has not left us in doubt in regard to

second sermon rings out with the

the mind of the Lord, before the be-

church is not to administer to human
wants; it's specific duties are divine.
So depnite is the place of this model
church that the names of it's charter
members are given. Christ gives to
this church of twelve the commission
to go, to disciple, to evangelize and
to train, vision of church with
mission. If we took the position or
some of our brethren that the church
was organized on the day of Pente-

REMEDY FOR PLANT
LICE ON GREEN.

Turnips, mustard and radishes
grown in Louisiana during the fall
months are often severely injured by
a small, light green, soft-bodied
sucking insect-an aphid, or plant
louse-that is found principally on
the underside of the leaves.
These aphids may be kept under
control by spraying with a mixture
OF one teaspoonful of nicotine sui.
plate and an inch cube of laundry
soap in gallon of water, the soap
being first dissolved in portion of
the water. A spray pump that will
force the liquid out Of the nozzle as a
fine spray or mist must be used, and
the aphids must be wet with the
spray in order to kill them. The noz-
zle should be SO attached to the spray
rod as to form a right angle at that
point. With this device the spray
can be better applied to the under
surface Of the leaves. Begin spray,
ing when the aphids first attack the
plants.
To facilitate spraying the seed
should be planted in drills or rows
not broadcast. It is also much easier
to reach the aphids on plants having
smooth leaves.-Department of Ento-
