the organization and military uniforms
and titles were adopted. From that
time forward the movement spread
tremendously. In 1880 it reached the
United States. Now the Salvation Ar
my is fighting on the five continents of
the sphere, there are 1000 army corps
and 10000 officers, and the orders of
the commanding general are delivered
In thirty-one languages. There are fif-
ty-eight magazine and weekly publ
cations controlled by the army in twen-
ty-four tongues, including our familiar
old friend the War Cry.
And General Booth is the supreme
boss of the whole establishment-nex
to the Lord Almighty.
But this is not all-not by half. Gen.
eral Booth is yet unsatisf1ed. He
comes to the United States with still
bigger notions. Three vast projects,
new things, he has in mind. One is
already we'll advanced-that Of reliev-
ing the congestion of great cities by
establishing colonization centers not
far away to which f1t families and in
dividuals from the submerged tenth
may be sent and where they may be
helped into buying little homes for
themselves and making living out Of
the soil. One of these colonies is in
full blast in the south Of England.
Others are likely to spring up near the
big cities of the United States.
Vast Colony Plan In Africa.
Another colonization scheme calcu-
lated to make even the late Cecil
Rhodes breathe faster. is just taking
root in South Africa Cecil Rhodes
himself, in fact, helped the general to-
ward this project by providing him
with a vast tract Of land in Rhodesia-
several millien acres. It is proposed to

The mighty armies Of north and
south in the United States were just
melting away after four years of fear
full slaughter when Methodist
preacher in England began the or
ganization of the Salvation Army
Booth had been preaching since he at
tanned his majority. He was always
an evangelist. A man of education,
an enthusiast, student and observer,
his wanderings in that part of London
which our American Jack London
calls the abyss impressed him with
the profound conviction that it was his
duty to do something toward reclaim
ing the outcast.
Began In a Graveyard.
In 1865 this Methodist preacher held
his first mission meeting for helping
the bitterly poor and the criminal un-
fortunates. In tent in an old desert
ed Quaker graveyard this meeting was
held, and out Of it grew the Salvation
Army. At first the movement was
called the Christian mission. It was
not until thirteen years later that the
name Salvation Army was applied to

lis greater by far than any that was
commanded by Alexander or Hannibal
or Napoleon or Grant. It Is the big
Egest army that ever happened, and its
battle front and firing line are longer
than all the battle fronts and firing
lines Of the past put together. The line
reaches around the world, penetrates
and crisscrosses forty-nine nations and
has hopes Of reaching into Russia, the
fiftieth.
Now, it is no small honor to COM
mand an army Of this magnitude. Gen
seral Booth himself is we'll aware of
that, yet he takes care to point out just
wherein his honor differs from that OF
the other great generals mentioned. A
few years ago at San Francisco Mayor
Schmitz was eloquently welcoming the
Salvation commander to the city. He
spoke Of the worldwide welcome &C.
|corded to the venerable general. who
replied:
ut is not the honor accorded to a
man who has achieved pre-eminence in
the slaughter Of his fellows"
That is true, and it is exactly why
some Of us regard General Booth as
the greatest of the worlds command
|ers. His is the Salvation Army-its
mission Is to save rather than to STAY.
1T Stays a devil wherever ones head
pops up, but it saves men and women
millions Of them; saves them not only
spiritually, according to the orthodox
creeds Of all Christendom, but saves
them physically; saves them from
themselves and from society, which
has negatively neglected them or posi-
lively ground them underfoot

Most Of these millions of enthusiasts
no doubt are soldiers duly enlisted and

there are many outsiders-ea earnest, stu

make the same reply to the question.

Booth has shown that he can do things.

calls 1.-THE University of Humanity. .
He proposes to establish one branch of
it in London and another in New York.
The purpose is to teach the doctrine

other sciences and doctrines have their
great schools, says General Booth, and
why not human brotherhood?
