Excerpt from Beneath Two Flags: A Study in Mercy and Help Methods

I remember as well as if it were yesterday my first sight of the Salvation Army. It was in my childhood's home, a pleasant, shady, country-like place, shut in by great high walls and gates from the noise, dust, and bustle of East London, and on the gravel walk one bright Sunday afternoon knelt a group of poorly-clad people, while in their midst stood a man with hands uplifted in prayer. The crowd was augmented every moment from the crowded street without; poor women, with sickly babies, lads of an unruly type, eying the lilacs and our windows in turn, while even drunken men leaned against the gate and stared in open-mouthed wonder. Strange people, I thought, how loud they sing and what funny words, as their voices rose above the din and bustle in the thoroughfare without.
