HOW
How has the work Of the Salvation Army been financed
in the naSt2

How has the work of the Salvation Army been financed
in the past?
At first by the self-support Of the workers, who earned
their own living and gave their spare time to the varied serv-
ice of the Salvation Army. Next the tambour1ne became the
natural collection-box at Salvation Army meetings, both in
door ard outdoor. As the ~worthiness of the work came to
be realized more widely, this same tambourine in the hands
of the lasaies became the familiar means by which the public
at large, in, street and street car. in office building and sub
way, in hotel and depot, in restaurant and saloon, was asked
for its support, generously given. from pennies upward.
Certain branches Of the Salvation Army work, chiefly IN
dustrial, became self disappearing in part, and when profits
were earned, these were sources of support for other depart
ments. or for enlarged service in their own field. In time men
and women Of wealth who came to know the Salvation Army
and TIE work it was doing. regarded it as worthy Of their
gifts and ii fell heir now and then to some helpful beqnest.
But always the tambonrine or tin box in the hand of the las
sic was one of the chief means of support. From this uncer-
tain resource part of the daily needs of the trained workers
were provided and the increasing cost Of the multiplied de-
partmcnts of service was paid.
The change in the manner of gathering funds is the only
change in the Salvation Army program. The aims and ideals
of the organization and its methods of doing its work remain
the same.
The army will seek ont fine poor rs before: it viii reclaim
unfortunate women; it will rehabiltate disheartened men. It
will distribute ice in the summer and fuel and food in the
winter.
It win send the children of the city poor and their moth
ers tc the open places for breathing spells during the sum-
mer's heat It will continue to do the work 1T did quietly for
over fifty wears in sixtyone countries and colonies before
the war.

The Salvation Army home service fund campaign for $la,-
100000 which was to continue from May 19 to 26, has been ex-
tended until FRIDAY, May 30th. The extension was necessary
hecause of the unusually bad weather throughout the country
which made il impossible for the campaign to succeed.
Former Governor Charles S. Whitman, national chairman
Of the home service fund, last night issued this statement in ex-
planning the reason for continuing the campaign:
..Adverse weather conditions prevailing in almost every
section of the country during the last week has made 1t impos-
sible for the Salvation Army home service fund campaign to
reach success. Many friends of the Salvation Army have not
fal manner. Others failing to realize how thoroughly the Sal
walton Army stands as a bulwark against the beating. tide of
unrest, have failed to continue as they should For
these reasons it has been decided to extend the period Of the
campaign through Friday, May 30th, by which time we are all
confident the full $%13.000,00O which is needed to cover the Sal
walton Army national budget viii be subscribed"
In those parts Of the country where the weather was favor
.hle ths campaign met with unbonnded success.
