It required. a canvas broad as the prairie to contain this heroic romance. It called for. the hand of Gilbert Parker adequately to sketeh the pieture.and to fill it with the bold outlines of prim- eval phission and the delicate shades of refining love," : is book is the story of big impulses, ennobling love, splendid sacrifices, and immortal Reed. > Tllustrated by W.

Empress of Ireland, as it was retold at the memorial service held in the Salvation Army citadel on Sunday af- ternoon, brough tears to the eves of many. It was a solemn and impressive ser- vice for those who went down to a watery grave, on Friday morning, May 20th, in one of the worst marine dis- asters known in history. | And while it was a service in which sadness prevailed, there was some: thing magnificent in it all, for it show- ed an army, struck down with a ter rible loss in leadership, fighting the good fight, and carrying oug the mes- sage of Miss Eva Booth, leader of the Salvation Army in the United States, who on receiving the news ofthe aw- ful calamity, said : "Let us not think oi the dead; our business is with the living." A most imposing ceremony followed the service at the citadel, when the ¢hildren of the Sunday school of the local corps formed in line, -aecom- panied by the senior members, and headed by the army's brass band, marched to the foot of Clarence street v and there threw floral and green wreaths into the St. Lawrence, as a tribute to the members of ~ the army who went down in the steamer. It was a simple service, but was watched by many a tear-dimmed eye. "The citadel was crowded to the 8 ! doors for the service, and many had {to be turned away. Mayor Shaw I | was chairman, and in addition to his | address there were addresses by Rev, William Craig, assistant pastor of Sydenham street Methodist church. Ald. T. F. Harrison representing the citizehs of Kingston, in the absence of W. F. Nickle, M.-P, Dr. A. E. Itoss, M. P. P., and Mrs. Smith, wife of Ensign Smith, of the local corps, at present in Kagland attending the Salvation Army conference, Rev. Edward Torrance offered prayer, ~We are gathered here to-day he- canse every heart has been touched by the awful calamity," said Mayor Shaw, in his address, in which he re ferred to the many brave men, cour- ageous women and children, who lost their life. The steamer had on board 146 members -of the Salvation Army, and they were not of the class who tried to save themselves and al- low the rest io go down. They were of the type who, in time of peril, of- fered their own life, so that others might be saved. One would always find that men and women who be- longed to Jesus Christ died well. Mayor Shaw paid tribute to Com- missioner Rees and Col. Maidment who lost their life in the disaster. Rev. William Craig said he would never forget the service conducted in the local citadel three weeks ago by Commissioner Rees. He would never forget his words of instruction. He made refe ce to the early days of the army iy ingston and the in- spiration he fad received from the army for Christian work. "The members of the army are a most self-sacrificing people," he ad- ded, "If all the church members threw themselves into the rescue work in the same way as the' Salva- tion Army, many more beople would find their way io Christ." Ald. T. F. Harrison said he spoke for W. ¥. Nickle, M.P.,: who was un- able to be present, and expressed the sorrow of citizens in the severe the army had sustained. No ter had touched the hearts of people of Kingston like this I'here was intense sympathy. Miss iva Booth, on hearing the news of the catastrophe, had said: 'Let wx not think of the dead; our husiness in with the living." This appeared to be the keynote of the success of the army all through its history. The members were ever thinking' and work ing for the lifting up of humanity of the heroism of passen gers on the ill-fated steamer Famipress of Treland the speaker said that faith in God made a man brave br. A. E. Ross spoke of the great lessons to be derived irom the aster. Try *as ops might to come the mysterids of life we not fathom them.

The speaker was m Toronto on Saturday attend. ing the big memorial service tor mem- bers who were drpwned in the disas- ter, and she told many touching stor: tes in comnection with the experiences of some of the survivors. A striking feature occurred when the army band played the "Dead March in Saul" and the members of the corps and audience stood with bowed head. 3 The programme also included a number of appropriate hymns and musical numbers, as follows : Opening hymn, "0 God Our in Ages Past'; hymm by the child- ren. "Shall We Gather At the Riv- er'; selection by the band; selection hv male fhoir, "Sleep, Beloved, Take Thy Rest"; closing hymn, "God Be With You Till We Meet Again."
