SALVATION ARMY.
TRIBUTE BY DUKE OF YORK
(British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, Nov. 1. The Duke of York paid a warm tribute to the Salvation Army at a huge meeting in Albert Hall, London, today, when the Army said farewell to its retiring head, General Higgins. Cabinet Ministers, Ambassadors, and many other distinguished people, including representatives of other faiths and denominations, were present. The Duke said the Salvation Army made a gfcat claim upon the regard not only of members of the Royal Family, but of all sincere and thoughtful people, because it helped undoubtedly to make more tolerant religious opinions and class distinctions. “I believe,” he said, “there is today more mutual sympathy and understanding nationally and internationally, and the Salvation Army among other religious and philanthropic societies has had a full share in bringing that about. If an example were required as proof it is here this afternoon.”
