Any pleasant night while passing along
Tremont or Market streets about 7.30
o'clock, the stroller will find from 100 to
200 men congregated in a group listening
to choruses and solos with stringed instru-
ment accompaniment by a band of youth-
ful featured men. The stranger will size
the crowd and the entertainers up as a
patent medicine outfit and will mistake the
earnest exhortations for the rantings of a
street corner fakir, and while expecting to
catch the strains of some familftar minstrel
song, will hear as the echo of a ^olo, ren-
dered in a voice more like that of a girl
than a man, with the following chorus:
"Glory, glory, glory,
Glory, glory glory,
Glory, glory, glory to the Lamb I"
And this is all repeated in a harmony of
male voices that is attractive.
After another solo he will hear a chorus
In the same well trained voices running:
"We are building up the temple;
We are building up the temple of theLord."
This is repeated over and over.
But this is not a patent medicine crowd
and these aire not patent medicine songs.
Neither is it the Salvation army, because
there is nothing of the military style about
the cut of the garments of the men, and
the drum and the women with tambourines
are not present. It is a gathering for a re-
ligious object, because first one and then
another mounts a stand and exhorts in the
name of Christ.
Then the listener is treated to a quar-
tette running as follows:
"On the other side
Beyond the rolling tide,
Jesus Is waiting for me.
On the golden shore,
In the grand evermore,
Loved ones aire watching for me."
The crowd grows and pays respectful at-
tention to other exhorters, and between
solos and choruses and exhortations the
stroller is kept wondering what is next.
Finally a boy in appearance, possessing a
voice that he can almost throw across the
bay, faces the crowd and gives out some-
thing like this:
"We have only a goods box here for a
platform, but it is good enough for the
poor man in ihis homely garb to come and
kneel beside and acknowledge his sins.
Th.e man in broadcloth may come here and
make a manly acknowledgment to God
of his broken pledges, sinful thoughts and
deeds and crooked ways and get forgive-
ness. We are not starchy; there is noth-
ing stiff about us. We have consecrated
our lives and our whole time and power
and intellect and soul to the service of the
Lord and we come to bring a message of
love to the poor."
"Yes!" exclaims a foreign accented voice
from the sidewalk, "you are too lazy to do
a day's work."
But his profane peroration falls fiat. It
does not reach the ears of the man with a
•message of love, and, luckily for the inter*
ruptfcr, 'he escaped before a bluecoat caught
(h'l'ro.
Then a splendid voice renders a solo, with
guitar accompaniment, and all join ia the
chorus:
'*1 will meet you,
I will meet you,
I will meet you bye and bye;
I will meet you in that city bright and
fair."
• Another speaker mounts the platform
•nd announces that at 311 Tremont street
they have a comfortable hall, where the
crowd is Invited to Join in wors-hip. "If
you are a poor man. In rags and tatters,"
says the exhorter, "feeling that no church
In the city will welcome you, come and
take a frorot seat and make yourself a't
home. You will be welcome. If you wear
broadcloth, come along; you can take a
seat a little back if you want to, but come
along. If you have no coat, come in your
shirt sleeves, and if you want to pulif off
your coat when you get in the hall take it
off and throw it across the bade of a seart..
But we want you to come."
While the quartette sings hats are passed
around and those who are inclined to give
throw in their offerings.
All instruments and voices join in a piece
of music of quick movement and the crowd
follows the musicians and exhorters to the
hall indicated.
* * •
An hour later a News man ascended the
steps and looked up while the strains of1
"Almost Persuaded" came floating down, in
soft, low tones from the worshipers, A
Mexican sitting on a seat at the head of
the stairs was looking intently toward t'he
Altar and his lips appeared to move in har-
mony with the song.
It was a weird sort of scene. The low
white walls of a long hall that will hold
probably 300 people reflected the light of
(four large lamps suspended from the ceil-
Sng, bringing in bold relief the congrega-
lon which, true to the preachers' invita-
tfioh, was made up of all classes- and dif-
ferent races. The presence of Che boozy
man was felt by the heavily laden atmos-
phere over in his section, and the man in
his shirt sleeves elbowed the tolerably
well dressed man who dropped in to see
what was going on. The seats were the
only furniture in the hall. They we.re as
plain as they could possibly be, but they
served their purpose as well its a soft
cushioned pew. On the stage in the front
«nd of the hall were seven young men
Ifcicing the audience. The service.was mad*
up or exhortations, appeals, prayers and
Songs, and sometimes all of the instrur
mants and voices would be tuned at once.
the melody filling the hall and floating out
on the street, causing people to mount
the steps to see what it nieani.
As the service progressed tne| appeals
became more touching, latl°ns
were delivered with more drivi n gpower
and the prayers were offered in voices that
were loud. Finally one of or
more women present went iorward and
kneeled in front of the altar, iilie seven
young men and others gatne\ff,. around
her and several prayers weJe,**f,f,red for
the light of heaven to break in upon her
soul. This continued some time and then
she arose and announced thatner sins had
been pardoned. While singing a song the
young men clapped their hanus in joy over
another convert and a service very simi-
lar to the oldJtime Methodist camp meet-
ing was ended.
♦ • ♦
This is the way the work of the Victory
brigade mission is conducted. It is a new
force organized to assail the strongholds
of Satan In Galveston. It its birth
and was christened in Emporia, Ivan., less
than a month ago. It is a new star In
the constellation of religious bodies and it
promises to grow brighter as it approaches
its zenith. It is partly the outgrowth of
rebellion against rigid discipline, but it is
claimed this only elevated it to a broader
and more liberal field than tnat occupied
by the parent from which it sprang.
