"A small Illinois church was sadly
in need of repairs and a meeting was
held with a view to raising funds for
the purpose. The minister having
said that $500 would be needed, very
wealthy and stingy member arose
and said he would give 81. Just as
he sat down large piece of plaster
fell from the ceiling and struck him
on his head, whereupon he jumped ur
hastily and said that he made mis-
take-that he would give $50. This
was too much for an enthusiastic dea
con present, who, forgerrul of every
thing, called out fervently, 30, Lord
hit him again! Hit him again!"

are the result of doing the right thing
