How to Drop Money in Church
From the New York Graphic.
We are frequently asked regarding the |
best manner OF dropping money into the |
contribution box at church, and after care |
fully considering the subject we suggest |
the following rules: First, if you feel par
icularly mean and have only penny to |
bestow, you must, with quick, nervous |
motion, let your mite fall SO that it will es-
cape observation; second, if You have a J
erlble size to give, you may hold it in plain
sight between your thumb and foreinger,
and when you deposit it you may let it
drop from a lofty elevation SO that it may
make musical jingle when it reaches it's
destination; thirdly, if you contemplate
offering bill, you must not take your
money out of your vest pocket until the
ueighbors can see your unparalleled gener-
osity. The moment the collector appears
at the pew door is the ono when you /
must tumble for your money, and then,
methodically unfolding the bill and putting
on your eyeglasses to ascertain its denom-
ination, you may slowly place it in the top
of the box. These three rules, we believe,
will be sufficient for all ordinary purposes.
A button should always be placed in
blank envelope.
