tributed. Salvationists will be asked
to wear this, in order to provide a
contact and an opening for conver-
sation with those of their daily ac-
quaintance. Some will no doubt be
tempted to shy away from this posi-
tive acceptance of a part in the pro-
gramme, but it will afford a worth-
while challenge.

The ultimate outcome of the cam-
paign will be strengthened immeas-
urably in-as-much as a majority of
the soldiery will carry this positive
witness into their every day voca-

THERE can be no more arresting
thought than that which heralds
the impending spiritual campaign
of The Salvation Army, GOD
SEEKS YOU. Such a thought has
been the motivating force behind
many of the great writings in the
world of literature. Francis Thomp-
son, in his masterful poem, The
Hound of Heaven, caught the spirit
of this persistent, seeking God. Holy
Writ is filled with references to the
desire of God that man should be
wholly His. The Apostle Peter
states, "The Lord . . . . is not willing
that any should perish, but that all
should come to repentance."

But man is a creature of self-will,
being allowed by God to choose his
own course of action, and with it the
ultimate results of that choice. Thus
it becomes necessary for man to be
contacted, to be brought face to face
with eternal issues by his fellow
man. The Apostle Paul says, "'How
then shall they call on him in whom
they have not believed, and how
shall they believe in him of whom
they have not heard and how
shall they hear without a preacher?"
(Rom. 10:14).

Two-fold Challenge
The challenge of this crusade
therefore is two-fold. First, to the
unbelieving comes the definite call
of Christ, "Come unto me, all ye
that labour and are heavy-laden,
and I will give you rest." To the
converted, to the Salvationist must
come the realization that God seeks
you, to be a LIVING LINK in the
chain of evangelical effort forged
across this territory, to bind the
wayward ones to the Cross of
Christ.

Many ingredients must be added
to temper the steel of human ex-
perience that will go into this vast
chain. The initial emphasis must be
on the personal relationship of the
Christian with God through prayer.
Salvationists are to be urged to pray
in an organized way, in half-nights
of prayer, in days spent totally be-
fore the Throne of Grace. But
organization alone cannot suffice; it
must be augmented by the private
daily concern of each comrade, made
manifest in personal petitions for
the success of the total venture.

Pointless prayer wil be powerless,
and so to give direction in this
regard, a contact list will be ac-

JEHOVAH'S

LOVE

FOR THE

WORLD

Jesus told a re-
ligious leader of
His day — Nico-
demus — that
His Father, God,
"so loved the
world that He
gave His only
begotten Son,
that whosoever
believeth in Him
should not
perish but have
everlasting life."
In the Army's
fall and winter
campaign, this
thought will be
stressed In 400
corps and 100
institutions, and
at innumerable
open-air meet-
ings. May there
be a glad union
of the seeking
Saviour and the
penitent sinner.

cumulated, upon which will be
placed those who are on the fringe
of Army activity, but whose heart
has not yet been given to Christ.
Added to this will be the names of
local characters, those whose con-
version, especially in small areas,
would influence a great many more
for Christ's Kingdom. These will be
the initial target of an intensified
effort, and their salvation will be
diligently sought.

Organized Visitation

Visitation of these comrades will
be organized, so that the prayers
and the list can have a common
meeting ground. The apostle James
records "Faith Without works is
dead," and so an earnest effort will
be made through personal evan-
gelism to bring the unsaved into con-
tact with Christ and Christian
activity.

Personal identification will be re-
quired, for it is planned that a but-
ton, upon which is placed the slogan
words, GOD SEEKS YOU will be dis-

will depend upon the number and
calibre of those who willingly be-
come LIVING LINKS. The crusade
is geared to the personal level,
primarily, so that all Salvationists
may participate. It will demand
much personal preparation, which
can be commenced now. Thought
can be given to the names to be
placed on the contact list. The more
extensive the list, the greater will
be the possibility of success. The
inner preparing of the heart and
mind, to be used by God will
greatly increase the ultimate bene-
fits that will acrue to both corps and
soldier.

The success of the venture is to
be measured in the increase in the
chain, for it is hoped that each con-
tact can be forged as an additional
LIVING LINK. The campaign is to
run from September 1957, to Easter
1958 and throughout this period the
all-important fact will be empha-
sized, GOD SEEKS YOU!

tions. During election campaigns,
visits of royalty and other outstand-
ing events, hundreds, yea thousands
of people willingly identify them-
selves by the wearing of the neces-
sary badge. How much more will-
ingly should we identify ourselves
with a crusade which seeks to im-
press upon our fellow-man the in-
sistent claims of a loving God! What
a thrill can come to a Christian, who
through such contacts, can lead men
and women to a saving knowledge
of sins forgiven!

Every corps will thus become the
centre of evangelism for that area.
From its confines will fan out en-
thusiastic Salvationists, their hearts
burdened for the souls of men, their
hands bearing the names of those
whose needs have been the topic of
much prayer. The compulsion for
the labour is the conviction that God
seeks the lost, that He uses human
instrumentality to further His ends,
and it is truly His work that we do.

The extent of the chain, the
strength and its ultimate usefulness

HOW MUCH IS A BILLION?

F decimal money, a billion is a
thousand million. If you had a
billion single dollar bills and desired
to count them it would require over
thirty-one years to do it, counting
at the rate of one a second, twenty-
four hours a day!

If a generous billionaire wished
to give away $10,000 every day, he
would have to live more than 273
years to accomplish it!

If he offered the entire billion at
once in exchange for the salvation
of God, it would be refused, as was
Simon the sorcerer's proposition.

The apostle Peter said to him,
"Thy money perish with thee, be-
cause thou hast thought that the
gift of God may be purchased with
money."

What dollars cannot do — even
a billion of them — faith in Christ
can do. "For God so loved the
world, that He gave His only begot-
ten Son, that whosoever believeth
in Him should not perish, but have
everlasting life. For God sent not
His Son into the world to condemn
the world; but that the world
through Him might be saved."

Ever since the death and resur-
rection of the Lord Jesus eternal
life is the free gift of God. (Romans
6:23) Receive eternal life as a gift
from Him — not a purchase — then
whatever money is used to spread
the Gospel of Christ, shall be
rewarded.

The Lord Jesus Christ is worth
spending a billion on — if one has
it!

FOREVER DEVOTED TO CHRIST

THERE was once a Roman patri-
cian girl of high birth and fin-
ished culture. "No one," she said,
"shall ever win my hand, unless he
gives me proof that he would die
for me." Years passed, and one day,
in one of the Roman streets, she
heard an outcast Christian speaking
of his Lord. With amazement break-
ing on her soul, she exclaimed:
"Here is One who has died for me;
to Him alone shall my heart's love
be devoted forever."

MY PRAYER

I WOULD have faith that will not let
Thee go,
But holds Thee fast and claims Thy grace

as mine
That knows no height of power, no depth

of woe
Can separate me from Thy love divine.

1 would have courage for each trying

day,
To keep me in the path of duty plain;
That from my cross I may not turn away
And follow foolish paths of worldly gain.

So fill my heart and richly overflow
That I may love my neighbour, and that

Through me, the saving love of Christ

God's Strength -

Our Weakness !

DURING the time Noah was
building the ark, he was very
much in the minority — but he won!

When Joseph was sold into Egypt
by his brothers, he was in a decided
minority — but he won.

When Gideon and his 300 follow-
ers, with their broken pitchers and
lamps, put the Midianites to flight,
they were in an insignificant minor-
ity — but they won.

When Elijah prayed down fire
from Heaven and put the prophets
of Baal to shame, he was in a not-
able minority — but he won.

When David, ridiculed by his
brothers, went out to meet Goliath,
in size he was in a decided minority
— but he won.

When Martin Luther nailed his
theses on the door of the cathedral,
he was a lonesome minority — but he
won.

When Jesus Christ was crucified
by the Roman soldiers, He was a
conspicuous minority — but He won!

The best thing's are nearest: breath
in your nostrils, light in your
eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at
your hand, the path of God just be-
fore you. Then do not grasp at the
stars, but do life's plain, common
work as it comes, certain that daily
duties and daily bread are the
sweetest things of life.

Diligent Study Unearths Limitless Treasures

By ALFRED St. LAURENT, Megantic, Quebec.

MOST of us are aware that the
Bible far outsells the "best
sellers," and has been translated in-
to more than 900 languages and
dialects. It has put its stamp on our
literature and laws; our morals and
civilization. In spite of all these
facts, the Bible is not really known
by a large number of people. The
reason for this is two-fold; we do
not read it; and most who read it
do not understand it, for the Bible
requires study. We would do well
to try to find out how we may bet-
ter come to know the Bible.

The first thing to consider is,
"How shall I go about studying the
Bible? How shall I approach it, to
know it, and enjoy it?" Let me sug-
gest the following simple, and I be-
lieve, effective methods:

Find one passage in the Bible that
you hold dear. It may be a
verse, it may be a few verses, it
may be a chapter. Read that passage
over and over until you know it by
heart. Then find out how it came to
be just where it is in the Scripture.
Try to learn all you can about that
passage, and before you know it,
you will find other passages you
like.

Take, for example, the Twenty-
Third Psalm. You probably know
this by heart. Say it over and over to
get its meaning. Who wrote it?
What did it possibly mean to David?
Before long — by dint of using mar-
ginal references if your Bible has
them — it will be taking you over

2 Kings 9: 16-26. "IS IT PEACE? . . .
WHAT HAST THOU TO DO WITH
PEACE?" "There is no peace, saith my
God, to the wicked," but "When a man's
ways please the Lord He maketh even
His enemies to be at peace with him." In
other words, "Mind what you sow, it will
probably grow."

"Peace, perfect peace, by throng-
ing- duties pressed,
To do the will of Jesus, this Is
rest,"

MONDAY—

2 Kings 9: 30-37. "THIS CURSED
WOMAN ... A KING'S DAUGHTER."
Had Jezebel but been a good woman she
could have been a wonderful power for
righteousness. With Elijah's help she

could have blessed and led the people in
God's way. Ahab was a weak man, but
with a good wife he could have been
strong for purity and truth. But instead
Jezebel used her strong will In forcing
the weak to sin and do wrong. So her
punishment was terrible and never for-
gotten. What is your Influence? Is it easy
or difficult for weak people to be pure
and good when they are near to you?

TUESDAY—

2 Kings 11: 1-12. "BE YE WITH THE
KING AS HE OOETH OUT AND
COMETH IN." The sworn bodyguard of
the new king, his honour and person were
to them henceforth sacred. Their duty
was to accompany their Royal Master
withersoever he willed. Have we not
taken a like oath of allegiance to our
Saviour King?

WEDNESDAY—

2 Kings 11: 13-21. "ALL THE PEOPLE
OF THE LAND REJOICED, AND THE
CITY WAS IN QUIET." Great cause had
they for Joy and rest of spirit. Athaliah,
the wicked queen was dead. Jehoash had
been proclaimed king. They had re-
entered into covenant relationship with
Jehovah. The altars and images of Baal
had been thoroughly destroyed. This
national uplift had all come about through
the influence of one good man. Let us,
therefore, be good and do good today.

into the tenth chapter of John,
where Jesus called Himself the Good
Shepherd, and you will have added
another to the choice portions of
Scripture that you love.

