In a Western town a single deacon, convinced the minister earned too little, overreacts to the pastor’s modest four hundred fifty dollar salary with wood allowance.

A collection of short moral vignettes shows people using simple, practical acts to fund missions. A boy grows cucumbers for pickles to aid missions, a youth plants potatoes yielding a peck then seven and a half bushels for a donation, a Pennsylvania woman’s missionary hen contributes yearly, a man dedicates a gooseberry bush, and a poor Black sister turns her chickens into missionary eggs and pullets by tying red flannel to a chicken leg, declaring it a missionary, and urging action.
