signed by Frederick Duncan, the noted artist. From this he has evolved a
striking artistic creation, typifying the hand of the Salvation Army reaching
out to rescue those who are enshrouded in the clouds of poverty and vice. A
Salvatjon Army lass is the principal figure, and the scarlet lining of her cloak,
thrown back as she enfolds those who are calling out to her in distress, fur
nishes the poster with its one spot of brilliant color. The background is Of
blacks, grays and greens, indicative of the storm clouds of misery and want.

UNIQUE ORGANIZATION
Members Are Girls Rescued by
Salvation Army.
The /‘Out of Love” Club Is one of
the important club organizations main
tained by the Salvation Army in this
country. In every large city where
there is a Salvation Army corps girls
who have been helped back into the
normal pace of a workaday world are
proud of the membership in this club.
Disappointed, loveless girls who do not
forget kindnesses shown them in their
hour of greatest need give out of love
to help other girls receive the same
friendliness. In a simple, quiet way,
this unique idea has been maintained
for over 20 years.
In every large city in the country
there are girls who have needed the
ministrations of the Salvation Army.
After they have been helped and sent
on their way again they become life
members of this club if they so desire.
Only girls are admitted who have given
a good account of themselves for at
least one month In the positions found
for them by the Salvation Army after
their release from a hospital or home:
These girls pledge themselves to keep
alive the spirit of friendliness and
home which the Salvation Army has
spread among them. The girls are
expected to dress In a plain, simple
way, and avoid in any sense of the
word gaudy or tawdry clothing.
Gossiping or tale bearing is tabooed.
If members of the club transgress this
rule they are liable to suspension for
a month or longer. The “Out of Love
Club” is one of the many activities that
will benefit by the success of the Salva
tion Army House Service Fund Cam
paign for $13,000,000 May 19-26.

ever going tp get well. My knees were

at once. It helped me. I began to
improve and soon felt much better and
