SALVATION ARMY
GENERAL HIGGINS TO RETIRE. By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, May 2. A message has been received by Salvation Army headquarters from General Higgins, in which he recalls that when asked by the High Council In 1929 to assume the leadership, he announced, in accepting the high honour, that he could not promise to continue in office beyond the period announced in his resignation. He says that after consultation with two very eminent London physicians as to the likelihood of his health permitting an extension, he was compelled to accept the unfavourable verdict they gave. He requests a prayer that the Army may be kept to the paths of service, on which it has been marching, and bids it go forward and let the world see that its dependence Is upon God and not man. He says that Mrs Higgins joins him in greetings, and concludes: “Our faith for the future is strong and unshaken.”
