There Were Quails In Those Days

There Were Quails in Those Days. 

  And there went forth a wind from the Lord, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side; and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth. - Num. 11:81.

   Taking the writer of this verse at his word we have a solid mass of quails at least three feet in depth and extending thirty-three miles (a day's journey) in every direction from the camp. In other words, making a circle having a diameter of sixty-six miles, a circumference of over two hundred and seven. If figures don't lie, this little shower of meat would make a solid wall one hundred feet thick and over twenty-six hundred feet high, reaching from Port Huron to Grand Haven, Mich. It would make a wall twenty feet thick and one hundred and twenty-six feet high entirely around the globe.

   It would make a bologna over 50 feet in circumference reaching from the earth to the moon. The reader can season this sausage to suit the taste, and as smoking adds to the flavor, our advice would be put it in your pipe, and if an advocate of brimstone a little of that may be added.
