organization. The paper recites that the

used by the United States Department of
Agriculture for the marking of meats
for identification. We feel that the pres
ent method is a serious detriment to our
business. we therefore appeal to YOU
with the hope that We may get some re-
lief A careful investigation will prove
that the marks which are supposed to be
means of Identification are smears of DUR

too circumscribed for his exhaustless
energy. and fl 1861 he resigned in order
to take up the labors III a wider field
After a tour through parts of England
familiar to him in his previous travels on
circuit Gen. Booth went to London, where
the condition, physical and spiritual. Of
the poor of that great city stirred him
profoundly. Therefore, July 5. 1865, he
began his earnest work for the people
which has continued to this day.
His First Tabernacle.
In the east end OF London. on the Mile
End road. he delivered his first address
as an independent evangelist to crowd
of typical Whitechapel denizens. His
tabernacle was a rough old tent in a dis
used burial ground. But the enthusiasm
and magnetism of the preacher made
from that humble and discouraging be-
ginning a magnificent success, and from
the seed then planted sprang a world
wide organization of which the power for
good has been enormous.
Al first the organization that grew about
the leader was known as the Christian
Mission. and It was confined to the slums
of London. where 1t began. Gen. Booth
has since described it himself as an au-
tocracy- Everything proceeded from him
or mis- immediate assistants. All that re-
ferred TO the work. eVe TO the most MI
mute detail, was referred to him, and he
soon found that the labor grew the
system was impossible. The leader then
caused TO be elected from the various
bodies sprung from the parent stem dele
gates. who were formed into committee
to act as IA governing body. But that plan
also failed.
Then. as the general says, government
by talk having been weighed and found
wanting. the military idea which had
long been forming in his mind, was adopt
ed. and there was not a single diSsentient
voice among his followers. 1t had been
found that the converts. through lack of
close comradeship with their fellows. had
often fallen back into the ways from
which they had been rescued. Gen. Booth
had been Waging an irregular warfare
against sin and vice. He determined now
10 make his battle array regular. So in
1873 the Salvation Army was organized,
and sine that time, barely thirty years
ago, 1t has grown to have loss branches
established in 53 countries and colonies,

A Terror to Evil.

A Terror to Evil
From the hour of its birth the Salvation
Army became part of the history of the
nations with wliich 1t was associated. Its
voice has struck terror 10 evil. All over
the world Its sheltering arms have spread
and 1t has welcomed the friendless and
drawn forth the submerged into a higher
and better life. ministe ring to the body as
we'll the soul.
En1inently practical the spirit of the
army, infused by its general has left
dogma to the theolOgians and has struck
at the root of the evils of the lowe st
grades of society. Help is never denied.
Like most religious movements, Its In
fancy was passed amid bitter attacks and
in conflicts with opposing religious bodies
or individuals. Hostile criticism greeted
Gen. Booths efforts. and even now cen
surfing voices are not stilled. 1t Is not
difficult to rene mber when the first Sal
vationists were seen in America. They
We're regarded as fanatics, and the par
ticular feature that struck the observers
was that they used tambourfnes hitherto
associated with anything but religion. OPP

Properties Of the Army.
The properties of the army are enor-
nous. In most countries where the army
works 1t does everything; buys, plans
and builds, trains its own architects and
builders. 1t has an insurance society with
2,0NO agents and superintendent and with
an annual premium account that would
compare favorably with some of the
recognized Insurance corporations
In England and the United States 1t
has printing and photographic works. en-
ploying men and women at trades union
prices. This department began with the
necessity for printing songbooks and
now it floods the world with literature Of
its own making.
Across the water it carries on its own
banking. The necessity for this arose
some years ago. Soldiers and friends
pressed the great leader to inaugurate
the movement, which has now grown into
a promising institution under the name
of the Reliance Bank"
The army composes, prints and pub
fishes it's own music for its own mu-
sicians. The head Of this department
is converted inf1del of rare musical
and poetic ability. The organization also
manufactures its own clothing and musi-
cal instruments, and thus gives employ
ment to thousands of skilled workmen.
