MISCELLANEOUS.
Examination of the financial advantages
to be gained by members of the Salvation
Army proves that there can be little attrac-
ton on that ground. In England the sum
paid to captain is q shillings a week, or
about Sc 70 a week. Majors get 60 Is. or
about $40 80 n week. Commissioners are
paid f3 IS a week, or half as much more as
Majors receive. Commissioner Smith, who
recently resigned, received this sum. There
are ten indoor meetings and eight outdoor
meetings week.
TIE majority of the members contribute
literally toward the needed funds of the
army. Total abstinence from strong drink
and its traffic is a very strong point. Smok-
ing is not absolutely prohibited-ior exam

out scruple to hear q favorte preacher by

tually forbidden to do so, but such step is
proof that the member is not

of sacrifice involved in active membership.
and credit must be given for real desire TO
do good. There is, of course, great deal
of emotional religion, it is true, but with
this there Is much genuine conservation to
the work.
