Question 4

What is the general pattern when the Army moves into a new country?

Answer 4

Firstly, the openings were often begun by young people, some in their teens. Usually they were emigrants from the United Kingdom or sent from the U.K. by I.H.Q. Very often the work was started by the laity,

These new openings also shared the experience of persecution and misunderstanding in the early period. Despite the persecution and opposition, these openings were marked by rapid growth.

Also, within a short time a “War Cry”or similar tool of literary evangelism was established. And within a year or two a training program for officers would begin.

Question 5

The 1929 Crisis

Answer 5

But in the early twenties concerns over his absolute autocracy, his unwillingness to take advice from his leaders or hear even constructive criticism began to emerge. His brother-in-law, Frederick Booth-Tucker felt “set aside” when he was forced to retire. Evangeline Booth, also a high-strung Booth, nonetheless felt “wounded” by Bramwell’s arbitrary attitude.

A high council would be born…. Bramwell would be forced to retire.

Brengle was part of this and at first did not want to do it until her saw his condition.

Williams Booths thought on social service

Answer 7

At first he thought it was a concern of taking over too much and leaving evangelism behind
Then:
However, Booth’s attitude began to change as he saw the social work as part of the evangelical mission of the Army. Men, women and children were being brought into the Kingdom through the care and concern for the whole person–physical and spiritual. His active, practical mind began to search for something that would help alleviate the circumstances of the many converts to whom the Army ministered.

Question 8

Hallelujah Fiddler

Answer 8

John Lawley
Lawley was converted in Bradford, Yorkshire in a Christian Mission meeting led by James Dowdle ( a.k.a.“The Hallelujah Fiddler”) He became the Founder’s aide-de-camp until Booth’s Promotion to Glory in 1912. Lawley also led the prayer meetings after the Founder’s messages. Lawley was a singer and song leader. Some of his songs are in the Army song book. Old time Salvationists remember General Booth calling on Lawley to sing during the appeal. Towards the end of the Founder’s life, when he was nearly blind, he would say to Lawley, during the appeal, “Are the seekers coming?” and Lawley would describe the people as they came to the Penitent Form. Commissioner Lawley died in 1922.

The major complaints against William Booth

high handedness and nepotism.

The two major points dealt with 1) the General’s absolute power which was felt to be unacceptable in the modern age (which called for a consultative leadership style), and 2) a recommendation that his successor to be named by a High Council according to the Supplementary Deed Poll of 1904. Bramwell Booth utterly rejected these points, and felt, as did his family, that Eva and other officers were against him.

Question 19

Frank Smith

Answer 19

Booth’s plan was not without its critics. Journalists, socialists, politicians and others were very vocal. Booth was personally attacked. Within the ranks there were those who were skeptical including Colonel Frank Smith, who left the ranks as a result; and Commissioner G.S. Railton who feared our focus on evangelism would be less. Railton made his protest, but like a good soldier saluted and went on

Question 20

Eliza Haynes

Answer 20

Eliza Haynes is representative of the often unsung lassie officers. She was sent to assist another officer in opening the work in Booth’s hometown of Nottingham. Like many of the early converts she came from poverty and was not educated; but she had a heart aflame for the Lord. When there was difficulty in getting people to their meetings in Nottingham, she rode through town on a cart with a sign “Happy Eliza” pinned to her dress playing a tambourine. The method was a bit bizarre but it worked.
