A SPECIAL BARGAIN IN

THE SALVATION ARMY.
It's Founder and Commander Now
 in This Country.
The Remarkable Career of Gen. William Booth-For Fifty Years He Has De- voted His Life to Systematic
 Missionary Work.

The visit of Gen. William Booth to this country is an event of greater in terest to more people than would be the visit of any other religious leader in Europe. Gen. Booth is the founder and the head of the Salvation Army, which was at first regarded by many people as travesty on religious organ ization, but he has lived to see it one of the greatest powers for Christian work in Europe and America, with it's influence rapidly extending to all parts of the world. The story of Gen. Booths life is the story of simple faith and charity that excluded no part of hu- manity.
 He was converted in the year 1S44 when he was fifteen years old, and for fifty years he has devoted his life to an effort for the salvation of others. He has literally followed the injunction of Jesus: 'sWhosoever will come after me let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow mes Gen. Booth has denied himself, has on three occasions left all, business and position, to cast himself upon God and do the work that came to his hand. In 1852 he took his first charge as minister in London with the ''reformers, sec tion of the Methodists, and undertook to live on an allowance of twelve shil- lings a week. He surrendered his busi- ness left by his father to do this. In 1861 he again went out into the world without a friend and without far thing to enlarge his evangelical work, and in 1865 he went forth alone to owork on the mile end waste in London, to go after the lost sheep in the greatest city in the world.
 His Christian mission in London from 1865 to 1878 was conducted on the plan afterward adopted for the Salvation Army. Then began his open-air meet ings; the continuous work with meet ings every night; the occupation of buildings and rooms ordinarily used for secular, if not vicious, purposes; utiliz- ing converts as soon as they were saved; marching a procession through the streets; the utilizing of women's abili,
