FEW CHURCHES DIE THAT WAY
Colored Preacher Unlikely to Be
Called Upon to Fulfill Vow That
He Had Made.

The following story comes to us
from old Virginia:
A devout colored preacher, whose
heart was aglow with missionary zeal,
gave notice to his congregation that
in the evening an otfertory would be
taken for missions and asked for lib
eral gifts. A selfish, well-to-do man
in the congregation said to him be-
fore the service: Yer gwine to Kill
dis church eff yer goes on sayin' 'give!'
No church can stan it. Yer gwine
ter kill it."
After the sermon the colored minis
ter said to the people: Brother
Jones told me l was gwine to kill
this church if l KEEP a-askin' fer 20
give; but, my brethren, churches
doesn't die dat way. Eff anybody
knows of a church that died cause it's
bean givin' too much to de Lord, I'll
be very much obliged eff my brother
will tel me what church is, for Use
gwine to visit it, and I'll climb on de
walls of dat church. under de light
of de moon and cry: Blessed am de
dead dat die in de Lord. '"-Cleveland
