To get a man soundly saved

To get a man soundly saved it is not enough to put on him a pair of new breeches, to give him regular work, or even to give him a University education. These things are all outside a man, and if the inside remains unchanged you have wasted your labor. You must in some way or other graft upon the man's nature a new nature, which has in it the element of the Divine.

-- William Booth (10 April 1829 – 20 August 1912, British Methodist preacher and founder of The Salvation Army, and its first General, 1878–1912)

[TBC: Sadly, today's Salvation Army has to a great extent capitulated to the agenda of the world and as a result moved far from the Gospel focus of their founder.]
