12:39Well, what's where you're going?
12:43You looking to meet your maker, Gov?
12:46Are you ready to meet yours?
12:48What?
12:49I'm preaching in the big tent, just the near side of the East End, at 7 o'clock.
12:54Come, and hear the words of life.
12:57What did you say?
12:58I said, come and hear the words of life.
13:04And bring these men with you.
13:09Sorry, mate.
13:10What's going on?
13:10It's a hanging, Peter.
13:12Don't worry if you want to get a good seat.
13:15Come on!
13:23Perfect!
13:24A hanging will be good for business.
13:27That man's about to die.
13:28Is that all you can think about?
13:30Packing them into your pub?
13:31A man's got to make a living.
13:33What's wrong with that?
13:36God be merciful to me, a sinner.
13:40God be merciful to me, a sinner.
13:44If that ain't Billy.
13:46Billy?
13:47He's been coming to the pub since he was a little lad.
13:51Good client.
13:52Did a little stealing here and there.
13:55Come to think of it, he kind of reminds me of you.
14:00God be merciful to me, a sinner.
14:06What a bloke.
14:10He lived in hell here and he'll be living in hell here after.
14:15Right you are.
14:16And that'll probably be you someday, Elijah.
14:23That'll probably be you.
14:28Come on over.
14:30Have a drink.
14:38I don't want to go to hell, Chester.
14:43I don't want to.
14:45I don't want to go to hell.
14:49Oh, he'll be back.
14:52He'll be thirsting for a drink in no time.
14:55The bloke can't live without it.
15:01Let us rejoice.
15:03For my son was dead and is alive again.
15:07He was lost.
15:09Now.
15:09Now he has been found.
15:12That was close.
15:15Oh.
15:15Bullseye.
15:16Got him good that time, Charlie.
15:19Lord, I cannot give up.
15:21Please help me.
15:24God extends his arms to each one of you.
15:33That was a quick answer to prayer.
15:36Where were we then?
15:37Ah, yes.
15:40God extends his arms.
15:48Evening, Gov.
15:49Ah.
15:50You said something about the words of life and, well...
15:54I'm looking forward to hearing all about it.
15:57We all are.
15:59Ain't we?
16:00It's Peter Monk.
16:02The prizefighter from the East End.
16:04Oh, and, ah, brought some blokes with me, too.
16:08Just like you asked.
16:10You!
16:12We don't need your preaching, Randia.
16:16We're just fine, we are.
16:19We're...
16:19Not fine.
16:22What are you...
16:24We're not fine, Daddy.
16:26Ah, what do you know, girl?
16:30I know we don't have anywhere to live.
16:33And I know we don't have anything to eat.
16:35And...
16:36And I know we don't have you, Daddy.
16:39We don't have you.
16:44You said God meant better for us, sir.
16:48Is it true?
16:50Is it true that God can make things better for my family and me?
16:54For my father?
16:57Yes, my dear.
16:59God can do that for you.
17:02For your father, also.
17:04If he will let him.
17:08It's the drink, sir.
17:10I...
17:11I just can't seem to leave it.
17:15If God can help me.
17:18If he'll have me.
17:20Then I want him.
17:23I want him.
17:27I want him too, sir.
17:30Me too!
17:36Nearly half of the clients at my pub no longer show up.
17:40Keeps up like this, I'll need to shut down.
17:43Same here.
17:44I'm barely getting by.
17:46You said Preacher.
17:48We've got to do something about him.
17:50He's convinced some of my best customers to leave the drink he has.
17:54Yes, even Johnny.
17:56Nah, Johnny?
17:58How's that possible?
17:59Saw it with my own eyes, I did.
18:02Preachers made Johnny a man or a legend.
18:04Won't touch the stuff no longer, so he stays.
18:08Oh, excuse me.
18:11Give me a large one, won't you, Georgie?
18:13Not just yet.
18:15Hey, that's all I can get of him.
18:18Ain't you supposed to be making a living to pay for this little chimney sweep?
18:22You know I ain't seen Liger since the hanging.
18:25Disappeared, he has.
18:26I do what I can.
18:29Steal what you can is more like it.
18:31What of it?
18:32Thieves get caught.
