". &. A, building was the most unique
thing of the kind ever held in this city.
Thirty or forty men and women occupied
the platform in the auditorium, nearly all
armed with some implement of music.
There were vlolins, tambourines and
hornes galore. Those who had no musical
instruments clapped their hands at the
proper time. Enthusiasm reigned Supreme
Major Sully called on different ones to
make short talks No one refused or
asked to be excused. Each one responded
to his or her name in a brief expI ession of
their feelings, and the hope that when
they were called upon to cross the silent
river that it would be with no poignant
sorrow at leaving those whom they loved
behind, because they had faith in
glorious meeting of friends beyond
the skies. Many excellent things
were said. Captain Ieager of
Oklahoma City. convulsed the congregs-
tion continuously by his witty remarks.
Tie music was the peculiar feature Of the
evening. and was of the most stirring aid
enlivsniug nature possible. No one can
afford TO miss these meetings, as the in
terest from the first never ceases. and the
peculiar cuarm about it all makes il ex-
ceedingly attractive. The Salvation Army

pains are taken to make strangers feel a;
home, and to enjoy the services 10 the
fullest extent.
