with smallpox in India.
One Of the wagons was drawn by two
horses and the other by one, and on each
Of the animals there was a profusion OF
sleigh bells, which jingled merrily as the
ment was calculated to attract much atten-
tion, 1t was not to themselves that the Sal

realized that there cannot be too much ad-

and have service of one day there. In
none OF the above places are there at this
time any Salvation Army posts, but II q
