SALVATION ARMY WOMEN.

The importance of. the Salvation Army’s work—especially the work of its women—over that of such people ns mere Premiers and politicians was brought out forcibly by Airs. Commissioner Hay in the Town-Hall (says the Sydney “Daily Telegraph.”) She took the hall by storm. She said she would have liked to take the whole company, Lieutenant-Governor and all, round the city to show them the army’s work. “If I had your talents, Mr. Holman,” said she, “j might have written to the Premier—-I understand he’s doing the grand in London now —and told him lie needn’t conic back I” (Laughter and applause.) Salvation Army women, she went on, had to carry their reputations in their hands. They were often thought to bo like the people they worked among. But even the young army girls didn’t mind that. “Wo leave to the men the heavy preaching and the laws,”

said she. “And we women don’t mini correcting the laws, too, I fell you, when they are wrong!” It was like buying house furniture j for men to interfere was foolish and useless. “I just tell them to go away and sit down,” said she. “So I say, wo don’t mind the laws, Air Premier; we’ll just alter them! (Applause and Luigbtci.) 1 say the work of the Salvation Army women is more important, because wo ar e bringing no these people to ho respectable citizens ” (Prolonged applause.)
