War Cry |
It was back in 1865 that William Booth, a methodist
preacher, funded the Christian Mission in London’s East End to help
feed and help the poor. A few years later it was reorganised along
military lines with the preachers known as officers and Booth as the
General - it then became known as the Salvation Army. Booth sought to
bring an informal atmosphere into his services with joyous singing,
instrumental music and the clapping of hands. He was deeply influenced
by his wife who believed that women were equal to men and she promoted
the idea of women preachers. She was also deeply concerned with the
low wages paid to workers and soon the Salvation Army opened its own
match factory paying twice the usual wage. The first issue of the War
Cry was published back in 1879 which makes 2004
the 125th anniversay. So to celebrate we are releasing a special Model
A to commemorate the event. |
