THE ACCEPTABLE MITES.

ANDERSONVILLE, GA.--"Please find inclosed $2.31, which is a contribution

from our church toward paying the debt of the American Missionary

Association. It is very little, but more than I supposed the people would

raise, there is so little money in the place."

GREENWOOD, S. C.--"It is a great pleasure to me to hand you herewith bank

draft for $11, which is the amount of our collection for the Lincoln

Memorial Day. I have delayed the remitting of this amount somewhat to give

others an opportunity who wished to contribute, but were not quite ready.

The amount is not large, but it is from the people and expresses in a

measure their interest in the work of the American Missionary Association.

The collection represents offerings of the young and old from a cent to a

dollar. What was done was done with a free heart."
