SALVATION ARMY CELEBRATES
THE ANNIVERSARY.
ALL LANOS DO HIM HONOR
Osy Is Marked in America by Launch*
ing of His Plan for a University
of Humanity.
New York.—With great mass meet
ings in every city anil rejoicing wher
ever its soldiers are found, the Salva
tion Army on Saturday celebrated the
eightieth birthday of its founder and
commander-in-chief, Gen. William
Mouth. All the Christian world par
ticipated in the occasion, for every
where the venerable philanthropist is
honored for his deeds for unfortunate
humanity.
Gen. Hooth himself presided over
several munster mass meetings in
London. His advanced age and the
fact that he was operated on recently
for cataract did not deter him from
taking part in the celebrations held by
his devoted soldiers.
University of Humanity Launched.
In Amarica the day was marked
especially by the launching of another
of Gen. Booth's original schemes for
social reform in the United States.
At every post of the army was an
nounced the beginning of work to
found a University of Humanity, a
great Institute for the training of
workers in social service. The uni
versity will be divided between New
York and Chicago, and it is expected
to begin with a fund of 91.000,000. The
gathering of this fund Is the work
that the army now enters upon in com
memoration of its famous leader's
completion of his eightieth year.
As a much-needed stone in tbe great
organizational structure that. William
Booth has been buildine during the
past 7 years, this idea of a school
F'TJI
homes, nursing, Samaritan brigades,
hospital and benevolent visitation, po
lice court work and Indian school
training.
No other religious organisation la
the world's history has branched out
into so many departments of philan
thropic effort and absorbed them as
part of its religious duties.
Need of Trained Workers.
The scheme for a University of Ho»
manitv grew naturally out of tbe de
velopment of the 20 other depart
ments. With a fieM as wide as the
world itself the work of the Salvation
Army is only limited by the number
of workers that can be secured and
its effectiveness by the understanding
arid earnestness of these workers. As
uplift work has grown from local ef
forts to help a few Into a great In
clusive movement which must miss
none, the problems of organisation
have grown greater. Charity has be
come a science and its application an
art requiring the highest development
of personal qualities of Insight and
altruism. There is thus pressing need
for workers of quite exceptional quail
ification. These qualification mnst
first of all be inherent and must then
be developed by experience and spe
cial training.
This is the new work planned by
Gen. Booth. Those women, for In
stance. who are to go among the
slums of the big cities must not only
have the desire to help but must know
how real helpfulness can best be se
cured. They must understand by a
study of practical sociology some
thing of the social forces that create
this poverty and crime and wretched
ness. They must understand the dan
ger of the unwise charity that merely
increases dependence and understand
the value of better living conditions
In raising the moral courage of those
to whom fate has been unkind. They
must be able not only to correct home
conditions themselves but to Impart
their knowledge and to Inspire with
a desire for betterment.
Value of the Organisatien.
This will be but a small part of the
university's training In social service
as planned by the patriarchal evangel
ist, but it serves to show of what value
such an organization will be.
Of the general's plan for tbe uni
versity he himself said recently: "I
GENERAL WILLIAM SOOTH.
for the systematic training of his
workers has been in his mind for sev
eral years. On his last visit to the
United States the general made his
first tentative announcement of the
plan. Since then he has worked out
many of the details and he haa Just
consented to the beginning of pre
liminary work In this country where
the need for trained workers has been
especially great.
Growth of Great Syatsm.
It Is perhaps uot generally realized
that the whole intricate modern ma
chinery of civilization for the uplift
ing of the submerged tenth, the vast
system of charities now so essential
a part of modern life. Is to a very
large extent an outgrowth of the
B-ioth idea. He was the first to see
that the unfortunate could be be
reached by those who had suffered as
they had, and that they must be
reached by practical worldly help be
fore they could be prepared to begin
the cleaner life. It was the Salvation
Army which first made a practical
working success of this now familiar
principle of so-called missionary work.
This whole plan of campaign for
raising the fallen began on a very
simple scale in the poverty-stricken
and crime-infested East end of Lon
don aud under the impetus of William
Booth's singular force of mind and
personality and the momentum that it
has gathered with almost miraculous
rapidity it has developed into a truly
astonishing organization.
Seme of the departments of its
work are: Prison-gate and Rescue.
