"you must do it. you cannot hold back. you have enjoyed yourself in religion long enough. you have sung, you have had pleasant feelings, pleasant songs, pleasant meetings, and pleasant prospects. there has been much human hapiness, much clapping of the hands, very much of Heaven on earth.now, then, go to God and tell Him you are prepared to turn your back upon it all, and that you are willing to spend the rest of your days grappling with [these] perishing multitudes.you must do it. you must go down amongst the perishing crowds. your happiness now consits in sharing in their misery. your ease in sharing their pain, your crown in bearing their cross, and your Heaven in going to the very jaws of hell to rescue them. will you answer His call? will you go?" { william booth }
