The quote you’ve shared is attributed to General William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army. It appears in his book titled “In Darkest England and The Way Out”1. This work, published in 1890, outlines Booth’s vision for addressing social issues and helping the poor and marginalized.

Booth’s book proposed far-reaching ideas, including:

  1. Hostels for the Homeless: He advocated for providing food and shelter to every person in need.
  2. Work for the Unemployed: Booth envisioned a factory where out-of-work individuals could find employment.
  3. Regimentation of the Unemployed: He proposed organizing and managing the unemployed population.
  4. The Household Salvage Brigade: A concept aimed at salvaging and repurposing resources from households.

Interestingly, Booth’s principles remain relevant today. In fact, the Salvation Army has recently published a new book titled “In Darkest England: 130 Years On”, which pays tribute to the original work and highlights how Booth’s social action ideas continue to resonate in our modern world2.

General William Booth’s legacy extends beyond his time, and his commitment to helping those in need continues to inspire social reform efforts worldwide3. 🌟
