THE SPECIAL MEETINGS OF THE SALVATION ARMY IN EXETER HALL, LAST JUNE

SOME years ago I called upon a venerable Congregational minister whose name I bear, in the town of Deal. With tears, the 'aged disciple' told me that in his early ministry he opposed Methodism with all his might; but that of late years he had studied John Wesley's Works and Work, and that he was now ashamed of his opposition. There are not a few who may not like the 'outward and visible signs' of the Army, whom Catholic study will show that it possesses, most blessedly, 'inward spiritual grace.
