BOOTHS FORERUNNER.
An Obscure Negro the Originator Of
salvation Army Idea.


"There is nothing new under the
sun"-not even the Salvation Army.
In point of fact, the Salvation Army
idea, movement or whatever il is de-
sirous OF calling il, dates back Ill
years, and owes its origin to a negro.
The scene of its birth was in the old
John Street Methodist church, in Sep
TENDER, 1885,
Now that there is SO much talk about
their introducing the Salvation Army
in New York, il is interesting to learn
that the movement was outlined in "a
campaign of God against the devil" al
most 100 years prior to the coming here
OF Gen. Booth and lady. This move
ment was complete in aggressive
Scriptural texts, the singing of re-
ligious compositions to secular music,
the uniform and other characteristic
attributes of the present day war-cry
warriors.
Those who are inclined TO doubt
these statements may look up the New
York Gazetteer, and under date of Sep
TENDER II, 1855, they will find the fol-
lowing notice.:
"Lately come to this city very singu-
lar black young man, who, it is said, is
quite ignorant of letters, yet he has
preached in the Methodist church sew
eral times, to the acceptance of several
well-disposed, judicious people. lie
delivers his discourses with great zeal
and pathos, and his language and con-
nection are by no means contemplate.
1t is the wish of several of our CORE
spondents that the same black man
may be so far successful as to rouse
the dormant zeal of numbers of our
slothful white people, who seem little
affected about the concerns of another
world"
The black man referred to above (his
name is not recorded) gave what may
be termed religious entertainment
outside of the regular services at the
bid John Street church. He introduced
the singing of religious words to the
popular airs of the day, thereby secur-
ing the attention of his auditors by in
viting them TO follow him in praising
God through the mediums most fa-
miliar to their ears. He also intro
duced a sort of religious dancing, and
the uplifting of banner inscribed with
warlike scriptural texts.
He was dressed in uniform of red,
white and black-the black symbolic
ing sin, the white purity and the red
being emblcmatic of the blood of atone
ment.
This is precisely what the Salvation
Army is doing to-day. Like the negro
of over 100 years ago, it has its uniform
and banners, its religious songs sung
to secular airs, and its warlike texts
selected from Scripture. The Booths
merely reintroduced the methods of the
black man, for he preached the idea of
the army in all his discourses, trying
to start the campaign of God against
the devil" And so it is, with all due
respect to Gen. Booth and Lady Booth,
that we find their movement but a
counterpart of what originated in the
long, long ago with an obscure negro
whose name even has passed into the
oblivion of the past century.-Brook-
lyn Citizen

When the umbrella caught in her bonnet,
