Delivered at Cannon Street Hotel, by Mrs. Booth. With an appendix on the so-called Secret Book. An excerpt from the text: The special sphere for the Salvation Army is no doubt what are termed the dangerous classes, and that there is great need for some such agency recent events make but too manifest. The inability of the authorities to cope with the ruffianly element even in the metropolis, the proposed addition of 500 to the police force, the attempt to blow up one of the Government offices, and the escape of the offenders, together with the continual discovery of plots, and outbursts of ruffianism vented on others, besides the members of the Salvation Army, ought to awake everybody to the necessity for something being done.
