The Salvation Army has been so modest that the average man or woman has no con ception of the scope, economy and efficiency ' of its work. Incidentally it is a big publisher. Every time it goes to press it publishes 72 periodi cals with a circulation of one and a quarter million newspapers. It is a world organization, tho only sixty years old, operating in sixty-three countries, speaking forty different languages but all with the same sweet, sympathetic spirit of unselfishness. I':s annual turn-over if fifty millions spent for others. Its 11,070 officers serve "stripped to the bone" in sacrifice. This campaign will not add one penny to their remuneration. Every year in the United States it is res cuing over 1,200 children waifs and strays from way down deep in the holes of vice and poverty in our big cities, training them for substantial citizenship. Every year it reaches out the hand of help to nearly 2,000 women and girls, shunned and cast out and restores them to society. Every day in our land it's officers are vis iting a thousand poor families, giving tem porary relief to 18,000 people, furnishing 11,000 needed night shelter. Every year it has kept from the poor house more than 17,000 maimed and decrepit working men to whom it gives opportunity for earning a self-respecting living men whom the business world does not want be cause they can not db a full days work. Every year it finds jobs for over 77,000 men willing and able to work but out of em ployment. Before the sun goes down each day the Missing Friends Bureau has found some one separated from loved ones, and stopped the heart ache. A daily occurrence somewhere in the Salvation Army World.
