The Four-Thousand-Dollar Preacher

"They tell of a clergyman in Lynn, Mass., who hired out to a church at a nominal salary of $4,000, agreeing privately to make the church a present of $1,000 of it. A congregation in Connecticut heard of the four-thousand-dollar preacher, thought he must be extra good, offered him $4,500 and got him. Then the Lynn people understood why he pretended his salary was $4,000."—S. F. Bulletin.
