AlO-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 1,1986 NOW IS THE TIME To Apply Manure This is the season of the year that a lot of manure is applied in preparation for corn planting We need to be concerned with proper application of liquid and solid manure in such a way as to minimize odors and avoid pollution complaints Applications should be made from mid-morning to mid afternoon to allow maximum odor dispersion and manure drying before the calm, nighttime hours when neighbors are home from work. Fields for disposal should be downwind, rather than upwind from neighbors. Whenever possible the manure should be plowed or disked into the soil as soon as possible after spreading This practice not only minimizes odors but also preserve nutrients and reduces potential for surface run-off that causes water pollution To Attend Poultry Progress Day The Annual Poultry Progress Day will be held Thursday, March 6, in the Farm and Home Center, Registration will start at 8:30 in the morning and the program will end at 3 p.m. Lunch will be available.

Devotional Reading; 2 Corinthians 5 1-9 In November of last year, 700 people attended a standing-room only symposium on “Con sciousness and Survival,” an exploration of life after physical death. What made this symposium so significant was that it was held in Washington, D.C. on the campus of Georgetown University and included in its sponsorship and program a number of prominent figures in political life, religion and science One of the symposium organizers, Sen Claihprne Pell of Rhode Island, was commended for his participation by the Senate minority leader. Sen Robert Byrd, and the Washington Post account of the meeting was voted hv the Senate for inclusion in the Congressional Record IMPERISHABLE Although the symposium members did not attempt to arrive at any kind of consensus on the subject, the fact that so many people from so many different walks of life came together to discuss the subject indicates that there is a spiritual quest and current in our world that perhaps we tend to underestimate and overlook. This is an era in which millions of people are searching for a hope that does not wither and decay as our social, economic and political institutions and structures Convention, Hershey Con vention Center; continues through March 9.

People are seeking a living hope. It is this timeless concern to which the first Epistle of Peter was addressed. Writing to the Christians in northern Asia Minor who were either facing or un dergoing severe persecution, the writer of 1 Peter brought to these people a message of en couragement and hope in the midst of an ominous situation: “By his great mercy we have been born anew to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and to an inheritance which is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading...” (1:3,4). And precisely what is the nature of that imperishable hope he proclaimed? Note that he did not promise that the persecution would soon be over. Nor did he suggest that they would be spared from having to suffer as Christians for their faith. So what kind of hope is that? What kind of confidence can that bring us? FAITH’S OUTCOME Actually, the very best of all hopes; “As the outcome of your faith you obtain the salvation of your souls” (1:9). These bodies of ours cannot be sustained forever. The lives we live, no matter how we cling to them, will flicker out sooner or later. The things we build will crumble and turn to dust. We are not saved from the fact of death, but from the consequence of it. Although our bodies perish, if our souls are saved by a loving God, then nothing in the world can take away from us the inheritance that God has prepared for us in his other world. It may be, as Peter writes, that “now for a little while you may have to suffer various trials,” but in time we will be “bom anew, not of perishable seed, but of im perishable...” (1:23).
