Good News

from the editor >> Choosing to be 'in integrity' WARREN L. MAYE A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold. —Proverbs 22:1 D r. Henry Cloud, a clinical psychologist and author of Integrity: The Courage to Meet the Demands of Reality; How Six Essential Qualities Determine Your Success in Business, writes that, to be "in integrity," we must fi rst honestly face reality. And we must realize that as we move through life, we will leave people in our wake. The condition in which we leave those people, Cloud says, is the test of our true character. In those instances when life's options seem debatable, and when sin's immediate but temporary gratifi cation appears to outweigh its inevitable and permanent conse- quences, we must go deep to harvest God's boundless wisdom, strength—and love. In this Good News! you'll read how throughout Salvation Army history, its leaders have sought God's wisdom daily to be accountable and transparent, and to make the most socially and mor- ally responsible decisions possible—in ministry as well as in business. Lt. Colonel Eddie Hobgood, Boundless Congress 2015 coordinator, and a USA Southern Ter- ritory offi cer, says, "When William Booth wandered into the East End and saw the poverty and neglect of the Church, he was moved to do something. We believe very strongly that the call to save the world is as strong today" ("Boundless," page 8). Commissioner William Cochrane, international secretary to the chief of the staff and chair of the Congress Planning and Advisory Council, says, "The call is to authenticity, to individual Salvationists leading authentically, Christlike lives so that people notice a difference," (page 9). Commissioner Barry C. Swanson, ter- ritorial commander, says, "Organizational values are played out, not just in what their leaders say, but in their actual policies," ("SA committed to Socially Responsible Investing," page 6). Today in the midst of an increasingly secular world, the Army's commitment to its purpose rather than to the acquisition of great power has become even more essential to its mission, its favor with oth- ers, and to its enduring good name.

Feb. 2014, footnote), we identifi ed Bill Brough- ton as the father of Bruce Broughton. Bill is actually Bruce's brother. They are the grandsons of Brigadier William F. Broughton who served as bandmaster of the New York Staff Band from 1932–35. In the cover story 'Resident service center' (GN! April 2014), we inadvertently omitted the story's last two lines. Captain Antonio Rosamilia's quote should have read, 'People have always come here for spiritual support, for food support, for clothing support, and they know every time they come here, they're not going to be turned [away].'
