"I'll Fight"

This is an extract from General William Booth's last public address, given on May 9th, 1912.

Speech

While women weep as they do now, I’ll fight;

while little children go hungry as they do now, I’ll fight;

while men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do now, I’ll fight;

while there is a drunkard left,

while there is a poor lost girl on the streets,

while there remains one dark soul without the light of God,

I’ll fight – I’ll fight to the very end.
