The church was brilliantly lighted with
innumerable candles and decorated
with flowers, vines and MOSES. The
specially dramatic features were the

in mourning robes, wearing crowns,

probation, and trust that you will re-
ceive it in the spirit in which it is
given.'

GIRL RECLAIMED FROM VICE
Queen of Bandit Gang Changes Life
 to One of Purity with Aid of Salvation Army.

At meeting held at Innergleithen re- gently, under the presidency of tha Master of Elibank, M P, Gen. Booth told the story of an Australian Salvation Army soldier who, as a girl of Is, was in the habit of smoking, drinking and gambling. She was known as the Queen of the Flying Angels gang of 36 men, who were terror to the com munity. Again and again she was in the hands of the police, and was regarded as incorrigible. One day she was handed over to the matron of Salvation Army rescue home, where at times she would work and behave well, while at other times she used to take the notion into her head of throwing about everything upon which she could lay her hands. For some while this continued, until eventually she changed her way. A situation was obtained for her, and she got on well until one of her old asso- ciates of the Flying Angels" discovered her and tried to entrap her. She wrote to her captain, who hurried off to see her, and advised her to go to another part of the country, which she did, and has never again been troubled by the Flying Angels.
