Benmiller Has Disastrous Blaze
Early Thursday morning fire whioh
threatened the entire village of Ben -
miller totally destroyed three build-
ings at an -estimated lose of nearly
$15,040. The blaze started in the rear
of James Montgomery's general store
and spread,to his garage and a barn
owned by William Straughaibi- All
three buildings were burned to the
foundation in 'fess than twee hours from
the time the fire was discovered, at
3.30 a.m. The Montgomery's lived in
'one-half of the building which housed
the store. They were .aroused by
Smoke and on investigation found the
store filled with smoke. They spread
the alarm and, while no flames .were
visible, men of the village cleared the
home of its furnishings, except the
piano and a few smaller articles.
There was no chance to remove the
stock from the store, and when the
flames broke out everything but ane
h'ou'sehold furnishings was lost. When
the flames finally did break through,
the two-storey structure went with a
roar in spite •of the efforts of a vol-
unteer bucket' brigade of two hundred
mien and women who gathered from
the district farms.

(Contianued from last 'Week)
Tile responlse of the prison clientele
was perfect, Even officialdom came to
realize that . "the Major's" meetingS
were good for he men, and that un-
questionably'tihey were easier to han-
dle after "having been subjected. to one
of his emotional blizzards. Not only
that, but many thousands became
"new creature's in Christ Jesus," and
thereafter devoted their waking mo-
ments to promoting peace and amity
among members of Abe prison fratern-
ity.
Grooving out of his success as an
occasional %evangelist to the prison.
population, Lt: Colonel Hlabkdrk ("Ma-
jor" to his friends) finally ''evolved a
unique ministry , which .bas not yet
been equalled inside or outside of Sal-
vation Arin'y cirel'es: the holdt]ng .of
protracted revival meetings within
prison walls.
The idea was furnished seven or
eight year ago by a "five times los-
er" in the state •penatentiery at Lan-
sing, Kans., who asked if it would not
be possible forth Colonel to hold a
revival 'campaign in the institution.
Th'e thought was new, both to the
Army and to prison officials. Willing
to try every experiment that promised
to help the men towards a better life,
both parties finally gave permission,
the one condition being that the meet--
ings were to be held in the daytime,
the men not being allowed out at
night.
That was several years ago, At the
time of retiring from active service
LI - Colonel Habkirk had worked up
this phase of prison ministry until he
was conducting a car ipaign a month.
The meetings had become an integral
part of the yearly program of some
of the largest penal institutions in
the mid -west area, and were looked
forward to by prison inmates and of-
ficials alike.
Attendance at the meetings, though
entirely voluntary, usually was all
that could be desired. In the state
pniso'n at Jackson', Mich., the Colonel
conducted two or three meetings a
day !for a week, the average attend-
-nee at each meeting being about 800.
At tthe Hutchinson, Kans., Boys' Re-
formatory, where the 700 present rep-
resented one •hupdred per cent. at-
tendance, and where a penitent -form
as allowed, 137 boys volunteered for
Christ in one week.
For two or three years followitn'g
the holding of the first series of re-
vival meetings within prison walls,
the Colonel occasionally was assailed
with doubt as to just how much per-
manent good these meetings were ac-.
compliehing.. I•t almost seemed to him
that his contact with the men ceased
with the show of hands that indicat-
ed the great and eternal decision'. It
occurred to him that it might be pos-.
sible to prescribe for them a Bible
study course similar to that offered
by The Salvation Arany to its Corps
Cadets end candidates in the Ad-
Vannced Training courses.
Permission to undertake the ;experi-
ment finally was obtained from Terri-
torial Headquarters and prison au-
thorities, and Major Katherine Knight
eland, after the Major's retirement,
Captain Adolf Kohler) was appointed
as officer -in -charge of .the preparation
of lessons and marking of papers.
At the end of each section of the
course the student is handed a small
certiflcate. Three small certifl'Cates
merit a larger one. Many ex -pris-
oners are immensely proud of the
ibie-study certificates, and many oth-
rs continue to do the lessons at home
after they are" released from prison.
At the moment of writing Capt. Koh-
ler is marking the papers of about
2,00t1 students.
Through this specific study many of
the men have learned to know not
only tibe Scriptures, but God ; their
Author.
All his life, it seems, Lt. -Colonel
Habkirk has kept a diary, From it he
learns that, during the twelve and a
half years he has served in the Cen-
tral
n-
tral U.S.A. Territory, he has conduct-
ed 995 prison meetings, has spoken in
the name of tele Lord to over half a
million men and women in penal in-
stitutions, has seen 11,602 definitely
accept Christ as •their Saviour and has
personally interviewed thousands of
prisoners in death cells, solitary con-
finement, hospitals—in every con•ceiv
able place where he has found men
needing advice and spiritual enlighL-
enten ens.
e
It was bya painful wrench that Lt. -
Colonel Habkirk was able to separate
