now agitates that church is: Shalli
give up the money received from that
man? In good conscience we say:
Yes. The money was stolen money
and should be returned to it's right

Instance of woman in Virginia who
gave all she had to the church. But
by that act she placed herself in pow

cannot see the justice of receiving all
that a person possesses when that
person thereby becomes an object of
