>>The 57 Cents That Made History
>>
>>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 kind-hearted 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. But the story
>>does not end there!
>>
>>A newspaper learned of the story and published it. It was read by a
>>realtor who offered them a parcel of land worth many thousands. When told
>>that the church could not pay so much, he offered it for a 57 cent
>>payment.
>>
>>Church members made large subscriptions. 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 Temple University, where hundreds of
>>students are trained. Have a look, too, at the Good Samaritan Hospital and
>>at a Sunday School building which houses hundreds of Sunday scholars, so
>>that no child in the area will ever need to be left outside at 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."
>>
>>A true story.
