SaZDationists Take No VouUs To Wear Uniforms

lives of wickedness and wrong-do- ing. Their very dress in some cas- es bespoke their way of living. When they sought the deliverance of Christ and all things became new, very often of their own accord they modified their dress and and wore produly the little piece of Army ribbon or the Army badge given to them by the Cap tain. This was an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual change, serving not only to remind themselves of this new life, but to acquaiat their friends with the news.
 On the other hand there were those who identified themselves with the movement, who came from cultivated and well-to-do homes. They had wearied of the aiTnlesg pleasures and the trivial incoasequence of their butterfly lives. A wider world with it's des- perate peds called them and they selflessly devoted their lives to the service of CYist in The Salva- ton AFWly. h order to move suc- cessfuIly among the poor and needy they felt the need of a simple gayb which would not de- bar them from the lowest hoyel and which would stand in the eyes of the people for love and help and sympathy and goodness wherever it was known.
 Today, the wearing of the uni form is optional in the case of soldiers of The Salvation Army that is to say-lay members of the organization. However, all officers and others who have official du- ties and bear specific responsibil ities are required to wear uniform.
 To tn Salvationist, the wearing of the uniform is an honor and a privilege. It often opens door, ways to service and be speaks the fact that the Salvationist is the servant of all for His sake.

From '.The War Cry"l


 And that's | surprise to many peopIel That salvationists are re- quired to wear uniform, is the common understanding of many, but the fact remains that while SalvRtionlsts are encouraged to wear uniform no compulsion is laid upon them.
 In the early days of the move ment it was felt by the Founders that some distinctive garb should be. worn by Salvationists. And the reasons were logical.
 First of all, was 1t not the Sal- vation Army, and, therefore, should not its soldiers wear un- form?
 Then, many of those who sought to become Salvationists had lived
