Kids today have no shortage of heroes. From Hollywood celebrities to music artists and sports figures, it would seem that there are plenty of heroes to go around. The heroes being offered by popular culture are teaching children that physical perfection, financial success, and fame are the most important goals in life. The morals and values presented by these heroes are often in direct opposition to the standards parents want to pass on to their children. So, while there is no shortage of heroes, there is a dreadful shortage of heroes worth emulating.

Jackson The history of The Salvation Army is incredibly rich. Those who spend time researching and writing it are keenly aware of this truth. Those who choose to read books, articles and thoughtful studies on The Salvation Army’s past come to understand the depth and importance of the subject. The history of this organization maintains a uniqueness that separates this movement from oth- er religious organizations, churches and nonprofits. We are similar in some respects, but our uniqueness is what tells the story that most readers of our past want to know and profit from. Just prior to the release of Maud, Emma, Evangeline: America’s Love Affair with the 3 Booth Women, I spent several hours interviewing Dr. R. Gordon Moyles for a promotional video about the book.

    GENERAL Of THE SALVATION ARMY William Booth, THE GENERAL OF THE SALVATION ARMY. BY COMMANDER BOOTH TUCKER. [COPYRIGHT.] PRICE, 10 CENTS. NEW YORK : THE SALVATION ARMY PRINTING AND PUBLISHING HOUSE, 122 WEST FOURTEENTH STREET. Entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1898 by Frederick de Lautour Booth-Tucker, in the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D.C. In erclx. n, of 0. Pub .IJb, INTRODUCTION. " Some men," it has been said, " are born great, others achieve greatness, while others have greatness thrust upon them." General Booth belongs to those who have, in the teeth of adverse circumstances, " achieved greatness." He needs no introduction ; he requires no apology. Others may have a greater reputation within the borders of their own nation. We know of none in modern days* whose name, while still living, has become to such a degree a household word in every nation as a universal benefactor of mankind. Indeed, no nation can justly claim him as its own. He is the universal property of all. Wherever the poor man toils to earn his daily bread, wherever the submerged masses of the world send forth their piteous wail of heart- ache on God's air, wherever the sins and miseries of humanity have reached the utmost limits of endurance, the giant stride of this modern Apostle of Hope and Faith and Hard Work looms on the horizon, leaving footprints of'help and happiness behind. ~ Barriers that have heretofore seemed impervious to the advance alike of Science. ofPhilosophy and Statesmanship —fortresses of Vice and Crime,

  • Catherine Booth and Female Ministry
    Methodist History, 31:3 (April 1993) SETTLED VIEWS: CATHERINE BOOTH AND FEMALE MINISTRY ROGER J. GREEN Introduction The Christian church is coming to terms with the subject of women in ministry, looking yet again at the scriptures, reexamining church histot:Y and doctrine, and discovering that there is nothing but custom and prej­ udice which have prevented women from preaching the gospel. It is cer­ tainly possible that the argument for female ministry would not be as ad­ vanced as it is were it not for the writings of Catherine Booth dn this sub­ ject, as well as the witness of her own perso'rtal1Jlinistry and the ministry of thousands of women who followed her example in The Christian Mis­ sion and The Salvation Army. 1 This paper will examine Catherine Booth's views of female ministry which were developed within the context of her own life, thought, and ministry of preaching. Three important aspects will be demonstrated. First, her views of female ministry were the result of a gradual evolution in her own thought and experience. Her initial concerns were with the traditional prejudices against women having any equality with men -social, intellec­ tual, or spiritual. In due course, her thinking became more focused upon the specific issue of women's equality with men in the pulpit. Second, the issue of female ministry was so critical to Catherine Booth because she was convinced that this was biblically justified and mandated. She avidly defended her views from the Bible, and envisioned the use of women in ministry as an indispensable aspect of the stewardship of the gifts, talents, and abilities which God has graciously granted to both men and women in the church.

