A LIVING MIRACLE.
Speaking at Aberdeen, Mrs Commissioner Lamb, of the Salvation Army, referred to her experiences in America, and said: “They could read all they liked in the papers, hut they would believe her when she said she saw for herself a living miracle. She never saw a ragged child, a child cold or hungry, or a child she had to go up to and pity. She never saw' a drunk person. She had heard a great deal about the Bowery in New York, and she wanted to go to one of their wmrst shelters there. When she walked on to the platform at the shelter, she found a large gathering of men. clean and clad wholesomely, and the officer said it was the result of Prohibition, and that he acted as hanker to many of the men, and had thousands of dollars belonging to them.”
