Quoting from the minutes of the Womans Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Thirty-Ninth Annual Report of the Board of Managers for the Year 1919 to 1920: "Mrs. Della Cole Geggie, a former field secretary, presented each lady with a copy of a little story on tithing, written by her. The gift wes received with thanks". This is a signed copy of that "little story". The interior pages are clean and solidly bound. The covers are quite soiled with chipping of the yapped edges, a closed tear in the front cover at the tail edge and some peeling of the top layer of the cover at the lower spine. There is also staining / soiling, a faint tide mark and some spotting on the front fore edge margin. The covers are beginning to pull away from the topmost spine staple. All in all, a quite rare little item from a time when the churches were trying to fill the void left by the Great War. ; Signed by Author .
