bon-nets and sang while they beat their tambourines tam-bourines with both hands Behind the Salvation Basses marched the soldiers They all had red shirts lettered Salvation Army in black and trousers of blue with red stripes Their caps were half red and half black and in the middle of their ranks rolled the war chariot with the Michigan captains The war chariot was a big open barouche and the Michigan captains carried banners Male officers with spurs rode astride cab horses on either side of the chariot There were nearly 400 of the paraders and they burst into the academy like a tornado painted red The army massed itself tier on tier on the platform until it filled up the whole stage Major Smith threw the full volume of his lungs into a burnished conductors whistle for sixty seconds and knocked all the rest of the noise in the building endwise with the unexp ected metallic shriek Then the major smiled and announced an-nounced that the jubilee would open with a holiness convention It opened two seconds later and Superintendent JIurphy of the academy clapped his hands to his ears and shouted to janitor Gillame that he never again in all his life expected to look upon such a marvel lous and unexampled spectacle The major said the Salvation Army wanted the whole community to be blest The army said Amen all together with a roar The major was a trapeze performer per-former before he became army commander command-er His bushy hair stood out in all directions di-rections and his spectacles danced on his nose while he spoke When he heard Me cyclonic amen he pulled out a big red handkerchief waved it in the air and called out Captain Walsh The captain used to be a drunkard He seized a banjo and sang shutting up his long body anc opening it out straight again like a jackknife jack-knife while he sang and the whole of the army stood up and joined in the chorus It was modelled after the introductory intro-ductory song of the king of the Penzance pirates and set to the same tune Nc pirates on earth ever heard anything like the rendering of this extract Im a salvation soldier One of the noisy crew I shout when I am happy And that I mean to do Some say I am too noisy I know the reason why And if they felt the glory Theyd shout as well as I I am a child of a king I am I am a child of a king It is it is a glorious thing To be a child of a king The maje soldiers whirled around and around and shouted The women banged their tambourines and waved from side to side Staff officers stood up in the aisles and waved the army flags and everybody howled I In ten minutes the 250 captains who get 10 a week each from the army treasury treas-ury sat down altogether with a thud andre and-re Staffcapt Shirley and Mrs Capt kvans a chance to pray Capt Shirley prayed on his hands and knees with his head l > bent down till his nose touched the stage carpet and Mrs Capt Evans rocked like a tree top caught in a Wiggins gale Capt Blandey who says he used to be a loafer I in London held up while the prayer went on the first banner ever pre tented to the army The banner is a field of red with blue border There is star of golden fire in the centre and ann °

cap A string of salvation lasses beating silver tambourines marched out on the stage headed by a captain lass who beat a brass drumr They marched around and around each other until they looked as though they were tied up in a giant knot of red and black It was an exhibition of how the army works to reclaim sinners The spectators applauded wildly and Major Smith asked them why the outside world should won der at the success of the when army converts con-verts had a spectacle like that nightly to attract them Then the major begged everybody to look at the little canaries on their seats The canaries were canary colored subscription slips and the spec i tators hauled out pencils and promptly put down their names when the major blew his whistle They rained coin on the plates in addition a regular shower when the sergeant went through the aisle to collect contributions for the Spiritual Extension Fund of the army Then the army relit its torches and marched back i to the barracks in
