divisions from the Corps
to the Command, was delegated to an officer who had sole charge, and
who was responsible to the officer above him. For example, the United
States, at present, is divided into two Commands; the first extending
from New York to Chicago; the second from Chicago to the Pacific Coast.
The first Command has six Provinces; the second, four. Each Province has
from three to nine Divisions, and each Division contains a number of
Corps. Thus, while each Corps is complete in itself, the general
administration is very highly centralized; so much so, that an order
from General Booth at the National Headquarters, London, England, must
be obeyed by every Corps in the world.

While the organization of the Spiritual Department was taking place in
this manner, the Social Work was assuming large proportions, and
differentiating itself. Visitation in the lower parts of the cities was
organized into a regular department of Slum Work, called the Slum
Department, with a specialized corps of officers. Work among fallen
women was instituted as the Rescue Department, with its rescue homes and
trained workers. The establishment of hotels and lunch counters for both
men and women became finally what is now the Social Department. The wood
yards and small factories, together with the salvage depots and cheap
stores, were organized into the Industrial Department. Work among the
children resulted in the establishment of kindergartens and orphanages.
The colonization enterprise took root, and was divided into the
industrial colonies and farm colonies. Thus, we have here a
differentiation of the original Social Department into six distinct
divisions, which we shall consider separately in this treatise. As these
lines of work advanced, although each had its special group of workers,
it was natural that the work should follow the administrative system of
Commands, Provinces, Divisions and Corps, which had already been marked
out in the Spiritual Department.

The third primary division, that of trade, has had some interesting
developments. There is, for example, the trade carried on in articles
necessary to the members of the Army themselves, and which they cannot
conveniently obtain in the open market, such as uniforms, badges, books
and musical instruments. The Reliance Trading Company, for instance, was
incorporated in 1902, under the laws of the State of New Jersey. This
company owns and publishes the "War Cry," the official ga
