MISS BOOTH, IN RAGS, AIDED LONDON POOR

Salvation Army Commander, Disguised, Roamed Through Slums to Study Intimate Problems of East End Unfortunates. Miss Evangeline Booth, daughter of the late General William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, has given her life to the service of the poor and the unfortunate. Few persons, if any, know she went about in

the East End of London disguised in rags that she might help the unfortunate. When her father stood erect amid *a storm of abuse and even physical violence she stood beside him. She knows how , th^ poor suffer because she has suffered with them. She knows there still remains in the wreck of a dissolute man a spark of manhood that will kindle a redeeming flame, because she has fanned many flickering sparks until her patient has regained his feet She now heads the Salvation Army in the United States at the great moment of its career. The old time slurs and doubts have been banished. During the week of May 19-26 the Salvation Army will appeal to the people of the United States for thirteen million dollars to carry out Its after-the-war program. Contribute to the Salvation Army Home Service Fund Campaign. Remember, to the Salvation Army “A Man May Be Down, but He’s Never Out”

Evangeline Booth, Commander of the Salvation Army in the United States.
