continual aim. I am full of hope that this book may bring me some help,
not only towards his Memorial Scheme, which contemplates the erection
and equipment in London and other Capitals of enlarged premises for the
Training of Officers in every branch of the work, or where they already
have such buildings, the erection of new Headquarters or Halls; but
towards the maintenance and extension in every land of the work he
began.

It cannot but be a special gratification to me to know that this book
will be received with eager affection in almost every part of the
world. How could it ever cease to be my greatest joy to strive more and
more after my Father's ideal of linking together men and women of every
land and race in one grand competition for the extinction of selfishness
by the enlistment of all sorts and conditions of men in one Great Holy
War for God and for all that is good?

Whether those into whose hands this volume falls, agree or not with the
teachings of The Salvation Army, may God grant them Grace to join
heartily at least in this, my Father's great purpose, and so help me to
attain the victory for which he lived and died.
