[HE LAST OF
THE TAMBORINE
stnborine Collecting Methods to be
Supplanted by Home Service
.Drive for Funds.
Sditoriul in Kansas City, Mo., Jour-
ii.)
[The tinkling tamhoiine that has been
ittled countless times in every
Imerican city, haw gathered many
pillions of dollars in the course of
lie years during which The Army has
Practiced its splendid ministry of re-
lef and evangelization. One does
|ot need a very retentive or farreach-
pg memory to recall the time when
lie spectacle of a little band of Sal-
atton A r m y workers parading
lirough the streets and proclaiming
jie gospel of human service and of
siversal brotherhood as a religion
iclted sentiments no longer aroused.
[The attitude of the public ranged
|l the way from amused toleration to
Dtive opposition. The people fre-
uently derided these unselfish toilers
the vineyard of what had to be
one and of what no other agency
[id quite so effectively as The Sal-
fatlon Army The adaption of popu-
r airs to religious sentiments was
Jften jarring. The methods of readi-
ng the people were often "sensatlon-
ll"—certainly not "conventional."
The self-sacrificing devotion of The
Vrmy workers, laboring year after
tear for a bare maintenance, was
Jften overlooked in condemning the
eculiar manner in which The Army
fought to reach those it sought
But the great fundamental fact is
|hut it reached them. Through the
Various stages of its growth, 'Hie
truly has developed steadily in the
^otoein of the people, and diring the
Bat war it has attained a rank
long the foremost of all the effec-
ts institutions of the world. Its
|are of war-relief work has been
distinctive as in the humbler
lierc of activity in the slums and
t' ■ street-('()>oers. with the • mi-

I reposing on thr fa in il ia r tlruni la m
I big way- in a monumental way it
! did what, it had always been doinn,
j plus the performance <>t a I'm
, which T'*0 Army workers v. ore pe
: cnliarly titled. Of all t.tie agencies iti
1 the great war none stand- higher
j than The Salvation Army, and it is
only tilting that it should have tie
eided to take its place on a larger
j stage, with the inevitable change in
| methods that will enable it to play
I the larger part for which it is east.
A Drive is to be curried out this
j Spring and Summer, and if the (am-
| bourine is used at all it will be only
in a symbolic and reminiscent degree
! The Army will still be: found clown in
the slums and on the street-corners,
reaching those whom no other agency
has ever reached quite so effectively.
But the pasing of the tambourine
means the beginning of a new era of
service in the cause* of an organi/.a
tion which has earned the gratitude of
all who know of the part It has play-
ed in the relief work of the great war.
LESS NOISE BUT l\'GRE WORK
(Editorial, Houston I'ost I
The Salvation Army.
Although it made less noi.-e about
is:s work during the war than did some
other welfare organization- which
ministered to the needs of the soldiers
no other seems to have come out of
the war with a cleaner record or the
recipient of more universal praise
than the Salvation Army
Devoid of all sectarian bias it ren-
dered unusual service. While its op-
erations were not so extensive as
some of the other organizations, it
measured up to the standard of unsel-
fish service to the fullest extent.
Whatever It distributed, it gave free-
ly. It was fortunate in having noth-
ing to sell
Cardinal Gibbons paid the Salva-
tion Army a merited tribute the other
day when he said: "I rejoice in the
splendid service which the Salvation
Army rendered our soldier* and our
sailors during the war Every return-

ing trooper is a willing witness to the
el'lli lent and generous work of the
Salvation Army, both on 'he front, and
in the camps at home. The man In
need of help is the object of their
efforts, with never a question of his
creed or color''
Members of the Salvation Army
have been lamiliar figures on our
streets for many years A good many
people have not understood their
work, because It was different from
that of nearly nil other religious or
ganizafions. Too many have been In
dined to look upon it as of
not much consequence But those
in need in every city know what the
Salvation Army does If there are
any sufferers from* lack of sufficient
food and clothing in Houston today,
it is only because the Salvation Army
does not have sufficient means to
relieve them
With such a record as it made dur-
ing the war behind it, the Salvation
Army will hold a stronger appeal foi
the people The average pedestrian
on the city streets will see something
new in the little group of uniformed
singers and "testifiers" holding ser-
vices at the street corners, and he will
have a new interest in the blue
clad women of the Salva
tion Army when they so-
licit contributions. In the future, ev-
ery one who knows what, the Salvation
Army did for our boys In France, will
find a new pleasure iu giving to its
work.
