• One of my favorite illustrations: When I was Deacon in the West Illinois Church in Dallas before surrendering to preach one of the elder ladies died and the Sunday after her sermon her envelop appeared in the plate with her last fifty dollars and five dimes which she had prepared as a tithe a few days prior to her death. I wonder how many people that will be true for when the die their last offering will appear in the place with their tithe??