18:34Even here in the East End.
18:36And, well, people can get downright nasty.
18:40Now, I've treated you good, haven't I?
18:43Especially since you ain't got any mum and dad.
18:46Being like a father to you, I am.
18:48Giving you all this beer and such.
18:50Because I like you, Henry.
18:52What do you want?
18:54Well, it's time you started earning some of that special treatment, Henry.
18:59Gather some of your friends.
19:02I've got a job for you.
19:05In the dirt!
19:07That's right, Johnny.
19:10You tell him, Johnny!
19:12That's where the drinking got me.
19:14What a waste.
19:18You could have poured the beer in me cup, you bloke.
19:22That I could have, lad.
19:24And hang me if in a few years I wouldn't be seeing you as I was.
19:29Drunk and nearly dead in the streets while me wife and kids went hungry.
19:35No, lad.
19:37The drink did nothing for me.
19:40It's what Jesus saved me from.
19:42And what he wants to save you from as well.
19:47The place is overflowing, William.
19:49We can hardly fit everyone.
19:51Yes, I've been thinking about that, too.
19:54I'm sure God will show us what to do.
19:58Everyone in place?
20:13Well, what are you waiting for?
20:16Nothing.
20:28Do you think it was the wind, William?
20:30The tent was rather old.
20:33Perhaps the ropes.
20:34Well, cut.
20:35What?
20:35What do you mean?
20:37This ain't no accident.
20:38It's a clean cut, see?
20:40Someone wanted to stop this service.
20:42And I bet I know who is behind it.
20:51Come on, lads.
20:53It's time to celebrate a job well done.
20:55I bet we'll be rid of them for a while.
21:26I'm not so sure about that.
21:27I bet we're not so sure about that.
21:28I'm not sure about that.
21:29Do something.
21:30This is getting out of hand.
21:32War!
21:37William!
21:38What are you saying?
21:40William!
21:41A war!
21:42A war like the East End has never seen.
21:46A war!
21:48Against sin!
21:49Sin? Sin?
21:52I?
21:53Yes, the sin of drink,
21:56and of the vices that kept you and your families in despair and poverty,
22:00the sin of greed which drives the pub owners to sell what is harmful to others.
22:06This is a war that shall not be won with our fists, clubs, or sticks,
22:12but rather with weapons that the East End has never seen.
22:17Love, kindness, prayer, and unselfishness.
22:22We shall be soldiers, but we shall be an army under God's banner and leading.
22:30We will take their insults, and if need be, their fists,
22:35and we shall respond with the weapon of God's choice, His truth and love.
22:56There's the strongest men on the outside.
22:58I forgot to let the others know.
23:01Are you prepared to fight?
23:03Yes!
23:06Now, we all know they're coming supposedly to rescue the perishing,
23:13and there will be some perishing tonight, that's for sure.
23:20We must be brave!
23:22Brave!
23:25We must stand strong!
23:28Stand strong!
23:30Weapons ready!
23:32Weapons ready!
23:34Weapons!
23:36Well?
23:38I saw them.
23:39They're on their way.
23:40But Chester, they ain't armed.
23:43No, but we are.
23:45They ain't coming to hurt nobody.
23:47I saw them.
23:49They got Bibles.
23:50You got clubs.
23:51You're just going to scare them, right?
23:54We just want our friends back.
23:56Bring them back to the fold.
23:57Half-old, half-old.
23:58Just like the good old days.
24:01Good old days?
24:08Well, if it ain't old Johnny the Drunk,
24:11sober are you?
24:12Give it a try, Mickey.
24:14God loves you, you know.
24:16Gertie, is that you?
24:18Hallelujah!
24:19I did notice the rubbish bin's looking fuller.
24:22I thought you was dead.
24:24You're looking good, Gertie.
24:27My friends,
24:29God loves you.
24:31And he wants to give you a better life.
24:34That's right.
24:35God loves you.
24:36God loves you.
24:37God loves you.
24:39Chester, old friend.
24:40Henry!
24:42Hi, Johnny.
24:44Come on, on the house.
24:47Like old times.
24:49Remember?
24:50Your family.
24:51Not in a million years, Chester.
24:54Nothing good ever came of it.
