====Volunteers of America====
In 1896, an American break-away group led by her brother [[Ballington Booth]] and his wife Maud Ballington Booth attempted to tempt American Salvationists away from The Salvation Army and into a rival group called [[Volunteers of America]], [[William Booth|General Booth]] sent Evangeline to New York. When she arrived the doors to Army headquarters on 14th Street had been locked against her. However, "she mounted the fire escape and climbed through a rear window. The dissidents hissed and booed until she literally wrapped herself in an available American flag and challenged: "Hiss that, if you dare." In the stunned silence she played her concertina and sang "Over Jordan without Fearing." Ballington's rebellion was quelled.
