With characteristic promptitude
and spirit OF instant action, such aS
has distinguished its lifelong opera
ton, the Salvation Army has issued
the authoritative biography OF its
great founder. General Booth died in
August last year. and now everybody
so disposed may have access to an
authenticated account of the life and
labors of one of the most wonderful
figures in the religious life of the
nineteenth century, and. so far as IL
has gone, of the twentieth also. The
work of compilation has been en-
trusted to First Commissioner Rail-
ton, one who, with the exception of
his own blood kindred, stood In closer
relation to General Booth than any
other man. The commissioner has
done hts work in a highly creditabIe
manner. He has not INDUCED in hero
worship overmuch, although some
thing of the sort was, in the circum-
stances, almost inevitable. or excess

needs to know concerning the man
who rose from such lowly beginnings
to heights of real greatness. There
Is. too. this of conspicuous value
about Mr.. Railtonfs book--it stamps
with authority many OF the details
of Booths life which hitherto circulat-
g din an atmosphere OF uncertainty.
William Booth was born in Noting
ham. England, on April 10, 1929. and
was left at thirteen years of age, the
only son of a widowed and an i'm
poverfshed mother. Through years of
struggleehe passed ultimately into the
ministry OF the Methodist New Con-
nexion Church. Mr.. Railton inter
estingly relates the circumstances un-
der which Booth left that body and Of
the passion for souls and real, live
evangelism which consumed his even

his career as follows: TN these days

has been erected in an old burial
ground in Whitechapel, the expected
missioner having fallen ILL., He con-
scented and thus describes his expert
ences:

whispered to Hfe, This means another

question OF our support constituted a
serious difficulty. Hitherto we had
been able to meet our expenses out
of the collections which we had

suppose that we could do so among

were afraid even to ask for collec-

largely TO the East End of London.

A certain student of human nature,
visiting a prison one day, found his
greatest interest In trying to read the
faces Of the men behind the bars,
One of these faces, the story runs, af-

look of criminal. Why, may ask,
are you here?"
II am here awaiting trial." was the
answer. II am unjustiy accused"

true, for the mans coat was of velvet.

he said, smoothing it out and pushing
1t through the bars. Paint me a
picture upon 1t.
Every day while the artist awaited
his trial the stranger came to see how
his picture grew. The napkin was
nailed upon the wall, and every day
the artist prayed. as he painted,
Lord God, help me to paint picture
of thee that shall win men to thee"
And every day the touch of the brush
brought out more clearly against the
dull wall of that cell the radiant face
of Christ In a picture so beautiful that

thousands. Yet before it was touch

The story is prison parable. There

Gratefully confessing.
We receive his blessing.

blinded by our sin are we,
How the mystery OF his grace
Works in all, we cannot see,
Nor the glory of his face.
This the Father knoweth,
His compassion showeth.
Christ, Redeemer, all in all.
Wondrous, condescending love,
STOPPED he to our low estasei
Near, that we his love might prove.
Down. TO lift us through the Gate
Marvel we beholding
Mercy's plan unfolding.
God in man, yes, all in all.
And we trace through all the ages
one grand purpose or MS love-
Writ on living, human pages,
Wonder of the hosts above.
Step by step he leadeth
AS his flock he feedeth,
Jesus, Shepherd, all in all.
BY our griefs refining fires.
Grow we to his image still.
And the chastened soul aspires
To be moulded to his will.
Glorious faith revealing,
And this sweet hope sealing,
Christ. our Lord, is all in all.
