Note 16 — Chapter III
Reading edition
It was a religious paper in Neuchâtel which published that the Salvation Army work in Switzerland had cost 60,000 francs, making this the basis for a long article accusing the Army of draining the resources of other missions. This article furnished the Conseil d’Etat of Neuchâtel with one of its pretexts for closing the hall, viz., that the Salvationists were amassing a fortune. What was the truth? The Swiss work had not cost even 10,000 francs.
