r PARSON'S PONDERINGS j
* BY REV. JAMES E. ELERSON j
>;
We were on our way to a
p eaching engagement at the Cash
d eek Baptist Church near Heb
b rdsville, Kentucky, and had
j ne by Louisville to see some
: ends there. As a result we
!(und ourselves quite late on that
F iday night still a long way from
o ir destination. At Owensboro we
a ked a service station operator
? tell us the shortest way to
F L-bbardsville and were told that
tl ere was a road which was coun
:j-maintained and in fair condi
ti on and was the shortest route to
F ebbardsville, but that there was
n> bridge across a river that we
uould have to cross so we would
have to cross on ?. small ferry. j
The hour was late. The night |
Mas dark and rainy and cold. The
friends with whom we were to
<pend the week end would be
cpscerned abou* us; so, after some '
discussion, we decided to take ]
his shorter route.
We had traveled several miles
along this route when we came
upon a sign which read, “STOP—
SOUND HORN FOR FERRY.”
This sign was at the top of a hill
and in the darkness and mist of
the night we could not see a
stream anywhere nor was there
any sign of life or building or
anything to indicate there was
anybody within miles of us except
hat the sign said, “STOP —
SOUND HORN FOR FERRY.” I
peered into the darkness and turn
ed to my wife and said, “What
shall we do, now?” She replied,
"Well, you might try doing what
the sign says!”
I must confess that I did not
have much confidence at that mo
ment that anything would happen,
but I sounded the car horn, and
mmediately lights came on re
vealing a river at the foot of the
hill and a house on the other side
of the stream. Almost by the time
the lights came on a man came out
of the house and made his way
down to the river, soon we heard
the roar of a gasoline motor and
saw the ferry move across the
stream. In a matter of minutes
we were ferried across the river
and were on our way again.
As we drove on through the
night I thought of the words I
had read on that sign — “STOP —
SOUND HORN FOR FERRY,” and
I thought of how many rivers lay
across the way of life with no
visable means of getting across
them — the river of decision, for
example, is one which we all
come upon from time to time,
and we need help in crossing it—
then it is that we should remem
ber the words of our Savious,
“Ask, and it shall be given you:
seek, and ye shall find; knock,
and it shall be opened unto you.”

(Matthew 7:7). This is His road
sign on the Highway of Life in
viting us to “STOP — SOUND
HORN FOR FERRY” when our
w'ay is blocked.
Another of ‘he rivers across
the Highway of Life is that of
Temptation. This is a treacherous
stream which no person dare try
to cross alone. Then there is the
river of disappointment, the river
of despair, the river of illness, and
many others. At each of these we
need to stop and sound our cry
of faith and trust to God in pray
er and He will take us safely a
cross.
Finally, there is the river of
I Death which we each must cross.
J How important it is, by the time
we reach this rver, to have form
ed the habit of stopping and wait
ing for God, our Divine Pilot, to
steer us on our way. “Wait on the
Lord; be of good courage, and He
I shall strengthen thine heart: wait,
I say, on the Lord.” (Pslam 27:14).
Jesus, Saviour, pilot me
Over life’s tempestuous sea;
Unknown waves before me roll,
Hiding rock and treacherous
shoal;
Chart and compass came from
Thee:
Jesus, Saviour, pilot me.
When at last I near the shore
And the fearful billows roar
’Twixt me and the peaceful rest,
Then while leaning on Thy
breast,
May I hear Thee say to me,
“Fear not, I will pilot Thee.”

