His Life's Mission
It is recorded that in an interview with His Majesty King Edward VII., the Founder of the Salvation Army told the King of his life’s mission. Standing before His Majesty — six feet tall, with symmetrical figure, prophetic countenance, steel-grey eyes, long fingers, artistic hands and the attitude of a great General-he said: "Your Majesty, some men’s passion is Art, some men’s passion is Fame, some men’s passion is Gold-but my passion is Man.’ — ("Impressions of William Booth, Founder of the Salvation Army," by Lieut.Commissioner J. Evan Smith, 2YA, July 5.)
