tailieunhanh - The Authoritative Life of General William Booth

I have no hesitation in commending this small volume as containing so far as its space permits, a good picture of my beloved Father and a record of much that made his life of interest and importance to the world. It does not, of course, profess to cover anything like the whole story of his many years of world-wide service. It could not do so. For any such complete history we must wait for that later production which may, I hope, be possible before very long when there has been time to go fully through the masses of diaries, letters and other papers he has. | The Authoritative Life of General William Booth 1 The Authoritative Life of General William Booth i The Project Gutenberg EBook of The Authoritative Life of General William Booth by George Scott Railton This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.

Railton First Commissioner to General Booth With a Preface by General Bramwell Booth Copyright 1912 By George H. Doran Company Preface I have no hesitation in commending this small volume as containing so far as its space permits a good picture of my beloved Father and a record of much that made his life of interest and importance to the world. It does not of course profess to cover anything like the whole story of his many years of world-wide service. It could not do so. For any such complete history we must wait for that later production which may I hope be possible before very long when there has been time to go fully through the masses of diaries letters and other papers he has left behind him. It must not be supposed that I can make myself responsible for every phrase Commissioner Railton has used. I know however that perhaps no one except myself had anything like his opportunities during the last forty years of knowing and studying my Father s life both in public and private and of understanding his thoughts and purposes.
