The Salvation Army's movement
ven a strong impetus Sunday night
at the Presbyterian church. DR.. Lu-
kens, the pastor, had invited the To-
cal corps to come and hold one of
their characteristic meetings, and
when they had done this, entertain
ing the good sized audience in an
appropriate manner, the Presbyterian
pastor made an address in behalf of
the Army and it's crusade.
DR.. Lukens took for his text the
3Sth and SO tn verses of the 9th chap
ter of Mark in which Jesus told one
of his disciples to say nothing ag-
ainst any one who was doing His
work. declaring that any one who
did miracles in His name was above
rebuke, even though their manner be
different from the ways of the apos-
ties. From this scriptural basis. the
speaker showed in a forcible man
operating differently from the other
Christian churches, is accomplishing
a great good in Christian work, and
that it deserves the help and coop
Grafton of all Christians and sympa-
thizers with Christian work. He
brought the question down to Ros-
well itself and showed cases where
the Army has done many praisewor-
thy deeds right here in town.
In developing his text DIR. Lukens
brought out the facts that the Saliva
ton Army's great fundamental prin-
ciples are the same as those of the
other churches, and that while he
and many others do not choose their
noisy kind of religious worship, there
are many of a more enthusiastic ma
ture who would never be attracted
by the quiet kind of worship of the
older churches and are saved only
by the Army.
The great question that is interest
| ing the Salvation Army in Roswell
is that of securing a building in which
to make their headquarters and hold
meetings in bad weather. They have
secured a lot, but will need between
$500 and $4,000 to pay for it and
build their hall. DR.. Lukens told of
their plans and heartily endorsed
their work, asking his people to give
as literally as possible to the cause
and to take stock in an investment
that they could take with them after
death.

WATTERsoN ON ROOSEVELT.

1t is interesting to note the COM
ments made by southern papers on
President Roosevelt since his trip to
New Orleans. Without exception SO
far as known, the editorial references
have been highly complimentary and
so different from what might have
been expected only few years ago
that by reading them one realizes very
clearly the great change, as far as
sectionalism and the old bellicose SEN
timent Is concerned, that has come
over the south. COL Watterson, old
war horse that he is, pays a glowing
tribute to Mr.. Roosevelt in speaking
of the latter's address on Lee and
jackson delivered at Richmond. Mr..
Watterson says the speaker "bravely
put sectionalism and partyism beneath
his feet" and declares that nothing
finer was ever said. by Lincoln. Con-
tinuing, the Kentuckian's article says:
1T deserves, indeed, to be recorded
in letters Of gold alongside the Gettys-
burg speech, being at once an echo
and confirmation of that immortal ut
terance. Breathing such sentiments,
bearing such message, Theodore
Roosevelt becomes one Of us, which Is
only to say that we are all, all Ameri-
cans, equally proud of common coun-
try. equal heirs of it's sublime tradi-
tons, nor less loyal to the flag of the
union because we followed the flag of
the confederacy.
"The south has wandered forty
years through wilderness of section
alism for this vision of the promised
land of perfect nationality. 1t has
longed for some messiah of patriotism
and brotherhood to rise in the north
and to reach out to 1t the hand Of
equality having q heart in It, To Theo-
dore Roosevelt this happy lot has fall
en-, and, having fought him like a
man, the south sends the memory Of
all frictions to the rear and greets and
acclaims him as kinsman,"

The impotence of Count de White,
as the head of Russian ministry
which has not yet been formed, will
grieve his many American well-wish-
ers almost as deeply as it doubtless
does the friends of his own national
ity. 1t is impossible at this distance,
to understand that sort of patriotism
which impels one after another of
those who profess to sympathize with
the count to refuse place by his side
end to make with him an earnest and
concerted attempt to halt the riotous,
bloody and inhuman scenes being en-
acted in so many regions of the en-
Fire. 1t must seem to be assured that
if Count de White cannot speedily form
g ministry which will be of prompt eff
feet in suppressing disorder and COM
pelling patient waiting upon meet
ing of representatives of the people,
chosen under some mainly satisfactory
auspices, If not by the much demanded
universal suffrage, he will be COM
peeled to abandon the attempt. 1t is
somewhat remarkable that he has
been so tenacious in the face of such
encouragement, with it's consequent
chagrin,
