SALVATION ARMY.

The Salvation Army are actively preparing for their annual week of pelf-denial, which has now become an institution throughout the world, and has everywhere met with phenomenal success. The dates fixed for this year's effort are October 13 to 19. The advances made by the Army in recent years have been remarkable, and tho world may now be said to fairly understand the aims and objects of this young organisation. Fifty different countries and colonies are now enjoying the self-sacrificing labors of these soldiers of peace, and the Army officers have spread the Gospel in over thirty languages. Of the beneficent social work of General Booth's Army we need not speak in detail. Governments and statesmen in all countries, crowned heuds, and leading people of all shades of opinion unite in eulogy of the great enterprises operated by the Salvation Army. The homeless, the outcast, the criminal, tho unfortunate woman, and the prodigal of every class and clime instinctively turn to the Army for help, until we find a great array of over 600 social agencies, with daily accommodation for thousands of earth's needy ones, standing with, open doors, as bouses- of refuge throughout tho world. The self-denial appeal, made in the interests of the Salvation Army—a large proportion of the income being devoted to work in our own country—will no doubt meet with a ready response. Donations may be sent to officer in charge, Salvation Army, Dunedin.