24:56And nothing good will come of it for anyone else.
25:06Well, speak for yourself, Johnny.
25:08I'm a happy man now, Chester.
25:11God saved me from the drink,
25:13and I ain't never coming back to the bottle.
25:16Well, maybe the bottle will come back to you.
25:19Come on, boys.
25:20The world's on!
25:31Why'd you hit him?
25:32He said he was a friend.
25:34Like family.
25:35As long as he's paying for a drink, he is.
25:38But his talk will ruin my business.
25:40Stop!
25:41Stop!
25:43William!
25:44William!
25:45Chester!
25:46God loves you.
25:48He can help you as he did me.
25:50Hey, keep your mouth shut.
25:55Henry!
25:59You want to side with them, lads?
26:01You do that.
26:02But don't you ever come round these parts again.
26:05You hear me?
26:07Not again.
26:08Friends, God loves you.
26:11A better life is what he offers you.
26:14A better life!
26:22I'll get some bandages.
26:24William, we need to tend to that wound.
26:26It's only a scratch.
26:27I'll help the others.
26:30We gave the devil a licking.
26:33Kapow!
26:34Right you are!
26:36Ah, good for another battle.
26:38Well, wait a minute.
26:40Aren't you the one that threw that rock at me?
26:43Shame to say I am.
26:45But you're the first man's ever responded with God's word instead of a fist.
26:49And well, I want what gives you that courage.
26:53As do I.
26:55And I.
26:56If God can help me, like you says, I want him.
27:00No one ever cared enough to go to the pubs and the like and take the beaten yule.
27:06Henry!
27:07He took the blow for me.
27:09Put him on the couch.
27:12Oh, poor boy.
27:16Lad?
27:18Lad?
27:22Why'd you do it, lad?
27:23Why'd you take the blow for me?
27:26Because of what you said about us, Johnny.
27:29You said nobody cares about us in the East End.
27:32Not even God.
27:34I don't understand, Henry.
27:37God came to the East End today, Johnny.
27:40In all of you.
27:41He does care about us.
27:43Now I know he does.
27:45You're right, Henry.
27:47God does care.
27:49And we'll keep on going back to let each and every person in the East End know that.
27:55No matter what it takes.
28:17Hiya, Chester.
28:19We miss seeing you.
28:21Henry, too.
28:27What do you want?
28:28Johnny.
28:29Peter.
28:30They pray for you.
28:33Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
28:34You got them all cleaned up, sober and religious.
28:38But what now, preacher, eh?
28:41There's still a poor, miserable, half-hungry, uneducated lot with no future.
28:45At least I gave them a way to forget their lot in life.
28:50You go on preaching.
28:52And when you run out of words, well, I'll be waiting here for them.
28:57The whole lot of them.
28:59Know why?
28:59Because they ain't got a future.
29:02No future at all.
29:05Now, get out.
29:14They ain't got a future.
29:16No future at all.
29:22Now I know my ABCs.
29:27Next time won't you sing with me.
29:31Wonderful.
29:33You've done very well today.
29:35Class dismissed.
29:37Very good.
29:38You're becoming very good seamstresses.
29:42Opening up the training centre has been a wonderful idea, William.
29:46We must fight on to win men's souls and to better their lives.
29:52I'll be off to the Whitechapel soup kitchen, Reverend Booth.
29:55We have five centres feeding hundreds of people today.
29:59Off to the square with our hallelujah band, Reverend Booth.
30:02Be back soon with some people.
30:04Hallelujah!
30:06Nah, this way, Gertie.
30:08Oh, hallelujah!
30:13Reverend Booth.
30:14Yes, welcome to the mission hall.
30:17What can I do for you?
30:18Reverend Booth, my name is...
30:20Lighter Cadman?
30:21Lighter?
30:23Lighter?
30:24Henry?
30:26Little Henry!
30:27Praise God!
30:29You?
30:31Hallelujah!
30:40When I seen that man hanging and Chester said I'd end up like that,
30:45while I took to some thinking,
30:46I had a choice, Reverend.
30:49I could either keep drinking like I'd done all me life,
30:52since I was five,
30:54or face up to things.
30:56And well,
30:57eventually I gave my life to the Lord.
31:00Then he changed me, he did.
