The lines of one member of the
Salvation Army have at least fallen in
and prettiest having gone to Plymouth
to convert the town, met with such sue
cess as preacher that, at the sugges-
ton of many prominent citizens, she
has been induced to leave the army and

tleman who offered to escort her home
was rather taken aback with the re-
response: 81 have come to Plymouth
to catch souls, not beaux. ."-BOSt0n

in letter from Mr.. Moody, dated
at Northfield, Mass. to his Bible class
in the Chicago Avenue Church, Chi
cago, which recently celebrated its
twenty-first birthday, he says: II have
had rowing commission, and gone to
my audiences. You have been stationed
in the fort, and your audiences have
come to you. The battle is the same;
let us push it to the gates. Whatever
else forget, the early events of the old
Illinois Street school will never pass
from my mind, and | love to think of
your class as a tie that binds me to the
past. Many things which you have
done will come to naught, and you will
look back upon them with no pleasure,
but the work you have put into the
Masters vineyard will stand. - Chi
