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. Behind him lies a path such as few
have ever travelled. Before him lies the rest with his Lord, in whose
service he laboured almost all his long life."
Swedish Morning Standard
"The world has lost one of its noblest and most remarkable men. A great
benefactor of mankind has been called home. Our times' greatest
spiritual General has died at his honourable post. Peace to his brave
and worthy memory."
Norkoping News
"Few of the most noted men of the day did anything like as much work as
The General. He was the leading spirit in all this world-Organisation's

"William Booth's life was one in storm and battle--a great man's life,
the life of an unwearied fighter. Now the whole world bows before the
great man and the great life which will live through all time, and go on
bringing help to the suffering."
Smaland's Post
"Booth's blessed and energetic all-world-embracing efforts have, during
the last decades, had general recognition, and his native land has in
various ways testified its respect for what he has done in the service
of mercy."
Upsala News
"William Booth's sleepless energy and restless activity succeeded in
forcing his work's recognition, even where people did not approve his
methods, and many who before despised him will, now that he is gone,
admit that he has done more for his fellows than many whose names have
gone down to posterity."
