Their Patience About Exhausted

New York, 1895

The Salvation Army is having a hard time converting the rough element of Roslyn to better ways. Each night their meetings are interrupted by drunken men who make unchristian remarks. The salvationists are patient and have labored zealously to convince these people that they are wrong. Capt. Peeke, who is in charge of the detachment, now threatens to have some of the disturbers arrested.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, Feb. 22, 1895, p. 12.
