GENERAL BOOTH AND MR. STEAD

SIR,—I honour greatly the achievements of General Booth, but. Com- missioner Lamb is not the first Salvationist to underestimate the value of what the Salvation Army got, and tried to get, from my old editor, W. T. Stead, and I am necessarily better informed about him than the Commissioner. I adhere to every word of my careful statement.—Yours sincerely, J. W. ROBERTSON SCOTT.
