Isn't it ironic?

All across the country the Army is collecting funds to help needy people. We have a friend from one of our cells who works in a fairly large sized office. He told us last week that the company announced that they will be donating money to The Salvation Army this Christmas season. And how are they raising the funds you ask? They're having a raffle and the prize is liquor!

Now this may not sound so funny to someone unfamiliar with the Army's values but it's quite ironic since as a movement/church/whatever you want to call us, we abstain from gambling and alcohol. I would bet that this would ruffle many a feather. It makes me think, however, of something I once heard quoted of our founder, William Booth - that he would take money from the devil himself and wash it in the blood of the lamb if it meant furthering God's kingdom.
