MISS EVA BOOTH
 SWANS THOUSANDS
 WITH HER WORDS
Made Two Strong Addresses in Birmingham Yesterday
 Morning and Night
THOUGH SHE SUFFERED
 MUCH BODILY PAIN
Theatre the Leader of the Sal- vation Army Wns Introduced
 By Governor Conner

Hundreds were turned away at the Jefferson theatre last night when Miss Evangeline Booth, daughter of Gen. William Booth and commander of the Salvation Army In America. deliv- cred her second address of the day.
 Though very weak and suffering with fever from a rheumatic trouble with which she has of late been affected, Miss Booth filled her engagements for both addresses. Her face flushed with fever. Miss Booth swayed both im- mense audiences with her eloquence.
 At the morning address. delivered at the Five Points Methodist church, Miss Booth spoke on "The Broken Link" The sacredness of home and family ties was the theme of her address, the in- stance of the prodigal son being taken as text.
 Miss Booth Is woman of rare mag netism and stage presence" and is aDfe by her oratory to hold her audience spellbound. Strong men seemed moved yesterday by her eloquence and tears were by no means rare.
 The Night Address
 Long before s o'clock last night every available seat in the Jefferson theatre was occupied, and many had to be turn ed away.
 Music for the occasion was furnished by the band of the local Salvation Army corps. who occupied seats on the stage.
 A hymn, "All Hail the Power of Jesus Name" was sung by the congregation in opening last nights meeting. Col. R. E. Holz of Philadelphia presided at the opening and introduced Gov. B. B. Conner, who in turn made the introduce tion of the speaker of the evening.
 Miss Booth Speaks
 In introducing Miss Booth Governor Conner stated that he had had the pleas ure of introducing many celebrities, but esteemed greater than all the privilege of presenting Miss Booth. He paid a tribute to the work that has been &C., complished by the Salvation Army. He spoke of the women heroes of history, like Florence ghtingale and Miss Barton, whom he said were no greater nor more heroic than those, like Miss Booth. who have human poverty and misery to combat
 Miss Booth said In part:
 My subject is called 'Omnipotence Ungloved.' My text, I believe, is one of the mightiest to be found in the Bible. It Is this: Behold, the Lords s save; neither His ear heavy that He cannot hear There is no depth of sorrow or sin but what the Lords hand can reach 1t, and reaching it can save.
 There is no more wonderful mem ber of the body than the hand. God has given in mans own keeping His greatest work. Our bodies are Gods mightiest handiwork and mans greatest sin Is the destruction of himself. Browning all is the intellect, that masterpiece of creation, which alone lifts us above the animal world. But with the hand, with it's thou sand muscles and bones, what marvellous books have been written. The hand min fsters to all our needs. On cold piece of canvass 1t brings out the glorious pie ture. It stays, shatters, destroys, yet Is so gentle that 1t clasps the other hand in love. Could anybody say what we owe to the medical hand, kind, strong and tender? How marvellous is the human hand, the most wonderful member of the human body.
 How, then, can I describe the power of the hand of God, which sways the world. which gave the stars their lustre, which is not shortened that it cannot save? Can you imagine any depth to which that hand cannot reach, any height to which that hand cannot soar? There is no stain His blood cannot wash away, no burden that He cannot lift. He Is able to save, from the uttermost to the uttermost. When the wound was sore He healed the pain.
 Make Known It's Wonders
 My dear Christian friends, how are we going to make known the wonders of this great hand? We should do all, and take as many with us as possible when we go into the better world. Sin is a darkness, disease, a poison, dam nation, hell. It deceives and destroys No home is there so happy but sin will wreck 1t, no men so noble but sin will be his undoing. It destroys life. and no force can overcome that great enemy of darkness but the hand of God. Only that hand can lift that burden, only the blood of Jesus can wash that sin away. That hand is not a short one. that 1t cannot save.
