Norman A. Bergen, campaign dir
ector for the Salvation Army who is
in the county this week aiding the
local board in explaining the work of
the Salvation Army, said: Through
out the past year the Salvation Army
has been digging in along the front
of sin and the misfortune it brings.
The yearly report shows where the
money raised last year has gone. 1t
tells of visits among the unfortunates
by the thousands; Of relief given to
many thousands; Of outdoor and in
door meetings that were attended
by multiplied thousands, most of
whom are seldom found in a church.
1t tells of bare feet shod, cold bodies
clothed, empty coal bins filled, hous-
ing provided, families held together,
happiness and faith restored; men all
but down and out restored to use
fulness; unfortunate girls caught on
the brink of despair and brought back
to again make a place for themselves
in society; recreant boys snatched
from the doom of the vicious; re-
creant wives induced to return to
their husbands; recreant fathers in
duced to support their families; in
short it tells of a year of usefulness
and mercy that cannot be measured"
"This is the appeal of the Army,
said Mr.. Bergen. at is the aim of
the Salvation Army to conduct one
campaign in each county in Mime
sofa once each year. This puts the
yearly budget on a business-iike-ar
rangement, as we feel that the bust
ness men and those who contribute
would rather give once a year and
then give generously than to be ap-
preached once month"
In making his appeal for the $1,000
quota for Redwood County, Mr.. Bor-
gen urged the citizens mot to give
something on account, but to make
up the $500 goal promptly and gen.
erously."
