Essential Measures

by William Booth

On Christmas Day 1911, less than seven months before he was promoted to Glory, General William Booth wrote a letter to Brigadier James Melling, who was in a leadership position in The Salvation Army in India. General Booth outlines the measures a Salvation Army leader should adopt 'in order to make our work the triumph that we all desire'. That letter is reproduced in this book - partly in William Booth's own handwriting.
