About the author
Born in England in 1849, Thomas Henry Howard became a prominent officer in the Salvation Army and later served as its second Chief of the Staff. Before that, he had worked as a builder, and his decision to join the movement became a turning point in a life devoted to evangelical work and leadership.
Howard served in a range of important posts, including work in Britain, Australia, and at the Salvation Army's International Headquarters in London. Alongside his administrative responsibilities, he was also a speaker and religious writer whose best-known book, Standards of Life and Service, grew out of addresses delivered at holiness meetings in the early 1900s.
His books reflect the same qualities associated with his public ministry: clarity, discipline, and a strong emphasis on character and service. He died in 1923, and his work remains of interest to readers exploring Salvation Army history, Christian devotion, and practical spiritual teaching.
