Quotes 

• Rev. George L. Bolton, Bowery Mission : Gentlemen, for more than 28 years now, I have ministered, shall I say on Skid Row, endeavoring to tell men that there are no hopeless cases with God. I think I know somewhat of the truth of that statement from personal experience; because, I am a product of a rescue mission located on Skid Row. I dare say there isn't a man here today who started out to end up on the Bowery.

• Rev. George L. Bolton, Bowery Mission : The Bowery of New York. At least one newspaper man stated that it was the saddest and the maddest street in the world. Maybe that was an understatement. Truly it is a tragic - street.

• Rev. George L. Bolton, Bowery Mission : I don't believe there's a - that ever a man, whether he be on Skid Row or otherwise, who started out with a life ambition to end up in a drunkard's grave and yet that might happen to some person here, this very day. It need not be so. God loves you, man.
