MY FAVORITE STORIES By lack Dionne
Age not guaranteed-Some I have told for 2O years-Some less.
Salvation's Free? There are many good colored stories built around the good old adage that "Salvation's Free." Some of them have been related in this column before. One of the best ones concerns the revival meeting that was taking placg and the exhorter had exhorted until the congregation was tired with respoqding, and the germ of religious enthusiasm had sunk deep into many souls. Then the time came for taking up the collection, and the re-
vivalist approached that very important subject directly, and withqut equivocation. He said: "Bredern an' sisterrS de choir will now sing "I'm Glad Salvation's Free." While de choir is singin' dis beautiful hymn, Deacon Skinnem will pass de contribution box. An' please remembah--fslks, dat while salvation undoubtedly am free, we has to pay de choir fer singin' bout it, so donit hol' back Give widout stint an' widout stinginess, from yo'means an' not from yo' meanness."
