At the Army-Endeavour amalgamation on Thursday evening, at Hamilton,, in responding to Colonel Mrs Bailey welcoming the Rev. »J. iMatther' and the Christian Endeavour Society to the meeting, the re/, gentleman said he was very pleased to be present on that occasion, The largest Salvation Army meeting h& ; had ever attended was in' the Crystal Palace, in London, about, four years ago t when over 40,000 people had assembled themselves together.