himself from his beloved duties to the
"forgotten man." His distress was
soinewhat assuaged, however, when
hundreds of letters began to pour in-
to his and Commissioner McIntyre's
office the moment the news of his im-
pending retirement was noised abroad.
Example: says Chaplain Rees of
Ft. Madison, la.—"I don't know ''if
there is any other one man who has
rendered us the service that Lt. -Cola
Habkirk has done. Tli,e boys are al-
ways .asking when she is coming back.
�Ie certainly has done a fine job. We
hate to think of his being off the
job!"
It became Commissioner McIntyre's
pleasure to inform him and hundreds
of other kind friends 'that, althougth
"the Major" andl his banjo were sche-
duled for a rest, nothing was to pre-
vent their occasionally appearing on
the seepe, should healtth permit. In
fact, Lt: lonel Illabkirk announced
that, should he fill all engagements
offered h•iai, he should be kept busy
,for at least two years!
1:
Although, as will be seen, the man
John Cowan Habkirk, '(itll his songs
and poems, his banjo -playing, his al-
most -red hair and his genius for
friendship, has "Stolen the show" in
this review, no orie is more ready
than ;he • to acknowledge that, 'had it
not been for the ,steadying hand of
the comrade and •home•+ma$e,r he
ohtose away back there in Winnipeg
in 1898, the faults of his qualities
most have come near to wrecking
hits at more than ,one point in his
career. But Mrs. Hablid•rk under-
stood her Man and gave- the best
years of her life to guarding his
home and thieir'joint interests.
Of staunch Wesleyan 'stoclt, Mrs.
Habkh'kt-=at that time little Louisa
,r-
pan
%eatim--was taken to a Salvation
Army meeting by her uilcles with
whone. she was ependding the Christ-
mas 1:11o1ddays in Rugby, Eng. (scene
of "ToIn Brown's School Days"). The
drum and hallelujah hilarity did not
appeal to her, but, being herself a
child, the 'singing of two juniors .did.
She recalls that the officers in charge
were Captain Brewer and Lieut. Phil-
lipa, and that the wspecial" •for the
day"r' was "Happy Jack" Southall.
She was not converted at that dime;
but at sixteen or seventeen years of
age sthe gave her heart to. God in a
revival meeting in her, home church:
She later became interested in the
Army, and in 1889 was .enrolled as
a soldier. The next year found her a
cadet in the London Training Garri-
son where the present General Evan-
geline Booth was tike Field Commis-
sioner.
She was commissioned in 1891 and
sen to assist at Elgin',. Scotland, and
lateF,'' with the rank of Oaptaiya, com-
manded Lerwick (Shetland Islands),
Inverness, Wick, Aberdeen (pro tem),
Banff—eleven oorps in all.
When, bout this time, the Founder
visited Canada and decided that a
few more officers were needed, En-
sign Louisa Walton was one of the
few chosen to be transferred.
When stationed in Brandon, Man.,
as was •nye.n.ttoned^•in last week's in-
etallunent of this •story, she sent a
financial SOS to Headquarters "and
was rewarded with her War Cry bill
and the services of the man who was
to become her husband—Captain
John' Habkirk, •banjo -player and.
author—at, this precise time!—of the
familiar Salvation Army song, "I'm
Glad I'm a Salvation Soldier."
In time Ensign Walton's voice
gave out and she was sent to Helena;
Montana, to rest it and to superin-
tend a rescue ,home. Marriage and
a home of ,her own soon followed. ,
While Lt.-C.olon'el Habkirk has been
doing the "specialing" these twelve
ar-'di a halt' years, Mrs. Habkirk has
been doing th'e "soldiering." In addi-
tion to regularly attending meetings
at the Kedzie Corps where she is
loved and revered by a large 'circle
of frierds, she has done her part as a
League of Mercy .worker, visiting
both jails and ,hospitals, with special
attention given to the comforting of
relatives,
As this issue of The War Cry- goes
to press Mrs. Habkirk is on the At-
lantic, bound for her native land,
while the Colonel, at his son's hone
in tthe Canadian capital, is preparing
for an extended tour across Canada.

fifteen years. Since 1903, •when the
minister was called to St. Andrew's
Church in New Westminster, Mrs.
Henderson had been identified with
her husband, in the life of British Co-
lumbia. She was active he the Pio-
neer's Association and with numerous
church welfare interests. She gave
her husband invaluable support when
he assumed the onerous duties as sec-
retary of Social Service for the Pres-
byterian Church in Canada in 1913,
and in 1918 She made her 'home in
Vancouver when he was called by St.
Andrew's Church there. Before Dr,
Henderson retired in 1925 the efforts
of him and his wife had restored the
church' to a strong position, made it
free of debt and prepared it for en-

ada. Three years ago when Mrs.
Henderson' celebrated. her golden
wedding anniversary with her hus-
band, congratulations were showered

Sugar Beet Crop
Present indications are that the su-
gar beet crop will yield well above
average this year. and have a high
sugar content. Preliminary tests
showed an average auger content of
nearly 15 per cent. on September 1st,
which is ,higher than at this date for
several years. Root development was
particularly good .during August ani
estimates now place production in ex
cess of 1.0 tonsper acre- With, the
high temperatures and hunciditya
