The church was in a very bad state of repair and all sorts of fundraising ideas were being considered.
It was decided that some of the wealthy business people could be approached and on this morning, the vicar was escorting a local millionaire around the church to see for himself the critical state it was in.
As the vicar pointed out the cracks in the stonework over the front porch, a piece of masonry fell off and hit the millionaire on the head.
Rubbing his head gingerly, the man said, “I see what you mean, Vicar.” He then proceeded to write in a check for $20.
As they were leaving, the vicar looked up towards the sky and shouted, “Go on, Lord, hit him again."
