the English compelled her departure
from the country. This withdrawal WAN

adventures, often ut the peril Of her life.
Before returning To America she trnv-

originally as an assistant secretary, she
made her influence felt In every depart

was able to do anything and had one Of
the most remarkably developed chaFaC-

Salvation Army Mission.

The visit 10 this city, ON Saturday
and Sunday, of Colonel and Mrs. Gift
ford, of Boston, commanding officer of
the Salvation Army for New England,
WAS a very interesting event. The Col

monson, of Hartford, and Stati.Captain
Hughes, of Boston, and by the Boston
Provincial staff Band.
On account of pressing engagements
in Boston Colonel and Mrs. Clifford did

and by an open-air meeting on the
Square, where great throng gathered
to listen. Many followed To the hail,
where there was rush for seats, and
the hall was packed to the doors.
The instrumental solos and duets
were splendidly rendered, several num-
bers being received by storms Of APP
piause.
Sunday morning services in four of
the churches were conducted by men,
bers Of the Army. Colonel and Mrs.
Clifford, assisted by Captain and Mrs.
Withee, conducted the services ut the
Baptist church. Major Simonson, as
sisted by part of the band. conducted
the services at the Methodist church.;
Stah.Captain Hughes preached at the
Congregational church, while Captains
jolly and Reder conducted the services
at the Adventist chapel. In spite of
the severe rain storm the attendance
was good.

the hour of commencement the theatre
was practically full. Seated upon the
stage, with Colonel and Mrs. Clifford,

Judge T.. NJ. Warner, being intro
dueed bysMaier simensual as4gaairman
Of the meeting, eloquentls eu!ogized
the work of the Army, and then very
cordially welcomed and introduced Co
lionel Clifford.
II had been decided, il being the Go
lonelis first visit here, that instead Of II
strictly gospel sermon, that he should
endeaVor to aequaint the people with
the work and motive of the Salvation
Army. This he did, with anecdole,
statistics and expression that was en-
tightening and convincing. He told,
briefly Of his own experience and that
of his wife as an officer, and Intervene
the story of the Salvation Army's
growth and method and motive. The
figures he gave were startling rs TO the
work accomplished. The entire address
was such as to inspire confidence in the
greats Army he represented.
A number of selections were render
ed by the band during the services.
After the Golonel's address, good
collection was taken to help in defray-
ing the expenses Of the campaign, af-
ter which, at the suggestion of Judge
Warner, the meeting closed with the
singing of america by the entire au-
dience.
