James N. Faulconer. pastor of the Christian Church in Jack son. Mississippi, announced in the daily newspaper that the following Sunday he was going to hold a funeral service for church members. At the service he promised to read the names of 50 inactive members of the church and place the list in a small coffin. “When one ceases to function in the church program he is dead, and it is time for fiis funeral.” explained the alert young minister. The day for the funeral ar rived, and of course the church was crowded. All the inactive members turned out hoping their presence would dissuade their pastor from disgracing them. The curious were also there and a good number of Pharisees. People who never attend church to meet with the Lord can easily be reached with a promise of something unusual or entertaining. The service proceeded as usual until the time for the list of names drew nigh. Then as everyone crossed fingers the pastor read the names of the dead church mem bers: John Backslider, Anna Lukewarm. Margaret Indecision. Alma Gossipcr, Jim Knocker. Edith Ncverhelp, Daniel I. Doo little, Henry Neverpay. Frank Non-Missionary. Harry Itcan’be done. Liza Sundavheadache. Tom Iknowitall. George Sleeplatc. Fritz Someday, Cliff Selfishness. Florence Sensuality. Arthur Ap petite. Maud Hatred. Homer Temper. Stella Impatience. Rob ert lambusy and the Critical family, of whom there are six: Harry, who thinks the preacher preaches too long; Jane, who thinks the pastor should call of tener; Ike. who thinks the church has too many calls for missionary help: Callic, who doesn't like the choir, and Glen, who thinks there are too many hypocrites on the official board of the church. Drastic, perhaps, but I feel the good pastor made his point.

However, most farm fam ilies and town gardeners •arc well on the way with a good spring garden. I This information comes to us from Albert A. Banadyga, Ex tension Horticultural Specialist, i which is of interest to all vege i table gardeners. “Does It Pay To Stake and I Prune Tomatoes? The answer is! ,YES! The advantages of prun ing and staking are: (1) Less > rotting of the fruit during wet i weather, (2) the first fruit ripens i three to five days earlier. (3) jripe fruits are easier to find i and more convenient to pick, ; (4) larger fruit size, and (5) it is ' easier to do a thorough job of ' dusting or spraying to control j insects and diseases. The disadvantages are: (1) j More time and cost involved in j growing the crop and (2) total yield per plant is slightly less t than when not staked and prun led: however, plants may he j spaced closer when staked and ! pruned with a result of more ! tomatoes per square foot. Tomatoes may be staked, by i driving a 6-ft. stake about 4 1 inches from the plant, and tying ia soft string loosely around the, stem yet f-rm’y around the | God's work be accomplished.
