The Supply at Saint Agatha's

"The Supply at Saint Agatha's" by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps is a late 1800s story about serving and caring for those in need. It takes place in a fancy church where a pastor is called to lead the Saint Agatha's congregation, but terrible weather prevents him from arriving, and he becomes ill. Then, a substitute preacher shows up, immediately winning over the crowd with moving sermons about helping the forgotten people of society. This impacts the congregation, showing them that helping people and loving each other is what faith is all about. The book focuses on what it means to be truly good and how doing the right thing can really change people's lives and connect them to something bigger.
