CALL TO SERVICE
SALVATION 'ARMY MEMBERS A call to all Salvationists in New Zealand has been issued by Commissioner J. Evan Smith. “We have no idea how and when the need will arise, but in the name of God and as your leader, I call upon every officer, local officer and soldier to stand ready and without hesitation or fear to plunge right into any and every opportunity that presents itself for service and sacrifice,” he says. “Wherever there is sorrow, there the Salvationist must be giving comfort. Wherever there is suffering, the Salvationist must be helping and alleviating. Wherever someone is lonely and sad, there the Salvationist must be a companion. Wherever there are women and children distressed or homeless or wounded or ill. the Salvationist must be there. Where there is danger or even death the Salvation Army officer or soldier must be helping and consoling. “Not one of us must hold back or be missing, but we the officers and soldiers of New Zealand, must live up to the highest traditions of the Army and prove ourselves worthy of our wonderful people in the Homeland and in the invaded countries who have fearlessly braved danger and suffering and have even given their lives for Christ and duty.”
