An Offertory cover which gave birth to Brotherhoodness.

A cover was issued from a church to the Sunday school students for contributing some money as part of the annual collection of money which funds the working of the Sunday School. So this took place at a place where the people of two churches were fighting with each other over some issues related to faith. The kid was given the money by her mother to deposit in the offertory. The money was placed in the cover on which her name and address was written. Having placed the money in the cover, she was told by her mother to deposit the same. But, the girl accidentally forgot to deposit the same in the offertory of her church. Instead it was on her way to home that she realised that she forgot to deposit the money. By that time, she was just passing the next church, whose members were in fight with her church. As she was only told by her mother to deposit the money in the offertory, she went into that church and deposited the money there and she moved on. The next day when the church officials opened the vaults, they noticed this cover with the name of the rival church. This cover was handed over to the Vicar of the church. When he saw the cover, the priest realised the message delivered to him from the Lord. He took the cover to the Vicar of the next church. Both of them hugged each other and a new chapter of brotherhood started from then on.
