The mayor referred to the work conducted by the organization and he said' that be thought the work of the Salvation Army is more important than ever be. fore owing to present conditions.

-The Salvation Army proclaims the supreme duty, self sacrifice- for the sake of ethers. The Salvation Army was start ed by a man -and his wife In England in the year 1886. -and It has made great growth, The methods used by I the Salvation Army help te explain itself. It is the most democratic form religion. It appeals to all and so i now ra Crtsiass Life Are Met.

At the Central Baptist church Sunday evening, Charles I Hurrey made a very impveesive address on 'The Crises ef and How They Are Met." He. said In part that the erisis In a mother's life- was when she looked into the face of her babe, and wondered what these eyes would see, and at those ears- and wondered what they would hear, and at those little feet and wondered where they would go. Then when the child went I 1. A I l. to new surroundings, and when the 4rt wrong word spoken or first little lie wan told.

Another crisis in the child's life is when he is pass-irg-from bovhood to Or when the girl is passing into young womanhood: at these periods the father should take the boy into his confidence, and the mother should do the dame with the daughter. Thn when the son leaves home for the first time: how hard it is for the mo her and father to say good bye, and how their hearts ache as he goes out of sight into the big city: just st this time what a blessing the T. M. C. A.

Is as it welcomes the youyg man and gives him good companionships. It is most remarkable how the T. M. C. A.

ministers unto all class ea and conditions of men, and beeause of this business men everywhere are rallying to its supnort and- they will continue to do. We do jiet always realize the many crises in the life ef the young men, ror they nave many. In closing Mr. Hurry expressed the hope that the local T. M.

C. A. would soon have- an adequate building in which to do the wonderful work which it is capable. 1 of Y. M.

all have most wonderful openings in this interesting part of our world, but a sad fact Is that some men who go there from our own America do not properly repesent- us, for they too often go for what they ran get. and give nothing in return; for Instance, I knew of an American who went there and 'made millions, and when he was asked to- help In an enterprise to improve conditions, he flat-lv refused: such men give absolutely the wrong Impressions of our coun try.
