the coullilfiice of the cuiuiuou people
like this Salvation Army has won them
In recent years. I am going to pull
off my cout and do some real work
that will allow where I stand when It
comes to welching the homely, unos
tentatious and highly practical relief
methods of this amazing baud of work
er!. I heard the call. The problems of
the poor are there to be solved, and
they can uae my poor efforts perhaps,
ae I have answered the call.
"I won't do much talking In the com
ing drive. I will do real work, sad
when I do talk I don't want to talk ta
anyone but actual workers. There will
be no speech making by me to thoao
who might be curious to hear a former
cabinet otllcor In action, hut wbo are
not Interested In the work of the Sal
vation Army. I shall talk to werkere
and only to workers. The day for era
lory In such matters has gone. We are
down to brass tacks.
"I tliluk I owe It aa a citlxen af
America to shovr my understanding
and appreciation uf the helpful work
the Salvation Army la doing In Its res
cue homes, maternity hospitals, free
clinics. Industrial homes, fresh air
farms and tenement bouse relief work.
"My teatiuiony la not needed, bow-
ever, In this matter. There are 2,000,
MK or .H.otlO.OOO of young Americana
who went into the recent war cither
unaware tjtat Ihe Solvation Army ex
isted or having no use for Its methods
If they did know of it. So far us can
learn Ibese men came out of that war
unanimous on one subject- and that
was that the Salvation Army under
stood the average man, knew bow to
deal with him and simply 'delivered
the goods' ou the liKI per rent li-is.
"There Is no division of opinion on
that one subject. There could have
been no greater test for Ihe Siilviulon
Army than the test It received lu the
war. So after all 1 am lucrelv milling
my voire to the mighty chorus I have
referred to when I say that the Sulva
I Ion Army has long since won the right
to iniiUe un appeal to the rest of ua
for Its maintenance, and I am sure It
will not make that appeal In vain
"The Salvation Army one year ago
abandoned lis old custom of begging
In the streets the year around so that
ts workers could devote all of their
time and attention to the poor It
nukes an annual appeal each May.
personally I know of no greater bul
wark that could be raised against the
rising tide of human uurest thuti to
strengthen the haiois of this biii.it of
self sacrlflcliig Christian toilers nho
have the confidence of all men niul wo
men, regardless of race, clved. coli.i or
position In life I think It Is luijor
tanl for the luterests of our adv nio ii g
civilization that such a practUul and
wholesome work be stimulated and
maluialiM-d to the utmost.
"They sii.v there are no 'down and
outers' any more. Personally I do nut
believe it, or if I did believe It I would
know that tlie abnormal times have
swung tlae pi.tidulum back too far on
one aide-and that It will swing far
to the other side dlreclly. Thi-re will
always be a bottom to society. The
poor will alwaya be with ua. We owe
It to our fellow men to know our neigh
hor and share bis troubles and prob
lems, and uuly by that method can wa.
lu all fairness and righteousness, keep
the scales even lu this life.
"I am proud to face the problems of
the poor with the Salvation Army In
such a trying hour, aud I hope Ciat
American men and women will stand
with me lu the work ahead af us. Hut
they must be workers. I shall have no
lime lo ei.lrr'.atn m- eervre."

THfc SPIRIT THAT COMETH.
Someiimes us I sit in the evening
By ihe light of the glowing coals,
And ihe smoke, from my pipe, that goes upward,
A vision there unfolds.
A fuce in the h8ze that is saintly,
And ihe voice of the dying fire,
bpeuk like ihe voice of a living soul,
Vl'hui comes from my old black briar.
'lis then ihe Godly Spirit,
To my chamber enters in
And we lalk of life as it really is,
And of life as it might have been.
Then when ihe smoke has faded,
And I'm filled with hope that she gave,
I forget my grief and my sorrow,
And ihe silent lonely grave.
I know ihut the tlesh in the earth still dwells
But her soul has passed in the night,
And ii conies to my room at evening tide
To guide and 10 keep me right
As ihe fragrance of flowers lingers
After the plains have withered and dried,
So is the soul of my Saint still here
Though years have passed since she died.
1 see, as I sii in ihe hazy smoke,
The face that is smiling, yet sad;
The face ihai I love and call my own,
The only sweetheart I've had.
And (hough she is wrinkled and gray,
On eanh I would change for none other
To she whom I see in the hazy smoke,
Is my first love, mysweeheart, my Moiher.
