The Secret of Success

“Dr. Wilber Chapman met General Booth [founder of the Salvation Army] and asked him what was the secret of his success. His reply is noteworthy. ‘I’ll tell you the secret,’ said he. ‘God has all there is of me. There have been many men with greater brains than I, and men with greater opportunities; but from the day I got the poor of London on my heart, and a vision of what Christ could do for them, I made up my mind that God should have all there was of William Booth. And if there is anything of power in my work it is because God has all the love of my heart, all the power of my will, and all the influence of my life.” — Pentecostal EvangelMay 21, 1927, p. 2