Inebriates' homes, Boys' and Girls'
homes, Farm colonies. Emigration.
Naval and Military homes, Maternity
WHERE HE SHOT
Some years ago when there were
pigeon shooting and heavy betting at
the Hurlinghani club in England an
amusing incident occurred, it was a
Saturday, and there was a very large
attendance of both shooters and
guests.
Among the entries for tbe cup was
very young nohletnan, say 21 or 22
years old, who had just come into the
title and estates of one of the oldest
ear'doms in Great Britain. He had
BATHROOM MOTTOES
It is very odd that while mottoes
have been made. Invented and bor
rowed for every other room In the
house, the bsthroom should be mot
toless. Verses appropriate to the
guestroom come prettily framed, tbe
dining-room walls sometimes show a
mural decoration of good cheer, an ap
propriate verse Is csrved into the li
brary mantel, while smoking-room, den
and living room each boasts a special
incentive to smoke, loaf, or Indulge la
want to train men and women to deal
with misfortune. I want them in
structed to combat with the weak
nesses and sins of the drunkard, the
trimlual, the pauper and the would-be
suicide."
At 80 years of age the head of the
Salvation Army, after more than half a
century of almost unceasing activity.
Is as vigorous and untiring as at any
time in his career. The inexhaustible
vitality and intellectual and physical
activity of this social reformer, philan
thropist, preacher, author and traveler
are marvelous. At fourscore he is
traveling many thousands of miles
over the world every yesr, controlling
the destinies of his more than 7,000
corps of Salvation soldiery with their
18,000 commissioned officers, distribu
ted among every civilised country,
preaching constantly to vast audiences
and doing an amount of literary work
that would be a factor to many a pro
fessional author with' no other occupa
tion.
William Booth was born on April 10,
1829, in Nottingham, England, and was
trained for the Methodist ministry,
which he entered and became one of
the strongest evangelistic forces In
that church. He grew dissatisfied
however, at reaching only those with
some religious training and convic
tion. He felt that there were thou
sands whose need was far greater and
he gravitated to the East end of Lon
don where wretchedness of all kinds
was the rule.
In a disused burial ground on Mile
End road be pitched an old tent and
the first Salvationist meeting was
held in that tent in 1861. The fiery
eloquence of the earnest young
"money to burn," as the saying is.
When he was called to the traps he
backed himself to win, laying £20
to eight with the "betting ring" and
among the members of the club.
The noble earl missed clean with
both barrels, and after removing the
empty shells from his gun he saun
tered back toward the scoring tent,
but stopped half way to speak to Jack
Hammond, the man who supplied the
club with pigeons, and said to him,
in that peculiar drawling way so much
in vogue among the "upper ten" In
I cheery chatter In painted pyrographed
or stenciled verse or prose. Only the
bathrwm remains mottoless.
No invitation to turn on as hot a
bath as one wishes adorns Its walls.
No cheerful assurance that "In this
house water is a luxury, not a neces
sity, so use it at will." Not even the
commonplace that cleanliness Is next
to godliness serves as an inducement
for the children to become smphibious
oftener than they are driven.
Surely, with so vast a field for inven
tion or Imitation, than should ha at
preacher caught the attention ef a
crowd of poor Whlteehapelers and he
fore that first meeting was over he had
made several conversions, a perform
ance that he has been repeating
throughout the world for 47 years.
Hew He Started the Army.
This first meeting resulted in the
formation of the Christian mission,
from which it was the evangelist's
custom to send his converts to the ex
isting churches of the locality, but
finding that they were not welcomed
and were In danger of slipping back
from sheer want of comradeship sad
oversight, be set about forming so
cieties of the converted. These he
found to be a potent agency for bring
ing in more, as the heedless East
ender could be Impressed by the
words of a former "pal" when ha
would not listen to a minister. So was
created the central Idea of the Salva
tion Army.
The need of orgaaisatlon became
apparent, but several methods were
tried with little success before Gen.
Booth hit upon the military idea and
named his organisation the Salvation
Army. From that time on tbe move
ment grew amasingly and it has con
tinued to grow without ceasing to
this day.
Spread Over the World.
