Spurgeon's Illustration Collection


A woman who was known to be very poor, came to a missionary meeting in Wakefield, and offered to subscribe a penny a-week to the mission fund, 'Surely,' said one, 'you are too poor to afford this?' She replied, 'I spin so many hanks of yarn a-week for my living, and I'll spin one hank more, and that will be a penny a-week for the society.'
