WILLIAM BOOTH. 
Founder and Commander-in-Chief of the 
Salvation Army. 
As theirs, the warrior knights of Christian 
fame, 
Who for the Faith led on the battle line, 
Who stormed the breach and swept 
through blood and flame 
Under the Cross for sign. 
Such was his life’s crusade; and as their 
death 
Inspired in men a purpose pure of 
taint— 
In some great cause to give their latest 
breath— 
So died this soldier-saint. 
* 
Nay, his the nobler warfare, since his 
hands 
Set free the thralls of misery and her 
brood— 
Hunger and haunting shame and sin that 
brands— 
And gave them hope renewed. 
Bruised souls and bodies broken by de¬ 
spair, 
He healed their heartache and their 
wounds he dressed, 
And drew them, so redeemed, his task to 
share, 
Sworn to the same high quest. 
Armed with the Spirit’s wisdom for his 
sword, 
His feet with tidings of salvation shod, 
He knew no foes save only such as warred 
Against the peace of God. 
Scorned or acclaimed, be kept his harness 
bright, 
Still, through the darkest hour, un¬ 
taught to yield, 
And at the last, his face toward the light, 
Fell on the victor's Held. 
No laurelled blazon rests above his bier, 
Yet a great people bows its stricken 
head 
Where he who fought without reproach or 
feax - , 
Soldier of Christ, lies dead. 
—Owen Seaman in London Punch.

milk should be added, as it is liable to 
curdle with the tomato.

New York City has over 700,000 
school children enrolled this Fall, and 
unfortunately school accommodations do 
not keep up with the number of chil¬ 
dren, so that many of them are on part 
time. This city is always building 
school houses, but never seems able to 
catch up witfi the children. The ex¬ 
pense of this juvenile army is enormous, 
though certainly no one will regret it so 
long as expenditures are wisely made. 
There are frequent complaints, however, 
of our present system as a preparation 
for future life-work. Some critics 
seem to think that every form of cul¬ 
ture for mind, body and moral being 
should be provided by the public 
school, relieving the parent of all re¬ 
sponsibility. This does not seem just 
either to the parents or to the tax¬ 
payer, and least of all to the children. 
Our own chief criticism is that too 
many of these children seem lacking in 
discipline or in regard for the rights 
of others. Neither the parents nor the 
school appears to give a sense of the 
beauty of self-control or moral restraint, 
and we see the effect of this both in 
actions and manners. However, the 
public school has not progressed to the 
point of one very modern philosophic 
school, where they consider that a child 
cannot develop individuality properly 
under any system of restraint. Hence 
at this school the children come when 
they like and leave when they like; they 
study as they like, and subjects of their 
own selection. We are told of one small 
boy who persisted in running up and 
down a class-room, yelling so loudly 
that other pupils who wished to study 
or recite could not do so. As his pei'- 
sonal ego tempted him to yell, the 
teacher felt it would be unethical to 
hinder him, so he told the noisy one 
that the class would leave the room to 
give him entire freedom, thus offering 
to turn out the orderly instead of the 
disorderly; however, the untrammeled' 
boy kindly offered to go outside to yell, 
instead of staying in the class-room, 
thus continuing to develop without anti¬ 
social coercion. It all sounds rather 
topsy-turvy to us, and we think many 
of us would feel, in such case, as though 
we would best express our personal in¬ 
dividuality through the medium of a 
judicious but unphilosophic spanking. 
All ceremonies are in themselves 
very silly things, but yet a man of the 
world should know them. They are the 
outworks of manners and decency, but 
would be too often broken in upon if it 
were not for that defense which keeps 
the enemy at a proper distance.—Lord

The horizon of vision, the 
circle which bounds our sight, 
has not changed. 
It is best observed at sea. 
Though the ships of today are 
larger than the ships of fifty 
years ago, you cannot see 
them until they come up over 
the edge of the world, fifteen 
or twenty miles away. 
A generation ago the horizon 
of speech was very limited. 
When your grandfather was a 
young man, his voice could 
be heard on a still day for 
perhaps a mile. Even though 
he used a speaking trumpet, 
he could not be heard nearly 
so far as he could be seen. 
Today all this has been 
changed. The telephone has 
vastly extended the horizon 
Talking two thousand miles 
is an everyday occurrence, 
while in order to see this dis¬ 
tance, you would need to mount 
your telescope on a platform 
approximately 560 miles high. 
As a man is followed by his 
shadow, so is he followed by 
the horizon of telephone com¬ 
munication When he travels 
across the continent his tele¬ 
phone horizon travels with 
him, and wherever he may be 
he is always at the center of a 
great circle of telephone 
neighbors. 
What is true of one man is 
true of the whole public. In 
order to provide a telephone 
horizon for each member of 
the nation, the Bell System has 
been established.
