaps some will send their |
children there; but every one Of you may |
have q share in the memorial scheme IT. /
self-I know you will want to have p |
share. The soldiers Of the srmy my |
father raised have been It's very blood |
and bones In thousand battles. and they |
cannot. must not. be overlooked IN the /
lifting Of his memorial.
Therefore. I ask every soldier Of the
United States to donate. toward the
$4,000 needed, the sum Of 81. To some |
Of you this sum will mean sacrihce. yet
I feel not one will want to be left out 1
In this unique undertaking. The Army /
can only have one founder. and therefore
the opportunity can never come again.
NY brother. Gen. Bramwen Booth.
has cabled me his full agreement with
the scheme. which will fulnl one Of our
fathers greatest ambitions for the work
In America-and I know that there are
no contributions which would mean more
to our general now in glory. and to our
general who now leads W on. than the
from our rank and hie. Let
not your name be missing! j
II am arranging. In the columns de-
voted In the War Cry week by week to
the memorial scheme. to print . sub
scription list. giving each soldiers name
and g1ft, a. they como In. want and
expect, yours to be there. But hrst,
I ami asking you to hll up the inclosed
card promising to let me have your
dollar by January I.
Many times have appealed to the
Doldisrs OF my command, and never have
hey failed me: but this 10 the ffst time |.
have asked 20 directly and persorslly L
Ier your help, and for our gloriAed gem
rails sake, for our precious works sake.
md fmAy say it?) for my sake, 70
whom MI my life both the eenefal and
he work have been 20 dear. I claim your
help and feckon upon II.
/, Your leader In. the deathlesg 6Ght.