The movement began spreading to
othemcountriea of the world in 18(1
wheplt first reached the United
Sta^T 'hrough the Influence of a silk
weaver who had emigrated from Cov
entry, England, bringing with him the
Salvation Army Idea and a strong de
sire to continue in the work. It
reached Australia in the ssme year
through a milk dealer from Stepney,
and soon afterwards the first Csnsdlan
corps was organised in a similar
fashion.
Five yesrs later. In 1889, the gen
eral made the first of msny visits to
the American branches of the army
and he has seen them grow from a
few small corps into a veritable army
of tremendous Influence and unsur
passed efficiency. His first great
world-tour was made in 1891, when he
visited South Africa. Australia and
India. Since then he has visited the
United States, Canada, Australia, New
Zealand and India four times, South
Africa twice and Japan and the Holy
Land each once.
During all these travels the actual
executive responsibility for the gov*
eminent of the army has never been
lifted from bis shoulders. Even on
shipboard he is an indefatigable work*
er, planning and writing through tha
days.
Oen. Boeth Honored.
One of tbe most remarkable of the
many tributes psid to the general by
the great of the world was that of the
mikado of Japan during the visit to
that country. The mikado personally
received the general with great
warmth and he was accorded remark
able ovations In Yokohama, Tokyo,
Sendai and Kyoto, a circumstance of
strange Import when It is realised that
Japan is not a Christian country.
Another interesting distinction given
Gen. Booth was the conferring on him
of the degree of doctor of civil law by
Oxford university. The significance
of this honor will be better under
stood when it is stated those who re
ceived university honors with him at
the time were Prince Arthur of Con
naught, the prime minister ot Eng
land, the lord chancellor, the speaker,
Sir E. Grey, the archbishop of
Armagh, Sir Evelyn Wood, the Ameri
can ambassador, Mark Twain and
Rudyard Kipling.
As a writer Gen. Booth Is remark
able, both as a stylist, as a thinker
and as a producer. He has written In
all 21 volumes, besides innumerable
articles for the army publications.
His best-known book is "In Dsrkest.
England and the Way Out." in which
he outlined his scheme for social re
form by means of colonisation. "The
Training of Children," "Love, Mar
riage and the Home," and his books
on reform sre among the others of
the general's best-known literary pro
ductions.
His Oreatnsss In Time of Trial.
The greatness of this born leader
of men shone with especial bril
liancy during that most trying period
in the history of the movement, when
disagreements caused a split in the
Army's American forces and they di
vided, one part becoming the Volun
teers of America with the general's
own son, Balllngton Booth, at Its head.
Through this serious break, which
threatened the progress of the work
for a time, the patriarch maintained
such a simple and dignified attitude of
acceptance as to strengthen greatly
hla position before the world.
Of "those who hsve left him" the
general wrote: "It was to be expected
that in such work as ours, demanding
as it does arduous toil and constant
self-denlsl and often real hardahips
of one kind or another, some should
prove unworthy, some should grow
weary and others should faint by the
way. It could not be otherwise for wa
are engaged in real warfare and who
ever heard of war without wounds or
losses? But even of those who do thus
step aside from the position of officers
a large proportion remain with us en
gaged In some voluntary effort In our
ranks."
Writes of His Crted.
Of his creed the general has written
very beautifully. He ssys:
"The simplicity of our creed has
been, as I believe it will remain, one
of the principal helps to our unity.
We stand for the old truths. The
faith which can be interpreted in
terms of duty, of unselfishness, of
purity, of love to God and man, is the
only faith we really care about. What
ever may be the case with the select
minority, the consciousness of sin,
the force of evil hsbit and the influence
of passion, are all vivid realities with
the great masses of the population.
To them we bring the promise of de
liverance by Jesus Christ."
England: "I say, Hammond, where
did I shoot?"
Hammond touched his moleskin cap
and replied: "Well, m'lord, begging
your lordship's psrding, I thinks as
'ow your lordship shot In the bloomln'
big spree around 'lm."

"is that the Insldes of their heads

712 cars passed here. With these
cars were 5,000 peraons. Besides,
about 5,000 more bought landseekers'
tickets, and it is presumed that 95
per cent of these filed, and either re
mained there or will go back within
the next six months. Even the late
laws giving better inducements—the
right to file on 320 acres in Montana
—do not seem to lessen the move
ment here. It is safe to say that the
desirable free lands will be pretty
well taken before another year.
