LEADER FAREWELLED
Salvation Army 'Gathering London, February 11. Three thousand Salvationists bade farewell to General Evangeline Booth at the Central Hall, Westminster, on the eve of her departure for Australia, crying “We want you here.” Evangeline replied: “I am sorry to leave England, but I hold an international office.”
She added that during three months in Britain she had addressed 50,000 people in 11 centres. When she was at Manchester she met a woman of 89, reputedly the oldest Salvationist in the world, who, said the General, “nursed me when I was nine months old and told me I was a little kicking darling.” (Laughter.)
