THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ON BEHALF OF THE SALVATION ARMY. I WANT TO THANK YOU, MAYOR. THE CITY MANAGER AND THE CITY COUNCIL FOR YOUR MEANINGFUL SUPPORT OF THIS CATTLE CAMPAIGN. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL START TO OUR $100,000 GOLD IS HERE. THAT WE WILL POUR BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY OF MCKINNEY ASSISTING THE BEST WAY WE CAN THROUGH OUR PROGRAMS. I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU A STORY ABOUT OUR FOUNDER. GENERAL WILLIAM BOOTH THAT HAPPENED IN 1911. I BELIEVE IT WILL SERVE AS A POWERFUL MOTIVATION FOR EVERYONE WHO HEARS IT. CHRISTMAS WAS ALWAYS THE MOST DEMANDING TIME OF THE YEAR. EVERYONE, IT SEEMED NEEDED EXTRA HELP. THIS IS WHY WILLIAM BOOTH WANTED TO SEND A TELEGRAM TO HIS SOLDIERS EVERY CHRISTMAS EVE. HIS ANNUAL MESSAGE WAS ALWAYS A WELCOME ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE WEARY SERVANTS OF GOD. CHRISTMAS OF 1911 WOULD BE BOOTHS. LAST ONE ON EARTH. HE WENT TO HEAVEN THE FOLLOWING YEAR. HOW SIGNIFICANT THIS FINAL CHRISTMAS EVE COMMUNICATION WOULD TURN OUT TO BE. HE SAT DOWN TO COMPOSE THE TELEGRAM. A PARAGRAPH OF HEARTFELT WORDS FLOWED FROM HIS SPAN. SURELY THE TROOPS WOULD BE UPLIFTED BY HIS CHRISTMAS CHARGE. BUT UPON REALIZING THE COST OF THE TELEGRAM IN THOSE DAYS YOU PAID FOR EVERY WORD YOU SENT. AND DRIVEN BY HIS PASSION TO MINISTER TO AS MANY AS POSSIBLE HE BEGAN TO EDIT HIS MESSAGE. THE BETTER GRAPH BECAME THREE SENTENCES, THEN ONE SENTENCE. BOTH KEPT WRITING, EDITING AND STRUGGLING TO SUMMARIZE HIS YEARLY CHARGE IN THREE WORDS. FINALLY HE DECIDED TO SEND ONLY ONE WORD. ONE WORD. THAT WOULD INSPIRE AN ENTIRE ARMY OF SOLDIERS. VOLUNTEERS. CARING NEIGHBORS CHRISTIANS TO WIN SOULS. FEED THE HUNGRY. AND PROVIDE SHELTER FOR THE HOMELESS. FINALLY THAT ONE WORD CAME IT WAS SIMPLY THE WORD. OTHERS. AS WE CELEBRATE THIS HOLY SEASON AND WORSHIP THE KING OF KINGS. LET US REACH OUT TO OTHERS. IN A FRESH. LOVING AND COMPASSIONATE WAY. LIKE DOING THE MOST GOOD FOR OTHERS BE OUR MISSION THIS SEASON. AFTER ALL. FOR GOD SO LOVED OTHERS. THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON. THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM. SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. THANK YOU. WHAT A POWERFUL POWERFUL STORY. THANK YOU. 21 0984 CONSIDER AN
