one learned from Parson Fish the hour
at which the service was to be perform

Kngsboro people took the matter into
their own hands. They dressed in their

the bride saw them through the Stats of

moved her to order that they should be
admitted so far as the capacity of the
largest room in the hotel would allow.
Thus it was discovered that the bride
had discreetly brought trunkful of her
own proper apparel with her, and that
she looked simply charming in a neat
walking suit and bonnet. Parson Fish
made man and wife of Hubert l.. Brown

The Rev. Philip S. Moxom, at a meeting
to raise money for a ''rescue home" said
that since his study of the work of the
Salvation Army in England he had had the
most profound respect and the deepest
sympathy for the Salvationists.
They keep the back door open for the
wanderer" he said, 'but this is only a
tithe of what they do. There has been
some fashionable stunning in Boston,
but delicate young ladies cannot handle
this work.
There are reasons why the Salvation
Army should establish tnis home. First,
the army wishes TO do X, and proposes to
do it without Kid gloves and without any
moral squeanishncss. They have the
nerve TO do it, Never in the history of the
church Of Christ has there been a body
which has had the courage to face the filth
of human nature as they have. They have
the fiber, and the discipline, and the reso-
luton to 90 where almost no one else can
go. They have demonstrated by expert
ence their ability to do this work"
Mr.. Moxom then described his visit to
Sydenham, at the great mass meeting of
100. 900 Salvationis& when converts testi-
fed to their conversion from the awful
sBattersea slums" 1t was the revelations
of that day which made Mr.. Moxom resolve
that whenever he could he would help the
Salvation Army. Il don't care" be said,
"how they dress, or what kind Of instru-
ments they play on, or If they stand on
their heads. The Salvation Army makes
up for its lax of funds by enthusiasm and
nervous strength and personal DEVOTION

now twisted into cord around her poor,
spare neck; with the faded remnant of

bony fingers of the left hand, and with her
right hand bare and red and numb with
cold; with her toes peeping through the
holes in her shoes like affrighted children
in deadhouse, and her stockings bespat-
tered with mud and incrusted in icicles;
with the remains of a once jaunty hat held
upon her poor, fevered head by little

The pawnbroking system of Boston

isn't anywhere else in the country a

patronage from that class almost exclu-

In the north and west end there is no
attempt made to determine the actual
value of an article that is presented by
a regular customer. have seen an old
blind fiddler who had traded for ten
years with a money lender go into tbs
pawnbroker's shop and get two dollars
on a pair of shoes that weren't worth
fifty cents. And the money lender would
have loaned him five dollars as willingly
as he gave two dollars, because the loan
was really such loan as one man would
give to an acquaintance, and the deposit
of the shoes simply covered the law.
The money lender said he hadn't lost
fifty dollars since he had been in the
business, and the loans were always paid
back. in some cases the borrower leaving
the goods until he wants another loaa.
This is family pawnbroking, aud the
brokers seldom lose anything. Half Of
the money lenders in Boston are of other
