In this year Of 1920 the Salvation
Army comes before the J American
People in a manner different from
that, which it has ever come before.
Not different as to performance of
service-but different in the broad
extent of the service it proposes to
Irender. 4

Ision of its sixteen major activities in
program intended to reach every
county, city, town and hamlet in the
limited States-to give to every ont
post of civilization in America tina.

been rendering for forty years, but
which was most intensively revealed
during the late world war.
Briefly the Salvation Army Is now
preparing to offer to every ,eofamun-
| ity the service from that great chain

across the length and breadth of this
whole land.
How is this done?
By the establishment of Salvation
Army advisory boards in every coun-
ty composed of the peoples repre-
sentatives, acting not only as the rep
rcsentatives of the people, but as rep
resentatives of the Salvation Army
as we'll.
With the fingers of these men on
the pulse of the situation at home,
and instantly ready to advise the Sal
vation Army of conditions and needs,
the Salvation Army is equally ready
to render prompt and efficient service
the moment the call is received.
No longer will it be necessary for
your county to dispose of certain
cases in a cold, pitiless, legal way,
forgetting to give quarter.
1t will now be your pleasure to
have the delinquent boy, the wayward
girl, the homeless mother, the human
derelict--this driftwood of humanity
/ zz-cared for in sympathetic kindness
by q trained personnel whose service
has already been extended to legions.
Instead of the reform farm, the
prison, the poorhouse, these unfor-
tunates will find mother, a father,
IA sister, a brother, in the Salvation
Army. It is already at your call.
Your announced need means it's
speedy. definite, conclusive action.
BY this means you will make citizens
insteads of paupers, derelicts and
beggars.
Your citizens have said the need for
the Salvation Army is here They
say they want the Salvation Army.
Advisory boards with twelve OUT
standing business and professional
men in every populous county in your
state. together with other outstanding
men who form your state advisory
board, have issued the call.
