The Salvation Army Self-Denial week begins this on Saturday. October loth. A great deal of the Army's success i* a 'hie t" 'iiie°"' ~rejii'. yearly effort, to ' rai.-H- carry on it~> work ot' ineicy and benevolence. From year to you , the amount collected has risen in a ino.-t striking fashion, thus clearly indicating that the work done has tko increasing support of the public, which is one of the best testimonials that a work if this sell-denying character can receive. The intelligent and scrupulous way in which the funds are disbursed is a factor in the .situation thta commends the appeal to every section. Two thousand men, reclaimed through the Salvation Army Homes have enlisted in Kitchener's Army and give a good N report for themselves. There are over 700 fallen men. women and children in our homes in New Zealand at present. The missionary spirit which the Army has developed is one of the most remarkable features ot its entire operations. At the present moment it <s sending forth bands of devoted men and women into countries where Christianity is still a by-word, and into savage lands where but a short time ago, u white man's lile was not worth a day's purchase. And this year the relief work done by the army has tmrpa.ssed all expectations. There am U),()00 wounded Jielgian soldiers being caved for in our London institutions alone and thousands of refugees ijt-eL cared for. Over 1000 halls and insbilutcb arc being uked lor Tuliel work, etc. A'Salvation Army officer is superintending the relief work in Servia, from funds provided largely in New Zealand. Over 15,000 Salvationists arc enlisted, including over 3000 bandsmen. We also have seventeen ambulance motor cars at thv: I rout manned by Salvationists. This work must go on. Please consider what you can deny yourself of to meet the gigantic need of 1!)15.
