In March, 25 delegates from B.C. North and Yukon Tty Div attended a divisional congress in Alaska, U.S.A. Western Tty. The delegates, including Mjrs Robert and Shirley Ratcliff, divisional leaders, ranged in age from five to 79. The Canadians were warmly welcomed by their American hosts and many were re-acquainted with family and friends. Congress events included a march of witness, men's and women's rallies, morning Bible studies led by Mjr Robert Ratcliff, and evening meetings. Canadian delegates shared in ministry through music, testimony and leading songs. Delegates were challenged to be all they can be in Christ Jesus, with many responding by making first-time decisions or recommitments. Following the congress, the Canadian team, led by the auxiliary-captains from the division, ministered for two nights at nearby Saxman Corps. Many were encouraged to draw closer to God and continue living for Him. ALL I CAN BE IN CHRl 1 JE Alaskan dance group in action Halifax, N.S.

I agree with him, but how about a little heart for the older people in our corps? These are the ones who have made the Army what it is today. Without their experiences and knowledge, where would the Army be? Let's give credit where credit is due. If we want our churches to grow, let's look to seniors for advice and assistance. If we do not, we are losing a great deal. John William Taylor Niagara Falls, Ont. PENT/CTON, B.C.-Family services volunteers with Lt-Col Donald Copple, DC, B.C.

Whata Recalling their 120-year heritage, Salvationists praise Jesus in a three-day event cele n open-air meeting on the historic site in London, Ontario, where the Army in Canada commenced, kicked off Ontario West Division's Celebrate Jesus! Congress (May 3-5). A re-enactment of the momentous meeting of Addie and Ludgate, pioneer Salvationists, preceded a welcome to the city by Councillor Gary Williams. Giving leadership were General John Gowans and Commissioner Gisele Gowans, international leaders; supported by Commissioners Bill and Gwen Luttrell and Colonel Linda Bond, territorial leaders; and Lt-Colonels David and Margaret Hiscock, DC and DDWO. Following officer councils Friday afternoon, 300 attended a celebration ofleadership dinner saluting officers, future leaders, civic leaders, local clergy, friends and supporters. Barrie Neal, advisory board chair, and W Russ Monteith, deputy mayor, brought greetings to the visitors. Friday evening's welcome meeting, a celebration of joy, began with a musical prelude by the London Citadel Band and Songsters and the Divisional Youth Chorus. Anticipation was high as the figures of Jack Addie and Joe Ludgate, in period costume, portrayed by Major Doug Smith and Joel lvany, met and in so doing began the Army in Canada. Full of joy that God had united them, they set out to acquire uniforms and invite people to the Saviour. A few moments later, the audience viewed them in uniform marching down the aisle with Salvationists, among them the congress leaders. "Congresses are special times," stated the General following his introduction. "Things happen. It's a time of revelation, when the light of God falls upon you. You and I have to turn to the light-accept it and walk in it. We are here to see fresh revelation from God." In her address, Commissioner Gowans reminded her listeners that nothing is impossible with God. Referring to Addie and Ludgate, she acknowledged they were successful in what they set out to do because they were convinced that nothing was impossible to God. "Energy and wisdom are available from our living God for every time and situation." Contributing to the celebration was a worship team led by Captain Leonard Ballantine and cadets from Toronto CFOT dramatically presenting the Scripture reading. In his message, the General queried if July 2002 • The War Cry 5

