Dear Mr.. Editor:

Should you go to Sunday school
YOU will find a small band of the
chosen and faithful who have not
yet bowed the knee to Baal. 1t is n
glorious privilege. to meet with these;
You should see their eyes shine and
the interest they manifest when you
discuss with them the beauties and
lows of the Heavenly Kingdom.
But to this shield there is another
side. This can be seen any day when
the great majority gathers.
Then the talk is unseemly. the
gestures uncouth, the laughs forcct

SALVATION ARMY RESCUE
HOMES.

Richmond. Va, Aprlls.- No less
than twenty-five rescue homes in
which unfortunate women and girls
are received and cared for by exper-
fenced worers ore maintained by the
Salvation Army in this country, ac-
e cording to statement made here by
Drigadier William Escott, chief of
ticer of the Salvation Army division
in which Virginia lies.
"Many of the girls who are cared
for in these homes are from the
country" said Brigadier Escott. "They
are given a chance to redeem them
selves. During the past year 2,483 of
these unfortunate ones have passed
through our home and IS pen cent of
them have turned new leaves and
lived straight lives"
Speaking of the work of the SAL
yation Army throughout the United
States, brigadier Escott said that the
homes where fatherless and mother
less little ones were cared for, con-
Quoted maternity hospitals and MAIN
tanned training college where young
men and women were trained rec of
charge in evangclistic and sociology
ical work.
In addition to this, the Salvation
Army did great work for prisoners,
the officer pointed out. He said that
1000 hours were spent in visitation
by prison work officers last year and
that. 8, 722 men and women profess
ed conversion as result of this at
tention. To care for the loyal souls
who sacrifice themselves night and
day to work for the unfortunate, q
Salvation Army pension fund has
been established for the members of
the organization.
After referring to statistics to
show that thousands of meals were
given to the unfortunate and poverty
stricken by the Salvation Army, an
other case that has come under obser-
walton is that of n young girl from
Virginia country home who had
been lured to the city by man, but
had been saved from harm by Sal
walton Army worker and returned to
her home and parents. Thus in many
ways the counties often benefit from
the Army Post work in the cities.
