The Salvation Army.

The meetings of the Salvation Army con-
tnuc to be well attended and number of
persons have protested conversion as the
result of their laborS. Entering the Hall
the other evening we were struck by the
quietness and orderly conduct of the au-
dicnce, and except for an occasional de-
parturc from the Hall the meeting, in point
of order, compared favorably with those of
any religious denomination in Woodstown.
The congregation was largely made up Of
church members, many of whom took an
active part in the meeting. The Army is
unqucstionably doing good in Woodstown,
and Captain Garrison and her assistants
have met with favor on all hands. We re-
greet that Mrs. Garrison was compelled by
i'll health to quit work on Wednesday.
Tomorrow evening re-intorcements are eX-
pcctcd, and the use of the Opera House has
been rendered the Army for tomorrow and
Sunday evenings.
We learn that the detachment of the
Army at Elmer arc meeting with much
success, and receiving the countenanee and
support of the church members in their
work.

Disturbing IA Meeting.

The meeting of the Salvation Army in
MeAllister's Hall, ON Wednesday evening,
was disturbed by crowd of men who
seemed to bc under the influence of liquor,
and who disturbed The services by loud
talking and in other ways. Mayor Reed
was applied to, to issue a warrant, but re-
fused to do so, and nothing has been done
with Tie offenders.
Some people do not know how severely
the laws punish disturbers OF religious
meetings. 1T is because Of the charity and
long suffering of Christian people that such
offenders are not dealt with rs often rs they
deserve. Those who are contemplating
the commission OF any disgracefal conduct
at the meetings Of the salvation Army
here will do well to read the fate of some
boys in New York state who were en-
gagged in the same business. 4 gang of
roughs disturbed the Salvation Army
meeting at Bath, n. y, lately. and
Frank Smith, Edgar Cannon, Bob Cavan-
augh and Ed. llirseh We're arrested ON
complaint of tile officers of the army.
Their trials before Justice smith lasted
two days. Cavanaugh and llirsch were
discharged Campbell was sentenced To
pay fine Of $40 and costs, or spend so
days in jail lie could not pay his fine
and was accordingly locked up. Smith
was sentenced to $50 days in the Monroe
county penitentiary. when he Sworc at the
Jurtice, whereupon he was fined $50 for
contempt OF court, which will prolong his
retirement 80 days.
The question OF the Arrays protection
from disturbance has nothing whatever to
do with The question of whether they are
sincere or whether they are doing good or
harm to the cause OF religion. They hire
the hall for religious meetings and the law
says that religious meetings shall not be
disturbed. II these meetings We're held
for the purpose of propagating Moham-
medism, the law would protect them just
the same Those who do not like the
methods of the Salvationists can stay
away no one compels them to attend
but il they do 90 they must behave them
selves, SO says the law

4 large party of calithumpians who had
just finished serenading a newly married
couple on Salem street on Thursday night
at late hour, received an invitation to
come over to the Woodstown House and
sercnade a prominent member of the Sal
walton Army from Salem, who was putting
up there for the night. The suggestion
was readily acted upon, and the Army man
was routed ont and called on for a speech,
to which call he responded in manner
that warmed the ears of his hearers who
were assembled in front of the house.
Thinking to do better work at closer
quarters. the disturbers of the peace gath
cred in the reading room of the hotel and
another speech was demanded. to which
the respond was a gospel temperance adj

but of which the crowd stood much in
need. The hotel proprietor then called
upon the Salvation soldier to offera prayer,
to which he consented, upon condition that
the proprietor and the crowd should kneel
with him, which they were compelled to
do or acknowledge themselves beaten, and
a prayer. pointedly suitable to the necessi-
ties of the audience, was offered in a fer
vent MANNER after which the crowd was
glad to retire with the ejaculation '.We're
licked - and the soldier was permitted to
betakc himself in peace to his bed.

Took Our Children.

We don't mean picked them up and car
ricd them off, although we doubt not that
most parents sometime during the course
of their parental life, have hastily expressed
the wish that somebody would come and
run away with the young uns, who, for
the moment, seemed the greatest plague in
life. But it was an itincrant photographer
who applied at the public school on Mon
day for permission to take pictures OF the
children in a group, in front of the school
house. Consent was given by the princi-
pal, and the pupils of each room given a
sitting in separate group. Another
picture of the whole school was also taken.
and at noon time about one hundred i'm
pecunious ''papa's' and ''mamma's' were
importuned by anxious offspring for a
''quartcr,' with which to purchase copy
of the prospective pictures. We have not
heard how many responded.
