57 Cents!

Many years ago I heard the following story told by the late great Paul Harvey
on one of his "The Rest Of The Story" broadcasts which I always tuned
in every day at noon to hear and enjoy this great man of faith,
one of America's greatest citizens and the greatest of
all voices ever heard in public
broadcasting!
Recently I received it in an e-mail from Brother T. Jae Christian and I thought
our ministers and visitors would like to read it ,then act upon what
it teaches for the real work of the cross and be blessed
for planting seed into the storehouse of God in
this beloved ministry so that others might
be fed, saved and blessed because
you gave!

PAUL HARVEY

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 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.
Russel H. Conwell, author of the book, "Acres of Diamonds".
