DAUGHER WAS HERE

Commandant Eliza Symmonds, pio-
neer of the Salvation Army in the
United States, is in Keokuk today.
She came to conduct three days
spiritual campaign here at the Saliva.
ton Army headquarters. Meetings
will be held there tonight, tomorrow
night and on Sunday, with Com.
mandant Symmonds taking part at
each service.
Tomorrow evening the commandant
will give an address on the origin OF
the Salvation Army and some Incl
dents of its origin In this country.
She will also touch upon the work of
the Salvation Army in France during
the war. The inside services tomor-
row night will begin at o'clock.
During the war Mrs. Symmonds was
assigned especially to publicity work
in the United States for the Salvation
Army work. She toured the country
speaking to schools, churches, lodges
and clubs. Her efforts are being
spent now in helping with the great
religious revival which this army is
pushing every place. She says 1t is
greater problem than during the
war to make people think about God
because now all they want is frivolity
and enjoyment, while during the
struggle across the seas they were
anxious to have superior being to
depend upon and look to for comfort.

Let me but live my life from year to
year
With forward face and unreluctant
soul,
Not Fastening to nor turning from
the goal,
Not mourning for the things that
disappear
In the dim past, nor held back in
fear
For what the future wells, but with
whole
And happy heart that pays it's tol!
To youth and age and travels on
with cheer.
So let the way wind up the hill and
down,
Though rough or smooth. the journey
will be joy
Still seeking what sought when but
boy.
New friendship, high adventure and
crown.
I shall grow old, but never lose LIES
zest,
Because the roads last turn will be
the best
