General Booth and the Salvation Army

M. Nicol A.

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I believe there exists a peculiarly wide need for such a review of the operations Of the Salvation Army as I have attempted to give in the following pages. My credentials for thus adding to the literature upon the movement are as follows: For nearly thirty years I was closely associated with its leaders, and more or less actively employed in advancing its religious and social endeavours. I began my Salvationist career in the capacity Of Treasurer of a small Corps, and finished it a Com missioner in its ranks. I may claim, therefore, the right to describe, review, and, in a friendly Spirit, criticise the teaching and work Of the Army. When I entered its ranks I was promised no guaran teed salary and no soft job at any of its Head quarters. Those entitled to my respect predicted that I should suffer in health and in reputation, and that I might prove a dismal failure as a Salvation Army Captain. I cheerfully accepted these risks, however, as also did my partner in life. The aims of the Army appealed to us; its achievements dazzled us. We sold up a little home and parted with lovable friends to embark upon this problematical career.
