Works The charitable and humanitarian work of the Salvation Army was started with a very definite purpose but without a specific program. It has developed in many different di rections in response to human needs as they have been dis covered, and has not been restricted or limited by any pre- -tnis conceived or arbitrary plan. explains it extra-ordinary variety and scope. The yearly campaign to raise maintenance funds to carry on this work in Marlon county is scheduled for August 20 to 31. This campaign Is being put on under Uie personal direction of the Army's advisory board composed of the following: Governor I. L. Patterson, honor ary chairman; Dr. B. P. Pound, chairman; Mrs. F. A. Elliott, vice chairman; Herbert H. Hauser, sec retary; E. B. Millard, treasurer; Lyle Bartholomew, Frank D. Bllgh, Judge O. P. Coshow, Harold Eakln, W. B. Oerth, A. C. Haag. Mrs. Paul H. Hauser, Douglas McKay, Cooke Patton, William Pettyjohn, J. M. Rupert, Mrs. Charles K. Spaulding, Roy Wassam. Social service had no part In the plan as at first conceived by the Founder. The original purpose was exclusively evangelical. The Sal vationists were to take the gospel to those who would not seek It in the churches. They were to Invade the highways and byways and preach salvation, through Christian grace, to the spiritually blind and the poor In heart. Thtt was to be their one and only mission, nut It was not easy .to talk SDir- Itual salvation to people who were dazed and bewildered by acute Dhvsical need. That such people re sponded to Uie preaching with man ifest eagerness made tne tasa an the more, perplexing. Their ears were attuned to tfce "voice crying in the wilderness": but what were they to do about It? The man without Job, enervated through privation or dissipation; the girl facing motherhood out of wedlock, dismayed and alone; aged men and women without homes in which to spend their declining years; the youth, realising the futility of In dulgence, but puszled as to which way to turn; the criminal, brood ing In his cell; the widow, with her children, valiently waging a losing battle against poverty and disease; the wayward, the degenerate, tne Irresponsible, the weak of will all of these saw the light of hope in th message that was brought to them, but it seemed far off, in tangible, beyond their reach. It was clear that In addition to .the gospel they needed material as sistance and patient guiding irom people who could understand their troubles. It was in response to such need that the Army entered the realm of social service. Today every corps, or religious unit is at the same tun a center of charitable activity; and th evangelical work Is supplemented by two great branches of the organisation known as the men's social services depart ment and th social service depart ment for women and children. The functions of these depart ment have grown to such propor tions as to convey the erroneous impression to many minds that the Army la essentially and primarily a social service agency. But, as al ready emphasised, these functions must be understood In their entire ty as a humane demonstration of th religion of Christ. Religious exhortation, however, is not forced upon th beneflc'aries, and no per son is expected to change his re ligion. If he already has one. His religion la expected to change him.

SOVIET GODLESS SUSPEND FORCE AGAINSTCHURCH Moscow, (LP) Warnings against the use of force in the struggle with religion were sounded by practically an the important speakers at the recent national convention of the Society of the Godless. - - Spokesman for the Communist Party and the government served notic that the atheists must limit themselves to methods o moral and intellectual suasion in their fight against the church and the sects. While wholly in sympathy with the antl-rellglous movement, the government indicated that it will use "administrative measures" (a euphemism for official force) only in cases where churchmen are dl recely engaged In counter-revolutionary work. Recent legislation placed an extremely narrow limit upon the legal- rights of religious bodies.

Hut witnin these limits apparen tly It is the intention of the powers- that-be not to disturb the believers. That some of the Godless are deeply disgruntled because the gov- ernment, in their view, is too tender with the religious elements -could be surmised from the context of a long speech by the President of the Soviet Union, Michael Kalinin, it was principally an explanation why the government cannot pro ceed roughshod agaalnst religion and a warning that violence will make martyrs to religion rather than convert to atheism. "Why are we not closing down all the churches?" Kalinin asked "Because we have an enormous mass of believers. More than that, the enormous mass consists of working people people who fought and still fight for the Soviet power.' Force, be argued would thus have to be used, if at all, against the very people - whose -support .the Soviets must retain at any price. He urged the utmost fact in con ducting atheist propaganda not to offend real believers and thus play into the hands of the Soviet enemies. Kalinin asked the Godless to dis tinguish carefully between those who merely use the church for economic or political purposes and the mass of church-goers who are actually religious. Also, Kalinin poionted out that the church is an important social function In the ordinary peasants life. East 8t Louis, IilL (IPIA half hour after Justice J. C.
