The venerable head of the Salvation Army all over the world wished that no one should look upon the healing of the breach. The son would not have it ?o. He deolared that he would see his ather, even if be had to waylay him, but there should be witnesses. The bridging of the chasm between the General and the Commander is purely a personal matter. That is announced offlotally. The American 'Volunteers of Commander and Mrs. Booth will oontlnue a separate and distinct organisation. There Is to be no affiliation whatever between the two movements. A peace merely has been deolared. mlThey will not war on one another. The meeting was at the Windsor Hotel. The Bev. Dr. Joslah Strong, Secretary of the Evangelical Alliance for the United States, was to be present as representing the interests of the Volunteers. The Bev. Dr. Charles Cuthbert Hall, President of Union Theological Seminary (Presbyterlan), was chosen as a witness in behalf of the head of the Salvationists. Other than these and the principals no one was to be present. The Bev. Mr. Strong then escorted the Oommander of the Volunteers to the room In which his father was waiting, Mrs. Booth-Tuoker leaving the General and joining her husband, who was hovering about near by. Balllngton Booth, displaying some emo- ... Hon, walked rapidly Into the parlor. Gen- r •ml Booth, who was standing, extended y his arms as it to embrace him, and as the l younger man moved forward the old man 1: placed one arm about his shoulders and o murmured, "My son." a The son's head rested upon the old man's shoulder tor a moment. Then they shook hands and were seated. The clergymen \ doted the doers, and an earnest Consultation followed. At its conclusion—it lasted A twenty-fire minutes—Balllngton Booth came out with the Bev.
