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. I was taken by Moyles’ pas- sion for the subject of his latest work, and his lifelong study of The Salvation Army.

  • 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.

  • William and Catherine Booth: Did You Know?
    Issue 26: William & Catherine Booth: Salvation Army Founders William and Catherine Booth: Did You Know? John D. Waldron, retired Salvation Army commissioner of Canada and Bermuda, is the author or editor of many books on The Salvation Army. William Booth, as a teenager, was a pawnbroker’s apprentice. Catherine Booth experienced long periods of illness as a child, during which she read voraciously, including theological and philosophical books far beyond her years. She read the entire Bible before she was 12. William toured the United States several times in his later years, drawing enormous crowds, and met President Theodore Roosevelt. In 1898 he gave the opening prayer at a session of the U. S. Senate. William was a vegetarian, eating “neither fish, flesh, nor fowl.” The Booths had eight children of their own, yet they adopted a ninth, George, about whose later life little is known. Seven of the Booths’ eight natural children became world-known preachers and leaders—two as general of The Salvation Army. The seven also all published songs that are still sung today. William led the fight against London’s loathsome prostitution of 13- to 16-year-old girls; he collected 393,000 signatures that resulted in legislation aimed at stopping the “white slavery.” The Salvation Army led in the formation of the USO, operating 3,000 service units for the armed forces. William pioneered the mass production of safety matches. The Salvation Army helps more than 2,500,000 families each year through 10,000 centers worldwide. Their resident alcoholic rehabilitation program is the largest in the U.S.