Read God's Word and, in reading,
hear God's voice. In other words,
remember that God speaks through
His Book. Therefore, just as you
must get into one attitude of mind
to read a poem, and into another to
read a book on natural history; and
into still another to read a book on
electrical engineering, so you must
get into the right attitude of mind
and heart to get the most out of
the Bible — call it the prayer attitude
if you like. This is God's Book. He
wants to tell you something. We
cannot really appreciate and love
the Book unless we hear God speak-
ing through it, telling us of His love,
His leading, and His plans for us.

Obey The Word

Then, really to appreciate it we
must obey it. I know of a dear old
woman who always reads a chapter
of the Bible the first thing in the
morning. When asked why, she re-
plied that she couldn't do her work
properly without its guidance. That
person has the secret of the real re-
lationship of the Bible to every-day,

common-place routine work.

Just try for one week to return
"a soft answer" for a sharp word,
and see how it works. It will inter-
est you. Or try "bridling your
tongue", as James says, and see how
hard it is to stop gossiping. You may
be surprised but profited.

If we were asked by someone the
reason why we should read and
study the Bible, what would we
say? How poor we would be with-
out its truths. We are tempted, and
we want to resist. How? Science
cannot answer this, but the Bible
does. It tells us of Jesus and of His
ability to help all who come to Him.

Or perhaps a man, who has com-
mitted sin, is filled with remorse.
What can he do? He feels he can
never lift his head again. Science
says, "Well, it is just the natural
process of cause and effect." That
is the bitter truth, but it does not
help. The Bible says, in Christ's
words, "Come unto Me, all ye that
labour and are heavy laden, and I
will give you rest."

Why should we know and love
the Bible? Because it is the one and
only Guide-book to a safe journey
through life, and a safe harbour at
last. No one can afford to be with-
out the Book of books and its
revelation to mankind.

LAMBS WORTH MORE

SUPPOSE that Paul had been
converted at seventy instead of
at twenty-five. There would have
been no Paul in history. There was
a Matthew Henry because he was
converted at nine and not at
seventy; a Dr. Watts because he was
converted at nine and not at sixty;
a Jonathan Edwards because he was
converted at eight and not at eighty;
a Richard Baxter because he was
converted at six and not at sixty.

How much more a soul is worth
that has a lifetime of opportunity
before it than the soul which has
nothing! Lambs are of more worth
than sheep in the realm of souls as
well as in the market-place.

"The man who really wants to do
something finds a way; the other
kind finds an excuse."

BALANCING THE FOOD BUDGET

With Skill And Safety To Health

THERE are some critics who say
that when a woman starts to
economize her first impulse is to cut
her food expenditures. Possibly this
is because such a high percentage of
the family income must be spent for
food and because food buying must
be done practically every day.

In practising food economy the
housewife's aim is to cut money
cpsts without lowering the nutri-
tional value of the meals she serves.
Since most of the basic nutritional
essentials occur in numbers of foods,
substitution of cheaper foods is
often possible.

Ideas For Reducing Costs

The household buyer can reduce
the costs of foods by observance of
a few simple rules:

1 . Read the labels on all food con-
tainers — bottles, tins, packages — to
find out how much and what grade
of foods they contain.

2. Usually the larger package will
offer you more for your dollar than
the smaller one, while goods in bulk
are likely to be cheaper per pound
than those in a package. Salt sold in
bags is cheaper than that in cartons.

3. If the larger quantities can be
kept from spoiling, it is economical
to buy by the dozen.

4. The standard grades of canned
foods are perfectly satisfactory for
most purposes. Use fancy or choice
grades only when there is a special
reason to present a fine appearance.

5. Cold storage eggs are good for
cooking, and purchases of pullet
eggs at some seasons will mean
many pennies saved with little loss
in nutrients for each egg served.

6. Dried fruits, properly cooked,
are just as palatable as and much
cheaper than the canned products.

7. All of our root vegetables and
some others like cabbage can be
stored for winter use. The winter's
supply can be bought to good ad-
vantage in the autumn. Only in ex-
ceptional cases can the use of can-
ned carrots in the winter time be
justified.

8. Buying fruits and vegetables in
season is a good policy. If at these
times some can be stored or pre-
served for future use so much the
better.

9. Check prevailing meat prices,
as well. Sometimes one kind of meat
is cheaper than another. The
cheaper cuts can be made tender
and palatable when use of fuel for
long cooking does not add to cost.
\/hen buying meat note the propor-
tion of bone and fat. Fat alone can
usually be bougiht more cheaply
and unless the bone is used for coup
stock it may be wasted. If your
family objects to dishes made of
left-overs be careful to buy only
enought for the one meal. Pish, eggs
and cheese can often be used as

PAGE FOUR

economical substitutes for meat.

10. If meals are planned for a
number of days, or even a week at
a time, food may be used more effi-
ciently and shopping time may be
cut down.

H. Prepared foods, such as
bakery products and cooked meats
are more expensive than similar
foods prepared at home.

12. While the small packages of
processed cheese are easy to keep,

I HAD occasion to pay an unex-
pected call on a business woman
in her apartment. For the last ten
years she has lived alone. My call,
unavoidably, was at an awkward
hour. She 'was just about to serve
her supper, and the picture could
not have been more attractive.

On one-half of the small dining
table an immaculate, pink-bordered
cloth was spread, and silver and a
linen napkin were precisely placed.
A shining silver cruet, one or two
small dishes and a rose in a tiny
vase completed the setting.

If an invited guest had been ex-
pected, the preparations could not
have been more meticulous. Though
"just for herself," there was no sit-
ting down at an unprepared table.
She treated herself with the respect
that she would have given to a
guest. The one-room apartment, one
could feel "without looking," was
cared for in keeping. Yet this lady
all day is closely occupied with a
demanding and difficult job outside.

I was reminded of a never-to-be
forgotten visit, on Army service, we
once paid to Bermuda. We were en-
tertained in the almost Spartan
home of Dr. Peckover, minister of
Hamilton's old Presbyterian Church.
One very young maid helped Mrs.
Peckover in her rather heavy re-
sponsibilities. Her hospitable home
at times was a place of much com-
ing and going, and, though loving
attention was given to the needs
and troubles of her husband's con-
gregation, no smallest detail, which
made their home such a place of

sweet comfort, was left undone.
Every meal was so faultlessly
served, down to a violet or rose
petal floating in the finger bowls,
that Queen Mary could have drop-
ped in unannounced without any
change having to be made. The dear
doctor, full of funny stories and the
joy of life, however, was slightly
casual in his observance of the for-
malities. It took Mrs. Peckover's un-
failing, "Papa, the door," as we left

it's more economical to buy cheese
cut from the large mould. It will
keep for a long time if wrapped in a
cloth wrung out in vinegar. When it
gets dry it may be grated for use in
cooking.

13. Sandwich spreads made at
home are cheaper than the com-
mercially prepared varieties.

14. Dried skim milk substituted
for fluid milk in scalloped dishes,
soups, sauces and puddings can help
to reduce the milk bill.

15. Dripping can be substituted
for other shortenings in many rec-
ipes, such as gingerbread, spice
cakes and cookies, peanut butter
cookies. Some fats need to be de-
flavourized before being used in
milder flavoured recipes while the
harder fats should be combined with
a soft fat to produce a workable
product.

GOD IS IN EVERY TOMORROW

GOD is in every tomorrow,
Therefore I live for today,
Certain of finding at sunrise,

Guidance and strength for the way
Power for each moment of weakness,

Hope for each moment of pain,
Comfort for every sorrow,
Sunshine and joy after rain.

God is in every tomorrow,

Planning for you and for me;
E'en in the dark will I follow,

Trust where my eyes cannot see
Stilled by His promise of blessing,

Soothed by the touch of His hand,
Confident in His protection,

Knowing my life-path is planned.

God is in every tomorrow,

Life with its changes may come,
He is behind and before me,

While in the distance shines home!
Home — where no thought of tomorrow

Ever can shadow my brow,
Home — in the presence of Jesus,

Through all eternity — NOW!

the dinner table to remind him of
his duty to the ladies.

So perfect was the machinery of
that home that at last, in wonder,
I said to our hostess, "However have
you succeeded in keeping up your
standards all these years?"

Mrs. Peckover, who was then an
aging woman, replied, "We were for
fifteen years of our young lives in
Jamaica, and had I not remembered
and striven to maintain the stand-
ards of my mother's home, I early
saw that I could easily have lived on
the level of the natives and in so
doing would have forfeited both my
own self-respect and my influence
on our flock."

Guarded As Sacred

Kin of an old family of Wisbech
in England, where for long Lady
Peckover had been the loved and
honoured treasurer of The Salvation
Army corps, the Peckovers had pre-
served the graces and manners of
life in the ancient manor house
where many retainers had served
them. Now in the simplicity of a
near-to-missionary manse, those
standards were still held dear and
guarded as sacred.

Today thousands of women live
alone, in itself a temptation to live
carelessly, their colourful china left
to gather dust in a cupboard, silver
wrapped away, linen piled in a
drawer — all to wait the rare coming
of a guest.

Have you by any chance allowed
a careless way of life to creep upon
you? Then once again give yourself
the pleasure of using your posses-
sions and treating yourself as your
own guest. Your old habit will re-
assert itself and soon become sec-
ond nature.

Sometimes it seems impossible to
believe that in all life, to lower the
most simple standard is dangerous
and has a way of eating first into
the fabric of individual character,
then into the life of the home, and
at last imperils the very character
of the nation. Of this inescapable
truth does not all history warn us?

THE WAR CRY

THE UNFAILING ONE

THE little sharp vexations,
And the briars that catch and
fret,
Why not take all to the Helper
Who has never failed us yet?

Tell Him about the heartache
And tell Him the longings, too;

Tell Him the baffled purpose
When we scarce know what
to do.

Then leaving all our weakness
With the One divinely strong,

Forget that we bore the burden,
And carry away the song.

feelings of ours! Get us into no end
of trouble, and will make life most
miserable if they get the upper
hand.

The psychologists doubtless have
a long and technical name for the
same thing, but "feelings" is the
common name understood by all.
For perhaps not one of us has es-
caped difficulty with feelings — our
own or those of another person.

They are fond of getting mixed
up with our Christian faith and sal-
vation too. In fact, feelings have de-
stroyed the faith of some persons.
They certainly will try to destroy
the joy of our salvation just as soon
as possible after we have accepted
Jesus as our Saviour — if we give
them the slightest chance.

"I'm so miserable!" complained
Madge, two days after her conver-
sion. "I feel just terrible! Oh, and
I'm so disappointed too. I was so
happy the night I accepted Jesus as
my Saviour! I thought all my
troubles were over. But, dear me,
the whole thing has slipped away —
and I don't feel one bit different
than I did before I went to the ser-
vices! I guess it's just no use trying.
I wasn't cut out to be a Christian."

