You are not bound by any stereotyped or antiquated notions. What is being done in Europe or America, or what has been done in India, or what is being done at present need not be any rule to you, unless you can see it calculated to gain the end you have in view.

Go, my comrades, and pray, and look about you, and thus acquaint yourselves with local modes of thought and feeling and action, and then adapt yourselves to them, so far as adaptation shall be consistent with the doctrines of the Bible and the principles of The Salvation Army.

William Booth

Short but funny

I rear ended a car this morning.
I knew it was going to be a REALLY bad day.
The driver got out of the other car, and he was a DWARF!
He looked up at me and said, ‘I am NOT happy’.
I said, ‘Well, which one ARE you then?’
That’s when the fight started!!!
