SALVATION ARMY.
VISIT OF COMMISSIONER HAY.
INTERESTING- ADDRESS GIVEN
Commissioner James Hay, 0.8. E., Commander-in-Chief. of the Salvation Army in New Zealand, delivered an inspring and remarkable. address on Thursday upon “The World-wide- Activities of the Salvation Army.” Founded but 62 years ago, it was today a marvel of organisation, containing the world’s leading talent and social reform. There were 18,000 stations and over 2,000,000 adherents. The Commissoner, referring to the comparatively small audience, said that it was deplorable the number of people who cared nothing for the world’s social and economic situation and whose standard of intelligence and responsibility rose no higher than a picture theatre or a dance hall.
Mr W. J. Towers ably chaired the meeting, and the Commissioner was s ipported by Lieut.-Colonel J. JToomer, Divisional Commander.
In spite of the polar .tendency of the temperature the Commissioner by his natural forcefulness and thorough first-hand knowledge of his romantic subject held his representative audience for the period lecture.
