“Not
called!' did you say?
'Not
heard the call,' I think you should say.
Put
your ear down to the Bible, and hear Him bid you go and pull sinners out of the
fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and
listen to its pitiful wail for help. Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear
the damned entreat you to go to their father's house and bid their brothers and
sisters and servants and masters not to come there. Then look Christ in the
face — whose mercy you have professed to obey — and tell Him whether you will
join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish His
mercy to the world.”
“While
women weep as they do now, I’ll fight; while little children go hungry as they
do, I’ll fight; while men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do.
I’ll fight; while there is a drunkard left, while there is a poor lost girl on
the streets, while there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I’ll
fight I’ll fight to the very end.’’
―
William Booth
