| | William Booth |
 | | William Booth was born of Church of England parents and was "baptized" when he was two days old. |
 | | At thirteen, Booth was apprenticed to a pawnbroker, limiting his education to that of a private tutor from the Methodist Connexion Church. |
 | | Booth was dictating a letter to his secretary, George Scott Railton (his faithful associate for 48 years), and said, "We are a volunteer army." Bramwell, his son, heard his father and said, "Volunteer, I'm no volunteer, I'm a regular!" Railton was instructed to cross out the word volunteer and substitute the word, salvation. |
