Deserves We'll of the Nation.

Frcm the Uniontown ll'a.i Times
Not the least of the many elements
that have contributed to the winning
o. the war was the work of the Sal
walton Army on the bate front, says
the New York Herald. It ranks in
importance, in the courage and EN-
thusiasm of its members and in the
help rendered to our soldiers, with
any of the great organizations Of
mercy that have shared with it the
discomfort and danger of trench and
field.
The origin of the Salvation Army
was as lowly as that of Him whom
1t serves. Founded in England by
General Booth, its pioneer corps of
lads and lassies made their first ap-
pearance in New York forty years
ago. and since then it's halls have
been planted in nearly every city
and town in the country The So
phlsticated element in the town
greeted them with the same hee-
haws OF scornful mirth with which
II IS our custom to encourage every
sincere and worthy attempt to better
US. But those whom they came TO
help did not laugh, and from the
moment OF their first meeting down
to the present day these faithful so!-
d.ers have gone about their duties
In the worst quarters of the town
unmolested. That first meeting was
held in Harry Hills dance house in
Houston street in the presence of
an audience made up OF fallen Wo-
men, roughs. pugilists, thieves, dere-
licts and sightseers. Down on. their
knees went the lads and lassios and
lifted their voices in prayer to the
Most High, and such was their sin
cerity that the crowd listened N
silence and later took up a collec.
ton OF more than 5000 to speed them
on their unselfish course
When that which was beginning
then to style itself the better e.e-
ment' stopped laughing it began 20
look upon the invasion with the cold
eye OF d,sapproval, declaring that
the newcomers were bringing reli-
gion down to low leve.." They
We're indeed bringing it down and to
levels where it had seldom been seen
before. Theirs was religion that
raised up those who fell, comforted
and helped the sick-hearted and
sought to Leaf dcwn satan under their
feet. On the Iattle field they have EN-
ployed the same methods by which
they retrieved souls in New York's
slums. To the firing line they went
with their het coffee and doughnuts.
And there was none to laugh at them
there. Truly, the Salvation Army de-
sefses well at the hands of the nation.

towards which those who are indif

that usually such are written up as

oft the truth is they a'e showed
