Found a great statement by William Booth and other info:
three foundational Salvation Army statements on the subject of modern warfare.
1) From Chosen to be a Soldier, the Orders and Regulations for Salvationists:
The Salvationist will regard war as an evil and will condemn the use of force as a means of settling differences between nations.
2) From the Founder, William Booth in The Generals Letters:
One thing is plain-every true soldier of The Salvation Army would cry day and night to God to avert so dreadful a calamity as war. Let him shut his ears to all the worldly, unscriptural, un-Christian talk about war being a necessity. It cannot be a necessity before God that tens of thousands of men should be launched into eternity will all manner of revengeful passionate feelings in their souls, and too often, according to the testimony of these who know all about it, with dreadful blasphemies on their lips. Whatever may be the right method of setting human disputes and preventing earthly calamities, this cannot be the divine plan. This cannot be the will of God.
3) From The Officers Review-1933 by Bramwell Booth:
War is hideous-a fierce and hellish tragedy. The earth is red with blood and the sky dark with the wrath of God. War-like preparations and wicked ambitions, whenever they have been found together in the history of the world, have always produced abominable consequences. WAR VIOLATES ALMOST EVERY RULE GOD HAS LAID DOWN.
