With a woman to look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

Well, today's donut day, believe it or not, the day was not founded by Krispy Kreme or

Duncan, but by the Salvation Army in Chicago in 1938, to commemorate their donut lassies

who served during World War I. Founded by a Methodist minister William Booth in the 1860s

to care for the poor in London, the Salvation Army was originally called the East London

Revival Society. During World War I, the organization provided ambulances, clothing for soldiers

and refreshment huts. Booth's daughter, Evangelion, told volunteers that you are going overseas

to serve Christ. Forget yourselves, be examples of his love, be willing to endure hardship,

to lay down your lies if need be for his sake. With the women stationed at refreshment huts in

France, served donuts to the weary men on the front lines to bring them a taste of home.

When the troops returned, they brought this love of donuts back with them. And that's why we have

donut day. With a call since then, I'm John Stone Street with the Point.
