Where the Money Has Gone

Where the Money Has Gone

New York, 1895

Rev. Augustus Ross, pastor of the A. M. E. Church at Glen Cove, who was called before the elders to account for the disappearance of $200 confided to his care, has announced that the money was used in paying the running expenses of the church.

The money was raised by the women of the congregation to help erect a parsonage. The women are angry because the money has been spent. Mr. Ross says the money was spent at the direction of the church trustees.
