About Salvation Army
The Salvation Army is a Protestant Christian church and an international charitable organisation founded and headquartered in London, England. It is aligned with the Wesleyan-Holiness movement. The organisation reports a worldwide membership of over 1.7 million, consisting of "soldiers", officers, and adherents who are collectively known as salvationists. Its founders sought to bring salvation to the poor, destitute, and hungry by meeting both their "physical and spiritual needs". It says it has an official presence in 133 countries, running charity shops, operating shelters for the homeless, and disaster relief and humanitarian aid to developing countries.

He was arrested in old age in 1913 for harassing Salvation Army workers with a pea shooter. Better that than the machine gun, I guess. Yeah, yeah. I read a story about him, which was that when he invented the machine gun but was testing it out, in his neighborhood.

Twitter list. I got one here. At Timothee underscore Johnson the motto of the Salvation Army is Blood and Fire. They were very funny. They were very funny. They were very unpopular for a while. People really didn't like the Salvation Army. Maybe that was the branding issue.
