Booth carried the torch of evangel-
ism from their New Connexion
church in England in 1861 and start-
ed the Salvation Army. Today that
torch is being carried by the second
Booth to succeed the founder, Gen.
Evangeline Booth, who in turn suc-
ceeded Bram-
well Booth in
1934.
So familiar at
Christmas time,
the Salvation
Army’s group
singing on street
corners and
“boiling kettles’
for which con-
tributions are so-
licited, had their
beginning in the
youthful reform-
er of 19 who was almost stoned to
death preaching in slums and de-
nouncing “rum.” Penniless and with
four children, the Booths worked
tirelessly in London amid taunts of
critics, yet old General Booth lived
to banter with jovial King Edward
and be consulted by heads of Euro-
pean governments.
He also lived to see the Salvation
Army become better established in
Evangeline Booth
to see it acquire banks, insurance
companies, factories, public houses,
farms, hospitals and cadet schools,
all the outgrowth of the “expedi-
tionary” force of seven lassies sent
here in 1880 under George Scott Rail-
son.
Next Year’s Yule Cards
Already Being Designed
Workers on Christmas cards carry
on steadily all through the year.
The artists who draw them have al-
ready produced their’ designs for
the 1940-41 season, and as soon as
the holidays are over the printer
will beg.n work on those cards. One
big firm in England has 500 men
and women employed in the produc-
tion of these cards, sometimes with
calendars added.

in the belief that the Christ came
sometimes to the door disguised as a
beggar at this season and it wag fear-
