Souls and t Go : or the Worst." Touched by the .awful conditions of te masses oi 'the darkest England and later of all lands, General Booth believed th Salvation of God to-be the brly panacea fpr - existing conditions. - The results accomplished f dur ing the intervening ' years justify the claims' of the army that the solution of present 'social and in dustrial evils is to be found in the application of the principles advo cated--by -the ' lowly Nazarene, wnicn is .first, Loving uod, and second Joying 'your neighbor. The spread and growth" of ; the Salvation Army-since Us inception in 1 865 has been nothing short of miraculous. 1 From 1 the lonely figure standing- on Miles End Waste in 'London dedicating his life to .God and the .saving of man kind, it has. spread; to all the cor ners of the. world.-j;- iv Without previous plans, men and' women, touched by the Bame spirit. -but moving from England to their part of the world, con tinued I their " service for others, thus planting the Army's flag. It was the Shirley family of London, baying ' settled in the v City f of Brotherly Love, who started the Salvation . Army - work in the United States, in a deserted chair factory, and who finally induced General -; Booth to send , a small party of .his .officers to officially open the work on this side of the Atlantic... The' atart.'ot this work on other continents was accom plished In similar ways. ! The Salvation " Army operates today in 72 countries and colonies and ' preaches the' gospel in 42 dif ferent languages in America. 4 It works - in 11,000 different cities and has more than . 18,000 corn missioned , officers . in ; its . ranks.

It. should, be borne In mind in considering the rrowth of. the Sal- vation Army that it was accom plished In the face of much and serious.' persecution. The ' privil ege hjoyedL today by the' Salva tion Army, ; of ' preaching on the street corners of the cltie3 of the world and -do'ng Its great' work ariong the- poor and fallen, waa gained only - by enduring the hat fed 'of -the 'mob. as well 'as" the Contempt 'of the ' so-called respec table element.'
