In his speech at Salvation Army
Hall Monday evening, Marshal Booth
said that the army had 5000 evangel-
lists. $4,000 soldiers in uniform, and
oyer 100000 adherents. Its tambour-
ines and drums were merely bait to
catch fish. The army did not angle in
the preserves of other denominations;
it confined its attentions to slums and
pools of sin, which the others did not
touch. 1t had built a home for fallen
women in New York, and in short
time had rescued 1,706 girls and placed
them in respectable places. The army,
he said, is a mighty lever in the cause
of prohibition.-Por Huron Times.
