POVERTY, SIN, AND SORROW AND HOW THEY ARE
MINIMIZED THROUGH WORK OF SALVATION ARMY
By FREDERICK BOOTH-TUCKER, Commander.

The work of the Salvation Army deals
with the wees and the welfare of the poor
and the sinful. In our lectures We at
tempt to portray in picture, song, and
living tableaux the scope, significance,
and great Importance of our labor. The
conception of the lecture, Dramatic
Scenes of Love and Sorrow" sprang from
the often expressed desire that those in
terested in the poor could witness with
their own eyes episodes. which would not
fail to touch their hearts and stir their
sympathies. Then came the thought. Why
not place before the public SO realistic a
portrayal of those scenes that in spirit
at least they would traverse with us those
mysterious mazes of poverty, of sin, and
sorrow?
Unhappily, my dear wife, who was the
author of the conception of the lecture
in all its minute: details, has been pre-
vented by Illness from delivering it. New
ertheless, she has commissioned me to
take her place.
The lecture commences with vivid
description of the need-the working
man-5O per cent attending no place of
worship in this country-SO and 80 per

cent in other countries-hence our open
air meetings and saloon visitation; the
workless and homeless classes, followed
by the song of the hobo.
Descriptive pictures of slum life are
followed by a representation of the Ma
donna of the slums-the poor woman
whose husband has gone to the Klon-
dixie or lumber camps. and who is strug-
Cling bravely and honestly to keep the
wolf from the door.
Pictures of few of the 207 institutions
in the United States, where accommoda-
tion for 5000 poor persons has been pro-
vided, follow in quick Succession, includ-
ing 4 description of the fifty Industrial
Homes, where work to the value OF $780,
900 was turned gu. last year by the IN
employed.

THREE SIMPLE HYMNS.
Sung by the Congregation Of IA Fash
ionnbIe Episcopal Church.

The unexpected in secular affairs is not
more striking than in the church.
Not long ago" said churchgoer, our
friends, the Methodists. which denomina-
tion. next to the Baptist. is considered the
most democratic in its church govern
ment, caused quite a stir by suggesting
the expurgstion from their hymn book of
some of the old hymns which are dear to
all good people.
Now the Episcopal Church, don't
mean the high wing-is generally sup
posed to be a little exclusive in its serv-
ice. You will find hymns in the hymnal
of the Episcopal Church which you won't
find in any other denominations. At the
same time, here and there, you will find
one which your grandparents sang.
Last Sunday | was in a pew of one OF
the most fashionable Episcopal churches
in Fifth Avenue. When the rector an
nounced the number of the hymn and
opened my book thought he had made a
mistake. But the second the organist
touched the keys and the old tune flooded
the great church | knew he hadn't.
Then the congregation stood up and
following the choir. it made the old
familiar Methodist hymn by Wesley, "A
Charge to Keep ] Have, hli the auditor
ium and galleries.
Then there was more reading of the
Scripture incidental to the service and
the rector announced another hymn. Once
more my eyes fell upon hymn familiar
TO nv childhood. And the old tune and
words of Sir John Bowrng, 'Watchman,
Tell Us of the Night welled up from
organ. choir, and congregation.

If our Methodist brethren could have

these aid hymns they would rise up in

capital and thereby converting the trinity

also described. The ordinary system of
pauperology wh leaks up the poor
mans family Is -sted with a system
which takes the stranded family intact
out of the city and places it on the rich
irrigated lands of the West and makes it
a home-owner. The fallacy that they
won't go, stay, work, or pay" is exposed
and contradicted.
That rapid progress has been made in
these various departments may be judged
from the facts that six years ago We had
in the United States 620 corps, outposts
and social relief institutions for the poor.
We have now 900 such; our officers and
employees have been increased from 1000
to 5000; our annual income for social re-

A WARNING TO MOTHERS.
Babies Should Not he Allowed sS
Walk Too Soon.

Mothers in teaching their little ones
how to walk do not stop to think how
the bones grow. The bones in a baby's
legs are soft, half cartilaginous, and very
easily hent out of their proper shape.
Care should be taken not to allow a child
to walk too soon, and, above all. not to
keep him on his feet for too long a time,
or when he is at all tired. When he is
ready he will try of his own accord. and
he generally knows what he is about.
Urging a child to walk prematurely is
productive of lasting injury, as bow legs
are only too easily formed. Let child
creep as long as wants to. Give him
plenty of room to kick around in. and he
will be Strengthening his muscles and
getting ready for work. Suppose he il
backward about walking, what difference
does 1t make? A child who follows his own
ideas In learning to walk will succeed
much better, and learn self-reliance at
the same time.
The same rule holds good in regard
to sitting up. II he is forced to sit up
too soon it will have tendency to
weaken his back and interfere with his
growth. Older children should be taught
to sit erect. When tired insist upon
child lying down instead OF sliding down
in the chair until he is literally sitting
on the end of his spine. Such a habit
is easily formed and hard to correct. re-
sulting in a poor carriage, bad form.
and narrow chest.
If you observe such a child you will
find he suffers from dizziness and head
ache, as the curved form of the spine re-
suits in a pulling of the muscles at the
back of the neck, and the difficulty is
certain to be removed il the child Is
taught to sit properly.-United States

PICTURES" Seen
In POSTOFFICE.
They Are Found in Mexican
Onyx Wainscoting.
MOST ATTRACTIVE TO VISITORS.

The City Postoffice Building is admired
daily by crowds of people for its massive
ness, the lavish and rich style in which
the lobby is fitted up, with it's tessallated
fioors the rich oak woodwork, the heavy
bronze electric light chandeliers, and the
beautiful Mexican multi-colored. onyx
wainscoting.
tions to sightseers, and every day groups
of visitors may be seen closely scanning
the delicate veins of the onyx in their en-
deavors to find the pictures of which
they had heard.
"Pictures" in Onyx.
Some of the most wonderful and pecu-
liar discoveries of pictures" have been
made by people who spend their time in
the big building. The officers and watch
men on detail at the postoffice will point
out number of more or less perfect
pictures in the onyx.
On the south side of the Twelfth Street
entrance. just over the door of the reg
istry division, there is to be seen in the
marble large cat in a sitting posture.
This is regarded as the best picture of all.
The cat has large eyes, well-formed
ears, and fine set of furs." Leaning
over the cat is a woman, who, with head
bent down, appears to be looking at the
animal. All day long persons can be seen
admiring this freak of nature.
Miniatures on n Slab.
Near the door of the office of Postmas-
ter Merritt. on the north side, is a slab
of onyx that bears number of fine mini
atures. There is lady just as beautiful
and lovely as any Washington belle.
Another picture is that of an Irishman
with the hat his father wore and a
retrousse nose. Mr.. Witte. who is on
guard at Postmaster Merritts door. leans
up with his chair against the sem0lance
of a tall lady who is dressed in evening
gown. with her hair falling over her back
in rich flowing masses.
Another slab shows a duck in q pool of
water. The face of a man looking
straight out can be seen in another onyx.
New discoveries of pictures" are made
every day These pictures have the ad-
vantage over those that are found around
the large pillars at the Pension Office and
whose fame extends all over the country.
in that they are the products of nature,
whereas the Pension Office pictures are
the creations of the painters brush.
