GENERAL EVANGELINE’S FAREWELL - FIGHTER FROM THE WORD “GO.” ADDRESS IN CROWDED HALL. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. (Received This Day, 10.45 a.m.) LONDON. October 22. With a Salvation Army flag draped round her shoulders, General Evangeline Booth made her last public appearance in London at the Regent Hall, before her retirement at the end of the month. The hall was crowded with thousands of followers and wellwishers.
General Booth spoke for an hour and clenched her fists when she declared: "God made me a fighter. 1 am a fighter from the word go.” A hushed congregation heard her farewell words: "Love one another” and "God bless you.”
