Bramwell Booth was the oldest child of William and Catherine Booth, the founders of the Salvation Army. Upon the death of his father, Willie, as he was known within the family, succeeded his father moving from the Army’s first chief of staff to the helm as General. Although his autocratic leadership style caused great dissent within the ranks of the Army, and ultimately lead to his removal, he has left a legacy in this book of cherished insights into the life and character of Christ, the Lord of the universal army of all followers of the Master.

The present volume contains some of the papers bearing on the Birth and Death and Work of our Lord Jesus Christ which I have contributed from time to time to Salvation Army periodicals. I hope that in this form they may continue the service of souls which I am assured they began to render when, one by one, they were first published.
Much in them has, I do not doubt, come to me directly or indirectly by inspiration or suggestion of other writers and speakers, and I desire therefore to acknowledge my indebtedness to the living, both inside and outside our borders, as well as to the holy dead.
