Des Meines, Iowa. The aims and
purposes of the Salvation Army, as
they have been followed during the
past forty years OF his association
with II, were recently outlined by
'iBrigadier William Andrews, newly
appointed Chief Divisional Officer for
Iowa and Nebraska. y

soup, soap and Salvation" said Briga'
dier Andrews. "The very first thing a
man, who = down, needs is some.
thing to sustain the inner man; the
next thing he needs is to be made
clean. from this point the matter Of
winning him back to responsibility
Is made easy.
1.-THE. Salvation Army knows Of no
case in its history where the heart
OF either man or woman has not been
reached by these methods. It. knows
of no degree of despair or degener-
acy. where the subject may not be
lifted up and out Of his or her con-

the souls Of men; its second prime
purpose is service to humanity. This
second purpose takes US to the farth-
ermost points of the compass, into

Then, again, the Salvation Army
found that in all populated centers
throughout the country, especially In
winter time, there are great num-
beers OF homeless men out Of work.
This was more particularly so when
the country was wet. These men
would float around like driftwood on
the water, without money or friends;
