THE SALVATION ARMY.
[To THE EdITOE.] Sib, — 1 must compliment yon on the very just report in relation to the Salvation Army meeting at their Baptism of Fire on Monday night, except when speaking of Major Pollard, You say it is easy to see he is not sustained so, much by the love of souls but by devotion to the Army. It is the work of the Army not the growth of Ohrictianity in the abstract he is bent upon. Your own statement in the first of the report goes to show that the work has been truly blessed in God in the reformation of many your reporters saw at the meeting. And if such is the result of the Armys teaching, it must of necessity advance Christianity. Is it to be assumed that all great and successful General's have only the welfare of the Army they command at heart instead of the cause they are fighting forP Does not the Army’s success throughout New Zealand prove that God’s spirit has blessed the Major’s efforts in a most marvellous way already, and goes to prove that the Major’s object is to use the Army as a means only in advancing Christ’s cause on earth.—l am, &c.
