It has long been understood that due provision has been made for the succession, to the- command of the Salvation Army when, : in the natural. course of events, General Booth no longer fills that position. ' Some further information on 'tho subject is now forthcoming. The "Salvation Army Year Boole" for 1910 says: "The succession to the position of the General is not in any shape or form hereditary, nor 16 it intended «v«n to bo so. Every successive General lrill be under the most solemn obligation to select that officer to succeed him whom he considers best adapted to.fill so important a position. By a further provision a high council of the Army is constituted, providing meane for removing from his position as General of the Salvation Army any General committing iv breach of trust, and also for the selection of a General if, through failure to appoint, or from any other cause, thero should at any time in fact be no General."
