Facts About the Salvation Army Synopsis

Excerpt from Facts About the Salvation Army: Aims and Methods of the "Hallelujah Band"

Salvation army. Monster demonstration. Marshal Ballington and Mrs. Booth will address the meeting to be held at Farwell Hall, Monday, Sep tember 24, at 8 o'clock p. M.

These were the words which arrested my attention one morning late in September of 1888 as I was rat tling along on the North Side cable cars in the city of Chicago. They were displayed on a huge poster in yellow, red, and blue, Salvation colors, in letters so large that he who fan, or rode at light ning speed on the North Side grip, might read and ponder over the message they conveyed.

I began to think - a cable car is very conducive to thinking of the spasmodic variety but I doubt if anything practical would have resulted from this beginning if something else hadn't happened just then.
