HEAVENLY REWARDS

'Two men owned farms side by side. One was a bitter atheist, the other a devout Christian. Constantly annoyed at the Christian for his trust in God, the atheist said to him one winter, "Let's plant our crops as usual this spring, each the same number of acres. You pray to your God, and I'll curse him. Then come October, let's see who has the bigger crop."
When October came the atheist was delighted because his crop was larger. "See, you fool," he taunted, "what you you have to say for your God now?"
"My God," repiled the other farmer, "doesn't settle all his accounts in October."'
