#Nakonhaka #UCCanA look back in time to St. James filled to capacity....October 26th, 1937...
An estimated 6,000 people had packed into the downtown church the previous day to listen to the “supreme commander of the Salvation Army.” Those present included business and religious leaders along with the poor, we reported. Her message about the Christian organization “move(d) the whole audience,” our headlines said.
The Salvation Army had been founded by Evangeline Booth’s father, William Booth, in London in 1865. The organization was built on a military model, with ranks for those who were part of “God’s army.” Evangeline Booth was “the only woman in the world to be called General,” we wrote before her Montreal speech.
The work of the Salvation Army was “the world’s greatest romance,” she told the crowd at St. James United. Street meetings, accompanied by music, helped bring a Christian message to those who are “perhaps not as well-blessed as others, to those whose education is lacking,” she said. The importance of music is clear in the foreground of the photograph, where a large brass band is visible.
Upon her arrival in Montreal, Booth was greeted at Windsor Station by Mayor Adhémar Raynault. She departed from the same location, accompanied by a throng of followers who sang “God be with you till we meet again” as the train pulled out of the station.
The Salvation Army remains active here and in 131 countries around the world. It is known for its charitable work.
