Turned 86 the next of this newspaper.

Today it is a woman who was often pelted
with tomatoes because of her faith.
She is Miss Jean Stewart, of Marion street,
Unley-No. 10. One of South Australia's
oldest Salvation Army officers, Commandant Stewart will be 86 tomorrow.
Two birthday presents have arrived already
a spring of already - a sprig of heather from Scotland and a Royal Stewart tartan scarf. Donald Leslie her grandfather planted the first vines at McLaren Flat, possibly the first in SA
lia. When a law was passed that all white ihildren born in South Australia must be registered, Donald Leslie got the first two names in the book with his son Simon and daugh
ter Robina (Miss Stewart's mother). "My parents looked down on me when I joined the Salvation
Army at 19 because it was a pretty ragtag affair in those days,'" says Miss Stewart.
Bought bonnet "There were no proper uniforms then and father would not let me wear the bonnet until I was 21.
"He gave me £1 as a birth day present and I spent it on a bonnet. Two years later I was
an officer, and I attended Gen. William Booth's first meeting in Australia. "It's been a wonderful life and I wouldn't have missed a
minute of it. "Often the bandmaster would
tell us girls that we went to Ovingham street meetings* at our own risk. When the toma
toes flew we would try to shelter behind bandsmen, but we would still come home with our
uniforms soaked. "I feel like Bunyan's pilgrim
that I'm in sight of the beautiful city. I have. no fears. I know ,I'll meet my old friends again. Within a week I had a note fromn her saying that she had lost her anxiety and had found peace." Miss Stewart's eyesight is failing, but she gets tremendous enjoyment from listening to the radio sermons from 5AN each morning. She herself has proclaimed the gospel on the West Australian goldfields, back o'Bourke in New South Wales, and her voice rings with conviction when she says: "Christianity will never die out."