  • 36 Word & Deed the Differences Between the Seven-Point Statement and the Eleven-Point State
    36 Word & Deed The differences between the seven-point statement and the eleven-point state­ ment particularly reflect The Salvation Army's Wesleyan doctrinal position. As a former Methodist New Connexion minister, William Booth was strongly Wesleyan. If anyone had asked William Booth who were his heroes of the faith, John Wesley is one he would have named. Speaking about his youth, Booth said: "I worshipped everything that bore the name of Methodist. To me there was one God, and John Wesley was his prophet. I had devoured the story of his life. No human composi­ tions seemed to me to be comparable to his writings ... " The differences between the seven-point statement and the eleven-point statement can be seen at a glance: a) The original second article became two articles, now articles two and three, with additional words added to each section. b) Three new articles were introduced, now numbered eight, nine and 10. i) The first of the new articles (number eight) underlines the doctrine of justification by faith and the doctrine of assurance. It was evidently felt that the original article six was insufficient, and more needed to be added. Article eight provided what was missing, focusing particularly on the Wesleyan emphasis on assurance. ii) Article nine is an affirmation of John Wesley's concern about the teaching of eternal security or "once saved always saved" as it is sometimes summa­ rized. William Booth believed in the possibility of Christians backsliding, that they were kept in a state of grace on the same terms on which they were first saved.

    which has been extravagantly claimed as the first story film produced anywhere in the world2 or even the world’s first feature film.3 However, by the accepted definition, Soldiers of the Cross was not a feature film but a two-and-a-half-hour multi-media event consisting of an ingenious mix of sixteen 90-second motion picture segments, over 200 magic lantern slides, music from Mozart’s masses by an orchestra and choir and rousing oratory by Herbert Booth.4 Soldiers of the Cross was an extraordinary achievement for its time, a startling, stiring and often brutal portrayal of the sufferings of the early Christian martyrs. The film segments of Soldiers of the Cross are amongst the earliest use of motion picture film for narrative drama and are certainly the first Australasian use of costumed actors performing on elaborate studio sets.5 The story of how The Salvation Army in Melbourne came to be the leading pioneer motion picture producer began with Major Frank Barritt’s visit to the Ballarat Prison-Gate Brigade Home in 1891. He was impressed with a magic lantern projector and its accessories being prepared by Captain Joseph Perry as a SALVATION AND THE sort of advertising agency for SILVER SCREEN Lindsay Cox The story of The Salvation Army’s Limelight Department reveals both an amazing use of up-to-the-minute technology and insight into what would attract people to hear the gospel.

Tyson I. Introduction Charles Wesley (1707-1788) is remembered as one of the patriarchs of the Wesleyan Tradition, and recognized by a broader circle of acquaintance as an important hymnologist. Despite the accolades granted him, Charles' accomplishments are typically not well known, and his theology receives consideration only as an appendage to that of brother John, or as an excursus on those two major points where Charles and John stoutly disagreed (Christian Perfection and Churchmanship). It is time to look beneath the younger brother's rather standard theological content (Anglican and Arminian), to the startling structures and methodology that held his soteriology intact; therein is his most creative contribution. Few of Charles' sermons have survived; one (perhaps two) appear among the John Wesley's published works.1 Twelve sermons attributed to Charles by the unsigned editor (probably his widow) of the 1816 Sermons by the Late Charles Wesley A.M. were actually composed by John Wesley, though Charles preached three of those early homilies with some regularity.2 Six of Charles' maturer sermons, preserved in the difficult shorthand of Dr.

  • The Harp and the Sword – Chapter Three 1 Chapter 3 the Booth
    Chapter 3 The Booth Family Gone Home (Herbert Booth) Evangeline Booth's tribute to her brother, Herbert, at his funeral. Privately published (no date) by his widow, Annie W. Booth. Herbert was promoted to Glory on September 25, 1926. There is a better world than this. We are born for a higher destiny than earth. We believe it. We teach it. We preach it. And yet we forget it. We become absorbed in earthly interests; absorbed in our occupations; in our trials and conflicts and difficulties. So absorbed in our ministry for the good of mankind as to forget its heavenly termination. And there is a knock at our doors; or a hand is laid upon the heart of one beloved; or the ringing call of a bugle from distant hills. It is the announcement of the chariot halting at our gate, and then we all freshly realize there is a Home eternal in the heavens because the light in the eyes of our loved ones as they bid us farewell tells us So. My dear brother, Herbert Booth, was endowed with exceptional gifts. Like our beloved father, the Founder of The Salvation Army, he had the genius for organization. He possessed those qualities so necessary to all leaders of men--the qualities of creating conditions and circumstances which served the purposes he had at heart. He was a natural pioneer. He never lacked the courage required for initiative work; never shrank from shouldering the responsibility resulting from his own judgment, decisions and deeds. He was fearless when face to face with an opponent, dauntless in persecution and adversity, brave in the storm did the winds come down from the high places or come up from the low.
