SCANDALOUS "RELIGIOUS"
;• t-TO ■Z'iZZ VaH S3 -ix'!- V: -A York correspondent of the Standard sa y S : —“ Some few nights ago there was held in the large Circus , rented by the Salvationists a ‘long all-night meeting,’ and part of the service consisted of (to use their own term) * Creeping for Jesus,’ and it is a positive fact that during this part the place was in complete darkness for two hours, the gas having been turned out purposely, as is customary oh these occasions. Now, sir, there were, present persons of all ages, sexes, and positions, and the idea with them of ‘ Creeping for Jesus ’ means crawling about the floor indiscriminately amongst each other. When we read in the papers two days ago of a case where a young girl named Barnes prosecuted one of the ‘ Captains , for indecently insulting her, and of the girl, on leaving the Court having been mobbed by the Salvationists, there appears to be only one conclusion to be drawn.” Another correspondent denies that the gas was pnt out.
