ARMY.

We all like occasionally to think
that We know something about the
spirit of self denial, of remuneration,
but the Salvation Army goes us n
better in having brought that spirit
to a world wide practical system. Dur
ing its annual week Of prayer and self
denial, now approaching. this mighty
organization for the uplifting of the
fallen, the comfort Of the cherries
and the salvation of all men gives it
self up to a study. systematic abnega-
| ton and self sacrifice, that when one
| considers how largely these elements
| enter into the every day life of these
enthusiastic workers for good rather
| put the rest of us to the blush.
The army is not selfish, however.
That is an accusation that now in its
| most misunderstood days n does not
remember to have heard brought
| against it. 1t gives its friends an OPP
| portunity to share in its labors and in
| the reward that always follows in the
consciousness of a right deed done.
The dates set for this years week of
prayer and self denial are April 5 to
IL inclusive. During that time every
Salvationist in the land will practice
the most rigid self-abnegation, gladly
yielding the proceeds for the exten
sion of the army work. Friends Of the
army-all who are believers in the gos
pei of going about and doing good are
invited to take part in this effort, and
as there are few people, indeed, in thi:
vicinity who are not friends of this
splendid organization. this paper ven
lures the prophecy that there will b'
a general acceptance of this invita-
tion.

GRABBING HE LAND.

Half a century ago the United States
had about 1000. 00O, 900 acres of pub
hc lands. Less than one-fourth of this
vast estate is now in the possession of
the government. According to the re-
port of the senate committee "the en-
tire public domain suitable for settle
ment will be exhausted and there will
be no land left for our people who de-
sire to make homes on it If our pres
ent system of land acts continues five
years longer" 1t appears from the in
vestigations of the committee that
while the land laws served a beneficent
PURPOSE at first. they are now utilized
to promote fraud. I'VE are making all
possible haste under u present land
acts" says the committee, ito turn
over to wealthy men and corporations
this rich heritage of the people. The
population of the United States, today
50. 0OO, 900, will probably reach 100000
900 in the next twenty-five years.
Where will this rapidly increasing pop
ulation find homes on the land If we
Permit the public domain to pass into
the possession Of men seeking to own
and control vast landed estates?"
