for the benefit and well being Of the
general himself.
Chiefship Task q Burden.
II have great love for my brother.
He was the eldest of my brothers. and
I was in the nursery when he began
his first big work. It was cruel to
impose upon him longer the respon-
sibility for a task that he could not
perform. If they would but have let
me see him, am sure I could have
explained everything"
One comfort to her, she said, was
that she had received mo word from
him personally that he did not desire
to see me-"
THE Salvation Army has passed
through the most serious crisis Of its
existence during these late weeks" she
said. "It has been a nerve-wracking
experience for those Of us charged with
the heaviest responsibilities associated
with our movement"
II firmly believe the Salvation Army
has emerged from this crisis stronger
and more firmly bound together as an
international force" Miss Booth added.

chosen as our head American Saliva

fused the post of general In the army,

ferred, and said it frankly, to remain
in the American work.
Miss Booth appeared tired from the
strain of the council meeting. She said
that her brothers position had made
every step Of the council doubly diff
