“It isn’t wicked to be reduced to rags.

It is not a sin to starve, to pawn the few sticks of  furniture to buy fuel and to pay the rent.

It is a misfortune that comes to people, honest and good people, in hard times, or when work is hard to get.

It is such people that the [Salvation Army’s] social scheme means to help.” – William Booth, Salvation Army Founder (War Cry  30. 07. 2011)
