SALVATION ARMY

SELF-DENIAL FUND. STREET COLLECTION TO-MORROW The Salvation Army’* annual selfdenial street collection will be taken up to-morrow, when it ie hoped that % very liberal response will be made to the appeal, to enable the Army to carry on its humanitarian work. The Army is now at work in eevonty-six countries and colonies, speaking fortysix different languages, employing 27,398 officers, toiling continuously amongst the criminals, unfortunate and betrayed girls, the poor, the 6ick, the homeless, the friendless, and the heathen. Its work is acknowledged and honoured by the nation’6 rulers and Governments everywhere, and this —the world’s greatest army of social service workers, is putting into effect 6a«e and practical methods that secure permanent and far-reaching results. A great deal of the maintenance of th« Army is due to their great yearly effore—the self-denial appeal—which enables them to carry on the work of mercy and benevolence. The earnestness of the organisation certainly commends the appeal to every section o t the community.
