II the money OF this town was ia the

bailt. Two widow ladies', now In mind,
illustrate this. Each gave $500, and both
are as enthusiastic as is our friend
McGrcw. These widows did not tell the
plead a complication OF finances; they did
not say what they owed or who owed
them; they did not say: "Ill give only
this much because Mr.. SO and So, who is
rich, only gave q small amount" They
welcomed the committee, took the book
and, in q beautiful, feminine way, wrote
out their notes for a great big sum. God
bless the women; they will save this
