The Church-Fair Plan

“AND now, brethren, let us get up a supper and eat ourselves rich,” said a witty Presbyterian elder, in keen satire on the church-fair plan, when his church was proposing indirect methods of raising money for new and necessary expenditures. “Buy your food,” he said, “then give it to the church. Then go buy it back again. Then eat it up, and your church debt is paid.”—Sunday School Times.
