Cheyne Walk about two or three times week on the
average Our tetea-tee conversations by the studio
fire mostly lasted till or O'Clock III the morn
ing, and on those occasions there came from Ros-
settis mouth quite as much bumor, wit, fancy, and

William Booth, GeneralIssmo of the Salvation
Army. is a mdde-aged, gaunt iron gray man. with
abrupt but cordial manners. During conversation
he remains standing or even walking up and down
the room. His speech is pure, vigorous Saxon
English. His dark, earnest eyes have a halfweary
expression, caused by overwork. His face, thin
and PALE with an aquiline nose, is compared by
many with both Loyola AID Wesley. He was born
at Nottingham, England and educated himself in
the midst of great difficulties. Early in life he
began preaching as q Methodist minister. and re-
NAMED at that work until he organized the now
famous Salvation Army. He now receives and
distributes, with absolute control, revenue OF
S25O.000 yearly; reuts in his own
name $50 buildings in various parts of Great
Britain used as stations; and directs the
labors of more than $1,000 itinerant preachers.
The circulation of his official paper The Far CRY,
amounts to 100000 copies. This position he has
reached, not by the aid Of but in spite of the OPP
position of the orthodox clergy, and consequently
he is accustomed to say sardOnIcaly: "The last
enemy that shall be destroyed is-the parsOn."
