Henry Bullard noted a large number of police lining the waterfront it did not enter his mind that it was a welcome party for the Salvationists. But it was. The Superintendent stepped forward "When will the other members of the party land?" In surprise Tucker replied, "We are the whole of the Army." In evident amazement Police Superintendent Harry Brewin responded “why, we were expecting you to arrive a thousand strong.” The Army formed up, Tucker in the lead, carrying the flag presented by Catherine Booth, Bullard followed playing a cornet and Norman next beating he drum, Mary Thompson brought up the rear with the first tambourine display the Bombay crowd had seen.”

I recently read a Corps review for a Corps in our division, the present challenges facing this particular corps were listed as:
Immediately beneath these ‘challenges’ under the heading ‘Corps mission expectations for the future’ the following words appeared:
“Limited by the above”
This Corps in spite of its perceived limitations has significantly more resources than Bullard, Tucker et al had.
When we read in Proverbs “Where there is no vision, the people perish” is it any wonder revival tarries!

'Limited by the above'? The One whom is Above is never limited, as Booth-Tucker and Bullard can remind us!
