Two very pretty girls in this town recently
atendei service in a church where they were
strangers. When the time came for taking
up the collection they found 10 their disrnay
that they had but one cent between them
And there, coming up their side Of the aisle
with the plate, WAS a lovely young man with
whom they were slightly acquainted. They
simply couldn't put that solitary cent in the
plate. and to put in nothing was not to be
thought of Then one of the girls bethought
her that she had a small envelope in her
pocket She pulled it out, dropped the coin
in it. sealei it, and when the lovely young
man came along she dropped the envelope in
