Later in the season the stored hay or silage will continue to be useful when growth slows down due to dry weather and high temperatures. To Read The Label I am sure you have heard this suggestion before, however, it is still very important to all farmers and gardeners. Every pesticide carries a label with directions; this should be read and followed during the applica tion of the material. Don’t make the mistake of applying the mater ial in error. The labels are required by law and should be respected by the user. Serious losses may occur if the directions are not followed. Mater ials should always be kept in their original container and stored in a separate place under padlock. to new congregational and person al levels of faith. As never before the members of this church have felt a need for worship, prayer and congregational sharing. This has given new meaning to Hebrews’ admonition: “... not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another ...” (10:25). We have also come to an enhanced understanding of faith. As a congregation we had been liv ing pretty much by “sight,” rather than by “faith.” Ours was a strong (one of the strongest in Method ism) and growing church and we took satisfaction in what we could see of our prosperity. During the past twelve months, however, we have come to a fresh experience of the definition of faith which we find in Hebrews: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen” (11:1). Thus, we have learned once again what it means to live by “faith,” instead of “sight.” THINGS NOT SEEN What that faith means, as Hebrews 11 illustrates, is not an assurance that we will be spared pain, suffering or misfortune, but that regardless of what comes, God will be with us to ease the pain, make bearable the suffering, and help us survive the misfortune. It means doing in faith what we can and must do, leaving the end result to God. It means living confident ly, even though the circumstances around us do not inspire confidence. This was the kind of faith by which so many of the patriarchs lived: Enoch, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses and many more. This was not an easy “just believe” kind of faith. Much more than believing in something, this was a matter of trusting Some one and living by the power of that trust. That’s really what the church is meant to be, a mutual-stirring soci ety that encourages the kind of faith resulting in love and good works. My prayer is that you may be similarly “stirred-up.” (Bued on copyrighted Outlines produced by the Cant auttee an the Uniform Senes ind used by permission Releued by Community ft Suburban Press) I3OT IM STILL VERY ACTIVE IN THE CONSUMER PART OF IT-
