ANNOUNCEMENT.

-OF THE—IMk' ' AmH f 1 Has commenced a special soul saving campaign in this city. The band and brigade consist of twenty young men with Cant. Kemp in command and Capt. Geo. Davis assisting. The Marion Leader speaks thus of their work: “The Salvation Army has come and is gone. 'though peculiar in their methods, sometimes perhaps jarring the sensibilities of the ex* tremelv fastidious, they have done a vast amount of good is Marion. Gapt. Kemp has shown wisdom and tact, and every soldier under his command has won the hearty love and regard of the entire community. At their closing service fifteen souls were converted, and hun dreds of others were.profoundly stirred. The First Methodist Church was in hearty sympathy, and Dr. Driver and his wife were constant in attendance and co-operation. The best wishes of all Marion will follow the Salvationists wherever they may go.” The Sentinel bespeaks n hearty reception to this baud of ponsecrated workers from our people, and although some may not agree with the wisdom of their methods, yet all will acknowledge the sincerity of their object. The large tent is erected on the lot adjoining the Makeever house, and is in every way comfortable. Collections will be taken at the door, but no one will be barred out, as Capt. Kemp vill supply free admission tickets to all who feel they can not afford tho nickel. The money obtained is used to cover tne heavy expense of running the campaign, and to assist the work in Indiana and surrounding districts. Our people will do well to attend the services. On next Bunday morning, at 10 30 o’clock, Capt. Kemp will conduct services in the Presbyterian church, and at the same hour, Capt. Davis wi 1 occupy the pulpit of th< First Bapttst. it night services wii be held in the tent.
