Samuel Logan Brengle-Zeal
'True zeal is from above. Its source is in the mountains of the Lord’s holiness,
and its spirning fountains in the deep, cool valleys of humility.
It is born of the Holy Spirit, and issues from a knowledge of ‘the truth as it is in Jesus.’

General William Booth-The Salvation Army
What a strange name! What does it mean?
Just what it says – a number of people joined together after the fashion of an army
and therefore it is an army,
and an army for the purpose of carrying Salvation through the land.
It is neither more nor less than that.
If it be wise and lawful and desirable for men
to be banded together and organized
after the best method possible to liberate an enslaved nation,
establish it in liberty
and overcome its foes, then surely it must be wise and lawful
and desirable for the people of God to join themselves together
after the fashion most effective and forcible to liberate a captive world,
and to overcome the enemies of God and man.