each was all they could be for Christ. To gain rhe applause of God, one must invest all of one's life. "Examine the quality of your service, examine the quality of your life," he directed. "See ifit is the best; if not, why not?" he continued. Saturday commenced with a wellattended men's breakfast followed by delegates attending workshops led by Majors Kathryn Trim and Donna Barrhau, Captains Geoff and Sandra Ryan, Nancy Turley and Joyce Hawkins. Over 300 women attended the women's luncheon, with its theme "An Army Cup of Tea." It featured a presentation of women's ministries in the division over the years and the music of Laura Maclellan, Allison Berkshire and Anita Hiradhor. Commissioner Gowans shared vignettes of individuals around the world who believed through their witness that nothing, including a handicap, death or distance, could separate chem from the love of God. Saturday afternoon, following the sod turning for the new Centre of Hope co be built at London's Wellington and Bathurst Streets, an outdoor community barbecue convened. At Saturday evening's celebration of salvation, musical participants included the massed bands from South Windsor and Eastwood Corps, the Divisional Youth Band and Chorus, worship team and 6 The War Cry • July 2002 massed timbrels. Phyllis Vega, Ridgetown/Wallaceburg Corps, testified of her redemption by God from the bitterness that consumed her following the death of her husband. 'Tm now serving Him in full-time ministry," she exclaimed. Sandi Oszter testified to God's provision for his life. A Romanian refugee, he sought freedom from tyranny and found it at an Army corps in Windsor. Lonely and wanting to learn English, he began attending the Army. "There," he stated, "I discovered a family chat loved me and shared the Gospel." During the evening, BM Jim Gordon, Woodstock Corps, was recognized for starting and giving leadership, from 1990 to 2001, to the Divisional Youth Band. In accepting a plaque from the territorial commander, Jim paid tribute to his wife, Barb, for her support during his involvement with the band. "You are the choosers," stated the General at the beginning of his evening's message. "God took a terrible risk in giving people choice," he continued, "because some people choose badly and reject Him. With every choice comes accountability, so be careful how you choose." Many responded to the General's invitation. Sunday morning 130 attended the ministry opportunities breakfast at which the General shared eloquently regarding the "pay" chat Army officers receive. He told the participants chat the first questions to be asked regarding officership should not be about salary, benefits and the retirement package. "I have been well paid," he said, then shared stories about his "payment" -the many people who have been blessed and transformed as a result of his ministry. ''An officer's pay is the blessing of God on his or her ministry," he concluded. Nine cadets from the division are entering training in September. Over 1,000 worshippers gathered Sunday morning for a celebration of holiness. Musical contributors were the massed songsters from South Windsor and Eastwood Corps, massed bands from Woodstock and Westminster Park Corps, and the worship team. BM David Robertson, Westminster Park, testified to the miracle God performed in his life after he ceased pursuing his own selfish ambitions. Focusing on 1 Peter 2, Commissioner Gowans, in her address, stated that God's divine power gives us everything we need to be efficient, effective and productive for the Lord. "All of us," she said, "should be eager to add to our faith to make our calling and election sure as the Scripture states."

In his message, General Gowans reminded his audience that Christianity is more than confession and pardon; Jesus came to give Christians power to live lives of holiness and partner with them in mission. "Every corps should have a holiness meeting," he declared. 'The corps without a holiness meeting is starving its people. Holiness is more than pardon; it is progress. If we aren't more Christlike this month, we are going on empty," he stated. "If the Salvation Army loses its power, it might win many battles but it is not powerful for the Lord. We want to be a powerful, not popular Army." During the lengthy appeal, dozens knelt in prayer, making new commitments for salvation and claiming fresh power for holy living. Celebrate Jesus! concluded with the singing of Praise God Im Saved and hundreds pledging a deeper commitment to serving God and others. Yes indeed, General, many things happen at congresses! we 1 "Welcome; General"; 2 Lt-Col Hiscock, DC, presides at sod turning ceremony; 3 music makers at women's luncheon; 4 "Your autograph, General"; 5 serving at the community barbecue; 6 some "early Salvationists"; 7 London Citadel Band; 8 massed timbrels; 9 BM Jim Gordon receives plaque from territorial commander; 10 Commissioner Gowans chats over a hamburger; 11 workshop presenter Joyce Hawkins; 12 Divisional Seniors' Band provides music at open-air meeting July 2002 • The War Cry 7

women Army officer named woman of the year Major Carletta Thornhill received the 2002 Nelle Carter Woman of the Year Award from the Orillia Business Women's Association. Serving as C&FS officer and assistant CO in Orillia, Ont., since 2000, the major has fully embraced her ministry to the community. "It took her no time to put her finger on the pulse of the community," said Stephanie Foster and Kim Robins in their nomination of Major Thornhill, "to identify projects she felt she could help with that would enrich her city and make it a more vibrant and healthy place to live." Major Thornhill serves with Stephanie and Kim at North Simcoe Victim Crisis Services, a victim crisis assistance and referral service financed by the victim services unit of the ministry of the attorney general. Largely staffed by welltrained volunteers, including Major Thornhill, victim crisis services provide immediate and confidential emotional and practical support to victims of crime or tragic circumstances. Referrals to other services in the community that can help on a long-term basis, such as The Salvation Army, are given to victims. Major Thornhill is heavily involved in other corps and community programs that attempt to make a difference in the lives of individuals, including a moms' and tots' program, the food bank and a nutrition program for school children. She is part of the "flex fund" program that supplies financial assistance to the homeless or people at imminent risk of becoming homeless, and "share the warmth" which assists those in danger of going without heat due to financial difficulties. Major Thornhill has partnered with the "key program" through the Community Mental Health Centre to provide food, hot beverages, gloves, socks, comfort and caring to people on the streets of O rillia. Major Thornhill serves as official clergy to the Bereaved Families of Orillia organization and the Royal Canadian Legion-Branch 34.

