MRS. JENNINGS had been just managing to
keep her family going. But things were look.
ing brighter at last. Now with the children
able to help with the housework, she had
applied for the post of school teacher :
and had been accepted.
But that meant she needed suitable clothes
and clothes cost money.
She took her problem to the manager of
her bank. On the strength of her ability and
character, he arranged a loan of $80. And so
it was that she was able to take the position
and greet her first class proudly. She paid.
off the ioan:'after• six months at. a cost in
interest of only $2.40.

This is a true story. Only .the name „has

has been privileged to play a .helping ;role.
