AN UNFORTUNATE DIssENsIoN.

Whatever may be the immediate de-
cision Of Mr.. Darlington Booth and
his wife with reference to their future
relation to the Salvation Army in this
country, it is extremely probable that
the unfortunate dissension with which
they are so closely connected is the
beginning of a rupture in the organ
ization. Whether Mr. Booth finally
yields or not to the request of a host
of friends in this country to organize
and assume command of an American
army, the thin end Of the wedge has
been introduced, in the general spread
and discussion of the idea that the
English and the American armies can
not continue to work together in har-
matters little whether there is a real
difference between the two or not. Ma
tional jealousy has been aroused, and
there are few feelings more powerful
or persistent. The system Of the Sal
walton Army, which is based upon
military discipline, leaves no choice be-
bitrary command and outright mu-
tiny. Mr.. Ballington Booth has laid
down his command at the orders of
his superior, but he cannot prevent
the scattering of discomfort among the
ranks which Of necessity this act has
awakened
We do not care to discuss the merits
of the question. which are little known
and Of comparatively little interest to
those outside of the great organization
that has done so much for moral re-
forms and the spread Of the religious
idea. The public interest lies in the
fact that anything which interferes
with the future usefulness and &C
tivity of this band of workers is a.
social misfortune. The Salvation Army
has been both maligned and misiudged.
Those who are out of sympathy with
the methods which are adopted for
prosecuting its work were quite apt
to ridicule and censure it, forgetting
the needs Of the special field to which
it addressed itself and the fact that
of city like London or New York
and purify, elevate and regenerate it's
criminal population with bottle of
rose water and a lecture on ethical
culture. In such places as these, either
neglected Of other men or obdurate to
their efforts, the Salvation Army has
a mighty reform.
We regret to see anything that would
either diminish its field of usefulness
or tend to crystalline it into a formal
organization similar to the several
great religious denominations, and
therefore limiting its activity, as theirs
has been limited. The world has need,
and will have need for good many
centuries to come, probably, of just
such work as this: a fine outburst of
missionary zeal. akin to that out of
grown. It may be that the possible
severance of the American from the
English branch would tend to
strengthen rather than to weaken the
work; but the feelings that have al
ready been stirred on both sides, and
which are likely to increase rather
