The Salvation Army.

The strange spectacle of a band ol rioters making an attack on the Salvation Army was witnessed at Eastbourne, England. A number of its members were severely handled and the bannei taken from them. What use has such a crowd for a salvation banner?—Louisville Times. The Salvation Army had a pitched battle at Eastbourne, England, in which, apparently, they had to fight both the mob and the police. Their bravery showed that they possessed the courage of their convictions and the treatment they received indicated that there is need of some kind of an army in that locality.—lndianapolis News, Salvation Army reports shows that there are nearly 1,400 corps, 3,700 officers and 2,50 ft locg.l officers connected with the army in the British Isles. And still baccarat scandals, aristocratio divorces and general rottenness among Britain’s upper classes are rampant. The army should change its base and order a general assault on Satan’e strongholds in high places where he is most strongly intrenched.—Grand Bapids Democrat.
