Tomato And Limburger
The establishment of a branch of the Salvation army at Ypsilanti has aroused an interest in that quarter, in those erratic but faithful religionists. 'lhe Commercial prints the following: The spirit of the army is illustrated by the following extract from reports of the work, which we copy from their national organ, the War Cry: Hicksville, L. I.- the writer and Capt. Matthison spent the week-end at Hicksville. Big crowds, as usual. In the Saturday night's meeting we were helped to spit-balls of putty and chewing gum, and also a donation of limburger cheese, which spoke for itself. Then, on Sunday night, the boys arrived in force, and conducted themselves so boisterously that we were compelled to close up, and the writer, whilst standing on the platform, received a present of a tomato at long range. It struck square on the forehead, and distributed itself impartially. Notwithstanding all these things, we can still say, "Victory through the Blood!" I understand that since then some of the boys have been arrested, but I do not intend to press the charge, because I think we can win them by kindness. Hallelujah! - Yotirs, tomatoes or no tomatoes. Capt. Jack Peake.
