THE SALVATION ARMY.
What Rev. L. NJ. Whiting Has to
Say About Them.


Say About Them.
FELLOW CITIZENS The Saliva.
ton Army fellows are here.
What shall we do about it?
We may act either in two ways.
First, We may raise our bristles,
snap at them, call them fools aud
cranks, shut our doors in their
faces and show i'll temper and ugly
behavior in general. Or, second>
ly, we may quietly Withhold our
judgment until we see and
hear them ourselves. Then, il
their methods and department do
not meet our conscientious approx
al, we may withdraw from them
and let them severely alone. But,
while We may see some things that
appear odd, or childish, or cranky,
yet if their motives are evidently
isncere and unselfsh, and their
purpose in coming among us seems
only to do us good-even in a wild
aud rather fanatic wayne may
simply not hinder them, aud re-
train from doing them harm.
"And now ] say unto you, res
frain from these men, and let them
alone: for il this council or this
work he of men, it will come to
naught: Int if it be of God, We
cannot overthrow it, lest haply We
be found even to fight against
God" (Acts."
