I believe this re-issue to be timely, not only for students and practitioners of sociology but for all who live responsibly in a world in which it would appear that the principles of In Darkest England have been widely accepted yet in which there are lamentable deficiencies in the cultural and spiritual areas of life, as well as the continuing gap between rich and poor nations. ..
William Booth would undoubtedly have been as much aroused by the present day need for breaking the limitations which material affluence isolated from spiritual apprehension places on the genuine living of persons, as he was by the handicap which poverty and conditions of the East End of London in the late Victorian era imposed on individual people there. His response would have been practical, but flavoured with a dynamism which had as its source belief in God man, and the Gospel which brings strength into social purpose.
