This is a quote made by 

The Founder of The Salvation Army 

that has touched us very deeply.  

In fact, we had this quote placed on the 

Farewell Service bulletin at our last service in Elmira.

"While women weep, as they do now, I'll fight;

While little children go hungry, I'll fight;

While men go to prison, in and out, 

in and out, as they do now, I'll fight;

While there is a drunkard left, 

while there is a poor lost girl upon the streets,

Where there remains one dark soul 

without the light of God-- 

I'll fight, I'll fight to the very end!"

General William Booth

those of you who know PB well won't be surprised to learn that, 

when he first read this quote while standing in the 

bookstore at Territorial HQ tears flowed freely 

as God used this statement to confirm His calling!

here are some links to various Salvation Army sites that may help 

some of you get to know the Army a little better.
