Amarillo, Texas - The Salvation Army in Amarillo might have to do something it's never done before... Tell people "No."

[And the Lord then] subjoins this weighty reflection [in Luke 16:8]: "The children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light."
Those who seek no other portion than this world "are wiser" (not absolutely—for they are one and all the veriest fools, the most egregious madmen under heaven—but "in their generation," in their own way, they are more consistent with themselves; they are more truer to their acknowledged principles;
