Soliciting Donations

A big, burly man visited the pastor's home and asked to see
the minister's wife, a woman well known for her charitable
impulses.

"Madam," he said in a broken voice, "I wish to draw your
attention to the terrible plight of a poor family in this
district. The father is dead, the mother is too ill to work,
and the nine children are starving. They are about to be
turned into the cold, empty streets unless someone pays their
rent, which amounts to $400."

"How terrible!" exclaimed the preacher's wife. "May I ask
who you are?"

They sympathetic visitor applied his handkerchief to his
eyes. "I'm the landlord," he sobbed.
