SALVATION ARMY
ZONE MANAGERS
ARE ENCOURAGED

When the Zone Managers of the Gulf
Division, Salvation Army Home Serv-
Ice Fund, May 1926 met in Birmins-
ham, Ala, May 4th and 5th, there was
gathered there one Of the most en-
thusiastic crowd of men and women
that the city has ever seen.
They were all bubbling over with en-
thusiasm because they are finding the
people wherever they go deeply inter
ested In the Salvation Army and its
work. All of them reported that they
find the people Of the cities and the
country anxiously awaiting the open
ing of the campaign, so that they may
contribute to the fund in order that
the Salvation Army may carry on its
work among the people, that the Sal
walton Army alone can reach.
A statement made by one Zone Man
ager was typical of statements made
by all of them. This statement was as
follows: The people of this country
have at last realized what wonder
full organization the Salvation Army is,
and are anxious to do what they can to
help 1t in its work"
The people of the rural districts are
beginning TO realize that they are even
more interested in the Salvation Army
and its work than the people OF the
city, and now that the country people
realize this, they are more than ready
and willing to aid the Salvation Army
In carrying on it's work by making lib
eral contributions.
