It was Salvation Army flag day yesterday, and when i contributed some money, i was given a magazine published by the Salvation Army aptly named "War Cry". It was their July 2009 issue highlighting their Founder's Day.
On the cover was William Booth's portrait, complete with long flowing white beard that almost reached his chest. He was reading his bible.
But what especially caught my eye was this quote written by William Booth in the autograph book of King Edward VII.
Some men's ambition is art.
Some men's ambition is fame.
Some men's ambition is gold.
My ambition is the souls of men!
I gave but a token sum, and was blessed by William Booth's desire, birthed of a divine source.
