Remits Dime After 7 Years

1920

Conscience Prompts Man to Pay Debt He Couldn't Forget

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Elmer Green of Mitchell, has sent Walter Simmons, Louisville hardware dealer, 10 cents which he owed for seven years on a baseball glove.

"I owe you 10 cents on a baseball mitt I bought seven years ago," Green writes, "so I hope you will forgive me and let me know if you will accept the dime. The Lord has saved me, and I have had no peace because I haven't paid you. I want to make everything right so I won't have to come up short at the judgment bar of God."