Madge's experience was by no
means exceptional. Thousands of
other persons have had similar

others, our salvation does not de
pend upon our own "feelings"
(compare Eph. 2:8, 9). If we just
stop to think a bit, we shall readily
see that anyone's "feelings" change
constantly. They change whetner
we profess Christianity or not. They
change about other things, too; but
the Devil does not bother to remind
us of those instances. Who hasn't
changed his "feelings" about poli-
tics, the weather, friendship with
certain persons, the state of the na-
tion, and a host of other things?
Why, then, be surprised if our feel-
ings change concerning religion,
salvation, and things of that nature?
The Lord is ever gracious. He
wants His beloved to be happy. He
knows that we can never be truly
happy while resting on our feelings,
because they are so undependable
and changeable. Therefore, if we
persist in resting upon feelings, the
Lord will see fit to withdraw them,
so that we may learn to rest on
Him. This process often causes us
pain. We do not like it. But it is
necessary at times to teach us a
much-needed lesson, even to save
our faith.

the Metropolitan Toronto Divi-
sion gathered at this Lake Simcoe
resort centre. General supervision
was assumed by the Divisional
Young People's Secretary and Mrs.
Major D. Sharp, with the Divisional
Commander and Mrs. Lt.-Colonel R.
Gage present for the evenings and
on the week-ends.

The actual Bible study was con-
ducted by Sr.-Captain C. Sipley, of
Brooklyn Citadel, N.Y. For the first
four days, the topic was, "What we
are as Christians" and centred
around the statements of Christ con-
cerning, "Ye are the salt of the
earth;" "Ye are the light of the
world," etc. Special camp fires were
arranged for evening enjoyment and
Christian fellowship.

The first Sunday's meetings were
conducted by the Training Principal
and Mrs. Lt.-Colonel W. Rich,
assisted by members of the training
staff. They featured the voyage of
life, and used a model ship on the
platform of the auditorium.

Throughout the following week, a
larger enrolment was present and
the Bible series highlighted the
"Symbols of the Holy Spirit." In the
final lesson of the week, one young

THELMA RICHARDSON, White Hill,
Bermuda, is a member of a Salvationist
family and was converted at eight years
of age. She was a good witness for
Christ at high school, and obtained a
teacher's training scholarship in Hamil-
ton, Ont., for additional schooling in
Canada. She is now a public school
teacher and is looking forward to full-
time service for God.

DONALD RITSON, Niagara Falls, Ont., is
of Salvation Army parentage, and was
converted In his early teens. He serves in
the corps as a bandsman, songster, com-
pany guard and corps treasurer. He is
now to fulfill his life's ambition as he
enters full-time service.

MRS. MYRNA RITSON, Niagara Falls,
Ont., was born in the United States, and
is also of Army parentage. She has been
an active Salvationist since early girlhood.
The Ritsons have one child.

ROGER ROOKS, Vermilion, Alta., was
born and reared on a farm in Saskat-
chewan. When the family located itself
in Vermilion, Roger attended the Army,
and was converted. He is dominated by a
love for his Bible, and for souls. He has
actively witnessed for Christ In school,
taverns and at work, and has been
instrumental in winning a number for
Christ. God has been definitely leading
and preparing him for officership.

MARGARET CHASE, Sackville, N.B.,
was converted at the age of nine in an
Army meeting. She was later enrolled as
a soldier, is a graduate corps cadet,
and had the privilege of attending the
International Corps Cadet Congress. She
has felt, from an early age, the call of
God for full-time service, and this is now
being realized as she enters training for
officership.

SPECIAL NOTICE
All correspondence for the evening

source of rich blessing.

Two special evenings had been
arranged and the guests were the
Chief Secretary, Colonel C. Wise-
man, and Major C. Stewart of Strat-
ford, Ont. Colonel Wiseman showed
movies and slides of Army activity
across Canada, and ended up with
a talk on the Dead Sea scrolls.
Major Stewart, who has spent a
period on missionary service, en-
titled his evening, 'With The Salva-
tion Army in East Africa." He had
synchronized a tape recording to his
movies, giving the effect of a sound
production. It proved to be an out-
standing success.

The final Sunday was under the
direction of Sr.-Captain and Mrs.
Sipley. Very fine meetings were
held, with one seeker in the holiness
meeting, and a number of young
people accepting the challenge of
Christ in the evening.

(Continued from column 2)

Our feelings are greatly affect-
ed by the condition of our physical
health. Let us never forget that fact.
Satan will try to blind us to it. He
wants us to think that we have sin-
ned, or that we just aren't fit sub-
jects for salvation! When doubt, un-
happiness and perplexity come — as
they do to all — Satan is quick to
take advantage of our weakened
condition. The cure is to turn quick-
ly to God's unfailing Word, read His
Truth, and the mists will clear
shortly.

We must remember that Satan is
real, that he is alert, on the job,
and the deadly foe of every person
who professes to follow and love
and serve the Lord Jesus. Satan is
out to discredit our witness. He will
use any tactics that will serve to
trip us up. He will go to any length
to spoil our joy in the Lord, make
us downcast, disheartened, discon-
solate, discouraged. In such moods,
he can win out. We may not remain
there.

Faith In Christ

Walking by faith, instead of by
feelings, is the only safe course. But
our faith must be true faith in
Christ, not in man, ourselves, feel-
ings, or anything else.

"These things have I written unto
you that believe on the Name of the
Son of God; that ye may know that
ye have eternal life, and that ye
may believe on the Name of the
Son of God" (I John 5:13).

WEDDING AT SANTA FE

A Drunkard Is Gloriously Saved

By CAPTAIN DAN NEUSCH

SINCE boyhood, Don Ramon
Frias had been used to working
from morning till night to help
his family. They lived together in a
muddy hut, like thousands of other
people in the city of Santa Fe, Ar-
gentina, where, as in many other
places in the New World, the primi-
tive homes of the poor contrast
sadly with luxurious modern build-
ings.

While still young he began drink-
ing spirits, and the habit grew. The
day came when he could no longer
control his thirst. Soon his only am-
bition was to drink and drink. Yet,
in spite of his weakness, he still
preserved some self-respect. He de-
cided that he would not go to pub-
lic-houses to become a spectacle for
other people. Together with his
friends he shut himself away in his
little rancho and drank until they
all were entirely incapable. Some-
times the chosen place for the orgy
was somebody else's hut, and when
it was over Frias would make his
way to his own abode.

One day Don Ramon noted that
his sight was failing him. He visited
the doctor, and the verdict left no
doubt at all about the source of his
disease. To preserve his sight he
must give up drinking at once. Frias
tried to sober up, but again and
again he failed. Shortly afterwards
he gave up all hope of success and
eventually became totally blind. Yet
he would not give up the drinking
sessions with his friends.

It was late one night, after one of
the sessions, that Don Ramon made
his way through the dark and
deserted streets to his rancho. So
drunk was he that he failed to find

FROM DAWN TO DUSK

HOW'S this for illustrating the
"extra mile" spirit? Listen to
Sr.-Captain Laura Dutton, of
Chikankata, Northern Rhodesia: "In
addition to my work on the teacher
training I am responsible for the
corps cadet brigade, which is thirty
strong. The young folk are very
keen on taking part in meetings and
we sometimes go out on Sunday
afternoons to the neighbouring vil-
lages or to the leprosy settlement.

"As well as corps cadets we have
scouts and guides, a drama club, a
school choir and soldiers' and
recruits' meetings — so every night
something is going on here."

Now, if that can be done in a
missionary centre where, through
sheer necessity, there is understaf-
ftng and overworking, what could be
done if you . . . ?

We leave you to complete the last
line!

unpaved street. When he awoke
next morning, he felt sick in body
and soul, tired of his life of shame

and insobriety. In his helpless con-
dition, he remembered that there
was a Salvation Army outpost in
the neighbourhood. Several times he
had seen the Salvationists in their
open-air meetings and received in-
vitations to attend the inuoor
gatherings, but always he refused
saying that this was not for him.

A child passing his way gave Don
Ramon the necessary directions and
soon he was knocking at the Army's
door. The caretaker of the small
building was a poor, crippled com-
rade but, in spite of his physical de-
formity, his soul was ablaze with
the love of God. Don Ramon told
his sad history, and his anxious
pleas were heard not only by Don
Arturo but also by the angels in
Heaven. The two men knelt and
prayed together; and when they rose
up blind Don Ramon had passed
from spiritual darkness to see the
sweet light of God's love.

With his sober habits and changed
life, Frias began to regain his sight,
till the day arrived when he could
see again. By now he was a Salva-
tion Army soldier and had a Salva-
tionist fiancee.

I had the joy of conducting their
marriage. It was a lovely occasion.
Don Arturo, the crippled comrade
who had led him to the Saviour,
was a witness of the ceremony, ful-
filling the duties of "best-man".
When God sent them a baby girl,
they named her Catherine, after the
Army Mother, for it was at the
Army that Don Ramon had found
salvation and light. I also dedicated
this young life to God, for Don
Ramon wants his daughter to serve
Christ.

A SOUL-SAVING MOVEMENT

THE following is a quotation of the
late Dr. J. M. Nhlapo, the former

editor of a prominent South African

publication:

"The name 'Salvation Army' is
a very big name, signifying a,
great movement whose glorious
object is to make all men and
women true followers of the Man
of Galilee. We are still a long way
from winning all souls in 'all na-
tions' for Him. It therefore be-
hoves us to double, nay treble,
our efforts to fulfil that commis-
sion. You have set yourselves a-
part for a vital task. You have a
right to look to us, your fellow
Christians, not only for prayer for
you but for any other form of co-
operation with you. We are all
called upon to labour together
with our Creator in order to
hasten the arrival of the day
'when the kingdoms of this world
shall become the kingdovis of
God and His Christ'."

STUDENTS IMPRESSED

WHEN the Territorial Commander
and Mrs. Lt.-Commissioner
J. Dent, Indonesia, visited North
Celebes, ten days were spent in
public meetings, home league meet-
ings, officers' meetings and other
activities. Particularly interesting
was the opportunity accorded to
the Commissioner of addressing 350
high-school students in English,
without translation. The Territorial
Commander was able to talk for
fifty minutes on the work of the
Army as well as dealing plainly
with moral questions and conduct.
For three-quarters of an hour the
students freely asked questions, and
so pleased was the school principal
that he has invited the Commis-
sioner to lecture again when he
next visits North Celebes. The prin-
cipal hopes to gather a thousand
students together for the occasion.

LIGHT IN THE EAST

IMPETUS to the progress of activi-
ties in Korea has been provided
by the showing of Salvation Army
films in several corps. Koreans
never saw the Founder, who was
promoted to Glory only four years
after the Army came to the country,
but something of his spirit was con-
veyed by the film, God's Soldier,
while young Salvationists were led
to consider officership after seeing
Salvation Battle-School.

The first Italian War Cry was
published in 1886. The Italian War
Cry is used extensively now in To-
ronto for contact work amongst the
many immigrants who have recent-
ly come to this country.