Major Thornhill also serves with the Kiwanis Club of Orillia, the Kiwanis Music Festival, the Safe Place Project, the Orillia Gospelfest Committee, the Alliance to End Homelessness and the Orillia Coalition for a Healthy Community. "My goal is to make someone else's life richer, to empower them, to treat them with dignity and respect," Major Thornhill said in an interview with Orillia's newspaper, Packet & Times, "and help them make a contribution to the community."

Changes announced Following extensive consultation with the General's Consultative Council, the International Management Council, the world president and world secretary of women's organizations, and territorial leaders, the General has decided to make a number of changes to the international and territorial administration of the Army's ministry by women for women and their families. New focus The concept and title of women's organizations is to be discontinued internationally, territorially and divisionally, and a new focus is to be given to women's ministries. Women's ministries encompasses all types of ministry by women for women and their families, including home league, women's fellowships, women's interest groups, workshops, programs and activities of any kind such as Bible study and prayer groups, health/nutrition education programs, vocational training, literacy classes, camps and retreats, and support groups. Rationale • To preserve and strengthen what in most territories is one of the most effective outreach programs • To recognize the great diversity of programs by women for women and their families that now exists, and to focus the administrative energy on these • To remove anomalies in the existing administrative structure and simplify procedures • To give greater territorial discretion for adaptation to local circumstances whilst at the same time maintaining a degree of international uniformity • To give greater freedom for married women officers to be appointed according to their gifts and skills 8 The War Cry • July 2002 Effective July 1, Commissioner Gwen Luttrell is designated as territorial president of women's ministries (TPWM) and Colonel Gwenyth Redhead as territorial secretary for women's ministries (TSWM). All divisional directors of women's organizations are designated as divisional directors of women's ministries (DDWM), an appointment held by the wife of the divisional commander or the DC herself if a female officer. For the Canada and Bermuda Territory, effective July 1, community care ministries, currently under the women's department, will move to the program services department. On the divisional level, CCM is the responsibility of the DSP. Also, the Fellowship of the Silver Star moves to the personnel services

A strong link with the TPWM remains. The territorial secretary of volunteer services becomes part of the personnel services department. On the divisional level, the volunteer services secretary continues to report to the DSP. The divisional retired officers' secretary is responsible to the DDWM. New designations The following designations are used in connection with key women's ministries appointments: Internationally • world president of women's ministries (wife of the General or the General herself if a female officer) • world secretary for women's ministries (usually the wife of the Chief of the Staff) • zonal secretary for women's ministries (usually the wife of the zonal international secretary, but where the IS is a female officer, other arrangements may be made) Territorially • territorial president of women's ministries (wife of the TC or the TC herself if a female officer) • territorial secretary for women's ministries (usually the wife of the CS) Divisionally • divisional director of women's ministries (wife of the DC or the DC herself if a female officer) In some situations, especially where a single female officer holds the appointment, the titles president or director denote a symbolic presidential/director role in which the chief duty is to preside at territorial/divisional events for women; in other situations these titles denote hands-on leadership. All officers in the above list may hold additional appointments outside women's ministries. As a general rule, the only women's ministries appointments automatically linked with appointments of spouses are those listed above.

