Impressions Of Miss Evangeline Booth, The Great Commander
 Of The Salvation Army
Her Eloquence and Her MagnetsmFew Women Preachers Mrs Ballington Booth and Mrs. Phoebe Pamer-Force- full and Powerful Arraignment of Mans Duty
 and Responsibility
By DOLLY EsALRYSrPLn.

Upon the threshold of the Soutf Highlands Meth hodist church yesterda, just after the powerful discourse shs had delivered on "The Broken Link. Miss Evangeline Booth. the great com mander of the Salvation Army. stood for moment--a moment only for she was i'll and scarcely able to meet the exigencies of the occasion. leastwise talk of herself and her affairs. But with that wonderful will power wlixch has made her one of the most famous leaders in the world. she gath cred her strength about her and made an appeal to the vast audience that as- sembled to hear her, the equal of which has seldom if ever been heard in these parts-particularly from woman.
 As Miss Booth paused for moment In the glare of the midday light. with the golden rays of the October sun streaming down upon her, I took a men tai inventory of her wonderful person ality
 I analysed her features at a glance one by one; the soft mass of dark brown hair fell in soft ringlets about
  sympathetic blue eyes; her straight clear cut nose, and above all her firm determined mouth, and I reflected that there was little need to marvel at this wonderful woman's accomplishments success and her power over people, for it Is written in every line of her strong womanly faoe--yes. every line Is indie ative of her forceful personality and of the talents that are hers by divine right of leadership.
 For she Is pre- eminently a leader of men and women and her name is honor ed and reverenced the world over-by Christian and Pagan alike.
 My first impression of Miss Booth in the pulpit was one of keen interest naturally,
 It isn't often that one hears q woman preach.
 Our religion, our politics, are based on the thought that woman Is in- ferior.
 Judea and christendom were taught alike to believe that God made man in his own image and that woman was an afterthought--a postscript that lured man to a fatal fall!
 We get a superstitius reverence for a law and--clinging to it-and so I began to recall some passages of Scripture relevant to the subject and remembered that St. Paul has said somewhere in his epistles to the Corinthians: Let your women keep silence In the churches
 And then argued in my mind that this injunction was intended only for the Corinthian women since they were not sufficiently educated to speak in

public and many of them might have been tempted to do so.
 And allowing my thoughts to follow up the subject I recalled another pas- sage of St. Paurs which appears in the 18th chapter of Romans and the first verse, which says. on the contrary:
 T commend unto you Phoebe, our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea."
 And still further, in the 18th verse:
 Salute the beloved Persis which la bored much in the Lord"
 And so I made up my mind that in preaching as In all other things every thing depends upon the person who does 1t and the manner in which it is done. and that there Is no logical or Scriptural reason why women should not preach.
 Here was this wonderful woman sway ing the emotions of men and women; touching their hearts as they have sell dom If ever before been touched; plac- ing before them their duties and re- responsibilities, which not even the hard est and most callous sinner could shirk, and again I reflected.
 This woman has the gift; she was destined to leadership
 It is an inheritance with Miss Booth ; the talent she has for reaching people through the magnetism of her person. ality and the convincing power of her words.
 fxv4 Af who sermons have been so powerful in their effect--those of her mother, Mrs. Ballington Booth, and those of Mrs. Phoebe Palmer, the wife of an Ameri- can clergyman, and the latter Is not widely known.
 Directly Miss Booth began to talk yesterday I realized the significance of all that has been said of her as a student; a student of human nature i; dent of conditions and how they are to be met. and above all a student of the poor and lowly. 'the submerged tenth." as it were, and I rejoiced to see a wo- man so influential. so powerful, so great.
 As she stood in the pulpit and after wards surrounded by her CO., o-workers, her slender, graceful figure clad in the regulation blue uniform and the red sash. the insignia of the Salvation Army. I thought of Martin Luther's words:
 Earth has nothing more tender than a woman's heart when it is the abode of love and piety. and perhaps after all they are the same," and how full to the brim and running over is the heart of this noble. self-sacrificing. Christian woman"

SETTLERS WILL PAY,
First Installments Due On Several
Reclamation Projects.

VUSt INSTRUMENTS Oue IN 0everal
Reclamation Projects.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-The acid
test of the practicability of all the
government reel am alton work is at
hand. On April l there was due and
payable into the reclamation fund
from the settlers OF the various pro.
iects approximately 81, 000, 900 for
water rights. If the farmers are able
to meet their payments, it evidences
that the government is able to secure
a return on its investment. II the
payments are not made the law is q
failure in one of its most important
provisions, and the operations OF the
reclamation service would quickly be
brought to an end.
The payment OF their Indebtedness
by these farmers will probably be the
most important single event in the
history of national irrig alton. There
never has been any doubt as to the
competency of the engineers to con-
struct the projects, but doubt has been
expressed as t whether the govern
ment could get its money back. The
dollars of the successful farmers in
the districts will be the answer and
the vindication of the alton
law.
There have been failures, as it was
inevitable there should be, but the
absolute failures and the abandon
ments have been surprisingly few. Ia
numerous instances those who under.
estimated the task or came withou,
experience or sufficient funds were
able to retire without serious loss. In
numerous other instances many re-
tired with some gain, but the greatest
number of failures was found among
those who took up the projects never
intending to use them themselves, but
to speculate for profits on bona fde
home makers who came later.
Where the reclamation service finds
that a failure has been due to condi'
lions not under control Of the settler.
it is possible that some way may be
found to protect his rights, but where
the evidence Is that the settler hal
made no effort to protect himself, he
need expect no aid from the govern
ment. The farmers who came to farm
however, are making good.
