SALVATION ARMY.

General Booth left London on Saturday, July 25th, by the steamship Royal Scott, bound for South Africa. The " Royal Scott " was escorted down the Solent by eight steamers containing 4000 Salvationists. Bands were playing, and banners flying about the little army fl«et. The utmost enthusiasm whs shown.

The General is due at Hobart from South Africa on September 16 th. He will then visit different parts of Australia, including a series of meetings in the Centennial Hall, Sydney. From Sydney he comes to Wellington, where the first New Zealand reception will be held on Tuesday, October 20th.

The General, after three weeks stay in New Zealand, leaves again for Australia, via the Bluff. After a series of tremendous meetings in Melbourne, he leaves for Adelaide, where the farewell Australasian meetings will be held previous to sailing for India. Colonel M'Kie and Staff-Captain Plant have had wonderfully successful times in their meetings at Invercar • gill, Dunedin, and Oamaru, close upon 200 people having been forward to the penitent form at these three places. After holding meetings in Christcharch the Colonel visits the West Coast. Another batch of busbmon, 14 in number, were despatched this week from Christchurch to Wellington by the Salvation Army Labour Bureau, work having been found for them in the Wanganui District. These men were under the charge of Staff Capt. Bobiuson, who will see them safe'y to their destination. It is proposed to shift the Central Bureau to Wellington, as being a better basis of opera, tions. The students of Cambridge University (England), recently debated the methods of the Salvation Army. The discussion was, on the whole, serious and sensible. The vote showed well for the Army, which it supported by a majority of eighty-four to fifty.

An excellent sketch, " In a Salvation Army iJheUer," beautifully and realistically illustrated, the picture, " Her first night" being most pathetic, appears in the new sixpenny weekly, " Black and White." To say that it is from the pen of Mrs Lynn Linton, is to say that it is eminently read* able, and that the treatment is sympathetic. Tho Shelter sketched is the women's flanbury Htreet, mid-

way between Whitechapel and Spitaifields, the venue of "Jack the Ripper."
