The Salvation Army, contrary to what has often been thought by surface observers, has owed its existence, its strength, and its success chiefly to our careful attention to the profoundest questions of the soul. And still, as always, we wish to urge upon all the study of those great practical truths, without the proclamation of which our work for men would cease to have any abiding value. We glory in the knowledge of Christ as a perfect Saviour just as much for this, our own time, as for any past generation, or for any generation yet to come. The pretence that this age has reached some superior development, whether mental or moral, for which a new kind of Saviour is needed, seems to us absurd. And we do not believe it can long endure where Christ is really known. To the most thoughtful, therefore, as well as to those who have the least time for thought, I earnestly commend the words of devout and practical men upon those great questions, which I hope to see reproduced in the series of which the present volume is the first.

Samuel Logan Brengle (1860-1936) was a commissioner in The Salvation Army and a leading author, teacher and preacher on the doctrine of Holiness. His books include The Soul Winner's Secret, Helps to Holiness and Heart Talks on Holiness. He was an exceptional scholar, and while a number of opportunities were open to him, he felt that his calling was to be a preacher and so following university, he became a circuit preacher for the Methodist church. Later on he was encouraged to study theology and so he enrolled at the Boston Theological Seminary. It was at this seminary that he was exposed to the teaching of holiness, and later claimed the experience for his own life. He was once asked for his secret of holiness to which he replied: "Keep in the will of God, obey Him, seek Him daily, waiting at His gates. Read the Bible regularly. Never neglect secret prayer. Keep testifying to the grace bestowed upon you. Help others."

This book is intended to help every reader of its pages into the immediate enjoyment of Bible holiness. Its writer is an officer of The Salvation Army who, having a gracious experience of the things whereof he writes, has been signally used of God, both in life and testimony, to the sanctifying of the Lord's people, as well as in the salvation of sinners. I commend him and what he as here written down to every lover of God and His kingdom on the earth. I joyfully add that the perusal of some of the papers which follow has been abundantly blessed to my own heart, and that I have no doubt but that the Hold Spirit has instructed and influenced the writer. - W. Bramwell Booth

The Soul-Winner's Secret demonstrates a series of techniques and traits which ministers and missionaries alike must employ to convert wayward souls to the cause of Jesus Christ.Winning souls is not easy or for the fainthearted; often, those who have strayed from the embrace of the Lord are either ashamed or of poor moral character; consequently, they feel unable to reconcile with the Christian faith. Brengle demonstrates how winning souls to the cause is a matter of having the correct message in mind, possessing the means to perceive the character and desires of others, and preserving one's own health and the finances of one's church.Samuel Logan Brengle was an early commissioner of the Salvation Army; a position which led him to encounter many unfortunate people. The organization would help many thousands of unlucky individuals who had been variously struck by poverty or misfortune; setting these souls back on their feet remains the organization's mission to this day.

L. Brengle was in a superb position to witness both the best and worst in humanity.
