solicitor, with her pleasant smile and
red banded cap. are gone" said
Chairman Sanger THE work has
developed to such point and ia
such an Importance that members of
the great humanitarian army should
not be spared from their regular
duties to raise funds, and it is up to
! the people Of the various commune
tiles, and public spirited organiza-
tons. to lift this burden from the
shoulders of the workers and provide
adequate funds for carrying on the
good work. The Salvation Army
always recognized as a power for
good where human assistance and
counsel are most needed proved it's
right TO be classed with the most
useful and beneficial organizations
of the day through its remarkable
work in Europe. The organization
is willing and anxious to continue
this work throughout the United
States and it is up to us to provide
the funds required and to get behind

fluence and our best efforts
Points About the Salvation Army
Home Service Campaign
Home Work of the Salvation Army
is exhausted by war effort. 1t is up
to every community to reinstate the
army bigger and better than ever
The army has never had enough
funds to meet the many calls upon
it, This is the opportunity to pro-
vide them. Every department of the
Salvation Army has in the past had
its own canvassers.
Much duplication and overlapping
in canyassing and much annoyance
TO contributors.
Officers have used up large por-
ton Of their time gathering funds.
This time would have been much
better employed in doing larger
work among the needy.
This campaign will make only one
call for the year-all canvassing will
will be cut out for the next II
months.
The efficiency of the army has
been curtailed by the amount OF
time spent in soliciting and also by
using rented and mortgaged build
ings.
This necessitated further eXpendi-
ture of time and money to pay rent
and interest.
The time and money saved from
paying rent and interest will be used
to extend the army's operations
Many communities have not yet got
ten proper Salvation Army buildings
and equipment specially adapted to
the needs of the community.
This campaign provides an oppor-
tunitv t. establish suitable buildings
and equipment.
The tremendously increased calls
upon the home service work of the
Salvation Army as result vi tHeil
popular and efficient war service
have greatly added to the burden OF
their duties and responsibilities
These can only be met by largely
extended work requiring to be spe-
cially financed.
The Salvation Army has developed
into a great public institution at the
beck and call of the public, night and
day, fer three hundred and sixty
five DAYS IN the year-and yet the
army has no assured income apart
from the voluntary gifts secured by
the cooperation of its friends. Re
| member that the great work is stu
needed for the soldiers and sailors
land their wives, and children.
