An eyes in the Salvation Army circles
centre now upon their coming self
denial week. self-denial week. so called
because officers, corps, soldiers ana
friends, join in an united effort during
the week set apart for the purpose 10
deny themselves of some article of food
or other comfort. and with the money
thus saved create a fund for the benefit
of the army's work in their home ana
missionary field. II il a remarkable
fact. the accomplishment OF which
ought 10 make the army rejoice. that
throughout the world by this effort over
100000 We're raised last year. With
the economy that is practlced by the
army Il Is not difficult TO reckon the tre-
mendous good that can be accomplished
with these funds. The army will send
its officers and soldiers 20 nearly every
home in the United states during the
days from March 10 TO 26 inclusive The
peope will be urged TO deny themselves
in some practical way and thus contri-
butte. however small. may be the sum,

GEN. SHERMAN AND THE POPE,

Some of Gen. Shermans experiences
on his tour of Europe i'm 1S71-'2 were
highly diverting. Extracts from the
diary i'm which he recorded them are

offered to take us to see the Pope and

conducted up high flight of stairs. and
through a series of rooms to what is
called the throne-room, where some
eight or ten persons mostly priests,
were i'm waiting. Soon the Pope came
out of his own apartment. and all in
honor knelt. We bowed lowed with one
knee and saw the others kiss the
Popc's hand and foot. As he came to
us, Mgr. Chatard mentioned our names
and country. when the Pope asked us
TO rise, and entered into quite free
conversation with us. He then turned

the rooms by which we had approached

The trading stamp scheme came
among us unsolicited; upon it's depar-
ture there should be no restraint. II
is unusual. indeed, that special legis-
lation by the law makers OF the state
should be required 10 meet the condi-
tions which the trading stamp scheme
has developed and which To many per-
sons do not seem to be at all desirable.
Such movement for the suppression
of the trading stamp scheme seems
TO magnify It's Importance as a
public evil and il remains for the law
makers 10 decide if their interference
is warranted or is really necessary. The
State OF Massachusetts, has legislated
the scheme out of It's borders and the
law making capacity OF our neighbor-
ing commonwealth Is more often than
not good model for any state to fol-
low. But IL would seem as though the
business men themselves ought TO be
able to kill off the scheme If il is so
undesirable without appealing to courts
or Assembly TO come 10 their relief.
