The SALVATION ARMY.

The "War Cry" the organ of the
Salvation Army, is n revelation in
the way of newspaper literature, as
the following extracts, selected at
random, will show
uURRAH! uURRAH uuRRAHl
Started out on Monday with our
sword of truth and the big gospel
gun. Shot and killed three on Mon
day night. Packed them up and
took them to Jesus, he spoke life
into them. What wonderful power!
At it again till Thursday night, when
the crowds began to pour in to see
our hallelujah wedding, which took
place in our barracks. The vast
crowds seemed to be uncomfortable,
before and after the wedding took
place; but when we drew our
swords, and pulled out the gospel
gun, and fired some heavy hot
charges, in soldier-like, blood and
fire way, lips began to culver, and
eyes began to moisten, till all was
quiet as death, and conviction reigned
all over the house. Lots wounded,
three more began to cry for the
healing balm. Oh, Hallelujah! Fri
day night, soldiers mustered at the
& barracks for y supply of ammuni-
ton, got lots of it, many had to lie
on the floor under their load. Hal
lelujah. We were found again on
the battlefield with our new recruits.
On Saturday night some heavy firing
was done. That's right, never tire.
At it again at Z A. NJ, got well filed;
made good use of our instruments Of
war all day.
"NUGGETs FROM THE SALVATION
NINE"
Under this head the "War Cry"
gives several ''nuggets,' few of
which we present.
We realize that the brightest gems
lie in the cutters of sins, rs the
pearls at the bottom of the sea.
Lord, help us to go down and find
them. Lord, keep us humble, oh,
so humble, that we shall always be
ready to stretch out the right hand
of fellowship to the outcast and
fallen.
A Frenchman who had spent
nearly sixteen years in prison was
drunkard, gambler and thief, but
is now sweetly saved. Hallelujah!
They said when he first got saved
that he would only last till pay day
came round, and then they would
see him drunk, and, praise the Lord.
so they did, but he was drunk with
the wine of the kingdom, and the
devil had to grin and bear.
Out of the gutter we pick them up.
And by and by in heaven they'll sup.
A drunken peddler, now the Hal
lelujah fisherman, who was once q
hopeless outcast of society, and who
spent upwards of $500 in drink,
but to-day he stands with his Halle
lujah wife, q monument of sparing,
saving mercy. Only the other day,
when the visiting Sergeant and Lieu
tenant were visiting them they no.

dilapidated and forlorn, now cheer
full and happy, for the devil is turned
out and Jesus reigns there. No
more whisky bottles and dirty clay
pipes.
The Salvation Army report for
1884 shows this organization to be
at least on a creditable military
footing. 1t numbers go corps dis
tributed over the United Kingdom,
France, Switzerland, the United
States, Canada, India, Sweden and
Australia. The total list of officers
includes 1882 names, besides 1873
cadets in barracks undergoing a
course of training. The result Of
their ''village warfare in England
has left them in regular occupation
of 3O3 villages. An important con-
tribution to their income of nearly
$685. 900 seems to be the profit de-
rived from mercantile transactions.