THE SILENT WITNESS

SOMETIMES Salvationists should
be seen and not heard. A
young comrade had promised to try
to get the girls in her office to at-
tend a special youth rally, at which
she was to testify. Only one of the
girls agreed to come along — but the
others were not by any means out
of it.

The Salvationist was typing her
talk in the office during the
lunch-hour. Before she had quite
finished she was called out of the
office, and on her return noticed the
girls around her typewriter reading
her testimony. She quietly with-
drew to allow them to finish it un-
disturbed. Later they said, admir-
ingly, "How did you make all that
up?" Perhaps there will one day be
a sequel to this story.

FULL PROGRAMME

WHEN a newly erected hall was
opened at Pyu, in the Toungoo
District (Burma Command') a full
programme of meetings on the Sun-
day followed the Saturday dedica-
tion of the building. A directory class
for children was held at 8 a.m. whilst
comrades held compound (open-
air) meetings resulting in seven
people accepting the invitation to
attend the holiness meeting at
9 a.m. The corps sergeant-major
from Rangoon testified in the Sun-
day's meeting and at the conclusion
there were five seekers. A women's
meeting was held at 3 p.m., a young
people's meeting at 4 p.m. and the
salvation meeting at 5 p.m.

WHO BROUGHT THE GOSPEL?

IT was a Jew who brought the Gos-
pel to Rome; a Roman who took it
to France; a Frenchman who took it
to Scandinavia; a Scandinavian who
took it to Scotland; and Scotsman
who evangelized Ireland; and an
Irishman who made the missionary
conquest of Scotland.

No matter where one's ancestors
lived, they received the Gospel at
the hand of an alien race. And yet
there are some who say they do not
believe in missionary service! ■

The word of the Gospel is now
preached in 103 languages by the
Salvation Army in eighty-five dif-
ferent countries.

THE WAR CRY

GLASS ... A MANY SPLENDOURED THING

Promises A Brighter Future

MUCH of the world of today re-
volves around glass. When we
tumble out of bed and find our
way to the nearby mirror, we look
into glass which throws back a re-
flection — for good or evil. When we
drive to the office or the market, we
look through a wide wrap-around
windshield that has made driving
safer and lessened eye strain. At the
office many of us drink our coffee
from a glass cup and do our work
smoothly on a glass-topped desk
that can't be marred by spills,
scratches or burns.

This is the world of glass which
the average person knows: a win-
dow, a mirror, a table top, a tum-
bler.

A special survey of the distaff
side would turn up other items such
as a bright bracelet, a vase or the
new light-as-air glass curtains and
draperies which require little or no
care at all and seem to wear forever.

Homeowners think of glass as
insulation, in the form of double-
glazed windows that help maintain
even temperatures the year 'round,
as well as the fibre glass lining that
is a weather buffer for house walls
and roofing. The TV set was added
later, but many of us don't realize
that it was the development of a
special gray glass which gives our
picture the sharp contrast of a good
black and white photograph rather
than a mediocre and indistinguish-
able tintype.

Basic To Progress

To the architect, engineer, builder,
scientist and other professionals, the
world of glass holds more splendour
and meaning. It's basic to progress,
an engineering material that can be
as versatile and adaptable as the in-
stallation demands.

If all the predictions for glass be-
come realities, cities visualized for
the future will be gleaming glass
marvels in myriad rainbow hues.
Homes will be cooking with glass
and have windows which will auto-
matically control light and heat
transmission by the very nature of
their chemical composition. Build-
ings will be made of glass from
foundation to finish, for glass can be
as fragile as a spider's web or as
hard and durable as steel.

The amazing and most thought-
provoking feature of man's oldest
known material is that its source of
supply is practically inexhaustible.
The ingredients should continue in
abundant supply longer than the
sagest seer might predict. And if the
proof that archaeologists have dis-
covered in their diggings for lost
civilizations is tangible evidence of
the durability of glass, the products
we use in today's architecture, in-
dustry and home will be the pre-
served relics of the future.

The trend to glass is not a passing
phase. The beginnings of it dip back
5,000 years and can be traced
through various cultures to the
present. It came to America with
the first settlers and held a distinc-
tive place among honoured crafts.

AEGIS

THE aegis was the mantle and
shield of Jupiter. Even the king
of the gods needed protection in his
wars with the Titans. Jupiter lent
the aegis to his daughter Minerva
when she went into battle on the
side of the Greeks during the Tro-
jan war. Homer describes it as a
sort of cloak. It was supposed to
have protective powers since on it
were serpents and the head of the
Gorgon which turned men into
stone if they looked at it.

In modern usage the meaning of
aegis as a shield or protection has
been extended to mean sponsorship
or auspices.

From 1607 to the nineteenth cen-
tury, glass took a turn up and down
the success ladder in America. Due
to the lack of sufficient numbers of
trained craftsmen, successful com-
mercial production of flat glass
could not rival European methods
and production until the latter part
of the last century. However, it was
left to the present century to refine
techniques and developments and
introduce some new ideas that have
revolutionized the world.

The early men of science might
have considered themselves mad to
entertain such a thought as plan-
ning a trip to the moon or making
the sun the source of power that
cooks our food. But many far-
reaching and far-sighted modern
scientists place both in the line of
logical reasoning and occurrence.

Solar Energy Harnessed

The solar furnace, which now is
being used in research to find the
heat-resistant materials needed to
break through the "thermal bar-
rier," may someday provide the
means for putting the energy of the
sun to work in Main Street kitchens.

In the atomic energy and aircraft
fields, the versatility of glass be-
comes more evident. Researchers

and plant workers in atomic pro-
jects are protected from high-level
gamma radiation by thick windows
of glass. When the Atomic Energy
Commission's Savannah River Pro-
ject was constructed, Pittsburgh
Plate Glass Company supplied a
special non-browning glass for ob-
servers' windows which weighed
more than 20,000 pounds each.

During World War II, glass was
at home on land, sea and air — used
in radar screens, control towers,
landing strips and for important
bullet-resisting windshields for the
bombers that invaded enemy shores.
Today, jet fighters, flying at super-
sonic speeds, are glazed with wind-
shields of laminated glass with a
special electro-conducting coating
that prevents icing and fogging and
allows clear vision. A similar glass
is going to sea on huge super car-
riers.

Perhaps more than in any other
field, the weight of glass and its tre-
mendous potential for average
citizens is in the building field.
From narrow slits in the Cape Cod

bungalow, a modern housewife
turns one of her walls to glass with
sliding doors that make the out-
doors an important and integral
part of living. The owner of a small
or large retail business has the open
vision of glass to display merchan-
dise and tempt an interested public.

Durable And Economical

Today's skyscraper uses timeless
glass to bridge the gap between
past, present and the days to come.
Buildings that reach for the sky are
being sheathed with glass. Archi-
tects are finding that ceramic enam-
eled glass is giving the colour they
have always sought to their ageless
designs. And of course, most impor-
tant, the glass is durable and econ-
omical. It will withstand impact,
resist weathering and clean easily.
Colour moves up from its natural
setting to add jewel-like beauty to
the school, the museum, the shop-
ping center and the skyscraper.

Glass is indeed a many splendour-
ed thing that promises a much
brighter and rosier future.

tect workers from atomic radiation while

ments at the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Com-

CARDINAL FEEDS GOLDFISH

SEEING is believing! That is what
Mr. Onnie Baker of Shelby,
North Carolina, always believed
until one warm August day he
glanced at his goldfish pool in the
yard. There was, what appeared to
be to Mr. Baker, a male cardinal
feeding the seven goldfish in the
pool. Mr. Baker was positive bis
eyes were playing tricks on him, or
perhaps, the heat of the day had
been too much for him!

But being the type of man that
doesn't make quick decisions or
judgments, he decided that before
he visited either an eye doctor or
psychiatrist, he would watch an-
other day. In the meantime he did
not mention the incident to anyone.

The following Sunday, because he
decided two could see better than
one, he risked describing what he
had seen to his wife. Mrs. Baker was
the first of many unbelievers. But
Mr. Baker persuaded her to watch
with him and as they waited, the
cardinal returned from a foraging
trip, flew to the top of the five-foot
wire fence that surrounds the pool,
and chirped.

Repeated Feedings

That evidently was the "secret
signal" because the goldfish appear-
ed at the pool's edge and waited ex-
pectantly. The cardinal flitted down
to the edge Of the pool, chirped
again and then moved to a definite
spot and doled out tidbits to the
open-mouthed fish.

When his present supply was ex-
hausted, the cardinal flew away.
The Bakers sat spell-bound, unable
to move. Before Mrs. Baker could
reassure her husband his eye sight
was perfect and the trip to the
psychiatrist was unnecessary, the
cardinal returned from another for-
aging trip.

The Bakers watched the second
performance. The actors followed the
same ritual — the chirp from the
fence by the cardinal; the appear-
ance of the fish on cue ; and then the
return to the same spot by the pool's
edge, where the bird again passed
out the tidbits until his supply was
exhausted.

HISTORIC CAMP GROUNDS: Scene shows a partial view of the crowd addressed by General W. Kitchlng (at right) on

Sunday afternoon at Old Orchard, Maine, U.S.A.

THE GENERAL VISITS NEW ENGLAND

Hallowed Mercy-Seat Scenes At Old Orchard Camp

recent

IN the hallowed grove which is
The Salvation Army camp meet-
ing site in Old Orchard, Me., the
miracle of spiritual birth was
repeated time and time again,
when General and Mrs. Wilfred
Kitching, obviously burdened with a
tremendous sense of message and
mission, were mightily used of God.
Joy was unconflned as 105 seekers
knelt in the sawdust under sentinel
pines and, almost within earshot of
the ocean's pounding surf, cried out
for tidal waves of divine love strong
enough to flood with cleansing, heal-
ing and life-giving power the nar-
row creeks and inlets of their hearts
and lives.

Present on this occasion, so it
seemed, were folk from practically
every state in the Union, as well as
a contingent from, Canada. A few
were from overseas countries. The
challenging and inspiring ministry
of the Army's international leader
evoked wide response and gratitude.
Fellowship was close and creative.
The camp band, a combination of
musicians selected from the New
England States under the direction
of Erik Leidzen, and the camp
chorus, conducted by Bandmaster
Carlson brought blessing. Best of all,
God was in His holy temple reveal-
ing His will, silently but unerringly
laying His finger on hindrances and
obstacles to the life victorious and
beckoning to new and higher
plateaus of spiritual blessedness.

One Significant Word

Supporting General and Mrs. Kit-
ching throughout the week-end
which wrote finis to an eventful ten-
day period were Commissioner and
Mrs. D. McMillan, Commissioner
and Mrs. N. Marshall, Commissioner
and Mrs. W. Booth, Commissioner
J. Allan (R), and other leaders. The
General gave a simple message on
one significant, meaningful word,
the word "Yes." Scarcely had the
appeal been extended before men
and woman said "Yes" to God and
in faith made their way to the
Mercy-Seat. Three of the seekers
were brought by a young boy who
had himself found Christ at the
same spot only a few days earlier.

