Excerpt from The Life of General William Booth, Vol. 1 of 2: The Founder of the Salvation Army
I desire to add that in my difficult task I have received valuable help from Bramwell Booth, the son of William, and the present General of the Salvation Army. But for good or for evil the book is mine, and I alone stand at the judg ment bar. I have written as I wished to write, said what I wished to say, and the book is my honest idea of the truth.
