So many little things to buy, good causes to help out &c. Y.M.C.A., Foreign Missions, Home Missions. Some fellow will come around with his subscription paper & the following will ensure. "Ball, old fellow, want you to give us something for the Y.M.C.A.[?]" I reply that I haven't go a cent. "Why good gracious that's all right, just put your name down. Got you down for a dollar, Ball." You have got to either sign up, or gently ask him to "tread the last sad road below." So you see how it is.
