lecture last evening at Congress Hall.

the International Congress of the Sal

London last July. Colonel French,
with twenty-five other representatives
from the Pacific Coast, attended the
great gathering Of religious workers

ture last night was the first of a Sc
ries that will be given in various halls
about the city.
Colonel French was busy with a
camera from the time he left San
Francisco for London until he return

entertainingly with stereopticon views.
He showed the marching Salvationists
in the parade of 10000 men and wom-
en- that was reviewed by General
Booth and many other interesting
views gathered on his travels. The
International Congress told of the
wonderful stride the army has made
in its thfrty-eight years of existence,
and in his lecture Colonel French
made this point strong and built
high hopes for the future.
