room entrances. The far away melody
perhaps smote the ears of dissipated
lookingswOmen and unkempt children
fitting to and fro with cans of beer in
their hands. They paused an instant
and passed on.
A bedecked and bejeweled woman of
the slums, extremely youthful, whose
face and figure were bewitching before
she strayed from her mothers side and
became STEPPED in vice, passed along
the street.
The words of an old melody, sung by
her mother, caught her ear. She
paused an instant, looked wistfully> at
the singer, then passed onward toward
the slums.
After tie services the "cadet" took

songs, and the music going. The
crowd followed. People came to
the doors of saloons, looked out, laugh
ed, and few fell in with the process
sion that was headed toward the hall
of the army on North Stanton street
By the time services began there
nearly every seat was taken. There
were no stained glass windows or
cushioned pews, but the crowd sat on
hard wooden benches without backs
and looked at the bare walls and the
altar made of pine strips.
The exercises in the hall were simil-
ar to those on the street. The crowd
was indeed prOmiscuous gathering
Most of them, no doubt. attended
merely to crafty curiosity. There
were women of almost every station in
life; some who had dropped in on
their way home from "prayer meet
ing' and some from the streets, who
came because they had nowhere else
to go just then.

requested that some provision be made
TO supply some. The matter was re,
ferred to the building committee and
the question of q fire plug at the new

AS there was some objection to the
purchase of furniture Mr.. Badger ex-

Mr.. Drummer said he was ready to
order the fire plug put in without de-

time they appeared upon the street un-

The soldiers left the hall at 7:3O

The woman carried guitar and the
man q cymbal. They made music as
they went, the child join
ing in the singing. At q
prominent corner the trio halted
in the street near the curb. A consi-
derable crowd, attracted by the music
ians, trooped at their heels as they
passed along and drew up around them
in semi-circle when they halted.
A brief street service took place.
The woman sang solo accompanying
the same with her guitar. The crowd
became interested and drew nearer.
The song foated on the night air to dis
