The "War Cry," tate otlicial S. A.
organ in Canada, reproduced the photo-
graph of Captain Jones 01 the Clinton
Staff and the following article in a re-
cent issue: -The father and mother
• of Captain Annie Jones (Clinton) are
veteran Salvationisfs. It is no wonder,
then, that her conversion should have
taken place when site was but seven
years of age.
From the time of my conversion
(writes the Captain) 1 had a strong
desire to work for God, and when I
was old enough 1 became a Corps
Cadet. Still I was not satisfied; it
seemed that God wanted me to do
something more for Him, but 1 could
not entertain the though of leaving
home. For some months this seemed
to hold me back from answering what
1 knew to be a call from God for
Offieership, • nd at 'lenght 1 felt that
if 1 couldn't leave home for Je`sus'
sake, that 1 would lase the precious
blessing which God had given to me.
While 1 was in this state of mind,
Brigadier Cameron, with the women
Cadets of the 1912-13. Session, came
to do a week end at our Corps, and
on that day 1 consecrated my life to
God or service, 1 saw God had helped
those Cadets to leave their hones for
Him, and felt he would also be sufficient
for ore.
Through obeying God I have a clear
experience to -day. While the path of
service has not been always the easiest
way, I rejoice that God has helped ale,
and 1 love the work 1 am engaged in.
The greastest joy of my life is to Lead
sinners to the Cross.
My greatest victory Since becoming
an Officer has been to overcome my
own feelings. When it has seemed that
all have been against me and everything
has been so dark and discouraging that
1 have scarcely been able to see one
step ahead, filen 1 have claimed the
promise of God, which says, "1 will In-
struct thee and teach thee in the way
that dhou*shalt go"; relying on this I
have become conqueror,
Capt. Jones will give her farewelll

CENTRE HURON MEMBER OF LEGIS-
LATURE MAKES DECLARATION
IN TORONTO
TORONTO, June 22. -Mr, William
l'toudfoot' (Centre• Huron,) a leading
member of the Liberal party in the
Ontario Legislature, spoke in favor of
conscription at a meeting of the North
Riverdale Liberal Association in Play-
ter's Hall last eveoing. He said neither
one party nor the. other had much to
brag about in the present situation at
Ottawa, or the control the leaders
seemed to have over the various ele-
ments in their parties, A great deal
of the difficulty had been brought
about by Canada's part in the war not
being propertly looked ,after by the
Borden Government, 1110 affairs of
the nation had been mismanaged in
the grossest kind of way, but he was
willing to snake allowances, because
the men at the head of the various
Government departments had been cal -
ed upon to deal with matters that were
entirely new to them.
Should Use Militia Act.
brad the Government started nut
with a strong hand, however, and
made use of the Militia Act, he be-
lieved things would have been entire-
ly different,_ ,Quebec had not done very
well in the matter of recruiting, but
the Government was partly to blame,
because the man sent down to that
Province in charge of recruiting was
a Methodist minister, • Methodist min-
isters were all right in their places,
but Quebec was not on of those
places, What would have happened
if a Catholic priest had been placed
in charge of recruiting in Ontario?
Cannot Side with Lanier.
Referring to the need of reinforce-
ments at the front, Mr. 'lsroudffoot said
he had received many letters from the
flying line which told how urgently
reserves were wanted to till up the
gaps, lits own son had been wounded
twice, and in a few weeks would be
returning to the firing line, "I would
have been much better pleased," lie
asserted, "had Sir Wilfrid Laurier seen
itis way clear to come oat boldly for
cotscriptiotx" (Applause,) His atti-
tude in this connection was much the
sabre as the attitude of Messrs. Hugh
Guthrie and P. 1°, Pardee, Ontario Lib-
eral members of llie House of Coln.
mous, He did not like to say anything
against Sar Wilfrid Laurier, the revel.
ed leader of the Liberal party.
