Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
It is distressing to note that collections in Salvation Army kettles have fallen off, presumably due to the Bakker affair.
Early in my professional career I assisted in the audit of the Atlanta headquarters of the Army. Since then my contacts with the local headquarters have reinforced my opinion: The Salvation Army gives meticulous care to monies received. Its personnel are honest, hardworking, capable people who are underpaid. I urge that readers do not put coins into their kettles-folded dollar bills fit nicely. (Of course, gold coins are acceptable.)
