Ten Little Salvos

TEN LITLLE SALVOS
  • Ten little Salvos, standing in a line, one disliked the officer, then there were nine.
  • Nine little Salvos stayed up wery late, one slept in on a Sunday, then there were eight.
  • Eight little Salvos on their way to heaven, one took his own road, the there were seven.
  • Seven little Salvos chirping like some chicks, one disliked the songster leader, then there were six.
  • Six little Salvos seemed very much alive, but one lost his interest then there were five.
  • Five little Salvos pulling for heavens shore, but one stopped to rest, then there were four.
  • four little Salvos, busy as a bee, one got her feelings hurt, then there were three.
  • Three little Salvos knew not what to do, one couldn't forgive another, then there were two.
  • Two earnest Salvos, each won one more, that doubled the number, then there were four.
  • Four sincere Salvos worked early and worked late, each won another, then there were eight.
  • Eight splended Salvos, if they doubled as before, in just a few short weeks, we'd have 1024

Our forefather had a vision to change the world one soul at a time. Although at times it may seem hard to believe- it can still be done (Written by a Captain of the Salvation Army)
