The New Jersey Pastor Knew just
When TO Urge His Appeal
for Funds.

Former Secretary McAdoo told at
a Washington luncheon loan story.

the rich old deacon. who hadn't sub
scribed to the loan hitherto on the
ground that he could get a better
rate Of interest elsewhere.

him a pretty hard blow on the head.

scared, awed look.
"'I mean $780,. he said.