^■Jpe-aking of the birth and objects of this
n ew religious organizat ion, «fv. Jul ward J.
Cromwell, the leader, said to ine News
man: "We were iSalvation army officers.
The discipline of the army grew too se-
vere, we thought, and we resigned and left
fits ranks. I was an officer in the army
four years and night and day i 'held aloft
the banner 'and worked with them. Then
I was taken sick and It was sick a long
time. I asked for a fur.ou'gh and it was
declined. This discipline had long been irk-
some to me. 'No member of 'tne army 'has
the jurivilege t<o go to hear preaching by
another denomination without nr.«>t getting
■the consent of tihe'staff officer, and while
it is sometimes given, you often meet the
reproachful answer that yen anight with
greater profit spend your time w-orking
with the army. So I totod them the world
was large enough for a'li of us; l thought I
was called to a broader field, ana l would
go. These young men who are wit n mie l^ft
the army albout the time I dia. it seems
like "Gtod led us into this work.
* # *
"How was the -name selected?"
Answering this question, Mr. 'Cromwell
said! "I was sitting one day thinking about
what *ve would call our little band. _
thought of brigade, and then I thought if
we went out 'in the strength of God it
would 'be victory, and there was enough
for us to select a name. It was intensely
mission, and so we called it tro'm that hour
the Victory Brigade 'mis^on.vv e 'held our
•first meeting in Emporia. At lasted nine
days and resulted in over 200 conversion.-.
'Those converts went to tne different
churches; not a few of them were 'back-
slidden members. When we get a convert
we always ask the preference of the con-
vert in the matter of Joining a church and
recommend the convert to that church, bo
it Baptist, 'Methodist, Presbyterian, Cath-
olic, Christian, or any of t'he different de-
nominations. Ours is a n on-denominational
work. We are out foT the good or human-
ity and the salvation of souls. After hold-
ing the meeting at ©mporia. we decided t'o
come to Galveston, partly on account of
the 'mild climate and t'he heal thru in ess of
the place. S'o far our meetings have been
quite successful. We have had several con-
verts. We were all originally members of
the Friends' church in Emporia, and we
are out with the sanction of tnat church.
Under their discipline we are permitted to
select our fieild as- well as our work."
• » •
"What do we propose to do in Galveston?
We propose to keep up what you have seen
—the open air meetings and the services in
the hall. We have the indorsement of the
churches of the city in our mission work—
the Methodist, Baptist, Free Methodist,
Christian and Endeavorers—and we are
going to make mission work our leading
effort. We will hold meetings every night
and two on Sunday, and by-ana-by, when
the weather gets colder, we expect to have
a food and shelter station for the poor of
the city. We will provide a hall with cots
in which we will invite the poor people,
who have no money to pay ior beds, to
come and sleep. We expect also to have
food for them. Of course, we will not
have an elaborate spread. our plan is to
establish a wood yard in connection with
the food and shelter station, and we will
expect the able bodied men to cut a cer-
tain amount of wood for eac" meal and
night's lodging. The man will then not
feel like a beggar and by nis work the
charity part of our mission will be aided.
We also expect to have a reading room,
supplied with such literature as we can
get, principally religious Publications,
where the poor man may c0J"e and enjoy
an hour or so and divert his thoughts from
his misfortunes."

Mr. Cromwell says Galveston at present
has the only Victory. Brigade mission, (but
that he expects the work to branch out
from here. He says it will Ije extended to
sister cities and that there is ample ma-
terial at hand to establish brigades as rap-
idly as demands come in for this class of
work. ^ , ,
There are seven young men m this work
and they are all musicians. One of them,
referring to this fact in t'he street service,
thanked God that their instruments were
not tuned" to draw crowds into saloons and
around fakir stands and questionable re-
sorts. 'but he was happy,"tnat they gave
out the praises of the Redeemer.
The names, ages and parts or the band
are as follows: . ,

imports wanted.
Mr. Cu'llum Thinks Every Effort 9hould
Be Maxle In That Direction*
One of the matters which interested 'the
Topeka conference was Increased imports
through Galveston.
"The convention believed that quicker
and more lasting benefits will be realized
from imports landed 'here in quantities
that will oblige the railroads to bring
empty cars from Denver and Kansas City,
if necessary, to do 'the hauling," said Mr.
H. B. Cullum yesterday. "Bankers will
no doubt encourage the wholesale men in
Increasing their facilities and aid -them In
distributing the imports throughout the
northwest.
"Our wharf company has made this the
cheapest port in the United States. Its
enterprise is commendable. It has -ad-
vanced far ahead of the growth of the
city. The state quarantine regulations
have been modilied, 1 am informed, so
that there no disadvantage to importa-
tions.
"Secretary Tom Richardson has done
a wonderful work at Topeka for Galveston,
and w« are fortunate that he has been
retained by the executive committee. He
will continue to show his usefulness by
his work, to be carried on from here. A
large delegation of representative Galves-
ton business men should attend the irans-
Mlssisslppi congress at Omaha on Novem-
ber 25, as matters will be presented there
that will interest us, and we need the co-
operation of the states represented to de-
velop this port and utilize the twenty-two
feet of water obtained over the bar by
the government work from the success of
the jetty system, undertaken with the
largest single appropriation ever made by
the United States.
"If persistent efforts are made in hand-
ling imports at <ja<lveston we will have all
the railroads We want, as they are looking
after business, and their co-operation can
be depended upon.'1