Chief secretaries who are single female officers will not normally have the title TSWM. July 2002 • The War Cry 9

Montreal Quebec Division's English women's rally, under the theme "What women want," was held in Montreal. Musical guest for the event was the University of Toronto Gospel Choir, a group comprised of committed Christians. Choir members shared from the Word and Rochelle lvany presented slides of her two mission trips to South Africa, zeroing in on the children's home and hospital for children with AIDS in Soweto. "We had double the attendance from the year previous," says Major Beverly lvany, DDWM and DSP, "and many commented on the spiritual vitality of the youth. An excellent day!" FISHing in British Columbia Adrienne Hildebrand, Powell River, B.C., couldn't escape it. She felt God speaking to her to start a moms' and tots' group in her home corps, believing He had even given this ministry a name. Adrienne shared her feeling with Captain Geoff Groves, then CO, who encouraged her to give it a try. "If you're being obedient to God's will, He will bless your efforts," he said. In January 2001, FISH (Friends, Inspiring, Sharing, Having fun) commenced and God has richly blessed it. Each week, an average of 12 moms and 18 children attend the group, joining in its mission to share the love of Christ through friendship and caring. Under Adrienne's leadership, moms and children enjoy singing about Jesus, reading Bible stories, working on crafts and sharing refreshments. A highlight of the program is circle time, a few minutes set aside for songs and finger play. "Every Monday the corps building rings with the sound of children's voices," says Captain Geoff Groves, "some happy, some not so happy, but all of it a joyous noise as Christ's love is shared powerfully and openly with all the FISH moms and tots." 1 O The War Cry • July 2002 Bermuda Bermuda Premier Jennifer Smith and her mother, Mrs Lillian Smith, host a Mother's Day tea at the premier's private residence for the St. George's home league, of which Lillian is a member Standing from left, Mjr Lynette Rowe, DDWM, Premier Jennifer Smith and Cpt Susan Fuller, CO, St. George's Corps.

corps ministries "Sherbrooke, praise My name" by Major Barbara Carey CO, Sherbrooke CC, Quebec God is doing His work in the lives of members of Sherbrooke CC, Quebec. During our last planning meeting, we sought God's direction for our corps. He said to us: "Praise and glorify My name." It is our prayer that through our lives, testimonies and prayers, the Lord's name will be proclaimed and our friends, neighbours and community will be drawn to Him. We believe God is telling us He wants to be involved in every aspect of our lives, in our family, work and church life. He is teaching us how to be whole Christians that glorify His holy name by the way we live, act and react. The testimony of CSM Paul Desroberts summarizes best what we feel God is doing and intends to do in our corps, but mostly in each of us, so that we can lift the name of the Lord and draw others to Him. "What does God do for my family? He makes it grow. I am grateful for His grace and His love, and daily we must put into practice what we have been taught. It is at that moment that our relationship with God becomes intimate. He talks to us through His gentle Spirit, comforts us when we fail and teaches us His grace, without which we could not proclaim His name. Let us be grateful for the long-term work He is doing in us." Because we are located downtown, we have many occasions to meet new people, to minister to their physical needs for clothing, food and furniture. Every Sunday, new people come to worship, but we are still struggling to integrate them into our corps family. We are convinced that small group ministry is the best way to help them belong to our family and we are praying for God's direction. Reinforcement We are thankful to Captains Linda and Serge Descoeurs, assistant COs, who have joined our corps family with their two children. God is using them amongst the young people as He (,,eates ;1 you ch on ftre for Him.

