Tonight ..
ji a By W. Alexander Imlay
The Salvation Army was begotten
of the Christian spirit and conceived
in kindness.
It is the breath of graclousness
upon the blighted spots in the social
fabric.
It Is a refuge of the wayward;
the redemption of the fallen.
It Is the organization that seeks by
human kindness and gentle direction
to arouse in degraded and hopeless
manhood and womanhood a firm be
lief that "that something" may live
,to their betterment.
The hope that has been seared is
healed; the life that has been
scorched in the melting pot of the
jinderworld is revived with the
Jethean balm of better living.

The outcast of the gutter was
warmed. He was fed. He was given
a bed and clean clothing.
In the morning he was given light

The story of his ups and downs

Impossible for a man to plow without

"There has been more improvement
in the building of rural schools this
year than ever before. School boards
this summer have painted many of
the buildings outside and Inside
built new floors, built screened in
cupboards for tho dinner buckets,
are applying primary equipment
thereby making the schools a rea1
community center.
"The attendance is better than
ever before. In some schools visited
every child of school age Is in school.
Out of the twenty-four schools visit

have undertaken.
