a new church would do! So I took the ax that I had brought with me and began chopping the place down. In a little while a man, not one of the church members, came along, and he watched me for a time and said, ‘What are you going to do there?’ “And I instantly replied, ‘Tear down this old building and build a new church here!’ “He looked at me. ‘But the people won’t do that,’ he said. “‘Yes, they will,’ I said, cheerfully, keeping at my work. Whereupon he watched me a few minutes longer and said: “‘Well, you can put me down for one hundred dollars for the new building. Come up to my livery-stable and get it this evening.’ “‘All right; I’ll surely be there,’ I replied. “In a little while another man came along and stopped and looked, and he rather gibed at the idea of a new church, and when I told him of the livery-stable man contributing one hundred dollars, he said, ‘But you haven’t got the money yet!’ “‘No,’ I said; ‘but I am going to get it to-night.’ “‘You’ll never get it,’ he said.
