William Booth, the Salvation Army, and Onward Christian Soldiers

The Salvation Army, according to Wikipedia, "was founded in London's East End in 1865 by one-time Methodist Reform Church minister William Booth and his wife Catherine. (Pictured here).Originally, Booth named the organization the East London Christian Mission. …"

Today's link will introduce you to some amazing audio and video footage.

First you will hear the actual voice of William Booth, the founder.

Then you will see video of images of very early scenes of Salvation Army folks and others marching to the Hymn "Onward Christian Soldiers".  I think there are even some shots of William Booth included.

This is truly an historical audio and video.
