THE SALVATION ARMY.
AND AND OWEN SEAMEN
.(Contributed.)
The Salvation as' a street nuisance in New Zealand because its methods are antiquated and its bag of souls limited. In England, when the.smartest girls are out, they net< from ;s five to eight per head, per night. Report says they gave Owen Seaman thirty' pounds; to write a chorus for. a hymn, and to the copy sent-us the money was-well spent. Not© the defective internal rhyme in the first line, and the cunning way the ding-sing-ling is picked up (in last two lines) in wrong order, j So, now, sisters, all together! The bells of Hell go ding-a-ling-a-ling, (For you, but not for me;) On high the angels sing-a-ling-a-ling, (There's where I'm going to be.) Oh,■■death,.whore is thy sting-a-ling-a-b'ng, Oh, grave, thy victory? No ding-a-ling-a-ling, no sting-a-ling-a-ling, But sing-a-lihg-a-ling for me.
