Summary "Regeneration" by H. Rider Haggard is a social account written during the early 20th century. In this work, Haggard explores the extensive social initiatives undertaken by the Salvation Army in Great Britain, particularly focusing on its efforts to aid the poor, the destitute, and the marginalized segments of society. Throughout, the author highlights the organization’s various institutions, ranging from shelters and workshops to homes for ex-criminals and maternity services, portraying a comprehensive picture of its multifaceted mission. The opening of "Regeneration" sets the stage for this exploration by addressing common misconceptions about the Salvation Army’s character and work. It begins with an introductory chapter that answers the question, "What is the Salvation Army?" Haggard contrasts the misunderstood public perception with the organization’s actual humanitarian efforts, which have expanded significantly since its inception. He recounts personal encounters and observations from visits to various institutions, such as shelters for men and workshops aimed at rehabilitation, illustrating the lives of the individuals served. Through detailed accounts of the conditions and personal stories of the needy who rely on the Army's assistance, Haggard effectively emphasizes the importance and success of these social initiatives in regenerating lives and fostering dignity among the less fortunate.
