and claimed that the amount paia was
as a guarantee of their salary and
brought suit for damages.

years, filling numerous positions, and
In command of districts in Canada and
various states or the Union from Maine
to Washington. In each field of action
he had seen the work prosper, new ter
ritories had been opened up, new corps
enlisted, the number of workers in
creased and the work advanced In all
of Its branches, financial, social and
spiritual. During the time he had seen
many wonderful conversions of extraor
dinary cases.
In this new field Major Cousins said
he proposed to extend the work, and
during the two wveks that he had been
In Portland had already arranged for
opening new corps In the two smaller
cities of Washington, one of which
wouH be Dayton. He has found the
army prosperous all over this North
western territory, and the same en
ergy that had marked Its progress tn
the past would be continued in the fu
ture. -
