War Romance of the Salvation Army

According to Wikipedia: "The Salvation Army is a Protestant Christian Church denomination that is organised in a quasi-military manner. It is well known for its social services and charitable work. The founders, William and Catherine Booth, sought to bring Christian salvation to the poor, destitute and hungry by meeting both their physical and spiritual needs. One of The Salvation Army's stated objectives is: The advancement of the Christian religion as promulgated in the religious doctrines—which are professed, believed and taught by the Army and, pursuant there to, the advancement of education, the relief of poverty, and other charitable objects beneficial to society or the community of mankind as a whole." According to Wikipedia: "Grace Livingston Hill (1865-1947) was born on April 16, 1865 to a Presbyterian Minister, Charles and a published author, Marcia, in Wellsville, New York. She was an early 20th century "Christian Romance" novelist. She was immensely popular in the time that she wrote, contributing hundreds of novels and short stories during her lifetime. Her characters were most often young female ingénues, frequently strong Christian women or those who become so within the confines of the story."
