THE AUXILIARY LEAGUE.
1.--Of persons who,without necessarily endorsing or approving of every single method used by thee Salvation Army,are sufficiently in sympathy with its great work of reclaiming drunkards,rescuing the fallen--in a word,saving the lost--as to give it their PRAYERS,INFLUENCE,AND MONEY.
2.--Of persons who,although seeing eye to eye with the Army,yet are unable to join it,owing to being actively engaged in the work of their own denominations,or by reason of bad health or other infirmities,which forbid their taking any active part in Christian work.
Persons are enrolled either as Subscribing or Collecting Auxiliaries.
The League comprises persons of influence and position,members of nearly all denominations,and many ministers.
PAMPHLETS.--Auxiliaries will always be supplied gratis with copies of our Annual Report and Balance Sheet and other pamphlets for distribution on application to Headquarters.Some of our Auxiliaries have materially helped us in this way by distributing our literature at the seaside and elsewhere,and by making arrangements for the regular supply of waiting rooms,hydropathics,and hotels,thus helping to dispel the prejudice under which many persons unacquainted with the Army are found to labour.
