The Social Work of the Salvation Army

Poor; Salvation Army; Social history
In conclusion, then, we find that these objections advanced by the
critics are not without foundation, and while some may be more
tendencies than actualities, it lies with the organization to guard
itself from them. We have found the Army an efficient worker along
several lines, and society owes it a considerable debt for past service
and lessons learned from it. Hence it would be a great pity for its
efficiency as a great public servant to be lessened by a lack of
publicity regarding its finance, or by a narrow, self-centered policy,
or by a too centralized form of government. Some of the Army leaders are
men of great hearts and strong minds, and it is to be hoped that,
whenever in the future, the opportunity offers to make a beneficial
change of policy in its duty toward the public or toward its sister
organizations engaged in charitable work or in its own internal
administration, that these leaders will stand firmly for what they
believe, and demand the necessary change.
