Pearman We Must Use Our Resources BY HERBERT SPAUGH Almighty God planned life so that we are to use those re sources which He has placed at our disposal and then pass them on to others. The truth of this was brought home to me one day as I was (trivial through Winchester, Vau Adjoining the highway was an old grist mill powered by a water wheel It attracted my attention so I stopped for a little tour of inspection. I found that it was no longer operated as a mill, but had been converted to a storage warehouse for apples. As I was making my tour of inspection, I asked the manager if the old water wheel was still in use. He replied that it is being used to operate the re frigeration system for the warehouse, affording low-cost power. He said, “We use the water for power, and then pass it on to others for use.* He then added that the stream which furnished water to operate the huge wheel likewise supplied a nearby swimming pool which was quite popular with the people of Winchester. That same water will be used by many others before it reach es the ocean. If we could all learn that simple principle of using the blessings which God has given us and then passing them on to others. So many of us find our Chris tian faith weak, because we don’t share it with others. The Good Book reminds us that, “The joy of the Lord is your strength..They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.* All the resources of God are ours for the asking and putting ourselves In condition for the receiving. The terms set forth by God for receiving His power are a surrendered life — a life through which the power of God can flow to others. We need to learn that we are not reservoirs for storing the blessings of God, but channels through which that power can pass. Like the water wheel at the old Winchester mill, power is produced only as the water passes through and over it into the stream beyond. Too many of us have our life channels blocked with sin and selfishness. The power can’t pass through, and so we are powerless, The American people need restoration of soul more than they need anything else. You need it. I need it. Boundless power is yours for the taking if you will meet the conditions of a life yielded completely to God. Too many want to leave Christ on the Cross and put self on the throne. The answer is self on the cross and Christ on the throne. One of the best ways to keep your head is not to go over it into debt.

One of the most solemn warnings as to not only the possibility, but also the danger of falling, is found in Paul’s first letter to the Church at Corinth. (1 Cor. 10:1-12) In these verses Paul tells of many of God’s people falling, and gives the reasons why they fell. Then he says these are examples, “and they are written for our admonition,” and then this warning, “Wherefore, let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” These examples from the history of Israel are used by the apostle to teach Christians the necessity for self-control, and the possibility of apostasy. Just as the Israelites fell in the wil derness after they were baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea, so those who are bap tized into Christ may fall away, and fail to reach the promised land of heaven. Let us keep in mind that the issue, Is not “Will,” but “Can,” It is not what a child of God “will do,” but what they “can do.” Is it pos sible for one to become a child of God, and then so act that he will be lost? CAN A CHILD OF GOD SIN? “When I say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness and commit iniq uity, all his righteousness shall not be remem bered; but for his inquity that he hath com mitted, he shall die for it.” (Ezek. 33:13) To God's erring children, these words are addressed: “BEHOLD, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your inquities have sep arated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.” (Isa. 69:1-2) HOW DOES ONE GET INTO THE KING- DOM OF GOD? “Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” (Jon. 3:6) Is it possible for one who has been born of the water and of the Spirit to ao sin aato be lost ? Let Christ answer this ques tion. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shaH cast them into a furnace of fire: there ?Q a i 1 b fox Wa SL n } fir Bm&shing of teeth.” (Matt ^ <« ■><* what I think Christ said, nrtther is it ray interpretation of what He said, rneee are His words.

PARKHK (EDITOR’S NOTE: Material in this column is provided by Extension Service specialists and faculty members of Clem- son University. Readers may address questions to, Editor, Home & Outdoors, in care of this newspaper.) Q. I have a huge pecan tree at a new location, measuring 10 feet 8 inches around near the ground. It has no pecans this year, but I’m told has had in the past What can I do to have them next year? I’ve nev er seen a pecan tree this large. Is this a record? R. M., Easley. A. It’s a big one, but I be lieve you will find at least one in Orangeburg County that is larger. There are several fac tors involved in pecan failure to set nuts. The most frequent Is lack of fertilization, followed by lack of pest control. Late this winter, apply 10 or 12 pounds of zinc sulphate and at least 150 pounds of 10- 10-10 fertilizer, broadcasting that under the limb spread and just beyond. This may not in fluence production for next year, but you should begin to see some results year after next. Do this on an annual basis.--R. J. Ferree, princi pal extension specialist, horti culture. Q. My judas tree is 8-10 years old. Each year a limb dies and it has fewer blooms only one tiny one this spring. My Carolina Jessamine vines don’t die, but they don’t grow or bloom. What should I do? M. A. B., Greenville. A. Some loss of limbs or self pruning can be expected each year. Redbud also is sus ceptible to cankers and die- back which can be responsible for loss of limbs. Control of dieback is to prune well be low where it occurs. Carolina Jessamine thrives in most lo cations under trying circum stances, but too much shade or an exposed location could be your problem.--J. P. Fulir assistant professor, horticu. hire. Q. My apple trees produced heavily this season, but worms and insects ruined all the fruit. I sprayed with a commercial product bought locally, but I might as well have saved my money. How can I remedy this? J. C. W„ Pelzer. A. It’s rather difficult to package insecticides and fungi cides together that will take care of all pests of apples for the whole summer. Contact your county agent’s office and get a copy of “Crowning Fruits At Home* along with a copy of the apple spray schedule. You will find recommendations for con trol of most diseases and in sects of apples in this publica tion. In addition to spray in gredients, you will need ade quate equipment for good cov erage If you’re to beat the plague of pests.—R. J. Ferree, principal extension specialist, horticulture.

Sophie McKinney Smith Executrix 705 Shands St. Clinton, S. C. Sept 30, 1970 022-C3-N5 Q. A puppy pulled the bark off my California Redwood tree from the ground up to about 18 inches. Should this exposed area be wrapped for the winter, or is there a danger of cold killing the tree? It’s five years old. B. W., Spartanburg. A. If the tree has been completely girdled, there isn’t much chance of survival. If not completely girdled, paint the exposed area with a tree paint It will prevent decay until heal ing, Loss of the bark will have little or no effect on cold dam age.—E. V. Jones, assistant ex tension specialist, horticulture. AIRMAN MARTIN Martin Completes AF Basic Airman Terry C. Martin, son of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Mar tin of 402 N.
