  Bramwell Booth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bramwell Booth (March 8, 1856 – June 16, 1929) was the 2nd General of The Salvation Army (1912-1929).
He was born William Bramwell Booth in Halifax, Yorkshire, England, the eldest of eight children born to William Booth and Catherine Mumford.
Bramwell would hold this title until his father's death, when he himself was named General in his father's will.

 [No title]
Booth's object was to be a help to her husband--not a hindrance; to push him forward in his soul-saving work--not to hold him back; and therefore, instead of rejoicing, as most wives and mothers would have done, when a settled home and work were offered him, she was doubtful.
Booth's name as a preacher was by this time becoming as widely known as that of her husband; and they went from one place to another, at first together, and then, afterwards, separately, so as to be able to do more good, for four long years.
Booth had the true mother spirit when but a little child, loving and tending her dolls as if they had been real babies; you will, therefore, guess that with her own children she was the best and most careful of mothers.

 WESLEYAN INFLUENCE ON WILLIAM AND CATHERINE BOOTH
William Booth had begun preaching in a tent in London's Whitechapel district in 1865, where he was concerned with winning the "masses" to the Christian gospel.
The Booths confined their interest to the moral universe, and even in that ethereal sphere they were only interested in redemption of the world to God.
But Begbie went too far when he said Booth "must always be judged as a man who, for the sake of Christ, denied his period and lived without enthusiasm for human inquiry."9 William's sense of his time, at least in his own orbit of human reform, was the essential quality of his success.
