Emphasis Preaching Journal

A man who couldn't accept charity paid back a debt no one expected him to pay and that wasn't owed in the first place. His check of $14,437.50 was sent to the Sutter County Welfare Department in California, because of eleven months of free tuberculosis treatment he received in 1950-51. The sanitarium closed twenty years ago and he was not expected to pay it, but he said, "The county paid my bill back then, and it always bothered me to have accepted the charity."
