Settlement in Full
Posted by Staff on Feb 09, 2009
A farmer once wrote to an editor:
”Dear Sir:
I have been trying an experiment. I have a field of corn which I ploughed on Sunday. I planted it on Sunday.
I cut and hauled it to the barn on Sunday. And I find that I have more corn to the acre than has been gathered by any of my neighbors this October.”
The former sent his letter, sure that the editor could have no answer to the sneer implied in it.
But imagine his feelings when in the next issue of the paper he read his own letter in print, and at the end of it this one sentence:
”God does not make full settlement in October.”
