WHY Is 1t that those people who are
well able % give dime, a quarter, or
even dollar, every time they attend
church, invariably drop only a penny
into the plate when IL is passed around9
1t is well that there is no piece of
money smaller than pennies, else we
would see mills take their place on the
church plate. There is not any reason
why a dime, or a nickle at least, should
be the contribution of those in mOder.
ate circumstances. OF course there are
some who are too poor TO give more
than penny, and to those we do not
refer, but those who are we'll able to
give q dollar ought to be ashamed of
themselves when they drop a penny
into basket. Let those who attend
divine worship in any one Of the
churches Of this town think the matter
over, and they will readily see how
small they really are. You do not
hesitate to pay half dollar to be en-
tertained at an average show, and vet
you expect to be instructed as well as
entertained by your minister for a
penny. Give your nickles and dimes
and dollars in the future and help to
pay the necessary expenses in spread
ing the gospel IN y0nr midst, and your
reward will come in due time,-Mlford
