The crumbling, old church building needed remodeling, so
the preacher made an impassioned appeal, looking directly
at the richest man in town. At the end of the message, the
rich man stood up and announced, "Pastor, I will contribute
$1,000."
Just then, plaster fell from the ceiling and struck the rich
man on the shoulder. He promptly stood again and shouted,
"Pastor, I will increase my donation to $5,000."
Before he could sit back down, plaster fell on him again, and
again he screamed, "Pastor, I will double my last
pledge."
He sat down, and an larger chunk of plaster fell hitting him
on the head. He stood once more and hollered, "Pastor, I will
give $20,000!"
This prompted a deacon to shout, "Hit him again, Lord! Hit
him again!"
