somewhere, sometime, whether we I'M
derstand or not.
The two and n half million converts
and the 5000 branches OF the Saliva
ton Army In forty-seven countries are
a tremendous accomplishment for a
single lifetime.
But it is not all. AT the age of 70,
and after sixty years of labor at the
head of the Salvation Army and the
Christian Mission. out OF which II
grew. General Booth has crowned
worldwide philanthropy with the
greatest of all practical philanthropies,
in the movement to establish the Door
of the cities on the vacant lands of the
earth, where they may find food, pur-
pose, health, hope, and become indie
pendent and good citizens.
The doctrine of the "landless man
to the manless land" was not an in
spiration. 1t was the result of long
study and Investigation OF conditions.
Mr.. Booth was Methodist minister
in his early years, and 1t did not take
him long to discover that there Is n
great class of people that the regular
churches cannot reach. He took re-
liglon into the streets and slums.
But he observed, too. that religion
alone cannot cure poverty and misfor.
tune and ignorance, which form great
social ccsspools In all large cities and
cause most of the woes OF humanity.
The treatment of these diseases In a
practical way is the browning purpose
of his life, and his method wherever
tried proved successful.
What ultimate, complete success may
mean for the happiness of the world is
