William Booth passionately addresses the criticism of the Salvation Army's rapid progress in spreading the Gospel, arguing that the call to slow down is misguided. He emphasizes the urgency of saving souls, comparing the speed of salvation to the swift spread of sin and the need for Christians to match that pace. Booth challenges both friends and foes to recognize the importance of advancing the Kingdom of God without hesitation, asserting that the stakes are too high to slow down. He encourages his comrades to push forward, regardless of the risks, as the mission of salvation is paramount. Ultimately, he calls for a collective acceleration in efforts to fulfill God's desire for all to be saved.
