out to induce the mill men to come to

shops the boy enthusiast appealed to
his grimy hearers in impassioned sem

These he resented not at all. but led

Mayor Reyburn is anxious that the
people shall express their opinion, but
his personal view is that there may BE-
a general sentiment against repairs
Said he the other day: There is .
historic sentiment connected with the
crack itself. The bell cracked at the
funeral services Of Chief Justice Mar

seen a picture of the bell knows OF
that crack. Still, 1t might be of inter

has all sorts of branch bureaus for So
cial betterment, is blessed where he
once was reviled, respected where he
was held in contempt, is received by
kings and presidents with honor and by
the poor with oyatlons and looks over
q world that he has conquered by his
armies of peace.
For many weeks General Booths
followers and friends throughout the
earth have been planning popular dem
onstrations for his eightieth birthday,
April 10, and for the announcement
on that day of his last and greatest
project, that of University Of HUI
mainly, which will train students for
salvation work. This institution will
have branches in various cities in all
lands. New York and Chicago among
the number.

poets to live to be 100.
However long General Booth lives,
1t is safe to say that his gospel of
''soap, soup and salvation" will so on
Indefinitely and his drumbeat will
still be heard around the world. He
believes in ministering to bodies as
well as souls and in making men hap
by here as we'll as hereafter. His
creed is that the way to degenerate So
ciety is to regenerate the individuals
composing society. With political
movements Of any kind he has moth
ing to do. His appeal is to the indi-
vidual unit, and he uses cooperation
only as a means to that end.
In person General Booth is tall-over
six feet-and spare. He has piercing
eye, q nose like the beak of an eagle, a
high, though retreating forehead white
hair and whittier beard. He is an
orator Of rare powers, being a master
of appeal, denunciation, fnvective, fery
exhortation. homely wisdom and anec-
dote. He is as ready with the pen as
WIN the spoken worn, luluS uUC
common among orators. To this unu
sual combination he adds such powers
as an organizer and leader that Cen
eral Wolseley, once head Of the British
army, said that Booth would have
made a great military commander. A
man that can talk, write and command
can move the world, provided he has
sufficient faith, purpose and concentra-
ton. Booth has all these and several
other things-for example, boundless
energy. He works all the time and
demands that others do the same. He
has no room for a lazy man.
No Respectable People Wanted.
BE 1t known that among his other
qualities William Booth possesses a
temper. With all his kindness he is
born autocrat and can tongue lash
people IL they do not toe the mark. He
is not soft man. Like all those sur
charged with nervous force, all those
who do things. he Is not complacent.

Some one described Daniel Webster as

is dynamo in breaches. When on a
motor tour Of England at the age of
seventy-nine, making more speeches in
day than most evangelists make in
week, his constant command to his
chauffeur was Faster" He probably
broke speed laws, but If so he did it
to the glory Of God.
He is not conventional man. In
his early work he held his meetings in
cheap theaters and dance halls and
once over the door put up the legend,
mo Respectable People Admitted II ere."
When asked where he would draw his
recruits he answered, "From the dance
halls and Saloons" And he did He
was like the master of the feast that
sent out into the byways and hedges
for his guests. His mission was to the
one lost sheep and not to the ninety
and nine. Booth gives his hand and
heart to the unfortunate, the outcast
and the sinners. He may go after
them with drums, or with soap, or with
! beds and meal tickets, or with 1.-The
manless land for the landless man." or
with doggerel songs set to dance hall
airs, or with the other unconventional
ways familiar to Salvation Army
usage, but he goes after them. That is
the great point.
General Booths beau ideal and pa
tron saint is John Wesley. There is
much in common between the two
both religious reformers, both break
ing away from old conventional Gus
toms. both preaching in the open air
and using methods denounced as SEN
sational, both appealing to the poor,
the sinful and the suffering; both do
ing prodigious amount of work, not
only as preachers, but as writer's and
organizers; both looking personally aft
Ell the movements they founded even
to minute details, both starting great
new departure in religion. both jeered
at and held in contempt in the begin
ming, but gaining the golden opinion
of mankind in the end.
