To The Public

. To The Public
Self-denial week is the great centre
of the Salvation Army. the season wnen
all our forces, all our faith, and all our
energy are forcussed upon needs which
in no way affect our own sphere or sur

Ina word, self-denial is the cup
which takes the measure OF our love
for the great missionary responsiD1li-
ties which God has laid upon us al4 Tor
after all, every child of Grace is mis-
sionary and should be partaker In une
work Of Christ.
AS I think of selfdenial and all 1t
means and all it asks, it comes to me,
such an effort must be the most well
come, the most natural and the most
dear to any consecrated heart.
The need Of the Salvation Army at
this particular time has grown mex
pressibly big, and from all parts OF the
missionary world comes news-that
goes to show that the opportunity is
so stupendous that the lover of souls
is lost in it's immensely. In far-away
China, and Japan, Korea and India,
and in hunger-stricken, woe oppressed
Central Europe also among us in THIS
great United States of ours comes the
call for help, will you help to alleviate
the spiritual and financial needs of the
needy? But you may say how can l
help? God says Bring We all the uthes
into the Storehouse that there may be
meat in my house, and prove me now
herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, If l
will not open the windows of heaven

PULLMAN PORTERS NOT
LOAN SHARK VICTIMS
preston News Service)

Memphis. Tenn. March.-Following
the appearance of an editorial IN the
Commercial Appeal to the effect thitC
EMPLOYEES of the Pullman Company
were victims Of 'loan sharks" w, h
Rutcher, Jr., district manager Oh th9
Pullman Company with hsaoquarleI'
here issued the following statement
oEmployees of the Pullman COM
nany at Memphis or elsewhere are no.
victims of the so-called loan SHARKS
and if through failure to apprlse uhe
company of their financial dlfncultles'
they should become entangled IN ths
clutches of the loan sharks they are
not fired by tn company, put are as
sisted in paying off their Indebtedness.
"JJnder our rules, l am permitted at
any time, to issue to any employe any
amount of money l deem III 10 oe
charged against his pay for he currens
month. OF course, we are not perml.s
al to issue check in excess OF $1Vo'
hut there is nothing to prevent one IS
suance of more than one check.
COMPANY HAS EMPLOYEES
CONFIDENCE
"Omr company courts the confidence
of its employees and any time any Oh
them get into financial difficulties DE-
cause of illness, death or from any
cause whatsoever, they are at liberty
TO come to my office and get an advance
of salary.
"There have been a number OF In
stances. where employees VINO were
buying homes and got behind IN the.r
payments, and, in order to pleciuu1
their losing whatever equity they may
have. the company has loaned them
money, and take out a small amount
each month from the pay check.
THE Pullman Company has rule
which prohibits sale Of salary cheeks
but when any employe has sold MS sal
arv check to a loan shark and is belns
charged their usual usurious rate OF IN
terest and we find out about 1t, he IS
not discharged but sufficient money is
advanced him to enable him to pay OH
the Indebtedness and, If necessary
we call upon our legal department f0r
assistance.
"The men working out of this Office
know that when they borrow money as
an advance on their salary that the
full amount will be taken out OF their
next pay check, but if they are still IN
financial straits, another but smaller
advance is made on the next month
pay, and so on, until the full amount
has been repaid.
"This system of operation is not a
great deal of trouble to the company
II makes the company's executive repre-
sentative the confidant of the employe
and promotes better spirit of loyalt!
and cooperation.
1t also eliminates the loan
shark from a Pullman employees
scheme of things for he soon learns
that the company will help him when
he needs help and not charge him any
interest at all much less a usurlous
rate of interest"
Mr.. Butcher declared that during
the period of years that he has had
charge of the Memphis district Office
but three instances have arisen where
Pullman employees have become vic
tins of loan sharks and that in each in
stance, as soon as their plight became
known, the company took steps to heip
them out of the difficulty.
