      Mrs. Zelma Neal was not expecting to go to church and come 
home richer. She had been in such a rush to get to her Sunday school 
class at Rantoul, Illinois' First Methodist Church that she even left her 
Bible at home. So, she ducked into the church library and borrowed a 
new Bible. As she walked down the hall, she removed the plastic 
wrapper.
      Sitting down in class, she quickly turned to the lesson text, the 
ninth chapter of Daniel Ð a grim passage about God's wrath when His 
people are unfaithful. Suddenly, $600 fell out from between the 
pages. "I squealed," she told the Associated Press. "At first I thought it 
was play money. But then it dawned, that's real money!"
      Considering the solemn warnings in the lesson text, the 
unexpected blessing was almost ironic -- except that the passage does 
carry the theme found elsewhere that God will shelter and provide for 
His failful even in terrible times of national judgment. 
      Mrs. Neal says she has donated the six, new, crisp $100 bills to the 
church's Renovation Fund. "We see it as a gift from God," she said.
