Dr. Wilbur Chapman asked General William Booth, “In all these years having all the trials and conflicts and the victories, tell me General Booth what has been the secret of you success all the way through.”
He hesitated a second, and I saw the tears come into his eyes and steal down his cheeks, and then he said, “I will tell you the secret. God has had all there was of me. There have been men with greater opportunities; but from the day I got the poor of London on my heart, and a vision of what Jesus Christ could do with the poor of London, I made up my mind that God would have all of the William Booth there was and if there is anything of power in The Salvation Army today, it is because God has all the adoration of my heart, all the power of my will, and all the influence of my life.”