How one Salvationist beats the drum for Christ by Milfted Harper received a drum set from my uncle when I was quite young and practised constantly. By age seven, I had learned to play the snare drum. During chis time, God spoke to me, telling me that I would one day serve Him in a pipe band. I had been to many parades and heard the pipes, but I wanted no part of it. However, my life was about to change. My first years in pipe bands were not easy. I enjoyed playing and meeting highlanders, but as a Christian, the heavy drinking and dirty jokes bothered me. The rule was that if any drummer dropped his stick, either on parade or in practice, he had to buy the entire band a beer. Whenever my turn came, I bought them a root beer. I got to a point in my life where the pipe bands were becoming my god-it was all I lived for. In the Bible, God says: "You shall have no other gods before Me." The Lord had to use a serious situation in my life to wake me up to the reality of what it meant to live for Him. Since then, my priorities are Jesus first, family second and pipe band third. Eventually I became a drum major. I had yet to meet a Christian piper or percussionist, but one night, after a tattoo in Bancroft, Ont., someone from another band approached me and asked if I was a Christian. I told him I was, and we had a beautiful conversation about the Lord, including our mutual dream of one day having a Christian pipe band association. Jesus said to take the message of His love into all the world. I certainly try to do this in my world. Once at the highland games a judge's pen ran out of ink. I gave him mine, which had an Army crest on it. He looked at it for a long time and afterwards we had a discussion about spiritual Did you kriow ... there is an official Salvation Army tartan? Developed as a fund-raiser for the centenary of the Perth Corps, Scotland, in 1983, it is now available to Salvationists and others around the world through its official distributors, Kirk Wynd Highland House in St. Andrews, Scotland. For more information, see their Web site at: www.highland-house.co.uk. things. It's amazing to me the little things that God can use as opportunities for witnessing. Another time, when we were visiting a band, the manager's wife told me that she had cancer and I promised to pray for her. I have also seen answers to prayer. At the Glengarry Highland Games in Maxville, Ont., I spoke to a man who had been the piper at my wedding. He had been so impressed with the Christian ceremony chat he gave his life to Christ. I still enjoy the pipes and drums. I am never ashamed to tell people that I am a Christian and a Salvationist. I always wear the Salvation Army crest on my highland uniform, as well as my Salvation Army tie when I am on duty with the local pipers' society. It is a unique opportunity for witness, and after all God's done for me, I want to share His love with others. we Mi!fred Harper, a Salvationist .from Kemptville Corps, Ont.

MAP The following is a response to "Alone or with partners?" by Graham Moore which ran in the April 2002 issue of The War Cry o c m rum by Norka Lauper The implications of partnering with major corporations can be risky The idea of partnering with major corporations continues to be a tumultuous one for religious and justice-based organizations. This is due, in part, to our realization that the world, our "global village," is increasingly vulnerable to the decisions made by powerful world actors, some of the most powerful being multinational corporations. To what extent is the Army willing to work co-operatively with the private sector? This is an especially challenging question considering that some, if not most, of these entities hold values contradictory to the Army's values. Additional consideration needs to be given to how this might fare against the efforts of other nongovernmental organizations who porations. Embedded within the Army's responsibility as a religious-based charitable organization, and even more so as a church, is the need to educate Salvationists and its constituents about these practices, ensuring that Army principles are not compromised. Understanding that within the context of the global society of which the Army forms a part, what it does here and now impacts others around the globe. Individual or collective decisions have a bearing on others. Ultimately we must come to the acceptance that the world is being continually transformed, and we are continually transforming it. What we see in our midst right now is the result of our channel much of their energy toward fighting injustices commit- Values and red by such corporations. It was primarily due to religious-based principles of the organizations' efforts that human rights violations committed in Third World nations by Nike private and became widely exposed. The Gap's inhumane treatment of workers through its notorious sweatshops, which led to boycotting and protesting at its storefronts a few years ago, is another example. Third World debt is also a case in non-profit sector need not clash point when taking into account that major banks, in addition to the International Monetary Fund, continue to profit exponentially at the expense of many poor nations even after foreign debt has been paid many times over. At the same time, many Third World governments are forced to cut back on social programs to meet the financial responsibility to richer nations. Awareness of this injustice led to the formation of the Jubilee Initiative on debt forgiveness. Taking factors such as these into account, a dilemma ensues as to the implications of partnering with such cor14 The War Cry • July 2002 past decisions. We must not be fooled into believing that what we do here and now does not have an effect on other nations or upon our own future. Thus, the current dilemma, for whilst partnering with corporations would mean ·an increase in the Army's capacity to expand programs to further benefit those in need, what do such partnerships mean within the context of global responsibility? In a rapidly changing world where competition for resources is rampant, this challenge becomes even more accentuated. The positive side to this is that not all corporations uphold such practices, nor are they unwilling to make changes to reexamine their ethics. Corporations with exemplary business ethics do exist. The Body Shop is a well-known example in its commitment to the environment and human justice. Profit and justice need not collide. Increasingly, corporations like Indigo, who recently partnered with a nongovernmental organization in its efforts to eliminate illiteracy, are proving that values and principles of the private and non-profit sector need not clash. The answer, therefore, must lie at least in part on whom the Army chooses to partner with. Perspective and focus play key roles in helping the Army map out how it will conduct its work on the basis of its values and principles. We need to ask what the focus of the intended partnership will be. Apart from the financial element, will partnering mean engaging in a process of dialogue and relationship building that will help attenuate the ills of dubious corporate practices? If taken in this direction, it is possible to have a positive partnering relationship with corporations and in this way extend the motto "anyone, anywhere." we

