object of the meeting:
This neat little apron is sent to you,
And this is what we want you to do:
The little pocket you plainly see
For a special purpose is meant to be.
Now measure your waist line, inch by
inch,
And see that the measure does not
pinch,
For each small inch you measure
round
In the pocket put penny sound.
The game is fair, you will admit,
You waist" the money, we pocket it;
While the money your pockets so
freely pay
For the parsonage fund will put it
