He reminded the veterans that they had fought for the south. the south east quarter of the United States, which he said was the best in point of climate and the rich est in natural resources of any part of the Union. He admonished the people of the south to hold on to their land; not to be lead away after other interests. but to develop the na- tural resources of the southland to the fullest. else their sacrifice had all been in vain.

NEW YORK. November General
William Booth, founder and the head
of the Salvation Army. arrived here
to-day on what is probably his last
visit to New York. The aged SAL
vationist is feeble, and has been in
poor health since his arrival in Ameri-

zles his physicians and himself.
Il have now resumed my program"
he said, and ] have grown stronger
ton of my theory that work is the
great remedy for all human ills"
Speaking of his meetings, he said:
II find that the people with no re-
ltEious lean!ngs are more sympathetic
than many others.
There Is in every one nature that
responds to Il call for goodness and
and God. This nature may
be overlaid with all manner OF evil
passions, but still it is there. The
goodness in the natures of the people
will be brought out BY patience and
determination. So many people think
that they must be rich or prominent
in the eye OF the public in order to
have .happiaess, instead OF seeing clear
ly that the only real way to happiness
is by the aid OF God and goodness and
in making sacrifices.
Religion is not the idea of being
moody or melancholy, but rather 1T Is a
jolly state of the heart. The irdiffer-
ence to religion. that Is, formal re-
ligton, Is growing"