candidates 97 delegates gather for seminars on officership Delegates and officers gathered at Toronto and St. John's CFOTs for the 2002 seminars on officership under the theme "For such a time as this." In Toronto, 53 delegates participated in workshops on curriculum and personnel issues related to officer training. An interactive ministry display, featuring many of the Army's ministries available in the Toronto area, was presented. Workshop leader Major David McCann focused on ministry opportunities in Quebec in his session "Mission on your doorstep," while Majors Ray and Cathie Harris presented the workshop "The nature and purpose of officership." Colonel Linda Bond, then chief secretary, joined delegates for the Sunday morning holiness meeting, preaching about the anointing of David by the prophet Samuel, taking 1 Samuel 16 as her text. She reminded delegates God chooses spiritual leaders to guide and shepherd His people. The mercy seat and holiness table were lined with men and women committing themselves afresh for God's service. Commissioners Bill and Gwen Luttrell joined 44 delegates for the seminar held at St. John's CFOT. Participants enjoyed workshops presented by Captain Wendy Mouland (corps officership), Major Brenda Holnbeck (avenues of ministry) and Colonels Roy and Joy Bungay (cross-cultural ministry). Devotional and prayer sessions, under the leadership of Major Calvin Fudge, were highlights of the weekend and offered opportunities for delegates and seminar leaders to draw close to God. In her keynote address "It's about time," Commissioner Gwen Luttrell stressed the importance of seizing the opportunity to do something for God and trusting Him to provide the power to accomplish the task. Commissioner Bill Luttrell challenged delegates to remember there is a time for everything, and now is the time to dedicate their lives to God's service. The mercy seat was a scene of tears and joy as lives were recommitted to God. wc Major Holly Patterson IHQ build·ng scheme agreed A development agreement has been entered into between The Salvation Army International Trustee Company and Hines Real Estate Holdings Limited Partnership to redevelop the site of the Army's international headquarters (IHQ) on Queen Victoria Street, central London. 2004. To facilitate this work, IHQ has temporarily relocated to William Booth College at Denmark Hill, London. wc A new headquarters will be built on the western end of the present site, adjacent to the pedestrian walkway and bridge linking St. Paul's Cathedral to the new Tate Modern Gallery. The remainder of the site will be developed for commercial letting. The new headquarters will be provided at no cost to the Army by means of a leasehold interest in the portion of the site being developed for commercial offices. International Headquarters has retained the freehold ownership of the entire site. The two buildings have been designed as independent structures; enabling either to be separately redeveloped in the future. While it will be a functional office development, the IHQ building will also demonstrate the Army's religious purpose and ethos. The new headquarters building will encourage interaction, by means of visitor information services, with the many thousands of tourists and visitors who pass along the walkway following the opening of the pedestrian footbridge across the Thames. Demolition and construction work has commenced with the new buildings being available for occupation towards the end of Artist's impression of new /HQ and walkway from St. Paul's Cathedral to Mfllennium Footbridge and Tate Modern Gallery July 2002 • The War Cry 15

