Salvation Army Riot in Sacramento

By Editor

THE "Salvation Army" was the object of a riot in Sacramento, Cal., May 19. After marching through the streets in the evening to Sixth-street church, where they intended to hold an all-night prayer meeting, they were greeted with yells, groans, stones, and rotten eggs, until for fear the church would be torn down, they retired to their barracks. We do not indorse the methods of the "Salvation Army," but we do believe that they have a right to meet in their respective places, and to conduct their services unmolested.
