SALVATION ARMY BARRACKS

Laying tlio Foundation Stone.

The lato hour at which this ceremony was performed yesterday afternoon, and pres sure caused on our space by other matter, compelled tho holding over of a portion of our report. Following the preliminary service and the short address by Stall-Captain Wright, Mr F. W. Boynton read the trustees' report, which was as fol lows :—To-day has been a season of special rejoicing to our hearts, and we thank Cod this foundation stone of our barracks (Tho House of the Lord) is now being laid. For a long timo the need of this building has been felt by the Army workers, and it is with great interest we watch the present operations. When we think upon the work of this afternoon, our thoughts go back to God's Word, and we Hud our hearts are in sympathy with hearts of old, even Cod's chosen children tho Jews, whon they re turned from tlio captivity whence they had been carried by Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, to rebuild the Temple of the Lord, and we read thoy shouted with a great shout, and praised tho Lord when the foundation of the house was laid. Yes. The voice of weep ing, too, was heard from the old men who remembered the glory of tho first hou.se. We thank Cod that there is no need for weeping with us this day, but only the sound of rejoicing and praise. Hallelujah ! And wo go further still with these temple builders, and plead with God to fulfil to us the promise given to Zorrub babel, tho Governor of Judith, at that time, that our hands which have laid tho foundation of this house may also finish it, that wo may know the Lord of Hosts is with us, and that the head stone thereof may bo brought forth with shoutings, crying "Crace, grace unto it." Again wo have a further .stronghold in the promise given thorn, "The silver and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of Hosts," and we are sure he will send us this, our need, and we leave tho disposing of hearts in his hands. He bids us be strong and work, " for I am with you," saith the Lord of Hosts. Halle lujah ! The object of raising this building is for none other purpose but to tell therein the power of the blood that cleanseth, and present free and full salvation to lost sinners. "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ," and not only is Ho our foundation, but our " chief corner stono, elect, precious, and ho that believeth on Him shall not bo confounded," and we shall rejoice there to hear it said from every quarter "This man was born there." In conclusion, wo have to say that the building will cost£2,6oo,outof which wehavopromises and cash paid amounting to £G2O 19s Gd, leaving nearly £2,000 more, which, as we have beforo stated, we are trusting to receive to enable us to open free ot debt.

Mrs Hampson's address, of which we gave a brief resumd yesterday, followed. Mrs Hainpson then formally laid the stone. In the cavity underneath the foundation stone was placed a zinc box, containing copies of the "Herald," Star, "Korimako," English, Australian, and New Zealand "War Cries," ls and Id as coins of the realm, and tlio following document: — " December 4, ISB3, Salvation Army, Auckland, New Zealand, No. 2 Corps. Barracks Building, l'rovisionaltrustees—C. 0. Davis, Alexander Mackie, John Castles, F. W. Boynton, Hon. Secretary and Treasurer, F. XV. Boynton. Foundation stone laid by Mrs Margaret Hainpson, Evangelist. Total costof building, £2,000." Ollicers :—John D. GrahamfL. M. Graham, captain and wife ; E. Wright, staff captain and commanding officer North Island division. Donations to the extent of £150 10s were laid on the stono, and the benediction hav ing been pronounced, the assemblage dis persed. Solroo and Praise Meeting. About COO sat down to tea in St. James's Hall, Mr D. Urubb being the caterer. An adjournment Mas subsequently made to the Theatre Royal, where a " praise " meeting was announced to bo held. Tho large building was soon lilled, the dress circle being crowded to excess with ladies and gentlemen. On the platform wero :—Mrs Hampson, evangelist, who wore tho blue rib bon and SalvationArinyshicld,supported by Stnll'Officer Captain TedWright.Captainand Lieutenant (Mrs) Graham, Rev. [Mr Bond, Rev. Mr Wills, Messrs Dormer and Phelps (American evangelists), Messrs Boynton, .1. Brame, S. Parker, C. J. Stone, Hampson, pin., and others. A choir composed of soldiers also occupied seats on the platform. The proceedings commenced by singing the 29th hymn, commencing, " We're a band that shall conquer the foe." Staff- Captain Wright and Private Littlg accom panied this and other hymns on tlio cornet. Prayer was offered successively by Captain i Graham, Mr S. Parker, and Mrs Hampson. Hymn No, 1, " When we Arrive.at Home," was followed by the reading of a portion of j the 15th chapter of St. Luke, containing ' the parable of the Prodigal Son, by Rev. • Bond.

