slums could get into either Scottish or
Congress halls. as any number who tried
it found. The general was giving his
soldiers points on sin-fghting and did not
care to have his plans dlvulged to the
enemy.

early in speckless uniforms, as BELTS SOL

The first thing In the morning the gen.
eral held what might properly be called a
council of war. None but field and staff
officers were admitted to Scottish Hall,
and the brass band, which has been such a
distinct feature of the previous meetings
during jubilee week. was not in it.
For an hour an d half the general and
his officers were In consultation as TO the
plan of campaign on The stronghnlds of sin
In California, and. although nothing was
given out. the officers when seen later
seemed to be satisfied with the programme
At the conclusion of the consultation
General Booth talked on the general con-
dition of the army throughout the world,
and incidentally was fair to compliment
the garrison in San Francisco for its good
showing.
At the second meeting in Scottish Hall
in the aftern DON the privates, who had
anxiously been waiting for the hour,
fiocked in with staff and field officers, the
brass band was stationed in a favored
position and the simmons concertina was
allowed 10 draw its musical length. The
general put in an early appearance, and
they had, all to themselves, regular hal
leluiah time. They sang and they prayed,
the brass band played and the tam BOURNE
sounded. Then General Booth told the
rank and file all about the army, and gave
a general outline of the work to be done in
the future by it, more. particularly as il
bore on California.
In the evening there was somewhat
similar meeting in Congress Hall at the
Salvation Army headquarters, very largely
attended. The general exhOrted his fol-
lowers to stand by the cOlors, and called
upon the recruits to press forward on the
narrow path.
The evening was concluded in song and
prayer for the welfare of the general and
