SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1928. * : 4 The extent of the work which the lo- cal Salvation Army Corps has been carrying on in the city of Kingston is certainly not understood by the ma, jority of the citizens. The local offi- cers Ensign Bosher and Mrs. Bosher, who are in charge of the work at the present time, are very hard workers and few know what they are doing among the people here. 2: A press representative of the War Cry recently visited Kingston and wrote an article which appeared in the April 4th issue of the War Cry, which "we reprint ingpart as follows: "Twelve meetings were held last Sunday," quietly remarked -- Ensign Bosher to. a "Gry" representative, "and," continued the Ensign, "twenty nine meetings represent an aver age week's work in our Corps." "It is quite apparent," the represen- tative ventured, "that a great deal of your work is carried on amongst In- stitutions and Homes of the City. Are beseeching us to interest ourselves in their loved ones. The character of our work can best be judged by the fol- lowing: --A 'man was taken il in the Penitentiary. He sent for me to.visit him in thé prison hospital, and 'made two requests; first, that he might be pointed to Christ; second, that it be arranged for him to die outside prison walls. His first request was soon granted, as after I had read from the Word and prayed with him he saw the Light and professed conversion. His release from the Institution was effected and when I approached the Superintendent of the city hospital and detailed the circumstances he glad- ly-admitted him tothe focal hospital until removed to Toronto with his sis- ter. He was tenderly nursed and his remaining hours were made as restful as his condition would allow. I visited him just previous to his death and felt amply compensated for any effort ex- pended. , "Then again, this is a sample of let- KINGSTON'S CENSUS BOARD.

We have, among the youthful element of the Corps, some most pro- mising material, and we are, by Divine aid, endeavoring to mould them into fighting Soldiers. 'We are proud, first of all, of our Corps Cadet Brigade, which numbers twenty. Four are Higher Grade Corps Cadets, who are taught by Lieutenant Miriam Ritchie, and the remainder are Lower Grade Cadets in the care of Mrs. Bosher. During my stay in Kingston two corps cadets have become officers, one is now in the garrison and three are preparing to enter.

"The Army is very | firmly entrenched in the affections of Kingstonians, and we number our friends among all classes. An automo. | bile, which is only a few months ald, | and given for Corps purposes, is the | gift of a benevolent citizen. A $4,000] legacy was recently willed to Army which permitted the purchase | of the officers' quarters, and the other day a lady friend, who is interested in the Home League took Mrs. Bosher | shopping and purchased enough ma-| terial to keep our Leaguers busy for some time to come. The churghes also work hand in hand with The Army. For instance, the band, on a recent evening, gave a programme of music in the Anglican church, which is the! first time for many years that such an event has taken place" "What about your relief work, En. sign?" "It commends itself to the people. We are keeping the wolf from the! door of scores of unfortunate families which have been reduced to desperate straits because of unemployment and sickness, Last month's coal supply for these people cost over $200 and be- tween twenty and thirty people were benefited. Groceries and clothing are also provided where needful. Only those who have been assisted in this mannér can appreciate fully what it means. Here is a sample of the ap- pekls which reveal how acute is the distress and how justified we are in the relief measures' adopted and put into practice. " 'Please can arrange to send up some coal? Very sorry to ask you but we have a three months' light and water bill to pay this week which will i take all we possess above the food bill for the week-end. I am awful sick this morning and could not go to work. We only have one pail of coal t.! "We have many demands upon us" the Ensign resumed. "Truly The | Army Officer is a 'servant to all! A lady telephoned from the hospital and enquired whether I would drive her is appreciated J ters we frequently receive from afix- ious relatives :-- "'I am writing in reference td my Aunt's boy, who has been sent to the penitentiary. Poor Aunty, she does worry over that wayward boy who was not altogether bad but was easily led. He got into bad company which led him into serious trouble, for which he is now serving three years, He is only nineteen. I wish you would The | write and give her good news that Edward is learning. to be a man. She has built hopes of your helping, him to be good,' I have already got in touch with the lad and am doing what I can." "You have a splendid helpmate in Mrs. Bosher," we ventured to say. "Yes," the ensign replied, "she is very busy. Her work as police matron is, of course, of an extensive character, but in addition to that there are such efforts as membership in the Royal Victoria - Order of Nurses, the Wo. men's Council, the Executive of La- dies' Aid, and of the Poor Relief. There duties engage her time early and fate, and then, there'is' her work in the Corps, much of the regponsibi- lity of which falls upon her shouldess." "What about the corps Hoey? was our next query. "Our soldiers' meeting perhaps, should be emphasized. We are at- tempting to develop otir Soldiers in Army practices and principles and to assist them in obtaining a broader vi- sion of our great organization. To this end we bend every effort. Our Colors drape the reading-desk; excerpts are read from 'Rules and Regulations,' and these, although almost as old as The Army itself, break upon minds and hearts with a freshness and force which is amazing, An address, harmonizing with the subject in-hand is then given and fre- quently revelation brings complete surrender. Our Knee-Drill, too, is not without its encouraging features.

