our charitable institutions 1t re-
ceives no princely stipend from the
city treasury every year. In this
respect it occupies a position
thoroughly unique, though not very
creditable to the city. The prose
cutlon of its work depends entirely
upon the support of the people
From this source must It's susten'
ance be derived. And this fact can
not be too strongly emphasized. The
Salvation Army needs every dollar
1t can get, and every dollar It can
get is used to the very best posi-
bic advantage. The greatest phil
anthropic, humanitarian. force in the
world, It should never be necessary
for It to make an appeal for assist
ance. Its work speaks for itself
and so eloquently and forcibly that
none can consclentiously ignore the
same. To assist it is a duty which
we owe not only to ourselves but to
the poor, who who are always with
us"
A campaign for $4,000 will be
inaugurated by the citizens OF
Clarksburg for six days, September
9 to IA. to provide for the city OF
Clarksburg a building which will be
the center of all charitable and phil
anthropic work OF the city. A

The Mercantile and Financial

corning the Salvation Army:
Every now and then, as those OF
our readers who follow the newspa-
pers are aware, a tendency is mani
tested in certain quarters to criticise
the methods ad work of the Saliva.
ton Army in this country, but par
ticularly in certain cities, in every
such there has been absolutely no
justification for such criticism and
the conclusion can not be escaped
that those who indulge in the same
are animated by anything but laudI-
bic motives. The army welcomes
criticism animated by kindly mo-
tives, as 1t does not claim any nigh
degree OF perfection, and is glad to
receive any suggestion That may re-
suit in the betterment of the great
service which it is rendering in the
cause of humanity. But, after all,
how much better it would be to help
instead Of to criticise.
Effective Results of Great Work.

results-a field which embraces the

does, with the most unfortunate

only the comfort of the world. but
those physical comforts from which
they have been, through stress of
poverty, debarred. The Salvation
Army practices charity in its broad

is not only a great world missionary,
but a civllizer. Its philanthropy is
based upon principles of plain
common sense, with nothing OF a
mere sentimental or maudlin char

fortunate that while there is life
there is hope" and that God helps
those who help themselves.
A Duty Which Cannot Be Ignored.
Under the Able direction - its
