They apent much the money that it had tok^ them many yeara to c<dlect in amall change ^^pent it ungrudgingly—4iecaiiae they, ■aw that our boya needed it. All they aal^ in return was that they be allowM by their every day ezamplee to teach the Christianity our Savior taught while on earth. Many a^diera tell of the wonder- ftal work the Salvaticm Army has done overseas. To me there ia nothing unusual about that work, but it ia the same kind of work and aervice the Salvation Army haa alwaya given here at home—at our very own doors. It haa taken the atoriea told by the returning soldlera who have come to know the Salvation Army to bring about thia wave of popularity for the Salvation Army, but the Army haa lU- waya woriced and aerved aa they are now serving. It reaches a claaa of people that no other religioua organisation can or attempts to reach. The men and women that are too r^ged and- mia* erable to attend the services at our churches—they reach the poverty that hidea and ahrinka in the by-waya of life. A man or woman can never fall 80 low, but that thia army of earnest workera stretch out a helping hand to them. Every man, woman and child in America should contribute to this Home Service fund because there ie not a comer in our beloved land, however remote, that does not receive direct benefit from the Salvation Army, for fifty per cent of the popu lation of the cities is made up of people that come from small towns and from those remote sections and ninety per cent of the boys and girls that appeal to the Salvation Army for assistance - are those Who have come to the large cities and find them selves unequal to the struggle for ex istence. The Salvation Army conducts Res cue Homes, Day Nurseries, Homes for the Helpless and Aged and Blind, Lodging Houses for the men and wom en that are unable to pay and free clinics—it extends its services every where that fuisery and poverty exists. Soldiers Tell Of Overseaa Work. The soldiers that are returning from France after their hard Strug gle 'have nothing but words of praise for the Salvation Army, and from the lips of a soldfier now at Camp Gordon comes a story of a frail Salvation Army Icyssie that defied the shot and shell of the Hon and carried him three mjles to a first aid station and saved his life—that man is Sergeant James McCoy ot Co. E 17th Infan- tiy. Sergeant McCoy is the proud possessor of the Croix de Guerre, and the famous Belgium medal for brav ery was among the first Americans to Join the Allies in the great world war. “It was on my twentieth birthday, August 5, ldl8, in the famous Argonne Forest that I received five machine gun'^ bullets In my legs as a sort of a birthday present from the Hun,” says Sergeant McCoy, of Camp Gor don, Atl:;nta, Ga., as he extolled the work of the Salvation Army abroad. “The rain of bullets from the ma chine gsms brought me to the ground with h-andreds of my comrades. In spite ot the pain, I crawled along, and after making two miles towards a first aid station I fell in a faint and lay there with shot and shell burst ing around me. I will never know who found me, but when I awakened I wa» looking into the eyes of a frail Salvation Army lassie, who had bound my wounds to check the flow of blood and who was bathing my face bringing me back to consciousness. “It was after midnight, and the only light around us came from the bursting bombs and the hand gre nades which were being hurled by one ' of the strongest battalions of the Ger man Crown Prince. She bade me have courage and said that she would carry me to the nearest first aid sta tion, which was three miles away. She imloosoned my equipment and carried me in a military fashion straight out over that perilous jour ney three miles, away. Time and she stopped to regain her strength and each time after she was ready to go on she would bathe my and make mo as con^ortfiblo as possible. How long it t^ her to bring me through that shot ridden I wffl never know, for I after wards learned that I fainted several times during the journey. It was daylight when the lassie carried me to the first aid station and after she Um gnateat frianda we hive* and, it* the Amwi^m public 'can only be toU of'ten par crat oic their heroic deedi ia No Ifaa's Land tiio apprDpviatloc ot $1S,000,000, 'asked tor by the> Sal vatioo Arpiy, will be but a dr<q^ in the Iraokit of the funds actually received Brothera. siatera. wives