"Yes, it is, and to a far greater ex- tent than it would be wise to publish. We receive many letters and requests from | heart-broken mothers and wives if any branch could worthily take as its motto 'Others.' this could, for prac. tically all its members do is for the benefit of others.

Mothers everywhere who have used Baby's Own Tablets for their children speak in enthus- lastic terms of them. For instance, Mrs. Zepherin Lavoie, Three Rivers, 21e., writes:--"Baby's Own Tablets are a wonderful medicine for little ones. They never fail to regulate the baby's stomach and bowels, and make him plump and well. I al- ways keep a box of the Tablets in the house and would advise all mo- thers to do likewise." Most of the ordinary aliments of childhood arise in the stomach and bowels, and can be quickly banished by Baby's Own Tablets. These Tablets relieve con- stipation and indigestion, break up colda and simple fevers, expel worms. allay teething pains and promote healthful sleep. They are guarin- teed to be free from injurious drugs and are safe even for the youngest and most delicate child. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25¢. a box from The Dr. Wil- Hams' Medicine Co.; Brockville, Ont.

Madura, the second largest city of southern India, contains a temple [that would remain world-famous even {if some dire catastrophe should lay low the mighty gates that make its presence known from a distant view of the city. The nine gates are not gates in the ordinary sense of the word. They are vast ornamental pyramids that tower up {to a height of 152 feet. The door | posts are single stones 60 feet in {height. The gates rise, course upon course, exquisitely carved with a he- | wildering array of bulls, goddesses, | peacocks, gods, lions, elephants, {horses and --symbolical ornaments. RoW' upon row they rise, the finest carving in all .of southern India. Estimates have placed the figures on each gate as high as forty thousand. The city of" Madtira is more than 2,000 years of age, but the temple and its gates date from the early portion of the sixteenth century. A curious incident is noted here, . for the temple was constructed at the Same time that the Mogues were lav- ishing their power and wealth on the architectural wonders away to the north in the vicinity of Agra and {Delhi. Some have expressed the op- inion that the wonderful structure was planned, not so much as a pite of worship, but as an=object lesson to show the people that the Hindu rulers could do anything that the Moguls could carry out, and perhaps even go one better. Within the Bates the elaborate carving is contihued until it reaches its climax in the Hall of a Thousand Idols. The temple and gates cover a Space exceeding twenty-five acres. -- SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS. ------ No man has come to true great. ness who has not left in some degree that his life belongs to his race, and that what God gives him, he gives him for mankind. --Phillips Brooks. * eo We kneel, how weak; we rise, how full of power!--Trench. ~ - - " Light of Eternity, Light Divine, Into my darkness shine, That the small may appear small And the great greatest of all, Light of Eternity, shine! --Anon. - » - Truth, like the sun, obscured, but, like the a time.--Bovee. - submits to be sun, only for If any of you lack him ask of God, that man lberaly, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.--pJas. 1:5. * ss a When love is strong, It never tarries to heed, Or know it its return exceed Its gift: in its sweet haste, no greed, No strite belong. & Helen Hunt Jackson. . - Help thy brother's boat and lo! thine own gan, shore.--Hindu Proverbs.

