W. Tiffin, Envoy Stanley Newman. was the guest speaker at the meeting of the Lions Club on Friday evening, when he spoke of the varied prole. IMO which arise in tine wide area for which he is responsible. The speaker, who was introduced by Lion. DeWitt Miller, said that When the Salvation Army was founded by William Booth there wag no intention of starting an- other denomination, but rather the earnest desire to assist unfortunate people in all walks of life, and to steer 'them back to their own churches. HoweVer, in many cases none of the churches of that day were prepared to accept the out- casts and the spiritual side of Sal- vation Army work was developed. to meet their need. Mr. Newman said that in his own experience little can be ac- complished. by distributing food, clothing and fuel to those in need unless the approach to such mis- fortune is a spiritual one. Without sincere spiritual advice, the re- cipients seem always to be in need, but when religious responsibility 'becomes a part of the program there is, in most cases, a real effort to become self-sufficient once again, "We are not a 'back street mis- sion'," said the speaker, "we preach the same Gospel as the other Christian churches." Mr. Newman briefly outlined the varied problems which cam, and often de face a Salvation Army officer in the course of a week. A great deal of travelling is involv- ed, for the area served by the Wingham Corps covers 2,000 square miles, Hope for New Building One of the most urgent needs of the local Salvation Army group is a new building, for the present structure does not provide any room for young people's recreation —a vital pirt of successful social and religious work today. The money 'budgeted for local work is not a very large amount. The full co-operation of the people of the district will be needed if the Salvation Army is to fully serve the community's needs, The appreciation of the club was DON RAE WINS TRAP SHOOT GROUP MAKES PLANS FOR ANNUAL BAZAAR with her work in Central India.
