CHURCH CONTRIBUTIONS NOW
No One Thinks Of Putting Less Than
Five Cents In the Plate Now
Day Of the Penny Gone.

Everything has gone up" said Mr..
Graytop. everything. You take, for
instance. church contributions, the
money that we put in when the plate
is passed around.
Nowadays the minimum, the small
est amount that we could put In or
that we'd want TO put in would be
five cents. a nickel. wouldn't IL?
Surely; no matter who IL was, nobody
would think OF putting in less than a
nickel now; but in my younger days.
before the war. the standard contri-
button OF the run OF respectable per-
sons OF moderate means was one cent,
a penny; and the contribution plate
was commonly called the penny plate.
I'm those days, just the same as
now. the plates were passed by dea-
cons or other officers OF the church.
one to each aisle. OF course we had
then, just as we do now, some in the
church who had more money than 9TH
ers and these would put in more, a
half-dime OF a dime or a quarter or
a half-dollar, and sometimes some
body would put in a bill, but silver
coins were not over numerous and
bills were rare.
Our folks were not rich, as a mat
ter OF fact we had no money except
what my father earned, but though
we were not rich we were self-respect-
ing, God-fearing people and we always
went to church and the children went
TO Sunday school. We had in our
church quite a number of people com
fortably we'll off and two or three who
were in those days called rich, but
there were more people like us.
"Of course we contributed some
thing more than pennies to the sup.
port OF the church, we paid our pew
rent at the fixed price and OCCASION
ally there were special calls when we
contributed more, whatever we could
afford or thought we ought to give,
but our standard, regular contrlbu-
tons on Sundays were in pennies. We
children took each a penny 10 Sun
day school. When the plate was
passed In church we put pennies In
that.
AS we grew older our father would
give more than one OF us pennies to
put in the plate and then there was
a larger contribution from our pew,
but still In those days our church con
tribution, as ! am trying to set forth.
was In pennies"