Watkins Became Wealthy as a Hardware Merchant--Built Wing of the General Hospital. Many people will have some dif- ficulty in recognizing the accompany ing view of the north side. of Prin cess street at the corner of King, | although several! of the buildings are, or were until recently, very little changed. It has not been pos- sible to date the photograph exactly, | but it is probably earlier than 1870. | The finer details of the photo- graph cannot, of course be repro- duced in a newspaper print. From the picture, which is very clear, with the aid of a magnifying glass, many details about the old street may be The sidewalk is built of flag stones about a foot or so square and quite uneven. The roadway had been improved by dumping broken stone on it, and the wheel tracks show that, as usual, vehicles kept to the roadside to avoid the loose stone, To-day the whole level of street and | walk is nearly a foot higher than ft was at this time. The first building at the left, now occupied by the Dominion Stores, dence at the time of this picture. Then comes a laneway which still exists, with the sign "Walker, Paint- er and Glazier" across it. The next building, which bears the large sign "'Sons of Temperance Hall" and in the arch over the door "Mechanics Institute," is the one now occupied by Elliot Bros. and T. H. Stewart. The upper part is still exactly as in this picture but the painting of the stonework has com- pletely altered the character of the building. Doubtless what passed for a public library that of the Mechan- ics Institute,/was housed here. An old citizen recalls that at a some- what later date those stone steps which so curiously obstruct the walk had been removed and the door set back in, so that one mounted to it by steps set into the building, At that time, Mr. William Armstrong, secretary of the school board, had his office here and also kept the school library, which was available for the use of school children and their relatives. Like all libraries of that day, the books were securely guarded behind a wicket and: selec- tions weré made from the well thumbed catalogue which hung in front. The 'high wall of the next struc- . ture will easily be recognized as the vest wall of the Robertson building ~hich was demolished after the fire this year. The front of the build- ing had been altered considerably. The sign "J. Watkins & Comp'y Hardware" on the end wall and the similar sign above the second storey window belonged to an older order, for just above the door one- reads "Saul Muckleston." Watkins was Mr. Muck]eston's somewhat eccea- tric but extremely generous prede- cessor who built the Watkins wing at the General Hospital and founded the Watkins scholarships at Queen's. His money was made in that build. Ing, for it is said that he made three hundred per cent. on his hardware. He came to Kingston as a young man from Montreal and after an attempt to establish- himself here left, but afterwards returned and grew rich. At his death he made heavy bequests to 8t. George's cathedral, besides.the others already mentioned. When this picture was taken Mr. Muckle- ston had arranged along the front of his shop a line of shovels, pitch- forks, : bucksaws and parts of wag- gons to catch the fancy of passing farmers. Whether the cat that ap- pears to be sitting in the doorway was for sale or not cannot mow be ascertained. Bither Mr. Muckleston had his windows entirely blocked with large advertisements or else his blinds, on which was lettering of Some sort, were down at the time this was taken. There is then a hallway and then the door and narrow window of the next shop which, from the mortar and pestle posing above, must have been an apothecaries. This was probably the drug store of Mr. Skin- ner. The next building bears the sign "The Daily News" and the white corner building was at this time or later, the residence and office of Dr. Michael Sullivan. What is now a partly subterranean taxi office was the support of the doctor's veran- dah and the entrance to his surgery. All that remains to be mentioned are the hitching posts in front of the stores. The solitary gas lamp d the ladders which reach to ery chimney in the picture, evidently in fulfillment of a city ordinance of the period. ------n METHODIST CONTRIBUTION T0 UNION | By Rey. Dr. Sipprell, D.D., Metropolitan Church, Victoria. (Substance of a recent sermon preach. ed at Wesley Church, Vancouver.) "That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me." --John 17.21. The Union of the Congregational, Methodist and Presbyterian Churches is the greatest eyent in the history of Canada. No one can tell what its in- fluence will be on the religious, social, industrial and intellectual life of the country, The strength of the United Church will be, all of Methodism, all of Con- I gregationalism, and four-fifths of Presbyterianism; probably 9,000 churches and more than a million Com- | municants I have deep sympathy for! those who are not entering the Union through their determined allegiance to | places, the church of their fathers, I am surprised at the strength the vote against Union, seeing that the way of progress lies in that direction.

Her schools and colleges number 17, with 6,420 stu- dents, and property valued at $8,000, 000. In the mission field the Methodist Church has in Canada 611 missions, 10 hospitals, 73 schools, 16 institutes, several : social centres ministering to English-speaking, non-English speak- ing, French, Chinese, Japanese, and ndians. In Japan there are 285 preachers, 33 day Schools and a college with men receiving a Christian education. In China there are 110 preaching 1,600 young. ---------- CRIMEAN VETERAN TELLS THE them."
