第一章 A Church Built with 57 Cents
· Anonymous·
A sobbing 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 touched that 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 and the 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 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.