Stall" Captain Wright then announced that at this stage of the meeting thoy would tako up the collection. He was not there to beg, but it was only appropriate that those who had met there to praise God for His great work should ovince their practical sympathy by contributing towards the cost of its further prosecution. He also asked those who had been supplied with yellow slips of paper (canaries) to write upon them the amount of their in tended contributions, and return them to tlio sergeants. With this introduction, the collector proceeded round the building, with tho result that the sum of £13 was taken in tho .boxes, while £14 was promised on canaries.

During tho timo occupied by taking up tho collection, Mrs Captain Graham sang tho solo, " Not my own, Saviour; I belong to Thee," tho chorus being supplied by the soldiers.

Mr F, W. Boynton, Treasurer, then made a financial statement, from which it ap peared that thero were* four provisional trustees for the building, and they were re sponsible and indebted for the whole amount until it is paid. The cost of the barracks would bo £2,600, and yesterday they had £620 19s Gd towards the amount in promises and cash, leaving a deficiency of £2,000 to bo made up. It was their de siro to open the barracks free of debt, and with the help of God he hoped they would do so.

Another "verse" was sung, and Captain Wright then announced that £150 had been laid upon the stone in donations. There wore four £25 cheques, and he did not know how tho remainder was mado up, but there was a farthing in one of the boxes, A general testimony was called for, and while a second verso was sung, sovera' hundred porsons stood up in vnno'"- „„. f " of the hall, and. by holding - Vp &e £C& B testified to having b_ n $ iv s w __ blossed attheme 9 tin^ ottheAl ,^ yi .._.i'S Hainpson then addressod the meet ing. Thoy had, she said, a foundation stone laying that afternoon, and since that timo there had been running through the corridors of hor wholo being the words in tho text from the 2Sth chapter of Isaiah, "Therefore, thus saith the Lord God, Behold I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation ;he that believeth shall not make hnsto." Taking this passage as' her text, Mrs Hainpson delivered a most stirring, forcible, and impres sive address to those present. The tenor of her remarks was that everyone should build on the sure foundation, Christ. They would find their position a safe and lasting one, while thoso who trusted to a less secure foundation would bo eternally lost. There wore, sho said, sceptics there that night who were trying to build upon nothing, upon a mero negation, but the ground was slipping from under their feet, and they W6re going down, down, down. She warned those who were putting oil' salvation that when the hand of death approached them their hearts would flutter with terror, while to thoso who had built upon the rock of salvation, death had no dark prospect, and it could not touch or affect them. Mrs Hainpson concluded in a most eloquent and really poetical peroration, but the spaco at our command prevents us from giving more than a small portion of it. In the course of hor peroration sho said: "I am now going to say good-bye until we meet before the great white throne, in the presence of Jesus Christ, God's Son, who tasted death for every man. He died your death, and paid your debt, working out, for you the righteousness that will stand tliotcstof life, and death, and the presence of Cod. He now stands before you, and holds out His hands. He asks that you will give Him your manhood and your womanhood. I bring Him out to you to-night like another Pilot. Look !Ho is standing there before you. Tho crown is on His brow, the rubies are His blood, tho pearls aro His tears. Look at Him Will you have Him ? There are His arms that will clasp you, and will take you up to heaven. Say, will you accept Him, or will you reject Him J He asks: "Will you have me for your Saviour ; will you, I say, will you '!" God looks at you. Say sinner

will you be His '! Now \g the time ; don't hesitate : don't, go away until you are saved. Only the other week at Sydney there was a young- man at one of our meetings. He nearly went out, but he came back and was saved. He said " I nearly missed it." That young man was found dead in his bed two days later with my Testament opeu on his bosom. If you do not believe me, you havo only to go to the Young Men's Christian Association in Sydney to obtain proof. Several weeks ago, at ono of our Sydney meetings, two sceptics came in, one was rigid, poor, and sinful. The other went down on his knees and cried, "Christ, will you save a poor sceptic ?" Jesus said, "Yes, my son, I can save thee. I can save all, no matter what." He was saved, and they went out, but before the end of the week that man was dead.

At the conclusion of her address, Mrs Hainpson invited all those present who wished to bo prayed for to hold up their hands. Sixteen hands were held up, and the inquirers after salvation were invited to come forward.

The " praise " meeting was then closed, and an "inquiry" meeting for the conver sion of souls held subsequently.
