The illusâ€" tration for the back cover depicts a winter scene with the Salvation Army g.ving one of their street services, while the vision of The Child surmounts the picture. On the inside of the front cover is an impressive picture of Niagara in the mighty thrill of winter. Printed in red on the inside back cover is a picture with a practicall moral a regular typical Sgalvation Army picture on that acâ€" count. It shows the fury of the burnâ€" ing forest, ang the helpful comment is made to this p‘cture by The War Cry: "Omne careless camper can convert Canâ€" ada‘s glory of the trees into a ragmg furnace."
