Notes
The Church Army was founded in 1882 through the work of Wilson Carlile, a curate in fashionable Kensington who began holding open-air meetings to win working men and women for Christ. His concern was with the underprivileged often overlooked by the Church at that time, and his policy was to reach people by training and using lay people to act as evangelists. The Gazette, which was mainly sold in pubs, was used as a means of telling men and women about the Gospel and informing them of the society's work and the movement of officers.
This collection provides valuable information of living conditions in the nineteenth and early twentieth Centuries. As part of it's work for the poor the Church Army was responsible for organising emigration before the First World War – mostly to Canada, and also some to the United States. Details of this work are included in the Gazette, along with those of all its other work for social welfare.