Surprised in Montreal "Let Us Surprise You" was the theme for Quebec Division's annual general meeting at which 270 guests, made up of business people, donors, members and employees, were made aware of ways in which The Salvation Army assists the needy of the province through its wide array of services. For the first time, the meeting was conducted in the French language. Recognition of the Army's contribution to society was offered in a letter from Prime Minister Jean Chretien, in which he also welcomed General John Gowans to Canada. The Honourable Madame Lise Thibault, the lieutenant-governor of Quebec, was a guest of honour and showed her enthusiastic support of the humanitarian work of the Army through her presence and her address to the assembly. In it, she noted that our world can be a more humane place in which to live if we work together to assist people. Salvationists and friends can help Quebec and Canada blossom by their efforts. Quebec's lieutenant-governor signs the guest book at annual dinner Commissioner Bill Luttrell, territorial commander, introduced General and Commissioner Gowans. The General shared some of his experiences gained as world leader. From the poorest to the richest nations of the world, The Salvation Army carries on works of beneficence to a wide variety of people. In South Africa, he witnessed Salvationists lovingly care for children without a future, those afflicted with AIDS. He saw Salvationist medical staff care for the sick in spite of inadequate hospital facilities in India and, at the opposite end of the economic scale, in three modern hospitals in Japan. In Australia, young people who had forgotten how to work were being given job skills in a furniture factory. In Tanzania, almost 200 handicapped people were learning how to find work through the help of the Army. He congratulated all those who give of their time and money. "Helping the poor," he finished, "is an intelligent thing to do." During the meal a video focused on the work in Quebec. Until the 1990s, the Army was mainly active in the Quebec City and Montreal areas, but since then, the work has exp_anded to five other areas. wc Captain Betty Lessard Sacrifices of battle July 1 is a day often filled with memory and emotion in Newfoundland. Even after 86 years, a solemn hush falls over the island as it remembers this date in 1916. It was then that the proud and courageous Newfoundland regiment left 710 of its total strength of 778 lying in "no man's land" between British and German trenches near the village of Beaumont Hamel in France. As the morning dawned, laden with rifles and equipped with two sandbags on their belts, helmets, shovels, flares, wire cutters and other necessities for this grim day, they waited in those notorious trenches for the command co go "over the top" into the flaming Gehenna of ghastly death. They advanced with no protection on either side, through 250 yards of open ground with four belts of barbed wire waiting at the other side, through a withering and lethal barrage of murderous shelling. It was there the young men from beloved towns, placid little outports, loving and lowly homes laid down their lives. I ponder today the inexpressible loss and sorrow on each succeeding July 1 memorial in St. John's. I can see in memory a fourtimes bereaved mother, aged and unsteady, whose wreath a young soldier helped her carry to the base of the monument. The emotion and trauma assails me again as I write after 70 years since I saw it first, and perhaps 20 years since I saw it last. How is it that floating through my ponderings comes the sound of a tenor horn playing the melody of the old hymn tune Boston? The corps at St. John's met together for the holiness meeting on the Sunday nearest to July 1 and the bands united in those moving moments of memory. Salvationisc war veterans, joined by youthful movements of scouts, guides and other units, formed ranks to hear the military command of Bandmaster C.O. Butler. They paraded to the Sergeants Memorial first, there to join with bands and groups from all churches for the grand parade to the Newfoundland War Memorial. We had a march called The Boston March in which the horns were given the melody in the middle section. I shall never forget as we arrived at the Sergeants Memorial, where many of the parade units had already assembled, and marched into our position, the horn section was playing Boston. I cannot explain, although I recall it so vividly, why a tremor of spiritual excitement swept over me. I associated what I was playing with the familiar words, "Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a present far too small." John Oxenham wrote for a plaque on far away Beaumont Hamel the words: "Tread softly here! Go reverently and slow! Yea let your soul go down upon its knees." We were there to honour the sacrificed men of battle. I think the realization that our band also paid tribute to the sacrificed Son of God added a special and holy dimension to that day for me. wc 2002 North American Indigenous Games - July 25-August 4, Winnipeg The Salvation Army is participating by serving food to athletes at Red River community College. Other evangelistic ministries are planned including street ministries, praise and worship centres, cultural dance, theatre and prayer walks.

