Chairmen Get Letter.
Again emphasizing the Importance
of the drive the following letter was
mailed out to the various county
chairmen yesterday by the zone chair
man:
The hour has struck when the in
dividuaI responsibility for the success
of the Salvation Army home service
fund campaign rests upon each and all
of US, and 1 have no doubt but that
the efforts of the county chairInen will
result in the best possibilities in hu-
man nature.
Every one of the chairmen have
been selected with great care and /
know that the manner of your presen-
tation of this message for the Saliva
tion Army to the people of your dis
trict will bring the overwhelming re-
sponse which their loyal and sacri-
ficing service deserves. I am cogni-
zant of the work which this involves
and want to remind you how great
a part is ours here at headquarters.
and how willingly and lovingly we
give our service as the different boys
who have been over there tell us
of the wonderful work of the Saliva
tion Army.
I'VE are all familiar with the keep
her on the job slogan, which our BOYS
used when the Salvation Army work
ers were in the front line trenches
cooking and serving hot doughtnuts
And one incident. which one of our
boys relates, tells of young woman
who stood for IS hours preparing
doughnuts for the boys and no one
guessed that she stood on feet that
were torn and bleeding until she could
stand no longer, and had TO be re-
moved. In less than three days she
was back on the job.
This is the cause which we wish to
perpetuate. and each participant in
the furtherance of this campaign is
going to do his best.
ANY information can be obtained
by either phoning, wiring or writing
this Office
Nom -Sectarianisnr Prevails.
A few days ago Mr.. Hancock sent
out a letter TO all ministers through
out the zone. eliciting their interest
in the drive with the result that most
unanimous cooperation IS TO be had.
however. one enthusiastic Methodist
from one point in the district appar-
emily forgot the usual affiliation OF
the Salvation Army with the Metho-
dists as well as with other denomina-
tions and he wrote the zone chairman
a very caustic letter TO which the fol-
lowing letter calling attention TO the
non -sectarian feeling existing in the
drive. was addressed TO the minister:
MY dear sir: ] have you letter of
| May 10th declining my recent request
