They Paid for Age.

An ingenious and a simple scheme for
raising money was recently tried in a
Southern parish by those who were en-
deavoring TO wipe out small debt upon
their church. Little bags were given out
among the members of the congregation
in question. These people each put
into the bag a penny for every yeas they
had lived and they were all handed in
together. There was no way Of findinL
out who owned which number OF p, n.

about the matter, and of course " many
cases there was such a wish, 80 that the
idea worked admirably.
