The surface of a sponge is covered
with little holes that are larger at
the top than at the bottom, while the
whole mass contains system Of chan
nels. When the animal is alive water
is kept flowing constantly through
these channels by means of minute
hair-lil1e appendages, which the little
polyps agitate. The water thus drawn
in brings with it the food required
for the sustenance of the sponge.

Cause of the Rupture.

Gen. William Booth planted the
seed from which the Salvation Army
has grown, and he has lived to see
it the greatest religious organization
OF modern times, so far as work
among the lower and criminal classes
is concerned. For IL years Balling-
ton Booth was the commander in
chief of the Salvation Army, and
about five years ago, when he dis
agreed with his father, he severed
his connection with the Salvation
as the Volunteers of America. The
rupture between the father and son
caused widespread discussion
The primary cause of the rupture
was the refusal of Ballington Booth
to obey his father when the latter is
sued an order transferring him from
the head of the Salvation Army in
the United States to the head of the
army in Canada. The word "obev"
means the same in the Salvation
Army as it does in the regular army.
and when Ballington Booth refused
to obey the orders to go to Canada
he was obliged to relinquish his po-
sition. He then formed the rival or
ganization-the Volunteers of Amer
lea.
Commander Booth Tucker, the
son-in-law of Gen. William Booth, was
called from his post in India and
placed at the head of the Salvation
Army in America to succeed Balling-
ton Booth.

Is Absolute Ruler.

The army is organized in 40 ma
tions. The rules and regulations are
the same in all. The nature of the
work is the same in all. The one alb
solute ruler is Gen. William Booth.
He Las advisers, but they have no
power at all. He can remove them.
Every man, woman and child in the
army is under his rule. He can lift
them up or put them down, as he
chooses. There is no appeal from
any order he cares to make. Under
his auspices more than 100000 reli-
gious meetings are held every year.
There have been very few revolts
against his authority. There was one
other besides the one led by Balling-
ton Booth. That was in 1888. 1t was
led by Thomas E. Moore, who was
commander, and was dismissed be-
cause he would not obey orders. It
was not successful.

1t is wonderful how stupid and blum

four provinces governments were es-

bellion. It was only last April or May
the civil governments were installed

four are Batangas, Cebu. Samar and
