A pastor concluded that his church was getting into very serious financial

>>>> $10 each to raise the desperately needed money for the church.
>>>> Jack, Paul and Louie all raised their hands to volunteer for the task.
>>>> The minister knew that Jack and Paul earned their living as salesmen and
>> were likely capable of selling some bibles.
>>>> But he had serious doubts about Louie who was a local farmer, who had
