HOW NANNIE GAVE.

NANNIE had a bright silver dollar given to her. She asked her father to change it into dimes.
“What is that for, dear?” he asked.
“So that I can get the Lord’s part out of it.”
When she got it into smaller coins, she laid out one of the ten. “There,” she said, “I will keep that until Sunday.” When Sunday came, she went to the offering-box in the church vestibule and dropped in two dimes.
“Why,” said her father, as he heard the last one jingle in, “I thought you gave one tenth to the Lord?”
“I said one tenth belongs to Him, and I cannot give Him what is His own. So, if I give Him anything, I have to give Him what is mine.”
