THE SALVATION ARMY SCANDAL.
IBY TELEGRAPH. —PKESS ASSOCIATION.] Dunedjn, Thursday. Majoii Pollard, of the Salvation Army, has cabled frem Melbourne that he has arranged for the return to her relatives of the young woman who went off with Captain Beddingfield.
Friday. Capt. Beddingfield, shortly before his elopement, wrote the following letter regarding the girl he eloped with .-—"This station is very heavily in debt, over £l2O, and when she goes I am to do without any assistance. I shall miss her, but I suppose the Lord will give me strength to do his work But spare her as long as you can do without her. I was very ill on Sunday night after the meeting, I thought the dear Lord was going to take me home to heaven. The work is hard here, and the results very small, but we are believing for great things. A Freethinker gives his heart to God on Good Friday at our hall, and has testified several times,to what God has done for him. We get some warm times, and are generally honoured by an escort of larrikins, who are kind enough to see us home, singing things which you may be sure are not Salvation hymns. May God bless you always."
