Religion: Mile of Dimes

In money-raising, 1¢ worth of publicity equals $1 worth of donations. The Protestant Episcopal Church of the Epiphany in Providence, R. I. was getting publicity last week by “laying a mile of dimes.” To raise money for a new altar and reredos, every parishioner pledged at least 17 dimes, representing one foot (a dime is 11/16 in. in diameter). Should the full mile of dimes be obtained, Providence’s Church of the Epiphany would get $8,976.
