Salvation Army Continues Work Started in London By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International Jesus shocked the religious leaders of his day by associat ing with bums, prostitutes and other sinners. In this respect, as in others, the Salvation Army faithfully follows in its Master's foot steps. 1 For nearly a century, its blue-uniformed soldiers have been scandalizing respectable church folk by beating tam bourines on street corners, holding prayer meetings in jails, and mingling unashamed with the outcasts of society. The Salvation Army was founded by an English min ister named" William Booth who felt that the regular churches were failing to reach out to the people who needed them most desperate ly. In 1865, Booth set up a di lapidated tent in London's grubby East End and began to preach the Christian gospel to thieves, gamblers, drunk ards and street - walkers. He won many converts btit the churches did not want them. So Booth put them to work to save others like themselves. The Hallelujah Army Within a few years there were thousands of them con ducting open-air services in London streets. They were called "the hallelujah army." The nickname gave Booth an idea. In 1878, he organized his fast-growing band along military lines and gave it the official title, the Salvation Army. The following year the first Salvation Army unit in the United States was organ ized by Lieutenant Eliza Shir ley, an English girl who had moved to Philadelphia with her parents. W Today the Salvation Army has 16,792 local "corps" and outposts" in-86 countries. Its U.S. branch, one of the larg est, has more than 250,000 members. The national com mander is Commissioner Nor man S. Marshall, whose head quarters are in New York. The Army S primary uuiu still the same as it was when General Booth set up his tent in London to nreach the Christian gospel. But today its ministry to down- anH-outers includes their phy sical as well as their spiritual needs. Lack Squeamishness To outsiders, the impressive fact about the Salvation Army's far-flung welfare pro gram is its utter lack of squeamishness. It helps the people who need help the most, and doesn't worry about getting its hands dirty in the process.. In more than 100 U. S. cities, there are Salvation Army rehabilitation centers where men who have "lost their grip on life" are nur tured back to self-respect and self - support through work therapy and counseling. These centers accept the real skid row alcoholics who are too destitute and too disorganized to get effective help anywhere else. i Other Salvation Army serv ices are almost too numerous to list. The Army, for example, provides lodging houses for the indigent and for unwed mothers; camps for slum chil dren; Christmans cheer for poor families; conducts re ligious services for prisoners, organizes golden age clubs for the elderly, and sponsors rec reation centers for service men. Its help is given solely on the basis of need. The cynic is as welcome as the convert. No Passive Members There are no passive mem bers in ,thc Salvation Army. Everyone who enrolls as a soldier is expected to devote as much time as possible to the Army's work. Commissioned officers, the ordained ministers of the Army, are trained at the four "cadet schools" in New York, Nazarene Minister Continues Series "The Happiness of Holi ness" will be the subject of the morning worship service sermon, Sunday by the1 Rev. Raymond W. Hum. The choir will sing "God's Power and Might" and the radio male quartette will be featured in the service. : Mr. Hum will continue his series of messages from the Book of Revelation, the sec ond to be given Sunday at 7 p.m. entitled "The Vision of Heavenly Destiny." i PHOENIX SERMONS Phoenix "Good News" will be the sermon topic Sun day at 11 a.m. at First Baptist church, Phoenix, by the Rev, Perry M. Johnson, pastor. At 7:30 p.m. he will speak on ,"It Works." Chicago, Atlanta and San Francisco. They receive ex tremely modest salaries, out of which they must purchase their own food and uniforms. If they marry, they must marry another Salvation Army officer. They live "on post" at Salvation Army cen ters and are subject to call for duty 24 hours a day. Despite rigid economy which holds overhead costs to a minimum, the Army's vast program of welfare services requires far more money than can be contributed by its own 1957 Award of Merit Winner ii Veil ley Presbyterians Schedule Week's Events will be in charge of recrea tion, wiih Miss Janet Snod grass as secretary. Mrs. George Flanagan and This week the First Pres byterian church will stage a Pound-Up of all junior high young people, beginning Mon day with registration at 9 a.m. Mrs. Donald Lowrance is in charge of the event assisted THE REV.

The Army looks to the pub lic to bricge this gap. In some communities, it conducts an annual "maintenance appeal." In some, it participates in Community Chest or united givers campaigns.
