Its Doctrines
The following are the principal Doctrines held and
taught by The Salvation Army, as set forth in the
Foundation Deed:
1. WE BELIEVE that the Sdriptures of the,Old
and New Testaments were given by the inspir-
ation of God and that they only constitute the
Divine rule of Christian faith and practise.
2. WE BELIEVE there is only one God who is
infinitely perfect, the Creator, Preserver and
Governor of4 all things and who is the only
proper object of religious worship,
3. WE BELIEVE that there are three persons in
the Godhead, the Father and the Son and the
'Holy Ghost undivided in essence and co-equal
in power and glory.
4. WE BELIEVE that in the .person of Jesus
Christ the •Divine and human natures are unit-
ed so that He is truly and properly God and
truly and properly man.
5, WE BELIEVE that our first parents were..
created in a state of innocency but by their
disobedience they lost their purity and happil.
ness and that in consequence of their fall all
men have become sinners totally depraved and
as such are justly exposed to the wrath of God..
6. WE BELIEVE that the Lord Jesus Christ
has by His suffering and death made an a-
tonement for the whole world so that whoso-
ever will may be saved.
7. WE BELIEVE that repentance toward God,
faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and regenera-
tion by the Holy Spirit are necessary to sal-
vation.
8. WE BELIEVE that we are justified by grace
through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and
that he that believeth bath the witness in
himself.
9. WE BELIEVE that continuance in a state of
salvation depends upon continued obedient
faith in Christ.
10. WE BELIEVE that it is the privilege of all
believers to be "wholly sanctified" and that
their "whole spirit and soul and body" may
"be preserved blameless unto the coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ" (I Thess. v. 23),
WE BELIEVE in the immortality of the
soul in the general judgment at the end of the
world in the eternal happiness of the righteous
and in the endless punishment of the wicked.

Its Doc rines
Its Anniversary
General William Booth
and
Mrs. Booth
The Salvation Army was founded by
General William Booth in 186.5. He
began his revivals in stuffy halls in the
slums of London. His fierce emotion-
alism and weird antics were highly
ridiculed in those days and he was
branded "God's Showman." Through-
out the founding of this great Army
he fought violent opposition all the
way, but won his victory finally. A
great Army was established which
today renders many services to human-
ity over all the world.
