Previous experience had convinced him that the moral See also:condition of the lowest classes of the See also:people called for new and aggressive See also:action on the See also:part of the Church, and that this See also:work was most effectively done by laymen and women of the same class as those whom it was desired to See also:touch.

Working men are trained as evangelists, and working women as mission sisters, and are supplied to the See also:clergy. The men evangelists have to pass an examination by the arch-See also:deacon of See also:Middlesex, and are then (since 1896) admitted by the See also:bishop of London as " See also:lay evangelists in the Church " ; the mission sisters must likewise pass an examination by the diocesan inspector of See also:schools. All Church Army workers (of whom there are over 1800 of one See also:kind and another) are entirely under the See also:control of the See also:incumbent of the See also:parish to which they are sent. They never go to a parish unless invited, nor stay when asked to go by the parish See also:priest. Officers and sisters are paid a limited sum for their services either by the See also:vicar or by voluntary See also:local contributions. Church Army mission and colportage vans circulate throughout the See also:country parishes, if desired, with

Missions are also held in prisons and workhouses, at the invitation of the authorities. In 1888 (before the similar work of the Salvation Army was inaugurated) the Church Army established labour homes in London and elsewhere, with the See also:object of giving a fresh start in See also:life " to the outcast and destitute. These homes See also:deal with the outcast and destitute in a See also:plain, straightforward way. They demand that the persons should show a See also:desire for See also:amendment; they subject them to See also:firm discipline, and give them hard work; they give them decent clothes, and strive to win them to a See also:Christian life.
