was the sign for a remarkable demon
stration. The audience rose as one
man, fiuttering handerchiefs and pro-
grammes and cheering for several min
utes while the bands and organ added
harmonious note to this thunderous
welcome. The white bearded veteran,
accompanied by Mrs. Booth and the
international headquarters staff, stood
bowling his acknowledgements until the
uproar ceased.
A spectacular feature of the meeting
followed in the form of a review of the
various departments of the Salvation
Army. These marched I'm and crossed
the stage, saluting the general as they
passed, each department bearing a dis
tinctive banner and wearing costumes
| according to the various branches of
work in which the members We're en-
gagged.
The general spoke touchingly on the
| receptio naccorded to him through
out America and the reference he made
to the kindliness of his reception by
President Roosevelt and the dstinc-
| tion shown him as the representative
of the Salvation Army by the United
States Congress, evoked repeated ap-
plause.
81 like the American" said the
| general, "and believe he liked me
| He is willing to risk something to gair
his end and does not let prejudice OF
| tradition stand in his way"
