Conteen Gets A Surprise

''The other night the red shield

Army in Boston rolled up to a
group of Il men at a pier along
Boston harbor standing in rain,
s1eet and wind" related Major
Charles Schuerholz-
"A voice rang out from within
the canteen.
"Good evening, boys. How many
are here?"
ITO the II men went coffee and
to each man four crisp doughnuts
from the now famous Salvation
Army doughnut recipe.
"Just about the minute they all
started eating and drinking, one
of the soldier guards moved up
close to the side of the mobile can
teen and said:
I'm a Salvationist. I suppose
that you people belong to corps
around Boston. I belong to the
Hoboken, N. J. Corps"
"Greetings and invitations to the
soldier to visit the Boston corps
followed. As the truck hurried off
to the next stop Of the night trip
the Hoboken Salvationist tossed a
few coins into the open door with
a request that the money be
dropped into the collection plate at
the next meeting, adding as the
canteen went into high speed: "Be
sure to read the first verse of the
forty-seventh psalm"
"When the canteen had covered
the two hours run in serving men
far from home on isolated jobs,
men assigned to antiaircraft posts,
bridges, wharves and important
wartime structure, and had passed
out 100 dozen doughnuts and UP
to 500 cups Of hot coffee, the
canteen crew turned to the Bible
and read the first verse of the
forty-seventh psalm.
