SYNOPSIS.

Three girls Elizabeth, Gabrielle and
Elise-started for Canada to spend the
summer there. On board steamer they
were frightened by an apparently dement,
ca stranger, who, finding a bag belonging
to one OF them, took enjoyment in scru-
tlnizing a photo of the trio. Elise shared
her stateroom with a Mrs. Graham, also
bound for Canada. The young women on

being the q~ueer-acting stranger on the
steamer. The girls were mot at home"
but discovered by the cards left that one
of the men was Elizabeth's fathers
friend. The men proved to be John C.
Blake and Gordon Bennett The party
was told of the search for ~smugglers in
the vicinity Of the cottage. Elise visited
Mrs. Graham to find that her life was
not the happiest. She learned that the
Grahams and Lady Edith were acquaint-
ed. A wisp of yellow hair from Mr.. Ora
hams pocket fell into the hands of Elise.
Mrs. Graham's hair was black. During

ment later Mary Anne. their woman serv-

sure them there was no danger, Mary
Anne descended to the basement alone
and quieted their fears. Lady Edith told
The girls Of q robbery Of Jewels at the
hotel. Fearing for the safety Of her own
gems, she left them in a safe at the cot
tage. Mr.. Gordon Bennett was properly
introduced, explained his queer actions,

homes, nursing, Samaritan brigades,
hospital and benevolent visitation, po-
lice court work and Indian school
training.
No other religious organization in
the worlds history has branched out
into so many departments Of philan-
thropic effort and absorbed them as
part of its religious duties.
Need of Trained Workers.
The scheme for a University of HUI
manity grew naturally out of the de-
yelopment Of the 20 other depart
ments. With a field as wide as the
world itself the work of the Salvation
Army is only limited by the number
OF workers that can be secured and
its effectiveness by the understanding
and earnestness of these workers. AS
uplift work has grown from local eff
forts to help a few into a great in
elusive movement which must miss
none, the problems of organization
have grown greater. Charity has be-
come a science and its application an
art requiring the highest development
OF personal qualities of insight and
altrulsm. There is thus pressing need
for workers of quite exceptional quail
ification. These qualifications must
first of all be inherent and must then
be developed by experience and spe-
cial training.
This is the new work planned by
Gen. Booth. Those women. for in
stance, who are to go among the
slums Of the big cities must not only
have the desire to help but must know
how real helpfulness can best be Sc
cured. They must understand by a
study of practical sociology some
thing Of the social forces that create
this poverty and crime and wretched-
ness. They must understand the dam
ger Of the unwise charity that merely
increases dependence and understand
the value of better living conditions
in raising the moral courage of those
to whom fate has been unkind. They
must be able not only to correct home
conditions themselves but to impart
their knowledge and to inspire with
a desire for betterment.
Value of the Organization.
This will be but a small part Of the
university's training in social service
as planned by the patriarchal evangel-
list, but it serves to show of what value
such an organization will be.
OF the generals plan for the uni
versity he himself said recently: 81

for the systematic training of his
workers has been in his mind for sew
eral years. On his last visit to the
United States the general made his
first tentative announcement of the
plan. Since then he has worked out
many Of the details and he has just
consented to the beginning of pre-
liminary work in this country where
the need for trained workers has been
especially great.
Growth Of Great System.
It is perhaps not generally realized
that the whole intricate modern ma
chifery of civilization for the uplift-
ing Of the submerged tenth, the vast
system Of charities now so essential
a part of modern life, is to a very
large extent an outgrowth of the
Booth idea. He was the first to see
that the unfortunate could be be
reached by those who had suffered as
they had, and that they must be
reached by practical worldly help be-
fore they could be prepared to begin
the cleaner life. 1t was the Salvation
Army which first made a practical
working success Of this now familiar
principle of so-called missionary work.
This whole plan of campaign for
raising the fallen began on a very
simple scale in the poverty-stricken
and crime-infested East end Of Lon
don and under the impetus of William
Booths singular force of mind and
personality and the momentum that it
has gathered with almost miraculous
rapidity 1t has developed into a truly
astonishing organization.
Some of the departments of its
work are: Prison-gate and Rescue,
Inebriates' homes, Boys and Girls
homes, Farm colonies, Emigration.
Naval and Military homes, Maternity
