Protection for the Salvationists

By Editor

At Mount Vernon, a northern suburb of New York, the Salvation Army has been meeting with much persecution recently. Their ropes have been cut, their tents set on fire and pulled down over the heads of the assembly, and other disgraceful scenes have been enacted. We do not believe in Salvation Army methods, but they certainly have a right to conduct their worship unmolested by mobs. If they are too noisy, their parades may be prohibited by law; but first the many saloons ought to be closed, and the strolling bands and circuses prevented from parading the streets. The Salvationists are entitled to protection.
