SALVATION ARMY WORK

When Thomas Mott Osborne, the
New York millionaire. was placed
in charge of Sing Sing prison-the
most notorious penal institution in
the United States today-he inaug-
urated several new methods which
he believed would have a lasting
effect upon the criminal and which
would bring him to a realization of
his downfall. With the Inaugural
ton of Mr.. Osborne humane efforts,
music was one of the first induce
ments offered the unfortunates. The
effect upon them from this method
is now nationwide. What has been
tried in Sing Sing has been exempli-
fed in the South by the Salvation
Army.
Brigadier and. Mrs. A. w. Craw-
ford, six or seven years ago. visited
the Federal prison in Atlanta one
Sunday morning to conduct special
religious services. During this SER
vice Mrs. Crawford sang, Jesus
Love Is Sweeter AS the Days Go
By." While she was singing, she
noticed that yonng man was
deeply affected by the hymn. In
quiries disclosed the fact that he
had been sent to the Federal
prison from Washington, D. c., to
serve five-year sentence.
Two weeks after attending the
first service of the Salvation Army,
he was converted and became one
of the firm boosters of the Brighter
Day League" the Salvation Army
prison organization. From that
time Oh he was a model prisoner
and did everything within his pow
er to spread the Gospel among his
fellowmen. He served his sentence
and upon his release came direct
to the Salvation Army headquarters
in Atlanta and was sent to the In
dustrial Home on Whitehall St.
where he was put to work until a
permanent position could be secured
for him.
Several days later the same
young man was sent to Atlanta tt
do some shopping for the home
While in one of the larger stores h,
met man from Tennessee, who re
cognized him. He came over to the
man who was recently released
from the Federal penitentiary ane
said, Unless you give me money
| will give you up; you cannot foo
me, | know they want you in Ten
nessee."
That did not alarm the man VIII,
wanted to make good. He went t,
the nearest telegraph station an,
wired the authorities of Tennessee
the following message: | am ready t,
give myself up; come and get me.
The authorities came to Atlant;
and arrested the man who was be
friended by the Salvation Army
taking him back to the scene of hi
crime. He was tried and sentence,
to five months. He served his sen
tence and was a free man, forgettin
the past and living for the future
This all happened several year.