Tributes WINDSOR, Ont-Helen Hill and husband, Keith, came to the Army at South Windsor Citadel. After Keith's death, Helen continued to attend faithfully, despite being confined to a wheelchair. A member of the home league, over-sixty club and women's Bible study group, Helen had a ministry of sending handwritten cards to people during illness or bereavement, although she had a disability in her fingers. Her children and grandchildren always made it possible for her to attend the meetings she loved so much. Helen had a radiant smile and a quiet, caring attitude, never complaining of her own disabilities. She leaves seven loving children, many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and a large circle of friends. VANCOUVER-Mrs Brigadier Bessie (Smith) Pamplin, born in the U.S.A., was one of seven children who moved with their parents to Saskatchewan in the early 1930s. A visit, practical help and an invitation to the corps from the local corps officer led to five of the children becoming officers. Bessie was commissioned in 1938 as an Enthusiast and served in corps in Manitoba. Married to Bill in 1945, they served in corps in western Canada, men's social services and seniors' homes, before their retirement in 1980. Known for her love of people and willingness to serve the Lord wherever she was needed, Bessie is survived by husband, Brigadier Bill Pamplin; brothers Brigadier Tom (Sylvia) Smith and Major Charley (Mildred) Smith; sisters Mrs Brigadier Mabel Jackson and Mrs Brigadier Elsie Weddell. WINDSOR, Ont-Alice Godin, a petite lady with a big heart, came to the Army at the Partington Avenue Corps (Windsor) and later attended South Windsor Citadel. Originally from Quebec, she learned English slowly but her actions communicated her loving Christian spirit immediately. Active in the home league and over-sixty club, Alice found pleasure helping in the kitchen and was a blessing to many through her behind-the-scenes manner and acts of kindness. Alice never took for granted the kindnesses done for her. Predeceased by one son, she leaves a loving family of six children, many grandchildren and friends. HAMPDEN, Nfld.-James Warren, well known in his community, was a soldier for many years and carried the Army flag proudly until ill health prevented him. "Uncle Jim" took care of his corps officers, ensuring they were comfortable, especially in earlier years when times were more difficult. His favourite chorus was I've got glory in my soul and his face showed that glory. He leaves wife, Stella, and daughters Ruby, Edna, Marina and Linda. ii!)~ i)DJRP§ .,t'hl_~l~ll V ~R§AJRY Port Alberni, e.c.

Born of officer parents in Calgary, Bob accepted Christ at age nine and became active in all facets of Army ministry. He entered the Pioneer Session and was commissioned in 1959. In 1961, he married Lieutenant Ethel Pitcher, and together they served in various appointments. Bob was loved and respected for his administrative skills and caring pastoral ministry. Through 23 years of corps leadership and divisional and territorial administration, he was noted as a leader of high integrity and deep compassion. During the past two and a half years, as he battled with leukemia, his courage, optimism and unwavering faith were an example and encouragement to those with whom he came in contact. A service of celebration was held at Agincourt CC, Toronto. Colonel Linda Bond officiated, assisted by Captain Stephen Sears. Family tributes were given by son, Kevin, and General Bramwell Tillsley (Rtd). Major Andy Barry sang It is well with my soul and prayer was offered by Commissioner Arthur Pitcher. The large number of friends and colleagues present bore testimony to the respect and esteem in which the colonel was held. He is lovingly remembered by wife, Ethel, sons Captain Brian (Julie), Phil (Joy), Kevin (Sheryl); grandchildren Jennifer, Jonathan, Brittany, Leyanna, Marcus, Jacob and Peyton; and many relatives and friends. PICTON, Ont-Daniel Earl (Bud) Broughton, born in southwestern Ontario, left school early to go out to work. At 19, he married Emma McGregor. Bud enlisted in the army and served overseas for six years, returning to Canada in poor health. He worked hard to rebuild his life and was employed by the Toronto Transit Commission, first on the track crew, then as a collector. Retiring after 40 years, Bud moved to Prince Edward County, Ont. He was enrolled as a soldier in 1983 and became a member of the LOM, then CCM. Bud will be missed by daughter, Sandra; grandson, Adam; and the many people he touched with his gentle ways and kind personality. GRAND BANK, Nfld.-Alice Forsey, Grand Bank's oldest resident and number one soldier, was converted as a young child and enrolled in 1922. A Sunday school teacher and cradle roll sergeant, Alice was a home league member from its beginning in the town, serving as treasurer, then secretary. Husband, Joshua, predeceased her in 1995. She is lovingly remembered by children Charlie (Ernie), Clarence (Rhoda), Georgie (Max) Rowsell, Major Anne (Hayward) Noseworthy; 1 O grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.

Southern Territory has produced what is believed to be the first Salvation Army DVD program, Helping Tomorrow, Today. The 11-minute snapshot begins with a reference to General William Booth, first General and co-founder of The Salvation Army, What follows are glimpses into the Army's many areas of ministry, starting with the Army as a place of worship, and moving on to its social programs and disaster services. The program is designed for educational use in soldiership classes, employee orientations, advisory boards, women's auxiliaries, one-on-one donor presentations and many other community applications. The program is also available on VHS. The DVD version carries a bonus music video of Salvation Army disaster services at work at the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Contact the U.S.A.
