girl whose father was out of work and drinking up any money we got. I told him we were completely broke and facing financial ruin. He sent back a letter asking me to sow a seed of faith by donating money with boxes to check for $20, $50, or fill in the blank, etc.

I was just messing with him (or them, perhaps) but I wonder how many people that caused to send all their money out of guilt.
