And he feels sure that Calico. true
to his word, will be his friend.
After this social wait had left,
Captain Watner. without thought
that he had been participant In =
little drama which tells better than
words can the spirit that animates
the Salvation Army, gave express
sion to the simple philosophy Of
that organization.
Il believe that man will come
out all right. Wen have to keep
after him, but we'll get him in the
long run. And we'll do it first Of
all by making him our friend.
II know this fellow. He's got In
with q bunch Of the insidious gang
that il playing havoc in this coun-
try. w. VS. and their kind. We
have plenty of them right here in
Rock Island. He's swallowed some
of their vile teaching. That's where
he gets his aversion to job.
You can believe this or not. but
know that it's the influence Of the
Salvation Army and other organ
izations like it that is doing more
| to hold these fellows down than
any other organization in the coun-
try.
The only way to deal with them
is to teach them Christianity as
the Salvation Army is trying to do.
Police force can't deal with them.
It takes the more gentle influence
OF institutions such as ours to
reach them"
Campaign Does Not Get Quota.
The campaign which the Saliva
ton Army has been conducting for
the last two weeks will not obtain
its quota Of $4,000. 1t is estimat-
ed that the total will amount to
something over $4,000. But Cap
tain Watner is optimistic.
I'VE are thankful for the amount
we did receive" he said. I'VE are
going ahead with our plans and
going to do the best we can with
what we have. Whatever the need
Is We want to meet it. We think
that people do not want to give un'
til they have been given . practi-
cal demonstration Of what we car
do. There has not been . Saliva
ton Army here for several years
When the people come to know vi
and see what we are trying to do
then they will want to help. Until
then, we are willing to work and
wait"
The plans for building q grea'
Salvation Army citadel in Rock Is
land have been abandoned for thu
present, but negotiations are being
made for rooms where headquar'
tiers will be established. and thu
work will be taken up, as previous
|iy planned. by Captain and Mrs
Watner.
Today, the closing day OF thu
drive, young women are on thu
street corners to pin q tag on yor
and receive your gift to the Saliva
ton Army.
