SALVATION LEADER
MANIFESTO TO BE ISSUED A FOUR-YEAR PROGRAMME '■X LONDON, February 14. General Evangeline Booth, in a message to the press, said: “ Contact with leading public figures and the massconsciousness of the thousands of my audiences have greatly impressed me of the apparent imminence of a religious revival. People are recognising that sincere turning to God is the key to spiritual well-being and national, prosperity. Nevertheless, it is still overfashionable to live carelessly, which often means sinfully. I am, preparing a manicalling on the Army throughout the world simultaneously to redouble every effort in which it is engaged. This embraces a foui-year programme, setting every individual Salvationist a specific task, the aggregate of which will mean a wide extension of our mission of salvation and helpfulness. I am going to Australia as a messenger bearing thousands of commissions from high and low expressing the Homeland’s love.” A HEARTY SEND OFF LONDON, February 14. (Received Feb, 15, at 5.5 p.m.) Salvation Army officers almost mobbed Commander Booth at Victoria Station in their anxiety to give her a hearty sendoff to Australia.
