Rev. Bonnell preached at Aumsville
Sunday, a good sermon both morning
and evening. We think the reverend
gentleman is doing very wrong. He
teaches us to submit TO the will of God
and then makes it impossible Tor US to
do it. He is about to leave this charge
for broader field of work and con-
tinue to preach good sermons and ex-
poets us to be resigned. II he would
preach some poor sermons it would
help us to be more resigned and to say
Lord thy will be DONE"
Does 1t injure straw berries to burn
them off q? Last year we had two acres
that were very weedy. We moved
the weeds and burnt them on the
ground. 1t left the ground in good
shape and was great success as Il help
in cultivation. In the spring the vines
looked rank and thick, a much better
stand than there was the year before.
1t made the work lighter all through
the season. The picking of the two
them to market was an easy job. We
would advise all to follow this plan, it
will greatly increase the pric OF straw
berries.
