On the 20th of August 1912, William Booth, God's soldier, laid down his
sword. Congress Hall, London. Townsend came to pay tribute.

Last time, he leaves the army headquarters in Queen Victoria Street.
Through the streets of London, his funeral procession passed, through
the city of which he was Freeman. The flags of nations invaded by the
army were carried proudly at the head of the column.

The whole traffic of this metropolis was arrested by one of the densest
multitudes that ever thronged its thoroughfare. As the carriage passed
the mansion house, the Lord Mayor of London saluted the coffin. Ten
thousand men and women from the ranks of the Salvation Army, specially
selected to represent their comrades, walked behind their promoted
leader, who had taught them to give their lives ministering to the
poorest, the lowliest, and the lost.
