1t has over and over again been stated
that he is provided for by fund or an
nuity that was raised by private indi
viduals in his preaching days before the
army had any existence. This may be
a fact, but we never heard nor has it
ever been given to the world who these
generous people We're and why they were
so solicitous for Mr.. Booths mainten-
ance. The general moves round about
the world in a style that cannot he
equaled by many men of wealth. Today
he is in London. tomorrow in Paris. a
little later in Denmark or Sweden,
Holland or Rome. A trip to the Domin-
ion or the United States is but a sum-
mer holiday. and a secretary accom-
panies him wherever he goes. Further,
on the trips he is received with almost
regal honorS. and the best of all accom-
mediation is provided. Nay. even on the
Sabbath day we find him driven to his
meetings in barouche and pair by the
liveried servants of his wealthy patrons,
to whom a Sunday street car or a farm
er's buggy ride to a sick neighbor would
be mortal sin. Is this all provided for
out of the fund provided by the phian
thropic admirers of a needy preacher?
Again, do we find an episcopal bishop.

Fortunate indeed, is il for the general

INDIVIDUALISM AND PATRONAGE
Chapters VI and VII are made up ot
extracts from two Canadian publica-
lions. and treat of individualism, pat
rOnage and finances. The author of Y
I Rays Turned on the Salvation Army
ends his remarks on individualsni
with the words:
And indeed any one who has had
years experience as SalvationiSt
perfectly we'll knows that over every one
of these people General Booth exercises
rule and expects submission as real
and as eXacting as that of any emperor
or pope, and that in order to be loyal
soldier of the army, every one has to
yield to him an unquestioning and un-
WaVering fealty and obedience"
Continuing the author says: Let us
look little at the patronage appertain
ing to this position over each of these
countries there is a commissioner or
chief officer known by some other titla.
! This person is the creature and trusted
servant of the general. From him he re-
ceives his appointment, and by him may
be removed at moments notice. He
possibly has control over thousands OF

and Webster streets, and yet, after 1t
was built headquarters made the corps
pay them S25 per month as rent.
I'm Pomona the citizens of that town
followed in the footsteps of the Oakland
public and gave money to build bar
rack in that town: but before it was
completed they got wind of how the Oak
land soldiers had to pay headquarters
rent for THAR own hall. so they stopped
contributing, and the consequence was
the building was sold for a hay ami
grain store. We might say here. that
the frown of God is upon the Oakland
barracks, and that it is soon to be sold
for old lumber.
But, you say, the army practices self
denial and endures hardships. Well, to
a certain extent that is truth. The rank
and file of the Salvation army, the local
officers. and officers holding a minor po-
sition in the field force, are indeed Il
self sacrificing lot of people, but if you
think the Booths are among this lot
you are nightly mistaken Let us give
