Sacrifice: A TRUE INDICTMENT
A man once said to Sam Jones, "Jones, the church is putting my assessment too high." Jones asked, "How
much do you pay?" "Five dollars a year," was the reply. "Well," said Jones, "how long have you
been converted?" "About four years," was the answer. "Well, what did you do before you were converted?"
"I was a drunkard." "How much did you spend for drink?" "About $250.00 a year." "How much
were you worth?" "I rented land and plowed with a steer." "What have you got now?" "I have a
good plantation and a span of horses." "Well," said Sam Jones, "you paid the devil $250.00 a year for
the privilege of plowing with a steer on rented land, and now you don't want to give the God who saved you five dollars a
year for the privilege of plowing with horses on your own plantation. You are a rascal from the crown of your head to the
soles of your feet."
