“SALVATION” AND SAFETY.

The riots created by the Eastbourne division of the Salvation
Army on Sunday continue to be regularly reported by the Monday
morning papers. As thus :—

“ The Salvation Akiy.—The processions of the Salvation Army were
renewed yesterday at Eastbourne, and great uproar prevailed in the streets.
Police protection was needed at the services.”

Was Police protection withdrawn from the town meanwhile ? If
so, the Salvationist service is the thieves’ and burglars’ opportunity
at Eastbourne. Better, then, that, the Salvation Army should be
left to light its own battles, if Magistrates and Municipal Autho-
rities have no power, or no will, to restrain it from acting on the
offensive.

BETWEEN THE TWO.

At the close of a recent trial there was “ applause in Court.”
whereupon Mr. Justice Denman exclaimed, “ This is not a theatre! ’
Ergo, you may not applaud. During another case there was
“ laughter,” and, iu reply to Mr. Willis, the Counsel, who objected
to the laughing, Mr. Justice Butt said, “It is true it is a Court of
Law, but it is not a Church.” Ergo, you may laugh. Much virtue
in a “ Butt.” .

We present the two Judges with the following quatrain, which
may be sung to two in a bar :—-

Says Denman, severely, “ My Court is the Law’s.

’Tis not a Theayter ; so stop your applause.”

Says Butt, “ In my Court do not keep your mouth shut,

You ’re expected to laugh where there ’s such a good Butt.”
