"Anything for Jesus," he called out hoarsely, and rode on, bleeding and battered, supported in his saddle by white-faced fellow soldiers. Although pelted with mud, the bandsmen continued to blow bravely on their instruments. General William Booth stood up in the carriage, beard flying and beak nose pointing to heaven, to direct his soldiers of the gospel and lead them, bedraggled and bloody, into Sheffield's Albert Hall for a revival meeting...