On this occasion the camp chorus,
assisted by a brass ensemble play-
ing a special arrangement, made a
deep impression by its singing of the
moving ihymn, "How Great Thou
Art" popularized by Beverley Shea
and the 1,500-voice chorus in the
recent Billy Graham Crusade in
Madison Square Garden, New York.

On Saturday evening a treat was
served to an appreciative crowd
when the camp band, aided by the
camp chorus, presented a musical
festival. Led by Erik Leidzen, the
forty-two piece combination offered
a choice programme of "message
music," music which vividly inter-
preted the love of God for sinful
man.

At the very outset the General,
who presided over the first half of
the programme (Commissioner Mar-
shall chaired the latter portion)
made it clear that Salvationist
bandsmen do not play merely to
entertain, but primarily to proclaim
the riches of Christ's redeeming
love. And, as if to add point to the
General's words, each bandsman
and songster, stimulated by the
interest and enthusiasm of the
crowd, offered his best in skill and
service and was obviously greatly
used of God as an avenue of spiri-
tual blessing and refreshment.

A special feature of the evening
was the playing by the band of the
General's latest composition, "Walk-
ing with God," a devotional
selection incorporating such well-
known songs as "When we Walk
with the Lord," "Walk with Me,"
"He walks with Me and He talks
with Me" and "Follow, I will Follow
Thee My Lord." This, led by the
General was most favourably
received.

At the conclusion of the pro-
gramme the crowd stayed to see a
colour film presenting highlights of
the recent International Home Lea-
gue Congress in London, with the
General serving as commentator.

Kindred Spirits

The Sunday morning meeting
with its overwhelming and uplifting
moments of commmunion with

Christ and living and transforming
fellowship with kindred spirits seek-
ing only to know more fully His
way and will for them, was an
occasion which was both sweet and
precious. Commissioner Marshall
presided.

HE NEVER SWERVED

WITH rich and poor, high and low,
William Booth's simplicity of
purpose never changed. Princess
Victoria once asked him for his sig-
nature in an autograph album.
"Saved to Serve"— William Booth,
he wrote when sitting in Bucking-
ham Palace. The next day he got a
message from Queen Alexandra beg-
ging him to write the same in her
book.

"Go for souls and go for the
worst", was one of the General's
favourite mottoes. He had no second
aims, no axe of his own to grind.
Never once did he waver in his pur-
pose, but always worked to one end.
He did not waste time on things
sentimental and often warned his
people against the waste of time.
"Only one life, 'twill soon be past.
Only what's done for Jesus will
last". The truth of these words was
with him all the time.

His practical spirit seemed to
filter through his Army, even to the
little lad who, when asked by his
teacher whether The Salvation
Army administered The Lord's Sup-
per, said, "Please sir, they give poor
children like us farthing break-
fasts!"— From "Dutini" (the late
Mrs Commissioner Eooth-Tucker).

Leading in to the well-fought
prayer battle and contributing much
to the sacred influences of the hour
was the General's message in which
he presented the characteristics of
the man of God. It was a frank and
forthright exposition, drawn from
several Pauline passages and de-
livered with Pauline fervour.

A Sight For Angels

Deeply-moving moments followed
immediately when, acting on the
General's words, seekers from all
parts of the grove made their way
to the Mercy-Seat. It was a sight
which must have made the angels
in Heaven rejoice, a' total of fifty-
five entering into new and breath-
taking relationships with Christ.
One man wept his way to the

THE WAR CRY

IN GOD WE TRUST

HE ALONE SUFFICETH

I WRITE this message in a spirit
of thanksgiving to our Heaven-
ly Father. After forty-seven
years of Salvation Army offi-
cership Mrs. Dibden and I Jook
back rejoicing over His unfail-
ing guidance at all times. We look
forward assured of being within the
will of Him in whom we have put
our trust.

"IN GOD WE TRUST" is the mot-
to inscribed on all coins of the Unit-
ed States of America large enough
to hold the words. The idea origin-
ated with James Pollock, Governor
of Pennsylvania from 1854 to 1857.
During the Civil War he regarded
this recognition of God inscribed on
his country's coinage as a national
duty.

A coin is surely an appropriate
thing on which to find such
poignant words. At sight of coin and
declaration we are compelled to
contemplate what material com-
forts, power and prestige money can
secure for us. Yet we dare not trust
in these temporal possessions, nor
dare we trust in human might or
victory. God alone sufficeth.

Since trust in God is the key-note
of the Christian's life, he must often
choose between God and the world
or God's will and his own.

Proper Emphasis

John Henry Newman, the author
of "Lead, kindly Light," has chal-
lenged us in searching questions:

"Are we tempted to neglect the
worship of God for some temporal
object? This is of the world and not
to be admitted. Are we ridiculed for
our conscientious conduct? This
again is a trial of the world and to
be withstood. Are we tempted to
give too much time to our recrea-
tions: to be idling when we should
be working; reading or talking
when we should be busy in our tem-
poral calling; hoping for impossi-
bilities, or fancying ourselves in
some different state of life from our
own; over-anxious for the good
opinion of others; bent upon getting
the credit of industry, honesty and
prudence?

"All these are temptations of this

world. Are we discontented with
our lot, or are we over-attached to
it, and fretful and despairing when
God recalls the good He has given?
This is to be worldly minded." Dr.
Newman reminds us that worldli-
ness is failure to trust in God and
to rest in the knowledge that His
purposes are quietly being accom-
plished.

None of us has escaped those ex-
periences when, to all outward ap-
pearance. God's will has been ob-
scured. Our newspapers and broad-
casting stations present to us a
chaotic world, a world of discordant
voices in which we must listen more
intently than ever for the voice of
truth that speaks God's will for us.

This state of affairs is not new.
Men have often failed to discern the
redemptive will and purpose of
God. Every time we open our Bible
we have clear evidence that the sins
of some, the folly and stupidity of
others, and the obedience of a min-
ority were all used by God to bring

By The Chief
COMMISSIONER

about the triumphs of His will,
though to men toiling amid tangled
circumstances the final triumph was
not plain.

How poised is he who so sincerely
loves the will of his Heavenly
Father that his desires are God's de-
sires, his paths are God's paths! No
one can fail at times to be distressed
because evil seems to prevail in
some sections of society; but if our
trust is in God we play our part by
doing His will in the task nearest at
hand.

The silkworm cannot wind his
whorled skein — but he can make
silk. We can wind the skein, but
cannot do the silkworm's work. We
cannot settle the world's disputes,
but we can order our own personal
relationships according to His will.

The will of God can be described
as inflexible, unalterable, either by
defiance which holds it from us, or

prayer which draws us to it. But
God's will is too alive and active to
be only so pictured. More truly is it
seen in the leaven working quietly
until all the ingredients surrendered
to it are transformed and fashioned
into the perfect whole.

Surrender to God's will require?
discipline on our part. Gordon
Powell reminds us that "the scientist
must submit to the physical laws of
the universe before he can do any-
thing with them or produce any
great invention. If he decides, for
instance, that the operation of the
law of gravity is inconvenient for
his purposes and proceeds as though
it did not exist he gets nowhere ex-
cept to disaster."

A Man Of Faith

Through our obedience to God's
will He will accomplish in and
through us more than we can ask or
think. Dr. R. J. Campbell, formerly
of the London City Temple, wrote
of William Booth:

"His genius was of the practical
kind, informed by a geniune solici-
tude for the welfare of humanity
and fired by faith in God. One won-
ders what he might have been had
the last factor been omitted from
his experience of life. That he would
still have been a leader of men is

Of The Staff,
EDGAR DIBDEN

indubitable, but that he would have
been their benefactor is less certain.

"The impression he formed upon
me was that the benevolence in his
character was less due to nature
than to grace. He would have suc-
ceeded in any walk of life by his
strength of will and practical in-
sight, but it is quite possible that if
his energies had been turned into
purely business channels he might
have become what the world calls
a hard man.

"That fine head, like Michaelan-
gelo's 'Moses' in its noble outline,
could have crowned a greater fin-
ancier; that mobile face, with its
revelation of high purpose and
brave endeavour, contained sug-
gestions of something not less force-
ful but less exalted. It was well for
the world that the soul of William
Booth was captured by the Spirit of
Christ instead of by mammon."

The destiny of The Salvation
Army was wrapped up in William
Booth's obedience to God. The spirit
surrendered to God's will becomes
like Isaiah's polished shaft used in
battle, finely carved from carefully
chosen timber (Isaiah 49:2). Briga-
dier Lily Sampson has mentioned it
in a poem:

But not for admiration was it
wrought,

Polished and fair,

On a dark battlefield,

Blood-stained, shattered in vic-
tory —

That was its end.

Oh, dare I think Isaiah's words,
Or pray this prayer:
"Make me a polished shaft —
By Thee, great Craftsman, count-
ed fit
For desperate need"?

This is a worthy prayer. Can we
all join in it?

No power can halt the will of
God. How foolish then to fear that
the wrongs of men can frustrate the
Almighty! Rather it is those who
do not align themselves with Him
who meet catastrophe.

None could stay God's hour for
breaking into history and uncover-
ing His glory in the face of Jesus
Christ. Unswerving then must be
our intention to know God's will
and, at whatever cost, to join our
hearts to the victorious One until
the Christian "vision is fulfilled and
time itself with all its companion
dimensions of space shall have a
stop in that far-off divine event to
which the whole creation moves."

LIVED AND DIED WITH IT

I HEARD a mother speaking to her
boy the other day words of truth
and soberness. Her hopeful and
eager son was tempted to run after
certain novelties of doctrine and
practice, and she said 'to him, "What
we have heard from our minister
is enough for me, for it is according
to Scripture. Your father and
mother have lived on this Gospel,
and it has helped them through a
thousand troubles, even to this day;
and your dear old grandfather and
grandmother lived on the same
truth, and died upon it triumphant-
ly; therefore, hold fast by M. We
have tried it 'and iproved it, there-
fore do mot depart from it."

BRIGADIER ETHEL BURNELL

At Verdun, Que., two women, new
to the league, were enrolled as
members early in the new year.
They began attending the Sunday
meetings and have accepted the
Lord as their Saviour. They are
hoping, before the close of our
Golden Jubilee Year, to be full-
fledged soldiers of the Army. At a
recent meeting, Miss Florence Wil-
cox, blind teacher at the Montreal
School for the Blind, brought arti-
cles made by her students, and gave
a talk on the work programme of
the school.

* * *

Park Extension, Montreal, had a

party, with members of the Rose-
mount League as their guests; also a
special jubilee meeting with an en-
rolment of new members. During
the summer months a supper for
members and their husbands was
arranged, at which time a report
was given on the progress of the
league and the plans for the Sep-
tember rally were outlined — which
includes among many interesting
items the gathering in of soap as a
missionary project.

A jubilee tea was held early in
the summer by Rosemount, Mon-

were enrolled. At the moment faith

Ottawa, Ont., Citadel — An elderly
member was burned out, escaping
with only her night clothing. The
home league held a shower for her,
at which she received bedding,
household linens, kitchen utensils,
wearing apparel, pictures — a supply
of diabetic foods, and a gift of
money.

