Four of the daughters and two of the daughters-in-law of "General" Booth are en - mend in the work of the Salvation Army. Kitty, the eldest child, now a "Marehal" and the wife of Mr. Clibborn, did much to develop the Army in Switzerland and Frence. Emma (noW Mrs. Tucker) made India her field of operations. Misses Eva and Lucy Booth, both young yet, are ar- dently interested, arid promise, in time, to rival their elder sisters in useful- ness. Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth is the - daughter of a clergyman. For a time she served in Switzerland, and was subjected to much persecution. As the wife of "t leneral" Booth's eecond son, and director of much of the Army work in the United States, she is widely and favorably known in that country. Mtb.
