writer had the pleasure of enlightening
the qtIestiOner and when he had finished
the stranger in our midst remarked: Il

The enemy i'm their haste to invent
words of obloquy and with superficial,
but none the less intense Ignorance of the
true signification of the words they
coined, hatched the word "Connellism''
with the wish and hope that it would at
tach disgrace to every one they thought

TO OUTSIDERS, the removal Of Bal
5llngton Booth and his wife from the
head Of the Salvation Army in the
United States is q piece OF great in
Justice. It is stated by those Who
seem to know that the secret Of his
removal lies wholly in the fact that he
has succeeded in almost completely
Americanizing the Salvation Army
in this country, His methods
aroused the antagonism of a little
English coterie headed by Col. Eadie,
the chief secretary, who came over
from England one year ago. Gen.
Booth, father of Ballington, and COM
mander-in chief of the Salvation
Army, did not fancy the idea of the
army in America breaking away from
the English precedents, and was
finally prevailed upon to order the
withdrawal of Ballington Booth. The
upbuilding of the Salvation Army in
this country has been largely due to
the wise management of Mr.. and Mrs.
Booth.
