Subject: 57 Cents
A little girl stood near a small church from which she had been turned
away
because it was "too crowded."
"I can't go to Sunday School," she sobbed to the pastor as he
walked by.

Seeing her shabby, unkempt appearance, the pastor guessed the reason and,
taking her by the hand, took her inside and found a place for her in the
Sunday school class. The child was so happy that they found room for her,
and she went to bed that
night thinking of the children who have no place to
worship Jesus

Some two years later, this child lay dead in one of the poor tenement
buildings. Her parents called for the kindhearted pastor who had
befriended
their daughter to handle the final arrangements.

As her poor little body was being moved, a worn and crumpled red purse
was
found which seemed to have been rummaged from some trash dump.

Inside was found 57 cents and a note, scribbled in childish handwriting,
which read: "This is to help build the little church bigger so more
children
can go to Sunday School."

For two years she had saved for this offering of love

When the pastor tearfully read that note, he knew instantly what he would
do. Carrying this note and the cracked, red pocketbook to the pulpit, he
told the story of her unselfish love and devotion

He challenged his deacons to get busy and raise enough money for the
larger
building.

But the story does not end there...

A newspaper learned of the story and published It. It was read by a
wealthy
realtor who offered them a parcel of land worth many thousands.

When told that the church could not pay so much, he offered to sell it
to
the little church for 57 cents.

Church members made large donations Checks came from far and wide.
Within five years the little girl's gift had increased to $250,000.00--a
huge sum for that time (near the turn of the century). Her unselfish love
had paid large dividends

When you are in the city of Philadelphia, look up Temple Baptist Church,
with a seating capacity of 3,300. And be sure to visit Temple University,
where thousands of students are educated.

Have a look, too, at the Good Samaritan Hospital and at a Sunday School
building which houses
hundreds of beautiful children, built so that no child
in the area will ever need to be left outside during Sunday school time.

In one of the rooms of this building may be seen the picture of the sweet
face of the little girl whose 57 cents, so sacrificially saved, made such
remarkable history. Alongside of it is a portrait of her kind pastor, Dr.
Russell H. Conwell, author of the book, "Acres of Diamonds".

This is a true story, which goes to show WHAT GOD CAN DO WITH 57 CENTS.

One winter morning, an employee explained why he had shown up for work 45
minutes late. "It was so slippery out that for every step I took ahead, I
slipped back two."
The boss eyed him suspiciously. "Oh, yeah? Then how you ever get here?"

"I finally gave up," he said, "and started for home."

In my day, we didn't have fancy health-food restaurants. Every day we ate lots of easily recognizable animal parts, along with potatoes drenched in melted fat from those animals. And we're all as strong as AAGGKK-GAAK Urrgh. Thud.

Who won? I like them kind of shouting matches! Gets your blood pressure high! Gives you a ping in the head! And to top it all off mostly nobody wins! You each have your own opinions and nobody changes! Might even give you an ulcer! Make your stomach feel like you ate too many Christmas candies or cookies! Wow, on second thought, I don't like them kind of shouting matches after all!
