of nil forms of purifying, grief Is the

weaknesses nnd frailties at the end of the
the country have come to depend upon
the Salvation Army as thole friend In
poverty and sorrow. Not thnt we dis
pense aid Indiscriminately, but rather
that our aid Is prompt nnd effective,
and our knowledge of their need thor
ough, owing to the fact that our offi
cers spend most of their time In the
~oorcr part* of the city and securing
nourishment for the sick and coming In
contact With that class of poor who
have too much respect to make their
wants known, yet who are really the
most deserving and needy when their
true condition Is found out.
So at Christmas tide In this country
100,000 people will be furnished a good
substantial dinner, tens of thousands of
little children will receive gifts of
clothing, shoes and stockings, as well
as fruits and candles, and thousands
of homes will be made happy through
the visits of the soldier of the cross
in his or. her uniform of blue. A good
percentage of this number will be dis
tributed in the South.
What are the sacrifices of the com
forts of the fireside or the Inconven
iences that naturally come through the
raising of funds by the lads and lassies
on the bleak street corners as they
faithfully watch ’’the pots,’’ compared
to the Joy that comes from making
many homes happy and giving a more
