SECTION TWO— HOME ORCHMIS SUGGESTIONS ♦ The Orient Pear lives, thrives and bears a wonderful crop amid blighted Keifers and Bartletts, says C. W. Ov erman, County Agent. This statement is based upon observations made by Extension Horticulturist John H. Har ris. The new Orient pear is highly blight resistant. It is a thrifty grow er and produces a delicious fruit for eating raw and cooking. It requires a neighbor such as the Keifer for best polination. With good plination it is a heavy producer. The County Agents are assisting people in making up club orders for fruit trees and plants. By ordering in larger quantities you can save on the cost. The agents know the varieties best suited to this area and will help you select varieties and plan your orchard—you can purchase your trees where you desire. From now until February is the ideal season to set out the home orchard, Mr. Overman says. Strawberries and dewberries should be set in February and March. But—don’t set trees and plants unless Weekly Devotional] Column By James Mackenzie « Prayer is an instrument that God j has placed in the hands of His peo ple, not in order that we might get \ what we want, but that, through it, God may get what He wants. “Pray er,” a someone has said, “is not con quering God’s reluctance, but laying hold of His highest willingness.” We should pray, not that we might per suade God to go along with our own petty plans and desires, but that He will bring us to the place where He may work out His sovereign purpose more effectively in us, and through us. As Clarence Macartney puts it: “There are answers beyond our an swers—that is, beyond what seems to us an answer. David lay on the ground all night and prayed for the recovery of that child of love and sin; but the prayer, as he asked it, was not answered. The child died, but David did not cease to pray and to be lieve in prayer. He comforted him self and said of the child, “I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me” (I Samuel 12:23). Paul prayed earnestly, if ever man did. He besought the Lord three times that his grievous and painful thorn in the flesh be taken from him; but his prayer, in that form, was not granted. The thorn remained to pierce and harass him to the end of his days. And yet at the same time God answered him when he prayed, and this was his answer, “My Grace is sufficient for thee” (II Corinthians 12:9). Paul found that to be the an swer to his unanswered prayer. The value of prayer isn’t always in the effect it has upon God; more of ten it is in the effect it has upon the person praying. Sometimes prayer is a road to rise, A mountain path leading toward the skies. It isn’t a shibboleth, creed or code, Nor always a pack horse to carry your load; And often the reward to the person who tries, Is not in the goal, but the exercise. i.
