The Vicar

I have a new identity -

A lovely lady from Redroofs Resthome came up to me after the Sunday service and said I reminded her of someone. Not the Vicar of Dibley is it, I said. Yes she said, only much smaller.
I'm taking it as a compliment ........

"The Least Shall Have The Best"

I found the above quote somewhere, I don't know where and haven't been able to find it again. I hope it is a Booth quote, but if it's not then I believe it is a good description of the Booth's philosophy on raising the standard for the poor.
My dream would be that every area of The Salvation Army would promote this philosophy. Imagine what that would look like. The Family Stores would have a top priority of giving the best goods to those in need instead of a top priority of making a dollar. Designer clothing, quality household goods, well made furniture - these things would be reserved for those who find themselves at our doors in need. The excess of these sold to make a dollar.
Is this already how we do it - what do you think?
