as a protest. "To accomplish such a work as has been done cannot be without result on the future shaping of society." The Morning "To-day The Salvation Army stands as one of the mightiest and most remarkable religious organisations that the world has ever seen." Jonkoping Post "One of our times, and perhaps all times, greatest and most remarkable personages, The Salvation Army's Founder and General, William Booth, died in London yesterday evening.
