Mrs Root!; replied enclosing the divtir's letter of Fohruarv 22nd. adding “Dr M'b.c is most emphatic that it is absolutely oeccssarv to prevent any disquieting business cr interview. You must surely realise how painful an interview would bo for Brannvell. He is in deep sorrow and greatly anxious concerning the welfare of our beloved Salvation Army. For the time being, at any rate, you haA'e attained your end. and will you not now leave him in peace.”

Evangeline replied inquiring whether the General knows of her request and whether Dr Milne had seen her letter, adding: “Tt is only fair to Dr Milne he should know, because I am positively mystified as to bow be could refer to my desire to put a kiss on my brother’s face as a business interview. 1 have not yet been told Bramwell refused to see mo, indeed I heard several times to the contrary. J leave the matter in the hands of the Great Shepherd, who unerringly protects His flock, and is also the Judge of all the earth.”
