The Salvation Army

[kev67]

The chapter which included Jack London queueing up for breakfast at the Salvation Army reminded me of a similar incident in Down and Out in Paris and London when George Orwell was given something to eat by them about thirty years later. OTOH, at least the Salvation Army were giving food to the destitute, but OTOH, the destitute were had to wait hours and were forced to listen to a lot of preaching afterwards. I have often wondered whether the Salvation Army took notice of George Orwell's criticism.
