SALVATION ARMY CONGRESS.
General Booth Has Been offered an
Island for Colonization.


LONDON, July AT the Salvation
Army congress here last night the au-
dience which greeted General Booth
was perhaps the most representative
which he has yet addressed.
General Booth said that the social
scheme OF the Army had proved an
emphatic success. After enumerating
the official records relating to crimi-
nails and paupers, giving startling fig
ures for London alone, he reported
that there had been great increase in
the effective work and outlined plans
for the prevention of pauperism in
entirely due to the consumption of al
cohol. He said that if the government
would turn over the care of the pau
pers to the Salvation Army they would
find work and relief for all and save
the immense sums of money which
were now expended on relief.
In the course of his address General
Booth referred TO his plans for secur-
ing land for industrial centers and
stated that he had that morning been
offered an island. but that he would
not disclose its location. The island he
said, was about 300 square miles and
in climate splenddly suited for the
purposes of Salvation Army COLOMBIA.

London Is giving an especially hearty
reception to the American delegation
attending tue congress
1--WE expected to be treated as other
delegations when we sailed, said Colo
mel French of San Francisco. "Now
we are treated by the English as at
least third cousins. We receive hospi-
tality on every side"
The New York staff band was invited
by the London county council to play
ON the Thames embankment. Ameri-
can airs were rendered to the delight
of thousands, who applauded heartily.
The members of the band looked OK
tremcly picturesque in cowboy cos
tunes. with American cOlorS on the
shoulder straps. The stars and stripes
waved aloft while the band played.
The American delegation, headed by
the band, marched during the after
noon from International hall to Exeter
hall, not far distant, on the Strand.
Large crowds gathered the moment the
delegation appeared and followed the
column to the hall, cheering along the
route.
A memorial service has been held for
the late Colonel Richard Evans of Bos-
ton, who died two weeks ago. The last
words of Evans, which were mes
sage to the Salvation Army, We're read
producing a profound impression. Com
mander Booth Tucker, the head of the
American delegation, spoke in behalf
of the American branch of the Army.
Referring touchingly to the work of
his wife and other members of the
Army who have died recently, the com
mander said that the history of their
lives must spur others to emulate their
example.

Has not Bennington made mistake
of late years in making so much of
the 4th of July and so little of the
10th of August? 1t was not so in years
gone by. Then the 10th was Benning-
tons great day, Bennington seemed
to remember then that, without the
10th of August there would have been
no 4th of July for anybody to cele-
brate.

WHEN THE WORLD IS AT ITS BEST.

Along with the news of the more strenuous sort,
with the stories of war and politics and finance
and industry, should it not also be now recorded
that we have come upon the most glorious weather
of all the year-a time when it would "be Paradise
enow" to spend ones time just Giving out doors
and being happy?" The nights are just cool
enough to make sleeping a JOY and the days are
just warm enough to make the sunshine a bene-
diction. 1t is of such a season that Emerson
speaks in a paragraph well worth reprinting here:
"These are days X X X wherein the world
reaches it's perfection; when the air, the heavenly
bodies, and the earth make a harmony, as if Ma
ture would indulge her offspring, when \ 4
everything that has life gives signs of ~satisfac-
ton, and the cattle that lie on the ground seem
to have great and tranquil thoughts. \ X The
air is full of birds, and sweet with the breath of
pine, the balm-of-G ileads, and the new hays. Night
brings no gloom to the heart with it's welcome
shade. Through the transparent darkness the
stars pour their almost spiritual rays. Man I'M
der them seems a young child, and his huge globe
a toy. The cool night bathes the world as with a
river, and prepares his eyes again for the crimson
dawn"
It is at such a time as this, too, that the towns
man needs to quit the office for a day or two and
go back to the woods-and if he is a country-bred
townsman he will hardly be able to resist the
temptation. As DR.. Charles III. Spurgeon has so
beautifully said:
"He who forgets the h%umming of the bees
among the heather, the cooling of the wood pigeons
in the forest, the song Of Che birds in the woods,
the ripping of rills among the pushes, and the
signing of the wind among the pines, need not
wonder if his heart forgets to sing and his soul
grows heavy. A days breathing of fresh air upon
the hills, or a few hours ramble in the beech
woods outrageous calm, would sweep the cob
webs out of the brain of scores of toiling men
who are now but half alive"

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

To believe your own thought,to believe that what
is true for you in your private heart, is true tor
all men-that is genius. Speak your latent con-
viction and it shall be the universal sense; for
always the inmost becomes the outmost.--and our
first thought is rendered back to us by the trum-
pets of the Last Judgment. Familiar as the voice
Of the mind is to each, the highest merit we ascribe
to Moses. Plato, and Milton, is that they set at
naught books and traditions, and spoke not what
men, but what they, thought. A man should learn
to detect and watch that CLEAN of light which
flashes across his mind from within, more tnan tne
1ns+re Of the armament of bards and sages.-
From Emerson's Essay on "Self Reliance"

CITY PHILANTHROPY VS.. RURAL PHILAN-
THROPY.

THROPY
The Charlotte Observer in a very courteous and
straightforward reply to our editorial of last week
admits that there is nothing in the charge that
the so-called "Ogden movement" is going to do
harm by meddling with the negro problem. But
the Observer is very much afraid that this accept
ance of money to aid our rural schools will weak
en- the character of the Southern white man. It
repeats in substance it's editorial Of some weeks
ago: "The South has been in hard lines. 1t may
be that it had no business to go to war In 1861.
1t may be that that was a grievous fault, but II
so, grievously has it answered it. Let it go. Four
years after the beginning, it had nothing to look
upon except a scene of utter devastation, and
the situation it confronted was one of utter pow
erty and apparent hopelessness. No helping hand
was outstretched to it then-no hand held food
to it's hungry mouth, much less offered to establish
schools to educate itsc hildren. And it was better
so. The indomitable spirit of the race remained,
and it scrambled to it's feet, somehow"
Now the fact is that it is no new thing for
Southern education to
minded men of wealth in other sections. George
Peabody gave to the public schools of the South
So, 100000 and nearly another 81, 600, 900 to the
Peabody Institute in Baltimore. to Washington
College in Virginia, and to other Southern educa-
IlOud1 0uGoIprISGS. Au0So S14GS USSdu IL low.
Slater gave 81, OOO,O 900 in 1882 to the education
of the colored people," But the Peabody Fund
affords the closest analogy for the Observers
proposition. This fund has been used in stimulat-
ing and strengthening nearly every city public
school system in the Southland nobody has yet
claimed that the citizens of Raleigh or Charlotte
or Goldsboro or Spartanburg or Columbia have
been injured in character by this cooperation
with the Peabody Board. Nor has the Observer
ever seen in the Peabody Fund any "insiduous at
tack upon the high Ririt of the Southern white
man."
Why then should it protest so strenuously
against having the General Education Board
working in harmony with our own Southern edu-
cational leaders, spend such money as may be
given it in helping rural public schools in the
South, just as the Peabody Fund has been used
in helping our city public schools? Are our city
people so strong in character that outside aid does
not affect them injuriously, while to our country
people such assistance would be ruinous?
So long as the General Education Board works
Through Southern men, in harmony with South
ern conceptions, and In conformity with the edu-
cational system of our Southern States" it's plan
for aiding rural education, in our opinion, de-
serves the same hearty encouragement that was
given the Peabody movement in urban education.
