Bramwell Booth is the man of affairs.

Bramwell Booth is the master-mind directing all those world-wide activities.

And but for Bramwell Booth The Salvation Army as it now exists, a vast catholic Organisation, would be unknown to mankind.
"General Booth's secret, so far as one may speak about it at all, lay in his perfectly beautiful and most passionate sympathy with suffering and pain.

I have met only one other man in my life who so powerfully realised the sorrows of other people.

Because General Booth realised these sorrows so very truly and so very actually, he was able to communicate his burning desire for radical reformation to other people.
The contagiousness of his enthusiasm was the obvious cause of his extraordinary success, but the hidden cause of this enthusiasm was the living, breathing, heart-beating reality of his sympathy with sorrow.
When he spoke to one of the sufferings endured by the children of a drunkard, for instance, it was manifest that he himself felt the very tortures and agonies of those unhappy children--really felt them, really endured them.
