THE BOYS' BRIGADE DEMONSTRATION AT THE ALBERT HALL.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—I venture to ask if you would be so kind as to draw the attention of your readers who are interested in the training and disciplining of boys and youths who are earning their own livelihood to the annual demonstration of the London battalions of the Boys' Brigade to be held in the Royal Albert Hall on Thursday, the 10th inst., at 7.30 o'clock. Lieutenant-General Sir Ian Hamilton will he in the chair. Two thousand five hundred boys in their simple but effective uniform will be present, samples, as it were, of the fifty-five thousand who are enrolled in the United Kingdom, besides forty thousand in the Colonies. It is needless to say that" the Boys' Brigade" is the premier organisation of the Brigade movement. It was started in Glasgow twenty-three years ago on its present interdenominational lines, and year by year it gn.ows in strength.—Thanking you in anticipation, on behalf of the London Council, for kindly giving publicity to our meeting, and also thanking you for the generous support you always give the Boys' Brigade in your valuable paper, I am, Sir, &c., J. M. D. Moony
London Council, Boys' Brigade, 34 Paternoster Row, E.C.
(Major-General, Retired).