Parkdale, Ottawa, has been hold-
ing a "Home League Feature of the
Month" meeting, which is clothed in
mystery until the arrival of the
members.

A "sunshine shower", consisting
of canned juices, cookies, candies,
and cards, etc., was held by Sher-
brooke members. These goodies
were placed in a gaily-decorated
basket and presented to their oldest
member on her eighty-ninth birth-
day. The home league outing was a
delightful event — a bus was char-
tered and members and friends
made a road trip of about 325 miles
to the White Face Mountains, in
New York State, and then took a
restful boat trip on Lake Champlain.

The beautiful surroundings brought
joy and blessing and the hours of
happy fellowship, during which time
there was a sing-song and a game,
"Let's get acquainted", were made
an occasion for recruiting new
members. A new version of the "pot
luck" supper was a financial success

at a recent summer meeting.

Secretary Mrs. V. Fox, of Tweed,
was suddenly called Home. Shortly
before her death, Mrs. Fox had
spoken warmly of the kindness and
friendliness of the members of the
small league, reported one of the
leaguers, then added: "Being her-
self kind and good, she helped by
her example to make others so; and
so, perhaps, she found in others a
reflection of what she was at heart,
a never-complaining, kind and

gentle soul."

Have you read your home league
bulletin board announcements this
week? If so, you will probably be
busy giving time and effort to the
new competition, "Three Guests To
Dinner", launched in The Canadian
Home Leaguer, for, as you know,
the article must reach the editor,
before September 30th, 1957. Three
book prizes will be awarded for the
three best papers.

The summer months have gone by
like a breeze. What fun, fellowship
and inspiration must have been the
lot of those privileged to attend the
special home league golden jubilee
camps. But now to work. The busy
fall programme is claiming our time
and attention. Remember our
slogan, "Each One — Reach One".
The campaign is quickly drawing to
its close; now is the time to intro-
duce your neighbour to the league
and to the Lord.

A RARE GIFT

THEN Dr. Karl Compton, the fa-
mous physicist, was in India
some years ago, his sister was hav-
ing her house wired by a native
electrician, who constantly came to
her for instructions. "Where would
you like the wires?" "How high?"
"How many plugs?" "Do you want
two-way switches?" and so on.

This so irritated her that she
turned to him one day and rebuked:
"You know what I want; just use
your common sense and do it."

To which he politely made this
profound remark: "Madam, com-
mon sense is a rare gift of God. I
have only a technical education."

TN connection with the television series, THE LIVING WORD, The Salvation
A Army is offering a free Bible correspondence course. There has been
some response to this broadcast offer, but in some cases the anouncement
has been omitted from the programme, and the listeners are not aware
of the offer.

Readers of THE WAR CRY who are desirous of obtaining this Bible
course are invited to write for particulars to:
The Education Secretary, The Training College, 84 Davisville Ave., Toronto.

THE WAR CRY

IN AT THE BEGINNING

ONE of the first Hallelujah
weddings held in Canada, if
not the first, was that of Cap-
tain Theresa Hall to Staff-
Captain Charles Wass. The
ceremony was conducted in the
Army's first acquired hall in Toron-
to, a large frame building with a
rough-cast exterior seating about
2,000 persons, situated on Richmond
Street, or Farley Avenue as it was
then known. The Army's Social
Service Centre is now on approxi-
mately the same site.

On the occasion mentioned, Sep-
tember 1st, 1884, the "barracks" as
the hall was called, contained a
thousand or more Salvationists and
converts who watched the pro-
ceedings with interest and enthusi-
astically endorsed them with
appropriate volleys of "Amfen."
Major T. B. Coom,bs, newly-arrived
from Britain, had charge of the ser-
vice, having just been appointed by
Wm. Booth, the Army's Founder, in
command of the Canadian Territory.
Previous to this, work of the infant
movement in the Dominion had
been directed from the newly-
established New York headquarters.
First Divisional Leader

Staff-Captain Wass was one of
the Army's pioneers in Canada from
a leadership standpoint, for he be-
came the first district officer with
headquarters in Toronto, then as
now the capital of the Province of
Ontario. Major Coombs, the first
commissioner appointed to Canada,
was his successor and when the
Staff-Captain farewelled from To-
ronto in December, 1884, to take
command of Michigan Division,
Illinois, U.S.A. he wrote:

"When I was promoted to be divi-
sional officer, new stations were

k BRIEF sketch of an early-day Canadian Salvationist, whose
exploits for God have been uncovered by searching old volumes
of The Canadian War Cry. Real heroes and heroines were these
intrepid warriors, who shirked no sacrifice in order to "Go for souls
and go for the worst." (Particulars of other pioneers are sought. Ed.)

opened week by week until the
duties that fell to my lot increased
greatly and I had to work and
travel night and day. This made
inroads on my health, but it pleased
God and the General to appoint
Major Coombs to come and take
command. I received him gladly, for
the work was getting far too great
for me to grapple with and keep in
proper shape."

It seems that Wass, a Lincolnshire
lad born of "poor but honest and
hard-working parents," had been a
farmer's helper in the Old Land
until he moved to Nottingham
where he toiled for a while in a
small coal-mining town. He fell
among liquor-drinking companions,
and frequent visits to taverns
brought him to a low condition of
living. However, a godly friend, by
his example and life, was a great
help to the young miner and he was
converted to God. His testimony
briefly records that he was saved on
April 29th, 1877. "Anyone who
knew me could not doubt it," he
says.

Fully Persuaded

A small pocket Bible which had
lain in his trunk a long while was
brought into the light, and he read
and reread its contents out in the
fields and elsewhere. He was greatly
strengthened in his faith, although
much tempted by the enemy of
souls. "I was fully persuaded that
it was better to serve God than to
go back to my former sinful ways,"
he testified later.

He became acquainted with a
young Salvationist leader and at-
tended Army meetings with him,
resolving to "go all the Way with
the Lord." A letter from, the head-
quarters in London saying that
officers were needed to go to
America decided the point, and he
wrote in his diary: "I received
marching orders from General
Booth to go and take charge of the
first Canadian corps. Those chosen
boarded the Gallia at Liverpool and
landed at New York in due course,
determined to conquer or die."

According to The War Cry record
Captain Wass, by the General's
authority took charge of the Army's
work in Toronto on the last Sunday
in August, 1882, when he secured
the Coliseum on Alice Street

(Terauley Street) for the indoor
meetings. Great crowds were in
attendance and the rather meagre
report says, "A large number got
saved and many sought the blessing
of sanctification."

At the same time that Captain
Wass was hastening to his appoint-
ment in Toronto, an English
woman-officer, Captain Annie Shir-
ley was on her way from, the New
York headquarters to take over the
pioneer work of Jack Addie and
Joe Ludgate, both of whom had
been promoted to the rank of Cap-
tain and were ready to be appointed
elsewhere. Captains Wass and Shir-
ley travelled on the same train,
separating at Hamilton for their
respective destinations, Wass arriv-
ing first at his. Shirley, an experi-
enced and skilled leader, however,
did not stay long in London,
although she saw some remarkable
results in soul-winning there.

It was the same with Wass. A
wood-cut portrait of this energetic
young leader who did much to
organize the newly-formed Army in
and around Toronto, shows him to
have had a bearded purposeful face,
kindly withal. He seems to have had
strong leadership ability in the
meetings, and nothing pleased him
better than to see the penitent-form
lined with seeking men and women.
Mfeiny of these converts became ex-
cellent fighters for God and some
were destined to play a prominent
part in the activities of the new
movement.

Unofficial Beginnings

As in London, Ontario, the Army's
work in Toronto began in an un-
official way, a converted blacksmith
by the name of Freer holding
meetings of The Salvation Army
type in a hall at the corner of Yonge
and Gerrard streets. This good man
and his wife, sturdy English immi-
grants, did a fine work under poor
circumstances, but nevertheless
helped definitely to lay foundations
for the Army's future operations.
They and their converts also held
outdoor meetings at the nearby
street corners and in adjacent
Queen's Park, where the Ontario
Legislative Buildings now stand.

At the end of the year (1882) the
Freers were commissioned as Cap-
tains, as were also Addie and Lud-

gate, the last-named officers taking
charge for a short period in the
provincial capital. By the time the
organization had taken root in
several towns and villages, the num-
ber of officers had grown consider-
ably and there were several hundred
Salvationists, the majority of these
being enthusiastic and earnest
fighters for God and souls. In
Toronto during the leadership of
Staff-Captain Wass the number of
converts made, recruits "sworn in,"
and soldiers enrolled increased
almost daily until he was almost
worn out by his constant labours
and the heavy demands made upon
his administrative ability.

A Good Builder

The foundations of the Army in
Toronto, however, were firmly laid
by the first district officer of this
important section of the battlefield
and when the first commissioner,
Major Coombs, took over, the new
movement, borne onward by the
fires of revival, went forward by
leaps and bounds.

The same year that Staff-Captain
Wass laboured in Ontario the Army
Founder declared Canada a separate
territory, indicative of his foresight
and faith in the Army's future in
the Dominion. The Army's present
standing shows how right he was!

(Mrs. Staff-Captain Wass deserves a
chapter to herself and this will appear in
the next Issue of THE WAR CRY. Ed.)

LIVES THAT ARE WITHERED

IN the Roman Forum there used to
be a spring called "The Fountain
of the Maiden." Until recent years
it was impossible to find any trace
of it.

One day, however, in cleaning
away a lot of rubbish from the ruins
of the forum, the old fountain burst
forth again. For centuries it had
been closed by the refuse which had
accumulated.

How many Christian lives are
sealed fountains through the hurry
and worry of business and pleasure!
Where once they were useful and
happy soul-winners, they are today
absorbed in amusements and en-
gagements, and their lives have
withered like the streams that sink
in the desert and are lost to sight.

How careful we should be that
neither by foolish conversation,
glaring inconsistencies, religious
selfishness, or any other reason we
may cause our brother to stumble
or hinder our testimony for Christ.

day boomers. Last week the writer suggested that heralds should familiarize them-
selves with the contents of THE WAR CRY before setting out to sell it.

I FOUND often that one would take
the paper on being told that it
contained something about India —
the point of interest possibly being a
relative there; another because of
an article upon a popular and
attractive topic, owing to strong
opinions on the same matter. A
mother would be interested by
being pointed to the fact that there
were pictures that would interest
the children. As good salesmen you
should know the finest points of
your goods — and you will be
successful in selling.

Vary your methods. What will be
successful in selling the paper in one
place or under one set of circum-
stances will not be successful in
others. You must not expect it to be
so. In some crowded neighbour-
hoods and markets, to hawk the
paper aloud in an arresting voice
will do well. In some more select
but well-populated parts, to offer
it quietly to individual passers-by
will prove the best.

In congested thoroughfares, to
sing one of its songs and announce
its topics of interest and ask for a
collection for its distribution in
hospitals, prisons, saloons, slums
and among the sick, will often
secure a sufficient amount to pay for
quite a number.

