About This Book

The author provides a field-based study of the Salvation Army's social and trade activities, tracing how these initiatives differentiated from spiritual work and formed distinct departments: industrial operations, hotels and lodging houses, farm colonies, slum visitation, and rescue services. Based on firsthand observation of institutions and colonies in Britain and the United States, the study outlines administrative organization, program types, and practical methods for relief, rehabilitation, and employment. Each chapter examines a department's structure, practices, and difficulties, and the conclusion synthesizes smaller features and the movement's systematic approach to shelter, labor, and social care for marginalized urban populations.
