Evangeline Booth it is needless to
record.
Her life work shows that, for love
of all humanity is her theme, and in her
glorified eye shines forth all the sacri-
flee, the concentration, the suffering,
the agony of toll, and self abnegation,
which would exist were she to follow
the siren call of the muses., or merely
work in the slums of the filthiest gut
tiers.

Some Expressions
of Commander Miss
Evangeline Booth

"srhe rich are missionaried
much more effectively than the
poor; the rich, if they fail to
take advantage of salvation
must, as things stand, blame
themselves only"
..The spiritual influence of
woman has decidedly decreased
in modern times"
"Woman's responsibility today
is as great as mans, but she
is apparently prone to feel that
she has none"
tine modern woman yields to
her appetite as our forefathers
never did, and she Is destroying
the natural potential usefulness
which God gave her."
Gladstone said: Give me one
generation of Christian mothers
and will save the world"

knew 1t, and as it should be
known now, Is rarity"
