The old man, who is s~eycnty-ive

was the late generals first convert in
London.
One day nearly fifty years ago, be-
fore William Booth had started any
mission work. he was walking down n

outside a notorious drinking house.

days-and surprised by my taking up
the preachers side and from fear OF
my fists. they became quiet. and Booth

me many times.
