This much for the legal questions which have been raised by various
persons since the first edition of the pamphlet was published。
DR。 GREENWOOD'S ;GENERAL BOOTH AND HIS CRITICS;
So far as I am concerned�察�there is little or nothing in this brochure
beyond a reproduction of the vituperative stuff which has been going
the round of those newspapers which favour ;General; Booth for some
weeks。 Those who do not want to see the real worth of it all will not
read ��317�А�the preceding pages�察�and those who do will need no help
from me。
I fear�察�however�察�that in justice to other people I must put one of Dr。
Greenwood's paragraphs in the pillory。 He says that I have ;built up��
on the flimsy foundation of stories told by three or four deserters
from the Army; ��p。 114���察�a sweeping indictment against General Booth。
This is the sort of thing to which I am well accustomed at the hands
of anonymous newspaper writers。 But in view of the following easily
verifiable statements�察�I do not think that an educated and�察�I have no
doubt�察�highly respectable gentleman like Dr。 Greenwood can�察�in cold
blood�察�contemplate that assertion with satisfaction。
The persons here alluded to as ;three or four deserters from the army;
are��
��1�� Mr。 Redstone�察�for whose character Dr。 Cunningham Geikie is
guarantee�察�and whom it has been left to Dr。 Greenwood to attempt to
besmirch。
��2�� Mr。 Sumner�察�who is a gentleman quite as worthy of respect as
Dr。 Greenwood�察�and whose published evidence not one of the champions
of the Salvation Army has yet ventured to impugn。
��3�� Mr。 Hodges�察�similarly libelled by that unhappy meddler Mr。
Trotter�察�who was compelled to the prompt confession of his error ��see
p。 277��。
��4�� Notwithstanding this evidence of Mr。 Trotter's claims to
attention�察�Dr。 Greenwood quotes a ��318�А�statement of his as evidence
that a statement quoted by me from Mr。 Sumner's work is a ;forgery。;
But Dr。 Greenwood unfortunately forgets to mention that on the 27th of
December 1890 ��Letter No。 VII。 above�� Mr。 Trotter was publicly
required to produce proof of his assertion�察�and that he has not
thought fit to produce that proof。
If I were disposed to use to Dr。 Greenwood language of the sort he so
freely employs to me�察�I think that he could not complain of a handsome
scolding。 For what is the real state of the case�拭�Simply thisthat
having come to the conclusion�察�from the perusal of ;In Darkest
England�察─�that ;General; Booth's colossal scheme ��as apart from the
local action of Salvationists�� was bad in principle and must produce
certain evil consequences�察�and having warned the public to that
effect�察�I quite unexpectedly found my hands full of evidence that the
exact evils predicted had�察�in fact�察�already shown themselves on a
great scale�察�and�察�carefully warning the public to criticize this
evidence�察�I produced a small part of it。 When Dr。 Greenwood talks
about my want of ;regard to the opinion of the nine thousand odd who
still remain among the faithful; ��p。 114���察�he commits an imprudence。
He would obviously be surprised to learn the extent of the support��
encouragement�察�and information which I have received from active and
sincere members of the Salvation Army ��319�А�but of which I can make
no use�察�because of the terroristic discipline and systematic espionage
which my correspondents tell me is enforced by its chief。 Some of
these days�察�when nobody can be damaged by their use�察�a curious light
may be thrown upon the inner workings of the organization which we are
bidden to regard as a happy family�察�by these documents。

THE SALVATION ARMY
ARTICLES OF WAR��
To be signed by all who wish to be entered on the roll as soldiers。
Having received with all my heart the Salvation offered to me by the
tender mercy of Jehovah�察�I do here and now publicly acknowledge God to
be my Father and King�察�Jesus Christ to be my Saviour�察�and the Holy
Spirit to be my Guide�察�Comforter�察�and Strength�察�and that I will�察�by
His help�察�love�察�serve�察�worship�察�and obey this glorious God through all
time and through all eternity。
Believing solemnly that The Salvation Army has been raised up by God��
and is sustained and directed by Him�察�I do here declare my full
determination�察�by God's help�察�to be a true soldier of the Army till I
die。
I am thoroughly convinced of the truth of the Army's teaching。
