SUFFERING IN SILENCE.

“MOST PATHETIC FIGURE IN SALVATION ARMY.” • LONDON, Sunday. Writing to the “Sunday Referee,” Mrs Braimvell Booth deprecates the unjustified use of the word “vendetta” .in relation to the recent treatment of the Booth family, but states that she is not surprised that, a small section of Salvation Army officers should be anxious to justify their attitude towards the dying General by persecuting lii3 children, who, however, are determined to suffer in silence. Mrs Booth is deeply grieved that she has been unable to induce General Higgins to mitigate his treatment of Commissioner Lucy Booth-llellberg (who claims that she was promised the position of travelling Commissioner in Europe, but who has been sent to South America). “The breaking up of her home, the separation from her only child, and her departure to a strange land at the age of 61,” Mrs Booth adds, “make my husband's widowed sister the most pathetic figure in the Salvation Army to-day.”
