SALVATION ARMY'S SELF-DENIAL APPEAL

Dominion and Provincial Returns LARGE SUMS COLLECTED The annual .self-denial campaign conducted by the Salvation Army throughout New Zealand, closed last week. The results are very satisfactory, although the returns show a slight falling-off .which may be attributed in many cases to the stringent times through which the people generally have just passed. In some instances corps have been faced with other appeals such as for buildings, and that naturally affected the selfdenial returns. All these things taken Into consideration, the Army is to be congratulated upon the success that has attended its efforts. Provincial results in round figures arc as follows: — Auckland province, £10,392. Canterbury and Westland provinces, £7382. Otago and Southland, £7780. Marlborough, Nelson and portion of Wellington province, south of Levin and Pahiatua, £6279. Hawke’s Bay, Poverty Bay, Taranaki, Manawatu and King Country, £10,286. Dominion total, £42,119.