I believe that repentance towards God�察�faith in our Lord Jesus
Christ�察�and conversion by the Holy Spirit�察�are necessary to Salvation��
and that all men may be saved。
I believe that we are saved by grace�察�through faith in our Lord
Jesus Christ�察�and he that believeth hath the witness of it in himself。
I have got it。 Thank God��
I believe that the Scriptures were given by inspiration of God�察�and
that they teach that not only does continuance in the favour of God
depend upon continued faith in�察�and obedience to�察�Christ�察。�322�А�but
that it is possible for those who have been truly converted to fall
away and be eternally lost。
I believe that it is the privilege of all God's people to be
;wholly sanctified�察─�and that ;their whole spirit and soul and body;
may ;be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ。;
That is to say�察�I believe that after conversion there remain in the
heart of the believer inclinations to evil�察�or roots of bitterness��
which�察�unless overpowered by Divine grace�察�produce actual sin�察�but
these evil tendencies can be entirely taken away by the Spirit of God��
and the whole heart thus cleansed from anything contrary to the will
of God�察�or entirely sanctified�察�will then produce the fruit of the
Spirit only。 And I believe that persons thus entirely sanctified may��
by the power of God�察�be kept unblamable and unreprovable before Him。
I believe in the immortality of the soul�察�in the resurrection of
the body�察�in the general judgment at the end of the world�察�in the
eternal happiness of the righteous�察�and in the everlasting punishment
of the wicked。
THEREFORE�察�I do here�察�and now�察�and for ever�察�renounce the world with
all its sinful pleasures�察�companionship treasures�察�and objects�察�and
declare my full determination boldly to show myself a Soldier of Jesus
Christ in all places and companies�察�no matter what I may have to
suffer�察�do�察�or lose�察�by so doing。
I do here and now declare that I will abstain from the use of all
intoxicating liquors�察�and also from the habitual use of opium��
laudanum�察�morphia�察�and all other baneful drugs�察�except when in illness
such drugs shall be ordered for me by a doctor。
I do here and now declare that I will abstain from ��323�А�the use of
all low or profane language�察�from the taking of the name of God in
vain�察�and from all impurity�察�or from taking part in any unclean
conversation or the reading of any obscene book or paper at any time��
in any company�察�or in any place。
I do here declare that I will not allow myself in any falsehood��
deceit�察�misrepresentation�察�or dishonesty�察�neither will I practise any
fraudulent conduct�察�either in my business�察�my home�察�or in any other
relation in which I may stand to my fellow men�察�but that I will deal
truthfully�察�fairly�察�honourably�察�and kindly with all those who may
employ me or whom I may myself employ。
I do here declare that I will never treat any woman�察�child�察�or
other person�察�whose life�察�comfort�察�or happiness may be placed within
my power�察�in an oppressive�察�cruel�察�or cowardly manner�察�but that I will
protect such from evil and danger so far as I can�察�and promote�察�to the
utmost of my ability�察�their present welfare and eternal salvation。
I do here declare that I will spend all the time�察�strength�察�money��
and influence I can in supporting and carrying on this War�察�and that I
will endeavour to lead my family�察�friends�察�neighbours�察�and all others
whom I can influence�察�to do the same�察�believing that the sure and only
way to remedy all the evils in the world is by bringing men to submit
themselves to the government of the Lord Jesus Christ。
I do here declare that I will always obey the lawful orders of my
Officers�察�and that I will carry out to the utmost of my power all the
Orders and Regulations of The Army�察�and further�察�that I will be an
example of faithfulness to its principles�察�advance to the utmost of my
ability its operations�察�and never allow�察�where I can prevent it�察�any
injury to its interests or hindrance to its success。
��324�А�And I do here and now call upon all present to witness that I
enter into this undertaking and sign these Articles of War of my own
free will�察�feeling that the love of Christ who died to save me
requires from me this devotion of my life to His service for the
Salvation of the whole world�察�and therefore wish now to be enrolled as
a Soldier of the Salvation Army。
