Test 2 Flashcards
What did Booth mean when he said: The Gospel must be for the “whole Man?”
• In the war against sin [among the poorer population], it became evident [to the Booths] early on that material as well as spiritual needs must be addressed.” William Booth once said, “No one gets a blessing if they have cold feet and nobody ever got saved whilst they had a toothache.” He insisted on wooden floors for Army halls, rather than concrete, because the concrete floors tended to hold the cold. Booth’s conviction that the gospel must be for the “whole man” is summed up in the phrase attributed to him, “Soup, soap, and salvation.” The care for the whole person was to result in material rehabilitation and spiritual salvation
Describe White slavery and women in Victorian England
• The work with prostitutes, however, exposed the serious issue of “white slavery,” the exploitation of women for sex against their will. Many of the young women rescued from prostitution told of being lured to the big city from the country with job offers as housemaids or nannies. When they arrived in the city, the address given would turn out to be a brothel. As the girls were penniless when they arrived it was almost impossible for them to escape the horrible situation in which they found themselves.

What was the general pattern when the army moved into a new country?
1- 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, that is soldiers, with officers being sent later. The Founder encouraged salvationists who wished to start an Army expression, but he wanted to see the work established before he would recognize it officially.
2- Secondly, 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. Besides establishing a worshipping community, the pioneers in these new openings sought to be of service to the people and new expressions of social services were introduced.
3- 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.
