- Cover title.
With a wood-engraved vignette on front cover.
Series title transposed from head of title page.
The title story contrasts the actions of a wealthy white man, who supports the church through alms, with the actions of Betty, a poor and blind Black woman, who supports the church through prayer. The tone of the story is paternalistic; Betty's dialogue is written in the manner of racist stereotypes.
