Commander Booths long right arm
rose toward heaven. "Sing," he cried,
and they did.

For an hour this goes on. Young

Then a hush comes over the crowd,
while their leader, leaning we'll for

He speaks very slow at first, and with
some hesitation. Then he grows more
eloquent and earnest, and suddenly in
the middle of sentence he stops, and.

When she has ended the music begins
again, and to strains of great, Joyous

A man rises from his seat and slow

Then another, and still another, come
forward while the refrain is sung, each
time louder and clearer than the last.
Then woman rises. She is richly
dressed. There can be no mistake
about her. Her terrible sin has left
its seal upon her face. Half walking,
half falling, the woman makes her way
forward and falls on her knees. In
stantly by her side there is young
woman in the garb Of the army. Her
arm is about the Magdalen's neck, her
check pressed close to hers. There

The sun had begun to crawl up out
of the eastern horizon by this time,
and the candle was snuffed out. The
woman eyed the young woman and her
companion suspiciously for few
minutes. Finally. she recognized the
slum uniform of the Salvation Army,
for she said, surlily:
"Ye're one o. them Salvationers?"

Instantly every one in that huge
place knelt. They did not bow their
heads, but fell upon their knees The
prayer was short. Then, with o
bound, Commander Booth was on his
feet again.
"Now," he said, with glad ring in
his voice, 1--WE will sing. want

Using his long arm as baton.
Commander Booth stood half turned
toward the people, and half toward
the band, leading both in this song,
which was sung with great strength,
the voices rising loud and clear and
triumphant:
Oh, what o redeemer is Jesus, my Saviour,
Forgiving my sins and healing my woe:

TXI ITH the coming Of the
N news that Commander
Y v ndMrs. Ballington Booth
were to be relieved of
their command of the American branch
of the Salvation Army, there has arisen
once more discussion, more or less
public, in regard to the work done by
that large organization.
With the merits or demerits Of the
Salvation Army it is not the purpose
of this article to deal. The matter
has been argued and discussed pro
