If I thought I could win one more soul to the Lord by walking on my head and playing the tambourine with my toes, I'd learn how!

Image
I will tell you the secret. God has had all there was of me.

If there is anything of power in The Salvation Army today, it is because God has had all the adoration of my heart, all the power of my will, and all the influence of my life.

Image
Before we go to our knees to receive the Baptism of Fire, let me beg of you to see to it that your souls are in harmony with the will and purpose of the Holy Spirit whom you seek.

Some of my best men are women!

There is a day coming when there will be a religion without repentance, a salvation without the Holy Ghost, a Heaven without Hell.
William Booth
Image
Can we go too fast in saving souls? If anyone still wants a reply, let him ask the lost souls in Hell.

Good cookery is not an extravagance but an economy, and many a tasty dish is made by our Continental friends out of materials which would be discarded indignantly by the poorest tramp in Whitechapel.

The profession of a prostitute is the only career in which the maximum income is paid to the newest apprentice.
