No discharge

The South Pacific Retired Officers Convention - a meeting of Salvation Army officers from Australia and New Zealand -commences in Adelaide this week. Thousands of years of service will be represented by those who gather. There will be lots of references to the past for many of us have entered our 'anecdotage'! But there will also be a lively interest is the challenges of today and a desire still to serve as opportunity arises. There is no discharge in the war against rampant evil in the world and even in old age we feel that we can still play our part.
