  • The Harp and the Sword – Foreword 1 Foreword
    Foreword Commissioner John D. Waldron (R) has once again bent his indefatigable skills as an anthologist to harvest words from the Army's past. Evangeline Booth, daughter of the Founder and fourth General of The Salvation Army, can still speak direct to the heart. Renowned for her oratory no less than for her dramatic personality and charismatic leadership, Eva Booth in her day swayed the emotions to challenge her hearers and to win the hearts of thousands for the Lord. She was an outstanding woman of God. To have value for us today, words from the past must do more than inform our minds or even warm our hearts. Therefore any Army anthology should not merely lead us into a nostalgia for the past but spur us forward in the cause of Christ. Eva Booth herself reminds us: "We Salvationists care little for tradition. The past, good as it may have been in conquest and victory, is incomparable with the mighty present and future. It is not to unlock the doors of the barred and finished past that our hearts pine for, but rather to insert the key of unflagging, tireless zeal in the golden lock of opportunity that the future places before us." Therefore, in commending to your interest and profit General Eva Booth's words, I pray that your zeal and devotion to Christ may be kindled anew. Jesus, who is the same yesterday and forever, is our Lord; our inspiration today and into the future. General Eva Burrows The Harp and the Sword – Foreword 1 .

Signature of Student: Date: 12 August 2014 3 INTRODUCTION Alf Pollard’s contribution to the business history of Australia is as yet unwritten—both as a biography of the man himself, but also his singular, albeit often quiet, achievements. He helped to shape the business world in which he operated and, in parallel, made outstanding contributions to Australian society. Cultural deprivation theory tells us that people who are working class have themselves to blame for the failure of their children in education1 and Alf was certainly from a low socio-economic, indeed extremely poor, family. He fitted such a child to the letter, although he later turned out to be an outstanding counter-example despite having no ‘built-in’ advantage as he not been socialised in a dominant wealthy culture.

  • History of the Salvation Army Early Beginnings the Salvation Army Is
    History of the Salvation Army Early Beginnings The Salvation Army is an international organization, which began humbly in 1865 under the guidance of a radical Methodist minister named William Booth. More than 130 years later, The Salvation Army now stretches across the globe with churches and missions on every continent except Antarctica. With its international headquarters in London, England, The Salvation Army is dedicated to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ and ministering whenever and wherever there is need. The Salvation Army was founded by William Booth, an ordained Methodist minister. Aided by his wife Catherine, Booth formed an evangelical group dedicated to preaching among the “unchurched” people living in the midst of appalling poverty in London’s East End. Booth abandoned the conventional concept of church and a pulpit, instead taking is message to the people. His fervor led to disagreement with church leaders in London, who preferred traditional methods. As a result, he withdrew from the church and traveled throughout England, conducting evangelistic meetings. In 1865, William Booth was invited to hold a series of Evangelistic meetings in the East of London. He set up a tent in a Quaker graveyard, and his services became an instant success. This proved to be the end of his wanderings as an independent traveling evangelist. His renown as a religious leader spread throughout London, and he attracted followers who were dedicated to fighting for the souls of men and women. Thieves, prostitutes, gamblers and drunkards were among Booth’s first converts to Christianity. To congregations that were desperately poor, he preached hope and salvation.