31:02I read some of your tracts,
31:04and well,
31:05I'd like to join you, sir,
31:07if you'll have me.
31:08I ain't educated,
31:09but I love the Lord.
31:11A bit of a misfit, I am.
31:13Well,
31:13what do you think, Mr. Booth?
31:15Thought this would draw him in?
31:17Come drunk or sober?
31:20Misfit, you say?
31:21Well, Mr. Cadman,
31:23looks like you've come to the right place.
31:25That I have, sir.
31:27Praise God!
31:29That I have!
31:40War, war, war.
31:42Two hundred men and women wanted at once
31:44to join the fight against sin.
31:47Artillery to arrive at 9.30 a.m.
31:50Come and hear the general of the army.
31:54Reverend Booth,
31:55you're early.
31:56Elijah,
31:57what is this?
31:59Army.
32:01Artillery.
32:02Yeah, well,
32:03I started using a bit of those terms
32:05round these parts,
32:06and well,
32:06I saw the men of the town
32:07seemed to respond to it.
32:09War against sin, I mean,
32:11and well,
32:12I hope I didn't go too far, sir.
32:14Captain Elijah!
32:17Captain Elijah, sir!
32:19General, sir,
32:20the troops have set up
32:21most of the signs around town, sir.
32:23We expect a great crowd of people.
32:29Captain,
32:30General.
32:31I'm very sorry,
32:32oh, sir.
32:34Sorry?
32:35Why?
32:37This is wonderful, Elijah.
32:40Wonderful.
32:41We are at war.
32:43The war against sin.
32:45And if this helps to draw a crowd,
32:46well,
32:47you go right ahead.
32:49Put more of them up.
32:50General,
32:51Captain Elijah.
32:52Yes, sir!
32:54Woo-hoo!
33:00The Salvation Army.
33:02That's what they call themselves now.
33:05If you ask me,
33:07Booth has taken this too far.
33:0927,000 people attending their Sunday night meetings.
33:14They even have their own magazine.
33:16The war cry.
33:19The war cry.
33:19They're doing much good.
33:21Good?
33:22Marching down the streets,
33:24preaching in the pubs?
33:26They also feed the penniless.
33:28And now they help the poor learn a trade.
33:31The Salvation Army saves souls
33:34and changes lives.
33:37Really?
33:38And how do you know?
33:41Oh, believe me, sir.
33:43I do know.
33:46More tea?
33:47No, thank you.
33:54Goodness.
33:55Where will it stop?
33:57You don't suppose they'll try and take over the country, do you?
34:01No.
34:03I don't think they're out to take over the country.
34:06Thank heavens for that.
34:08I believe they're out to take over the world.
34:21From their humble beginnings in the East End of London
34:24and under the devoted and courageous leadership
34:26of William and Catherine Booth,
34:28the Salvation Army continued its war against sin,
34:32often in the face of dangerous opposition.
34:35No threat could stop the dedication
34:37of the ever-growing army,
34:39and soon their numbers swelled
34:41to a quarter of a million officers.
34:43Not content with spreading the gospel of Christ in England,
34:46the army soon expanded to Canada, Australia, France,
34:51Switzerland, India, South Africa and Iceland,
34:54and today the Salvation Army can be found
34:57in virtually every corner of the world.
35:01Whether it be to provide the help needed
35:03after a natural catastrophe
35:05or the needs of the poor for food and shelter,
35:07or even just the need for human companionship,
35:10the army is always there,
35:13fulfilling the vision of its founder,
35:15whose spirit continues to move each soldier
35:17to greater service for God and men.
35:22While women weep as they do now,
35:25I'll fight.
35:27While little children go hungry as they do now,
35:31I'll fight.
35:33While men go to prison,
35:35in and out,
35:36in and out,
35:37as they do now,
35:38I'll fight.
35:40While there is a drunkard left,
35:42while there is a poor lost girl on the streets,
35:45while there remains one dark soul
35:48without the light of God.
35:50I'll fight.
35:52I'll fight to the very end.
35:54I'll fight.
35:55I'll fight.
36:12I'll fight.
36:14I'll fight.
36:18I'll fight.
36:20I'll fight.
36:20I'll fight.