or aweet hearts the Ameriean aoMlers should •Iway lore and support the SalVhtloii An^, for (hey owe that Womderf ul or gaateation a debt of gratitnd^ for b| Its example of humble Christian ser vice ft has Implanted in the hearts ol the'worjd through her flidkttng .meB a renei^ed faith hi Christ and the see^ it has sown In No Man’s Land and' at the training campa, which wiK aprlixg up and bear fruit that will giv« the world fha flrat real taste of de mocracy. Heroee Kxptain Why 'In the following worda ?rivati Frank Ivy^ of Ooldaboro, N. C., sunu up what he haa seen of the work bl the l^vati^ Army abroad. Private Ivy, who was a member of Company K, 167th Infantry, waS severely wound ed in the early battles of Soissoxis While he lay on his cot at Fort Me Pherpon Hospital, waiting time tc heal the wounds inflicted by the Huns, he was at his happiest period as he discussed the work of the Sal vation Army,' both here and abroad ~ When he learned of the cominf drive in May for additional funds foi this great cause, the wounded here said: “I hope I am out by that time and, if I am not, there are thousand! who would go fSr and wide to tell tht people of this country just what the Salvation Army standa tor, what it die for ita.boTS under shell fire, in the hospitals, and, in fact, everywhere we went, t^e Salvation Army worker wae bound to be there. This is no adver tising campaign, for all the boys will have to do is to tell the truth of this great work and the great American public will do the rest;" Sergeant George Henderson, of Jacksonville, Fla., who was wounded at Chateau Thierry, is following the example of Private Cook an€ organ izing the discharged soldiers of Flor ida to put over the Salvation Army Drive in his home State, as the Sal vation Army so ably assisted to put over drive after drive in the cruelest days ot the great world war. “We doughboys know how to help, and are going to do it,’* says Ser geant Henderson. “The Salvati(» Army cared not for ehot or shell, for their only tho^ht was to aid others in spite of the personal risk to them selves. They started in the war with us at our training camps in America and remained with tts until we put the Hun back on his own ground and started him on the greatest retreat that a losing army was ever forced to mako. Debt of Gratitude America will never know the grati tude she owee to. the Salvation Army and the number of liVes that this little sturdy band of workera saved by theii fearless actions in the greatest of all fights.” Hundreds of statements have come to our office from those who know of the Salvation Army’s work in the trenches. There will be no vital change to the administration of the work. The Tam bourine Girl will no longer circulate among us, however, except at detro- tional services. The big drive is foi funds to replace this smiling ).assie and release her from collecting small change to devote her entire time to a work of mercy. The people of Ame'rica will be asked to contribute once each year instead of all the year round to the Salvation Army and per petuate its work. Some of the most prominent men in the South will tour this section of the country in the interest of the drive. Judge J. S. Rejmolds, tormwly Solicitor General of the Augusta Cir cuit ftnd one of 'the beSt known law yers in the South, is chairman of the speaker committee. He has gathered about him men who have made good ia their respective lines and who will speak in the behalf ot the Salvation Army Drive. Among the prominent speakers who will tour the South are: Judge Mar cus Beck, of Georgia; Dr. S. R. Belk, Walter P. Andrews ot Atlanta, Clif ford Walker, Attorney General for Georgia, Rev. James Hortcm, C. Mur phy Candler, Georgia Railroed Com missioner, Hooper Alexander, Dhftrict Attorney, and many others. The Salvation Army Is not basing its plea for funds on its'war record It has behind it In America forty years of work as thoroughly and con acientiously rendered as wa« the work of the A^ny lao^ and laesies bi th«> t-ennhae and on the battlefields Fiance.

'**Now 1 know I am home^” he sai^ “Those doughnuts helped a whole lot *o|(» there,’ and, first crack out of the box when we land, we find more wait ing for us. The best thing about the Salvation Army work out near the front line was the smUe that accompanied the gift Hioee girls, had a knack of wrapping up every doughnut and every cup ot coffee in a smile.
