A Cycle
Christian spirit !,
Merely an outcast
Do unto others
The humble citizen
Where peoples blush
On a stretcher
Tonight
BY W. Alexander INLAY

The Salvation Army was begotten
Of the Christian spirit and conceived
In kindness.
It is the breath of graciousness
upon the blighted spots in the social
fabric.
1t is a refuge of the wayward;
the redemption of the fallen.
It is the organization that seeks by
human kindness and gentle direction
to arouse in degraded and hopeless
manhood and womanhood a firm be-
lief that that something may live
to their betterment.
The hope that has been scared is
healed; the life that has been
scorched in the melting pot of the
underworld is revived with the
lethean balm of better living.

"You can be a man." he said
tensely. "You will be a man."
"a will" the gutter rat responded,
and new light shone in his eyes.
The outcast OF the gutter was
warmed. He was fed. He was given
a bed and clean clothing.
In the morning he was given light
work.

days ago, the starting OF the police
school on last sunday, when the iirst

on sunday, much grumbling was heard.
