In an address before the Minnesota
Wed nesday, H. A. Server, president of
St. Anthony Falls bank, gave an inter-
esting story Of how Rev. Clement G..
Clark, pastor of the First Congrega-
tional church, Minneapolis, got the rec
ord away from his father for milking
cows, and how, later by telling the
story in the pulpit Mr.. Clark inspired
his parish, to raise funds to wipe out
heavy church debt. -. ....; f.
eve called a new pastor to our
to the coming of Mr.. Clark 70 the First
Congregational church. "He found a
splendid church edifce without incum-
brance, congregation Of pretty we'll
TODD people, but there was lack of
team work. Every one was very careful
not to exceed the other in giving, and
there was a deficiency in expenses at
the end Of the year. This seemed to
our pastor unbearable. Somebody
finances. but he said: -,
am the pastor of the whole
is the place which appeals to me. If YOU
ask me to put the finances in good
shape I feel shat can 10 it. - . :.
"There- was $4,000 needed for ex-
penses, $4,000 for benevolence. He
called upon fifteen Of those best able
/ to give, and by the very force of his
manhood he compelled them to double
and treble their gifts until they prom
Used $4,000, AMI the rest Of the church
made up the balance. There was no one
else in our church who could have done
the work. It was the victory Of a
strong man who felt that he could
do IT,. it; ~, =
how we had prepared for the coming
year, but how about the deficiency. Of
the past years Of course there were
plenty Of our people who said, I'VE will
carry the de BIT along and pay it at a
more convenient season. But our pas
tor, said. you have done we'll, but the
victory lies before you ~, :
-, "Then he told us this story, almost
like an Abe Lincoln story. He said:
when l was boy on a farm-on a
Kansas farm-my father held the rec
ord for milking. He had MIXED forty
cows at one round. One day I wrested
the victory from him. It was Fourth
of July. All the people went in town
TO- the celebration and was left to do
the work. l had to make the cheese
and 90 all the other farm work. I
dldn't start for the cows until about
dusk, and MIXED, and MIXED and
finally, somewhere about midnight. I
had MIXED forty cows. And then, oh
JOY, L MIXED ten more, and the vic
tory was mine! held the record.
| II tell you, gentlemen, after wa
heard that story we just went right
down in our pockets and paid the rest
of that debt Nv