Use Tact

The herald should get into
friendly terms before asking the
person to buy THE WAR CRY. If
there should happen to be any little

children about, a little generous
notice of them may go a long way
in securing the desired end; a short
conversation with the baby has
disposed of many a paper for me.

Or if, as you stand at a cottage
door, there is every appearance of
the inmate being exceptionally busy,
express regret at being obliged to
interrupt, and if you can possibly
see an opportunity for giving any
passing assistance, be sure you offer
the same; this will create goodwill
and confidence toward the organiza-
tion to which you belong, as well as
sell your paper.

Have a tidy appearance. Wear a
bright face! The brighter your
appearance and the more attractive
your general deportment, the better
it will recommend your personal
religion.

Protect The Papers

My next suggestion will be that
you devise ways and means for the
protection of your copies of THE
WAR CRY in wet or humid

weather. Put yourself in the place
of the prospective customer and
imagine the impression created by
the offer of a limp and bedraggled
paper — one that looks as though
it might have fallen into the weekly
washtub — instead of the prim,
spick-and-span article that comes
crisply off our presses.

To guard against this, I would
suggest the use of an ample length
of oil cloth, which will keep the

MAJOR W. PARSONS (R)

MAJOR William Parsons (R) was
called to his Heavenly Home
from a Toronto hospital on Tuesday.
August 27th. He was eighty-nine
years of age.

Details of this veteran warrior's
career and an account of the funeral
service will be published in a sub-
sequent issue of The War Cry.

Faith is a word we seldom take
To heart until we prove
Enough of it in us can make
Some mountain REALLY MOVE.

rriHEi Newfoundland Congress meet-
-*- ings, with all their blessings are
over. Salvationists — with memories
of grand times spent with the Lord,
are on the train heading home from
St. John's. Some officers are try-
ing to centre their minds on a holi-
day, but the thoughts of the new
appointments they received during
congress have a way of coming back
again and again: "Will I be a suc-
cess?" "Am I able to cope with the
new problems that I will have to
face?" "Will I see souls saved?" and
many other thoughts come to them
as the train rushes on.

My wife and I arrived at home,
spent a few days furlough and are
off to our appointment. It is situated
in Notre Dame Bay (where so many
of our Newfoundland corps are lo-
cated). We have travelled by train
and car as far as is possible, now we
embark upon the last stage of our
journey in a small fishing boat,
about twenty-two feet long and
powered with a three horsepower
engine.

Rolling Sea

The skipper says it is a good day
(and so it is for him — but not for us,
my wife and me) . The sea heaves,
and the ship rises and falls, causing
an uneasy feeling in one's stomach.
The lighthouse on the high point of
land ahead of us is almost com-
pletely lost to view as we settle in
the huge valley of water.

We arrive finally, weakly rise
from the little craft and meet our
new comrades. How they welcome
us, as only Newfoundlanders can.
We are escorted to our cosy little
quarters, after a refreshing lunch at
the home of the corps sergeant-
major, who has been a local officer
for almost forty years. Then there is
the usual routine of unpacking and

getting settled in our new home.

The citadel is filled for the wel-
come meeting, and the comrades
are full of expectations; so are we.
We note that "the old-fashioned
way" is still practised here. There
are ringing "aniens" and "hallelu-
jahs" from all quarters of the hall.
Our hearts thrill as we share in the
fellowship of this meeting. Glory
crowns the Mercy-Seat as the wan-
derers return. The sergeant-major
tells us that five souls had sought
the Lord the Sunday prior to our
arrival, and the fire continues to
burn. The meeting ends and. we
have the privilege of shaking hands
with old veterans, who have been
Salvationists for almost half a cen-
tury. We return home with high
hopes for the coming winter.

In the days that follow we meet
our people in their homes, and have
fellowship with them there. Plans
are made for the winter. Fuel, con-
sisting of wood and coal, is stored in
the small shed.

Signs of winter appear on every

hand. The coastal boats make their
last trip, bringing mail and freight;
the fishermen haul their boats
ashore for the season, the ice draws
nearer and nearer the land. Finally,
we are cut off from the rest of our
province until the ice moves off
again, which may be sometime in
May; (it is now December). Our
only means of contact with our
comrade officers will be by letter,
which a small Beaver aircraft will
deliver each week. There is no
medical aid here, and sometimes the
officer is the only official Gospel
representative remaining for the
full term.

The winter season here, though
filled with hardships, freezing bliz-
zards, ice blockades and few means
of communication, is usually a time
of fighting for God and soul-saving.
Comrades are home from the fish-
ing-grounds, lumber-camps, and
jobs that take them away from home
during the summer. The citadel is
filled on Sunday and week nights.
Souls are saved and Christians re-
vived.

After the long winter, the resi-
dents welcome the spring breakup;
the ice melts. The community is
soon a beehive of activity; boats are
launched, cod-traps set and the first
arrival of the coastal boats is a wel-
come sight. Our thoughts turn to
congress and the fellowship that it
will bring; once again we will have
the privilege of seeing officers whom
we have not seen since last congress
just a year ago.

city.

Along with the work for the
transient and tne soldier, a great
deal of work was accomplished for
the Hungarian refugees entrusted
to the care of The Salvation Army.
Homes and jobs were found for
about forty of these, and until such
time as they were settled they were
sheltered and fed at the institution.
. A thrift store is now in operation
and is meeting the need of many
families of the surrounding area
who find it difficult to compete in
the battle of rising costs. This store
also serves as a distribution centre
for clothes and furniture for desti-
tute people and families.

Troops are now coming into the
centre in greatly increasing num-
bers and it is felt in many quar-
ters that this centre will fill a great
need in the days that lie ahead.
Many items of equipment have been
added to the centre through the
generosity of the people of this city.
Through the kindness of Premier
Fleming, Mayor Walker and
others it was possible to procure a
piano for the centre, army officials
say. A television set has now been
provided by a number of generous
citizens who donated to the project.

During the last year, fourteen
burnt-out families were helped, and
fifty- eight families were assisted in
finding homes. Also during last
year there were 1,222 free meals
and 461 free beds provided for the
transients passing through the city.

FRATERNITY

PURPOSE OF ARMY MUSIC

THE following is an example of
Lt.-Colonel R. Slater's idea of
what Salvation Army music should
be:

"Do not let us Army musicians
become enslaved to the great names
in music; do not let us be carried
away by personal preferences for
classical music, from being practical
Salvationists, but let us always ask
as the final test of the value of any
particular kind or form of music
sung or played — What are likely
to be the spiritual results obtained?

"The Army has found a place for
music of many kinds, not to provide
mere pleasure or to minister to a
refined taste, but to gain direct
spiritual results in the quickest and
fullest measure. As long as pieces
by the great composers reach such
an end, all is well; but if such pieces
are made an end, and not a means to a
spiritual objective, inevitable danger
is before us. Let us prove ourselves
to be wise servants of our Lord.

"Congregational singing must
always hold the chief place in Army
musical activities. Bands, songster
brigades, and soloists, all are but
accessories and of subordinate im-
portance. . . The typical church and
chapel hymn-tune is not, at least
this is my estimate, that which best
suits Army congregational needs,

LIKE AN ORGAN

THE following is a letter taken
from a recent issue of the British
Musician.

"With regard to Bandmaster
Woods' reference to the organ-like
playing of a brass band and the
trombone tone, I well remember the
playing of Atonement' by. the Cam-
bridge Heath Band in the Strand
Hall during the International Con--
gress of 1914. (I had joined the band
on Eb bass seven years before).

"The trombone solo, 'It was on the
Cross' was played by Harold Well-
man, and our commanding officer of
that day, now Mrs. Lt.-Colonel
Gresswell (R.) later told us that
it was not difficult for her to pic-
ture the Calvary scene as he plaved;
it was 'just like an organ'."

The Harold Wellman mentioned is now
a Brigadier, serving as Territorial Auditor
for the headquarters In Canada. — Editor.

being slow, meditative, restrained,
quietistic in mood; such tunes as
provide a medium for the expres-
sion as well as the creation of
decision, courage, joyful aggression
and clear and positive spiritual
experience are of greatest service
for the Army's congregational
singing."

A comrade of Southend South-
church Corps, England, Bandsman
E. Bones, has been serving with the
Royal Air Force on Christmas Is-
land in the Pacific. He is due to re-
turn home after a stay of thirteen
months at this lonely spot. On the
way he is expected to pass through
the United States, where he an-
ticipates meeting Salvationists
again. There are no other Salva-
tionists on Christmas Island, but
this comrade has had fellowship
with other Christian men.

is one that has been used a great
deal in prayer meetings. It has been
taken out of its original setting, for
it was first the chorus of a song
which commenced:

Many a year thou hast wandered
Blindly and carelessly on

and which was published in the 1890
Musical Salvationist. The author al-
so gave us the tune for the words
and this is in our tune book, No. 485.

The author, Captain Mary Agnew,
was a Canadian officer serving on
the training home staff in New York
when the song was published. Be-
fore transferring to the U.S.A. she
was stationed at the Kingston, Ont,
Corps.

Captain Agnew also gave us
Chorus No. 212:

Have faith in God, the sun will shine,
Though dark the clouds may be today,
His heart has planned your path and

mine;
Have faith in God, have faith alway.

FESTIVAL AT WINNIPEG
CONGRESS

ANEW feature is to be launched
at the Winnipeg Congress, with
a visit from an outstanding Toronto
band, to supplement the western
musical forces. Dovercourt Citadel
Band is to fly out and participate in
the Saturday evening musical festi-
val, and assist with the Sunday ser-
vices.

Also visiting will be the Regina
Citadel Band, and other musical
parties from prairie corps. Winnipeg
bands and songster brigades will
join forces to make it an outstand-
ing event. Many Dovercourt bands-
men will be returning to home ter-
ritory. Included in the number will
be Bandsmaster W. Habkirk,
Deputy-Bandmaster P. M e r r i 1 1,
Bandsman R. Cummings and many
others.

The Saturday night festival is to
be held in the Winnipeg Civic Audi-
torium. This is a beautiful building,
and is admirably suited for such a
programme. It is expected that the
large hall will be filled for this fea-
ture presentation.

Many will remember the verses
of this song with their ringing chal-
lenge. Verse 1 went thus;

Do you ever feel downhearted or dis-

couraged?
Do you ever feel your work is all in

vain?
Do the burdens thrust upon you make

you tremble?
And you feel that you the vict'ry

ne'er will gain?

Captain Agnew also gave us the
melody with which the words are
associated, the complete song being
published in 1897.

Colonel J. Addie, already referred
to as one of the pioneers of our
work in Canada, has no song in our
present song book, but he was the
reputed author of a one-time popu-
lar song that was in our last song
book:

When Moses and his soldiers

From Egypt's land did flee,

Their enemies behind them,

In front of them the sea;

God turned aside the waters

And opened up a way:

And the God that lived in Moses' time

Is just the same today.

