again preparing to provide for the

which became associated with this

the money collected in this way, to
all who are penniless on Christmas.

an old chair factory in Philadelphia

lates. I'VE worked hard to make
our place presentable, but when the
opening night came nobody attend
ed our meeting. After failing to get
people to come to us we went out in
the streets, in front of the saloons,
where we could meet the fallen.
We did not have tambourines or
uniforms then, but when we sang
crowds gathered. When father
started to speak they hurled stones
at Us and said terrible things. The
mayor orderd us from the streets
and the newspapers made fun of US,
but we continued to work and grad
ually our efforts were rewarded"
Three years ago Commandant
Symmonds was called to Philadel-
phia to take part in the laying of the
cornerstone to mark the spot where
the army was born in America. On
the very spot where her parents
held the first meeting she told her
story of pioneer days to a respectful
audience of thousands.
