HAS CONTRAVENED THE ARMY'S PRINCIPLES

EVANGELINE BOOTH ON THE GENERAL. HE A RT-B RE A KI N G £;P ECIjAC L Ej. A LETTER TO AMERICA. LONDON, Feb. 10. Evangaline Booth, in a letter to American Salvationists, says: "How heart-broking is the spectacle; presented by a comparison of the unworthy actions of our General and his long hitherto honoured career. I grieve for you even more than, for myself. He has contravened the Army's sacred, principles embodied in the regulations the founder gave us, and which the General himself has taught and enforced during the past half century. He has violated the le.tter and. spirit of the New Testament by haling his brethren into the law courts. Would to God that I could have protected you aria your fellow-Salvationists throughout the world from the humiliation in which this dragging Salvationists into courts has. involved us all. The General has done this despite the entreaties, tears and prayers of ~ his wisest aiu] most responsible officers. 1 ' —Australian P.A.—United Service.
