VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA.

The people are beginning Ia realize
that this Is a truly American movement
organized for the evsngelizstIon OF the
masses; Incorporated under the laws OF
this country and headquarters II New
York City. The movement was organ
izei only a little over a year ago, and
has had a more rapid growth than any
similar organization anywhere. starting
With one man and his wife, Commander
and Mrs. Ballin1ton Booth II mas now
nearly four hundred commissioned of
fcers, whose whole time is given TO the
work, and over two hundred organized
posts, with between forty and fifty en-
pioyes a. its headquarters IN New York
City, owning Its OWL printing presses
and publishing a large weekly paper
called the Volunteer Gazette with
a circulation OF almost thirty thousand.
The leaders OF the movement believe n
America for Americans, II spiritual as
well as temporal matters The converts
made IL their meetings are advised 70
seek a home with some church. and also
10 work With the Volunteers. The Vol
unreers are auxiliary TO the churches,
and all members Of churches a also be
members Of the Volunteers without
ssvering their church relationship.
They have also adopted the ordinances
OF Baptism and the Lords Supper, be-
lieving them TO be IN accord with the
command Of their Lord SO I do. Their
motto Is For God and Country Their
hall Is on Twelfth street, east Of the
State Bank. Meeting every night at s
O'Clock. Everybody made welcome.
In our talk with one Of the Volunteers
We gather foregoing OF their principles,
and their work here. There Is undoubt-
eddy OOH and welcome for people who
are earnest. sincere. persistent and
knowing. as these people are.
There are phases OF life that they have
passed through. and they. one and all.
speak OF their experience with the dark
ness and pain and misery Of sin. and
their escape from It's tolls.
1t Is this fervent. heartfelt evidently
honest sentiment that attracts attention.
There are those who are fighting
against foes who to them seem o~verpov-
ering. and under adverse circumstances
that seem 70 them Insurmountable. ard
without hope they are trying TO make
their way through the world. II they
could have hope 10 begin a better life: 70
quit their wrong thinking and their
wrong doing. some all-absorbIng passion
for good. il would be their temporal and
everlasting good fortune.

disappear:
