BOOTHS ARE COMING.
Commander and Mrs. BalIington Booth
at Elm Park Church Thursday Night.
10 American Volunteers Interest.

Mr.. and Mrs. Ballington Booth are
coming to Scranton. They will be
present at n meeting to be arranged
for them In Elm Park church Thursday
night
Commander and Mrs. Booth come in
the interest OF the American Volun-
teers, the religious evangelical organi-
z ton, the birth OF which followed the
recent trouble in the ranks Of the Sal
walton army. Their presence here will
be due to the efforts of Colonel Pattie
Watkins. who recently conducted
meetings here in the First Presbyter-
ian church and on the West Side. The
commander and his wife will probably
be accompanied by several of the head
quarters staff.
The Scranton post Of the Volunteers
recently began its meetings under the
leadership Of Captain Masland and
Lieutenant Green in large tent on
Linden street, opposite the court house,
and since the meetings began there has
been noticed an intense rivalry between
the Volunteer supporters and the par
ent organization, the SalvatiOnists,
whose barracks are located on the West
Side. The aim of the Volunteers has
been to raise funds with which to es-
tablish permanently a hall in the busi-
ness section Of the central city. 1t is
expected that the visit Of the Balling-
tom Booths will give the Volunteers a
prestige and a start in that direction.

Of every citizen and friend of the coun-
try. To make 1t a day Of jollification
and mirth: day Of pleasure and sport,
Is a blot on the fair name Of our people;
and none too soon can steps be taken to
check the course of those who
seek to divert the true pur-
poses for which this day has
heen set apart. This Is n day dedicated
to the memory Of our soldier dead, and
should be a day of solemnity and rev.
erent respect for those who have done
so much for our land. They deserve
and ought TO have q first place in the
hearts OF the people who richly enjoy
the dearly bought privileges which their
blood and valor have won.
And it takes something more than
mere sentiment TO espouse the cause of
war. and give up the comforts and en-
joyments of happy home with its sur
rOundings and possessions to go forth
you know not where TO suffer and endure
hardship and destitution for years with
an uncertainty hanging over you as to
the result. And now, having rendered
this Office of love to those to whom this
day has been dedicated let US turn our
faces toward the future. The earthly
sun of many of US has already passed at
high meridian and now seeks the
western sky; but cur day Is not yet
done. nor have we. as yet. gained our
discharge from duty.
In the present conflict let us be men
and women in ali that those words i'm

exalt and ennoble the human family,
So that when the final summons comes
to us we may take place in the ranks
