First off, William Booth didn't "make" The Salvation Army. This organization was raised up by God himself. This may sound a little arrogant but it's the truth. William, being a Methodist minister, was burdened by all the depravity and degredation in London, England. He was further burdened by the fact that the mainstream church of his day didn't do much to help these "castoffs" of society. So after much prayer and seeking God's will he, along with his wife Catherine, and with help from, of course, God, they founded the Salvation Army. The Salvation Army is a "movement" forged by the Holy Spirit, and commissioned by God to preach the gospel in Jesus name and to help humankind without discrimination
