"There's a special spot in my heart for The Salvation Army because it stands for what I believe are the important things in life. Things like faith, hope and joy. I like The Salvation Army because of its genuine concern for the whole person - seeing each person as unique and irreplaceable - for each one is made in the divine image of the Creator." - Helen Hayes (1900-1993), First Lady of the American Theatre

Did you know that "O Boundless Salvation" once had a chorus? Known as 'The Founder's Song', the famous seven stanza hymn was written by William Booth (as the story is told) in one evening. But in the early days there was a chorus attached to the song called, "The Heavenly Gales are Blowing". In this early Salvation Army American song book compiled by Evangeline Booth in 1905, the song (with only 5 verses) appears under the title of the chorus. Interestingly, the chorus is in a different time signature than the verses. Have you ever sang "O Boundless Salvation" with the chorus below?

The heav'nly gales are blowing,
The cleansing sea is flowing,
Beneath its waves I'm going,
Hallelujah! praise the Lord!
