British minister and social reformer (1829–1912) best known as the founder and first “General” of the Salvation Army. Booth’s zealous efforts were strikingly immortalized in the 1914 song “General William Booth Enters Heaven” by avant-garde American composer Charles Ives. Outstanding AQS on a cream 6.75 x 9.25 page, boldly signed “William Booth” and dated September 5, 1910. In full: “Saved by the power of God, washed in the blood of the Lamb and called by Holy Ghost to the great task of saving the soul of the suffering sinning world around me…. Reader what is your destiny and are you fulfilling it?” A touch of mild toning to edges, otherwise fine condition. R&R COA.
