1t Is then pointed out that pio-
neer corps to erect houses, and plaut
some crops would be sent out about
u year In advance of the colony
itself. The colonists would he pre-
pared by an education In honesty,
truth aud industry, and In every
thing fitted to adapt them to citizen
ship in community which would
I've controlled by the laws regulating
al good governments.
Provision Is made for transporta-
tion, and plan by which the colo.
nists shall repay their passage
money sent out. The unique feat
ure of this scheme, however, Is the
salvation ship, to be used for carry
Ing eniigrants to the colonies, and
ABOARD which they could be en-
ployed at various kinds of work,
pu which, under religious and
moral influences and teachings, they
rould be saved from the sins into
which too many passengers ON board
rnigrant ships are prone to fall
This chapter concludes as follows:
Not only would the ship be Il per.
feet hive Of industry, it would also
tie a floating temple. The captain
officers aud every member of the
crew would be salvationists, and all
therefore, alike interested IN the eD-
terprise. Moreover, the probabilities
IRE that we should obtain the serv-
ices of the ships officers and crew
IN the most inexpensive manner, In
harmony with the usages of the
army everywhere else, men serving
from love and not as a mere bust
ness. The effect produced by our
ship cruising slowly southwards,
tes,ifying to the reality of "A salvation
of both worlds, calling at all con-
veniert ports, would constitute y
new kind uf mission work, and
drawing out everywhere large
amount of warm practical syn,pa
thy. At present the influence Of
those who go down to the sea in ship
is not always in favor of raising tn,
morals and religion of the dweller-
where they come. Here however.
would be one ship at least whose ap-
pearance foretold no disorder, gave
rise to no debauchery, and from
whose capacious hull would stream
forth All army of men, who. instead
ot throngiDg the grog-shops and
other haunts of licentious indulg
ence, would occupy themselves
with explaining and prOclaiminp
the religion OF the Love of God and
the Brotherhood of Man.
METHODS OF CARRYING OUT THE
GENERAL PLAN.
There is All infnitude of detail
connected with the elaboration OF
the scheme To which it IL impossible.
tn refer in more than "A passing way.
Nor is more concerning them nee
,ssary to practical understanding
of what is proposed. 1t is enough, ,
then, 10 say that Gen. Booth
proposes to make the Salvation
Army more effective under the new
auspices in the prevention of crime
and the regeneration az men a:id
women. he proposes both by spir
itual and physical work to reduce
crime, vice, disease aud poverty TO
the lowest possible minimum. AS
agencies in this work theb aud Of

aud prison gate brigades will be or,
ganized, new Rescue homes for fallen
women will he established, refugees

PROSPECTS FOR GIVING THE SALIVA
TIoN SCHEME A TRIAL.
The appearance Of this remarkable
book created decided sensation,
throughout England. Never before
mad the truth I,een brought home
with such terrible force aud vivid
ness. The poets and noveiists had
made an impression, but it Was
easier TO disDarage their work by the
charge 0f overcoloring than 1t WAS
an indictment eriianating from one !
who had spent years of his life in
the exploration al the lost land he
was describing, whose statements
