What Has Become of the Money?

New York, 1895

The members of the Zion A. M. E. Church of Glen Cove, during the past fall and winter, raised $200 with which to complete the parsonage. The money is said to have been given to the pastor, the Rev. Mr. Ross, for safe keeping. At a recent meeting of deacons and elders, a call was made for a report upon the parsonage fund, and a document was produced which stated that the money had been turned over to the pastor. That gentleman astonished his parishioners by declaring that he did not have the money.
