SALVATION ARMY SIEGE.
THEEE WEEKS' EFFORT.
A UNIQUE CAMPAIGN. (BT CABLI—PRSS9 ISSOCUTIOH—COPTXIOHT.) (ACSTBAUAS AND X.I. CABLX ISSOCIATIOX.) (Received November 3rd, 2.45 p.m.) LONDON, November 2. A great Salvation Army seige will begin on Saturday and will last for three weeks. It aims at breaking down the people's indifference to religion. It will be preceded to-night by all-night prayer meetings in thousands of citadels throughout the country. Hundreds of thousands of Salvationists will offer massed prayers for the country's salvation, and many thousands of red hot gospellers will proclaim their "message of redemption in the streets.
The Army will go in mourning daily for a selected city or town, do penance for its sins, and pray for its Balvation. Members of processions in such towns will wear sackcloth arid funeral black. Another feature will be a Bible day, when every Salvationist will carry a Bible and read it from the gutters. Invasions of enemy territory are planned, U3ing tanks and armoured cars. Such "territory" includes public houses, where "drink parades" will be held!.
