To do the viii of God is to sub
nit to Gods way and this goes
against the grain of people of to-
day who want TO proclaim their
freedom from any outside authori-
ty In the church people do not
want to submit many times, for
they would rather have the church
affairs run to suit themselves and
their many times picayune pet
ideas. than to set out in the Word
of God an ideal for their church.
To do the will of God demands
absolute obedience. and men, just

absolute obedience i'm a big way.
At any rate. these words of our
Lord should remind us that we
must never presume our saliva

filiation to first of all find what
the will of God is, then submit TO
it by not only letting words about
our faith pour forth like mighty
stream. for this is not enough. but
TO make of our bodies living testi-

Lord and Master, so that people
who know us will first of all know

Pump Operation Brings Rain

Some people even suggested
we ought to send out a bill.

pie, I think Wen just take the
credit for bringing on the big
rain of July ~ and 28.
I think we will have to d.
vide the credit equally between
Louis Promos, Bill Mccain and
myself. It was Louis who had
the pump. I carried it down to
the pond, and Bill got 1t to
pump water.
And, sure enough, 1t began to
rain and lower Loudoun got
drenched with almost an inch
Of water.
It all started because Louis
dropped in to tell us about how
fine his Ambrosia melons are
growing this year.
He walked out to take a look
at our garden, and commented
that 1t was pretty dry-some-
thing we already knew.
IT don't see why you sit here
and let your garden dry up
said Louis. Look at all of that
water down in the pond. I'd
pump some of it to the garden
Won't hurt the pond"
Then Louis happened to re-
member that he had an ole
shallow well pump he wasn't
using. Come up and get it,
he said.
We did. We worked fol
awhile next morning trying tc
get it to work, then we called
Bill Mccain. Bill came over.

and water was pouring out
over the garden.
We tried a couple types OIL

work. But we didn't much
mind. AS long as the water
was flowing, we could manage
to move the hose every few
minutes.
The marvellous thing was to
watch the immediate effect 1t
had. The sweet corn began to
uncurl its leaves, the tomato
plants perked UP. and the pep
per plants looked like they
might take q new lease on life.

Tree Fungi Hosts

"Trees should lend q rustic
touch-not a rusty one" says
q representative Of q tree ex-
pert company. Rusty tints indi-
cate a possible infection. II you
are planning to buy some trees
avoid the species that enable
some rust fungi to use two
hosts to become active.
Rust parasites infect by spore
termination and so need two
hosts. The spores alight first
on one tree and then the other,
always an unrelated kind. The
cedar rusts are the most wide
spread Of these diseases with
dual hosts cedar-apple, CEDAR
hawthorn and cedar-pear. An
other two-host combination is
white pine-currants and goose
berries. The resulting infection
Is called white pine blister rust.
The most effective control
Is gained by removing the
least desirable Of the two host
trees. II that is not feasible, a
fairly good Job can be done by
using ferban1 sprays next year.
