word of God , and pappy your bible must say the same thing, and here 
you two are both claiming to know the way of God, and both are breaking 
the commandment of God arguing over the truth, I have listen to you two 
argue since I was big enough to hoe corn, and it's high time this 
stopped between the two of you, 

Now you both claim you want to be a good influence on me , and I do
believe you really do, well to start with do to that would you please 
listen to me and listen to good reason, now here is the reasons to come 
together and be as one as the lord would have married folks, I love the 
both of you the same and that is the way the lord is about you and 
pappy he love the both of you , can't you see that I said” Now if you 
two have any faith at all in God you'll listen to me and come together 
as one, and then we can hoe corn in peace and harmony , and by the way 
I have read some on the Bible and I know that God does look on the 
heart, what God wants to see in hearts is pity and mercy and goodness 
and certainly not division , now you all should take what I have told 
you and apply it to your life and hearts Now paw lay down that hoe and 
come and hug Mammy and mammy you do the same, and stop all this 
foulness , you both need go to each other church dividing the Sundays 
and that will please God to see you all , it don't mean that you have 
given the church of  your choice up , it will cause folks to see you 
all joined as one like your suppose to be as married folks, 

After these words I spoke to them, paw laid his hoe down and mammy laid
hers down and they meet in the middle of a corn row and embraced' my 
word has hit home in both their hearts, and it please me so to witness 
this, I love them both the same, and sometimes a man just has to speak 
his peace, 

After they embraced paw said son I am proud of you for what you spoke to
us, we both needed someone to correct us and you made us see our 
problem, and I promise you this never again will you hoe corn with us 
and hear is argue about our church , what you have said makes more 
sense that all the arguing we have had in the past,  what is mean is 
this that God wants men and woman everywhere to get along and accept 
one another's   differences , I think son that you preached us the best 
message we both ever heard and done it on this old hot corn fields  , 
mammy come and hugged me and said son thanks for straighten your paw 
and I out , 

We hoe corn again on another day and not a word or augment was ever  
started against them ever again, on Sunday paw attended the little 
goose holiness church with maw and the next Sunday to come Mammy 
attends the little good hard shell Baptist church. Its' sure good to 
hoe corn with my folks now and enjoy the sweetness of quiet between 
them, and the words of my beloved departed grandma come to my mind , 
the lord does work in mysterious ways.... THE END
