This made it possible to add a thousand bags to the amount usually distributed. In' the afternoon occurred the annual Christmas tree and the distribution of more than 5000 toys to children. Commander Booth said that the poor children had suffered more this year than last as the price of food and rents have been advanced.

What path he had taken in thunder proclaim
One sought for the Standard it lay on the ground
Sore tramped and grimy but still whole and sound:
he tenderly raised it and held it on high +,
With flame in his cheek and tears in his eve
"Behod I!' he cried tears and wrath in his voice.
See what they have done to the King of your choice
O the sin and the shame of the wrong they have done
10 fairest of Standards beneath the fair sun %

Through highways and by-ways his people among;

The King and His Standard are calling for you"
Fall in from your hidings the wide country Ger
And stand for the Standard that goeth before'