HOME NOTES

GROWING CALADIUMS
Fancy Leaf Caladiums have be
come very popular, both as a pot
plant and an outdoor bedding
plant. They will remain attractive
throughout the summer, and are
easy to grow. And these colorful
beauties thrive in locations too
shaded for many other ornamental
plants.
Caladiums are grown from tub
ers which have “eyes” similar to
the eyes of Irish potatoes. The
larger the tuber, the more “eyes”
which will untimately develop in
to sprouts and then leaves. The
size of the plant ultimately pro
duced depends a great deal on
the size of the tuber planted.
A native of the tropics, calad
iums require high temperatures.
This is especially true during the
germinating period. They will
start best at a 70 to 80 degree tem
perature. It’s best to wait to plant
the tubers until this temperature
range can be maintained. Starting
them in a cool soil usually results
in poor growth or rotting. Calad
iums usually can be started eas
ily in a media of clean sand, peat
moss, or vermiculite. Keep the
madia moist at all times. After
growth has begun, transfer the
tubers to the permanent location.
Planting the tubers up-side
down will increase the number of
leaves, but this requires a longer
period of time. A more practical
method of stmulatng more sprouts
nto growth s to use a sharp knfe
and cut out the large central “eye”
before plantng. This will result
in the production of an abundance
of foliage instead of a few very
large leaves.
Caladiums do much better in
soil which is high in organic mat
ter and sand. This means that the
soil will be well aerated. Several
sources of organic matter may be
used, such as well-rotted manure,
well-rotted leaf mold, or peat
moss. Commercial pot plants are
usually grown in a soil consisting
1I of one-half peat moss and one-half
i sandy loam. Caladiums shocld be
' j planted so that the top of the
1 tuber is one and one-half to two
inches below the surface of the
soil. For outdoor beds, space the
, tubers approximately 12 inches
. apart.
Planting in a semi-shaded loca
; tion is very important for best re-

Comfort. Electric cooling in your home ban
ishes summer swelter. In winter, electric
home heating keeps your family snug. You
enjoy year-round spring.
Cleanliness. No fuel, no by-products of com
bustion. Light-colored walls, draperies, and
furnishings stay new-looking much longer.
Economy. No heat wasted up a flue! Elec
tricity delivers a dollar’s worth of heat for
every fuel dollar you pay.
Convenience. No constant adjustments. Many
electric systems let you regulate tempera
tures room by room.

suits. Semi-shade will encourage
the production of large, brightly
colored leaves. Too much shade,
however, will cause the leaves to
have dull, faded colors. On the
other hand, too much direct sun
light will “burn” the foliage.
Caladiums have high moisture
requirements. At the same time
they will not thrive under water
logged conditions. Keep the soil
moist at alltimes. Failure to oro
duce large healthy leaves is often
caused by inadequate watering.

We thank thee for our children,
i Guide us in trying to understand
i them. Help us to listen patiently to
■ what they say and to answer their
I questions kindly. May we not in
j terrupt, contradict or be rude to
them. Help us to be as courteous
to them' as we would have them
be to us.
When we have treated them
wrong give us courage to beg
their forgiveness. May we not
vainly hurt their feelings. Give
us strength not to laugh or ridi
cule their mistakes.
Let us not tempt our child to
lie, cheat or steal but may we set
strong patterns of citizenship. Day
by day and hour by hour help us
■ I to demonstrate good examples of
growth leading to success, hap
piness and a spiritual life. Help
us overcome any meanness, cow
ardice or prejudice.
Help us to see the good things
our children do and give them
just praise for it. May we not ex
pect adult judgments and convic
tions. Help us to guide them to
ward lasting values. May we di
rect without pushing and steer
them in the direction of their in
dividual talents, abilities and in
terests and at their own rate. For
bid that we should ever punish
1 them to satisfy our selfish satis

May we grant them all their
reasonable and wholesome wishes
but may we have the courage to

know will do them harm. May
our bonds of love and esteem

CONTROL NEMATODES
Nematode damage to vegetables:
often results in poor growth, low
vigor, and yellowing of the fol
iage. And during dry weather, ac
cording to Dr. Norman McGlohon,.
plant pathologist with the Exten
sion Service, plants will wilt. Dis
tinct knots and galls are present
on the plant roots. Control of ne
matodes is accomplished with
chemicals. County agents can pro
vide information on what chemi
cals to use, and how to use thero.
One rotten fruit in the orchard
can provide enough disease or
ganisms to destroy the whole
crop, says Dr. Norman McGlohon,
plant pathologist with the Cooper
ative Extension Service.
