Background Scripture:
Exodus 4: 10-17, 27-31; 17: 8-13; 28:
1-4; 32: 1-6; Leviticus 8: 6-12;
Numbers 20:22-29.
Devotional Reading:
Exodus 32: 30-35.
Moses was furious with both his
brother Aaron and the people of
Israel. Up on the mountamtop he
had received from the Lord the
tablets of the Ten Commandments.
But when he returned to the
Israelite encampment at the foot of
the mountain, he found that in his
absence the people were wor
shipping a golden calf they had
made. Could he not leave them for
a few days without them falling
away from God? And his brother—
of all the people he had trusted and
upon whom he had depended—had
helped them do this terrible thing.
You Know the People!
But perhaps Moses was too hard
on Aaron. After all, he had simply
done what the great majority of
people wanted. As their religious
leader nest to Moses himself did
they not have a right to expect that
Aaron would represent their point
of view? “Let not the anger of my
Lord bum hot,” said Aaron to
Moses, "you know the people, that
they are set on evil.” The golden
calf had been the people’s choice.
It would have been an im
pressive argument to make to
Moses: Aaron had only acted

To Reduce Rural Crime
Rural crime has become a sad
fact of life. Most facts and figures
that we read indicate an increase
in rural crime. There arc many
things you can do to “make crime
more trouble than it’s worth.”
That would include installing and
using locks, bringing your
equipment inside, or putting it in a
well lighted area at night. Also, do
not keep loading chutes near gates.
One of the most important things
you can do is to establish “crime
watch” with your neighbors.
You also may be able to borrow
an engravmg tool from your local
police department to mark your
equipment with your driver’s
license number.
To Be Alert For Corn Pests
We are into the season for cut
worm damage on corn, and this
includes the black cutworm. Just a
reminder to keep a close check on
all com fields for the next few
weeks. Damage symptoms will be
plants cut off just above the ground
level. The culprit will be hiding in
the soil a few inches from the cut
plant. We suggest a rescue
treatment if 2-3% of the plants are
cut and you can find more than 5
larvae per 100 plants. Remember
the black cutworm is the one with
the granulated skin. The control
materials listed in the 1983-84
Agronomy Guide include Lorsban
and Sevm or Parathion or Penncap
or Dylox or a new material Per
methrm. Be sure to follow all label
directions.
To Be Aware of Hot Hay
Many farmers may have been
the people. It is an argument that
is still used today when people feel
the expressed views of their
religious leaders do not reflect
their own. It is not unusual today to
find a congregation wanting to be
rid of their pastor because he or
she expresses viewpoints not
shared by the majority of the
congregation
Bishop James Thomas of the
United States Methodist Church
once said; “There are some things
in religion that are not votable."
Revelation from God does not
result from a concensus of those to
whom it is given. Moses brought
the Ten Commandments down
from the mountain, not for a vote
by the people of Israel, but for their
acceptance as obedient servants of
the Lord. Jesus did not ask for a
hand-vote to ratify the Sermon on
the Mount—and it’s just as well he
didn’t!
Whose Priesthood?
If the people had felt brave
enough to stand up to Moses, they
might have told him that their
priest, Aaron, had only done what
they wanted him to do. If they had,
Moses would have told then in no
uncertain words that Aaron was
not their priest. For God had been
very specific; he was consecrated
“for my priesthood.” The people
had not selected Aaron. He was
called by God and the people had
only accepted Aaron as God’s
priest. And so it was to be with all
the priests of Israel and, m fact, all
who are called to be spokespersons
for God.
In the life of a religious group,
democratic rule is greatly to be
desired. There are many aspects of
a congregation’s life that should be
attuned to the will of the majority.
But when a person dares to speak
for God as his spokesperson, he or
she must do so with a full
knowledge and acceptance of the
fact that the message is chosen by
God and not necessarily the
people’s choice.
forced to bale hay at higher-than
usual moisture levels in order to
get the first cutting of hay into the
bam between brief breaks in the
weather. This can result in ex
cessive beating, spoilage, and
possibly a bam fire due to spon
taneous combustion, according to
Glenn Shirk, dairy agent. If you
suspect your hay is hot, check its
temperature. Drive a pipe down
into the hay mow at several
locations, and lower a therometer
into the pipe. Temperatures will
rise to 120° F during normal
sweating, and then drop back. At
150* F, you are entering the danger
zone, and temperatures should be
checked daily. At ISO* F, you are in
the danger zone, and temperatures
should be monitored every 4 hours.
Hot spots or fire pockets may be
anticipated at 175* F; alert your
fire company. At 185° F, start
removing the hay; be careful you
don’t fall into a fire.pocket; have
fire protection and rescue service
standing by.
To Clip Pastures
Mowing permanent pastures at
this time of year is a very good
idea. Many of the plants will be
heading out and some will go to
seed; this means that the plants
should be mowed. This practice
will help control weeds and en
courage new growth of grass.
Livestock will nourish the dry
clippings; this should be done
several times during the pasture
season. In addition, the clipped
pasture area will look much better
to the general public as they travel
through the country.
