postman


A postman, on his route, picked up a letter from a mailbox that was addressed to GOD.

The postman, seeing that the letter was not sealed, and there being no postage on it, opened and read it.

It was from a man who was down on his luck, and was asking God for help.

The letter asked for $50 to get his family through the next week.

The postman, being a Mason, took the letter to Lodge that evening, read it, and asked for donations for the unfortunate fellow.

The Masons, wanting to help, took up a collection, and received twenty five dollars from the brethren.

The Secretary placed the cash in a Lodge envelope, and gave it to the postman to deliver the following day, which he did.

Another day passed, and the postman again found an unsealed letter in the mailbox addressed to GOD.

Again he opened and read the letter, which thanked God for the money, but instructed him to send any future funds through the Knights of Columbus, as the Masons had kept half.
