The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from In Darkest England and The Way Out by General William Booth: Barracks. He went, and the Captain, who knew him well, at once made

what he had heard that he was unable to raise the liquor to his mouth,
although he made three attempts. He again returned to the meeting,
and again quitted it for the public-house. He could not rest, and for

time the Soldiers were singing: --

Mercy still reserved for me?
Can my God his wrath forbear?