This, with others of his songs was
published after he was transferred
to America.

We have, however, one chorus in

dian songs by Sister Sarah Gra-
ham gripped me in a special way,
particularly the incidents con-
nected with the song, '1 have given
up all for Jesus,' and its chorus,
'Life"8 morn will soon be waning.'

"In November, 1900, Commis-
sioner George Soott Railton, him-
self the author of 'No home on
earth have I' (No. 292 in the song
book), sang Sister Graham's song
with solemn fervour in the stifling
heat of a small room in Mombasa,
British East Africa (now Kenya),
whilst I, still in my teens, accom-
panied him on the cornet. You are
correct when you state that this
song was a popular solo a number
of years ago.

"The last time I saw Commis-
sioner Railton to speak to was at
Olympia on the occasion of the
memorial service for the Founder
(August, 1912). The next year the
Pearly Gates opened for this saint-
ly man, who collapsed and died on
a railway station at Cologne, Ger-
many. Thus the following words of
his own Bong came to pass:
Into Thy gracious hands
My life is ever placed;
To die fulfilling- Thy commands,
I march with hounding haste.

our song book, No. 116, whch was
given to us by R. Werry and which,
together with the music, was pub-
lished in Canada as long ago as 1889,
but which is still heard in our meet-
ings from time to time.

O I'll take another look at the cross of

Calvary,
Bring my life again to the cleansing

Blood;
There is purity and power,
There is victory every hour
When we're living 'neath the smile
of God.

THE WAR CRY

Hazelton, B.C., (2nd-Lieut. J.
Smith). Comrades of this Native
corps have been encouraged during
the summer months by the working
of the Holy Spirit in their midst.
"I've made a mess of my life", said a
backslidden young mother who had
been sentenced to four weeks in the
village jail for drunkenness.
Through visitation, prayer , and a
desire to live a good life she re-
turned to the Lord. Another woman
knelt in the open-air ring during
the singing of "The Old Rugged
Cross", and raised her hand in testi-
mony as the soldiers sang, "In Thee,
O Lord, do I put my trust."

On a Sunday evening another vic-
tory was won when a young woman
returned to the Lord. After she rose
from the Mercy-Seat her family,
one by one — as is the custom —
moved forward to shake hands with
her and wish her God's blessing and
help. Two children of the company
meeting also gave their hearts to
the Lord.

POUR NOS AMI CANADIENS
FRANCAIS

Matthew 5:1-13

VOYANT la foule, Jesus monta
sur la montagne; et, apres qu'il
se fut assis, ses disciples s'approch-
erent de lui. Puis, ayant ouvert la
bouche, il les enseigna, et dit:

Heureux les pauvres en esprit,
car le royaume des cieux est a eux!

Heureux les affliges, car ils seront
consoles!

Heureux les debonnaires, car ils
heriteront la terre!

Heureux ceux qui ont faim et soif
de la justice, car ils seront rassasies!

Heureux les misericordieux, car
ils obtiendront misericorde!

Heureux ceux qui ont le coeur
pur, car ils verront Dieu!

Heureux ceux qui procurent la
paix, car ils seront appeles fils de
Dieu!

Heureux ceux qui sont persecutes
pour la justice, car le royaume des
cieux est a eux!

Heureux serez-vous, lorsqu'on
vous outragera, qu'on vous perse-
cutes et qu'on dira faussement de
vous toute sorte de mal, a cause
de moi. Rejoissez-vous et soyez
dans l'allegresse, parce que votre
recompense sera grande dans les
cieux; car c'est ainsi qu'on a perse-
cute les prophetes qui ont ete avant
vous.

LIFE SAVINGS RETURNED

AN elderly woman in Pasadena,
California, having no use for an
old dress, still in good condition, de-
cided to give it to The Salvation
Army. It was handed over — with an
interesting sequel. The Salvationist
concerned found the woman's life
savings, some $800 carefully sewn in
the hem of the dress. Obviously, she
had put the money there for safe-
keeping and forgotten all about it.
The $800 was returned; the dress
was handed on to a needy person.

Vancouver, B.C. Temple Corps,

(Sr.-Captain and Mrs. A. Pitcher).
A home-coming week-end was held
recently in connection with the
seventieth anniversary year. On
Saturday the comrades gathered at
Locarno Beach for a picnic. On Sun-
day a goodly number of visitors and
former comrades attended the meet-
ings which were conducted by Lt.-
Colonel A. Keith (R), accompanied
by Mrs. Keith. The Colonel's Bible
messages were helpful and inspir-
ing and, at the close of the evening
salvation meeting, one seeker found
salvation.

Among the former comrades who
returned for the special week-end
was Mrs. Major Loney (R), who
was one of the earliest candidates to
leave Vancouver Citadel for the
training college. Her testimony was
an inspiration.

E. Pavey, Pro-Lieut. L. Rowsell).
Six penitents knelt at the Mercy-
Seat on a recent Sunday evening
when the meeting was led by En-
voy Hewlett. The soul-stirring
gathering ended with a Hallelujah
"wind-up." Present also were Cap-
tain and Mrs. H. Sharp, former
corps officers. Through recent open-
air meetings and tavern raids,
encouraging contacts have been
made and faith is high for revival.

A BOOMER'S GOOD TURN

WHILE selling War Cry's in the
business district of Sarnia, Ont.,
recently, Sister Mrs. S. Archer
learned of a clerk who had forgot-
ten to take her glasses with her to
work and was handicapped as a re-
sult.

On her own initiative Mrs. Archer
hopped aboard a bus which took her
to the clerk's home, secured the
spectacles and delivered them to the
owner.

So grateful was the clerk that she
reported the incident to the editor
of the local paper, who used the
story in his leading editorial.

"Such service, rendered in Christ's
name, will not go unrewarded in
eternity", says the Sarnia Salvation-
ist which carries an account of the
incident.

Sister Mrs. Bessie Arenburg;,

Kentville, N.S., passed away in her
sleep just a few hours after attend-
ing the Sunday evening meeting.
She was respected throughout the
district as an ardent Salvationist,
active in all worthy causes. As a
league of mercy worker she, for
many years, visited the provincial
sanitorium and the local hospital,
and also gave valued support to the
weekly Children's Bible Hour radio
broadcasts.

The funeral service was conduct-
ed by the Corps Officers, lst-Lieut.
and Mrs. D. Coles, the large attend-
ance speaking eloquently of the in-
fluence of the departed comrade's
life.

AUDIENCE MAGICALLY INCREASED

REGINA'S first radio announcer,
Mr. Bert Hooper, described in
the Regina Leader Post some of his
experiences in the early twenties.
He told about the first broadcast of
Salvation Army activities.

"I was in the studio on the fifth
floor of a building on the main
street one hot afternoon in July,
1922. I heard drum-beats, shoved up
the window, and putting the 'mike'
outside, and the headphones on my
ears, I announced, "The Salvation
Army Band will play!"

To his joy the march stopped out-
side the building on Hamilton
Street, and the little company of
Salvationists held their open-air
service, thinking that the two street
loiterers were their only audience,
not knowing that the "mike" had
picked up their music and message
and broadcast it to thousands.

Mr. Hooper added: "But they
soon heard, and they were simply
wild with all the letters they re-
ceived. Baskets of them came from
the northern states of the U.S.A.
Alberta, Manitoba and all over Sas-
katchewan."

It would be interesting to know
who was stationed in Regina in 1922,
and whether he or she remembers
the incident.

CONTINUAL COMRADES

THE wedding of Bandsman and
Mrs. Mervin Leach was con-
ducted in the Brantford citadel on
August 3rd by the Commanding Of-
ficer, Brigadier W. Jones.

The bride's attendants were
Songster Mrs. E. Leach, maid of
honour, and Songster Mrs. R. Rob-
ertson, bridesmaid. The best man
was Bandsman W. Court, and the
ushers were Bandsman E. Leach
and Young People's Bandleader R.
Broughton. Sergeant-Ma j or E. Court,
of Dovercourt Corps, Toronto, solo-
ed, and Songster J. Homewood pro-
vided suitable music.

The newly-married couple have
since transferred to Ottawa, where
they are soldiering at the Citadel
Corps. The bride was formerly
Mary Piper.

The various denominations, 1
have observed, are much like mem-
bers of a large family. They quarrel
over many petty matters in the
home, yet usually love one another
enough to co-operate on the major
issues. — Oven Arnold, "Presbyterian
Life."

ARMY'S FLOAT WINS PRIZE

• CALIFORNIA— The "Luther-
an Hour" float entered in the an-
nual Tournament of Roses parade
here by Lutheran Laymen's League
was awarded first prize in the reli-
gious organizations category.

The Lutheran Hour broadcasts
are heard over some 1,350 stations
in sixty-four countries.

Second prize for floats entered by
religious organizations went to The
Salvation Army.

The "Lutheran Hour" float was a
recreation of Leonardo da Vinci's
"The Lord's Supper." Portraying
the Twelve Apostles, seen sharing
in the Communion, were members
of the Bishop's Company, a non-
profit group of professional per-
formers who stage religious pro-
ductions all over the country.

The float was forty-three feet
long, twenty feet wide, and seven-
teen feet high. It was covered with
thousands of white, brown and yel-
low chrysanthemums, sweet peas,
red roses, stemmed stocks, stemmed
gladiolas and orchids. Paul Mueller,
Zorktown, la., artist, designed the
float in a nationwide contest.

In its float The Salvation Army
featured the Gutenberg Bible in the
foreground with a cover of black
croton leaves. Its pages were of

white chrysanthemums, while the
edges were in gold 'mums. In the
background was a huge cross with
two Salvation Army girls protecting
it. Sun rays burst from behind the
cross. Further behind the cross and
the Bible stood a young boy cos-
tumed as one of the prophets, writ-
ing with a quill pen.

Saviour after being the subject of
prayer for thirteen years. In the
Sunday afternoon meeting the out-
reach, passion, sacrifice and heroism
of Salvationists in many countries
came alive as the General delivered
an inspiring and challenging ad-
dress, "A General salutes his
soldiers."

During the preliminaries the
General presented the chairman of
the meeting, Commissioner McMil-
lan and, because these leaders will
be shortly retiring from active
service, seized the opportunity of
paying high tribute to them for their
long and influential ministry under
the flag. The Sunday night battle
for souls was a genuine thriller for
fighting Salvationists.

The General was at his best in this
meeting, giving an earnest message,
training his sights on the sinners,
backsliders and Christ-rejecters in
the audience. His was the voice of
grace and truth revealing Jesus
Christ the Lord, and revealing Him
moreover as One having authority.

The great crowd of eager up-
turned faces was under the spell of
heavenly power. God was speaking
through His servant. There was
scarcely a movement in the crowd
until the prayer-meeting began.
Then men and women, with little
urging, were walking altarward. It
was a sight that made the heart
leap. Little wonder that the meet-
ing concluded on a top note of praise
and thanksgiving for the thirty-
three seekers recorded.

On Monday, the international
leaders met the officers in council
and, subsequently, the New England
retired officers at their annual
luncheon.
