furnished by the Corps; but records were kept, and, as the
work increased, Divisional and Provincial Officers were appointed, with
particular responsibility for the Work in their areas; so that in even
the most distant corners of the world, wherever there is a registered
Salvationist, there is some Staff Officer to whom he must report what he
is doing, and who is expected periodically to visit each Corps, see that
the reports made are accurate, and that the work is not merely being
done "somehow," but done as it ought to be, in the Master's Spirit of
Love and Hope for the vilest. And all this without the absolute promise
of a penny reward to any one! In fact, from the first, The General
taught his Officers that they must try to raise all expenses of the work
in their Commands within the borders of the districts in which they were
operating. He has always regarded it as a proper test of the value of
work done that those who see it are willing to pay as much as they can
towards its continuance. And, to this day, The Army's resources consist
not so much in large gifts from outsiders as of the pence of those who
take part in or attend its services.

Regulations are made, from time to time, as to the amount any Officer
may draw for himself, according to the cost of living where he is at
work, though a considerable number do not regularly receive the full
amount. So utterly, indeed, above any such consideration have our
Officers, everywhere, proved themselves to be that, to guard against
needless sacrifice of health and life, it has been necessary to fix,
also, in each country, a minimum allowance, which the Staff Officers
must see that the Field Officers receive. Knowing, as I do, that many
devoted Officers have, for months together, been down at the minimum
level of six shillings per week, in little places where we have no
wealthy friends to help a Corps into greater prosperity, I feel it safe
to say that never was there a religious society raised and led to
victory with so much reliance upon Divine Grace to keep its workers in a
perfectly unselfish and happy condition.

Space forbids any description of the heroic labours by which The General
and Mrs. Booth, travelling, holding Meetings, and corresponding, managed
to extend The Army's work throughout Great Britain; so that before its
name had been adopted ten years, it had made itself loved or dreaded in
many parts.

At the earliest possible date in The Army's history, Th
