how he had been brought to know and love
Christ by the Salvation Army The officers
and the other soldiers said "amen' and

like saying so too.

a famous tenor, would come from New

Tuesday night. Mr.. Bjorksten was Chris

very fine and will add much to the meet
ing at the Congregational Church tonight.
EnsignMarshall taught the audience another
army hymn, and then asked Mr.. Macfarland
70 say a few words for the Auxiliary
League.
Mr.. Mcfarland said he was glad ne was
a member of the Auxiliary League. because
that was the next best thing to being a
member of the Salvation Army, which he
believed to be Christs army doing Christ S
work in Christ's spirit. To know 1t was
to love 1t and to want to help it. The way
to help was to join the Auxiliary League
Ensign Marshall emphasized what Mr.
mcfarland said by telling a little more
about the Auxiliary League. the link be-
tween the churches and the army made
up Of those sympathizing with the army
though not necessarily approving it's every
method and inviting those present who
were not members to join.
Then she introduced Mrs. Major Perry,
who came forward playing her guitar sus-
pended by a red ribbon around her neck
and singing a simple little hymn to quaint
army tune, which stirred the heart When
she had finished the song she laid the
guitar aside and told a little of her expert
ence. with her husband, in starting the
army work in Denmark. She captured the
audience at once, entertained and i'm
pressed them, spoke with humor and pathos
and sat down before her hearers had
enough. But the rule of the army forbids
long speeches or anything else that might
be tedious, and a veteran like young Mrs.
Major Perry never forgets the army rules
Ensign Marshall brought the meeting grad

at the meeting Tuesday night at the Con-

hearts of her hearers. having the audience
sing an exquisite army hymn and finally
Offering a most fervent prayer, which she
closed with the benediction. Many of the

EtiQuette for n Guest.
From the Philadelphia Times.


Punctuality at meals, a proposal to with
draw to ones room under the pretext of
letter writing If ii be suspected that the
hostess has something to occupy her par
ucularly or even to relieve her of our con-
unuous society, readiness to be easily
amused or interested, all contribute toward
making welcome guest An unselflsh
spirit Is always the best guide. The room
allotted to visitors is generally a dainty one
and often contains choice articles which re-
Quire careful use Often cherished belong
ings are taken from accustomed places to
minister to a guests comfort or pleasure
A guest Will, of course keep the room in an
orderly manner and handle its pretty ac-
cessories with due regard to their delicacy.
some people seem to think that because
they are visitors they need only be the re-
cipients of attention, making little or no
effort themselves to be entertaining, while
others are the life of the house
1t Is one of the unwritten laws of court
esy that guest shall hold his or her tai
ents, accomplishments or powers of enter
tanning at the service of the hostess and be
ready with cheerful alacrity but with no
shade OF ostentation, to comply with the
slightest fntimation on her part of her de-
sire for assistance. Every one should be
able to make some contribution to the gem
eral enjoyment.

of Odin. the god of war, who in this con-

care OF his drinking horns, and wait upon
him at table; but their chief duty is to go
at his bidding, array themselves in shinin;
armor, and ride to the scene of battle TO
sway the victory and to choose those who
are to be slain. Poets represent them as
being received gladly by the hero 20 whom
they appear. for he knows that they have
come to invite him to Valhal, the soldier
