Defending The Salvation Army

1895

THE FARMER is glad to print the liberal views of Mr. H. A. Freeman in defense of the Salvation Army. The Salvationists have the same right under the law that sects have, though the Army itself is not sectarian, and [their ri]ghts must be respected. They make sacrifices which no denomination was ever known to make in the effort to save souls, and they reach beings who might otherwise perish. If they have come to Jamaica to labor in the way peculiarly their own, they must be protected.

A better man than John O'Donnell could not be sent to Albany to work for that additional $50,000 for the Normal School. It was largely due to his influence that the original law was passed.

When Henry A. Monfort runs up against Daniel Noble, the District Attorney's office is bound to be a wreck.
