girl, delicate and poorly clad, six years
ago, proposed to a clergyman who WAS
administering to her at her bedside, that a
church should be built for people like her
self, who were too lndiferentiy dressed to

placed in his hands some copper and
nickel coins which she said would do to
start the subscription. Her name was
Fannie Smith, and her donation was $42I.

every cent is paid.
