The key of death!
(William Thoseby, “Foot-prints on the Sands of Time” 1869)
“It is appointed unto man once to die; but after death the judgment!” Hebrews 9:27
“I hold the keys of death and the grave!” Revelation 1:18
Christ has the key of death suspended at His belt!
None can enter among the immortals--until Christ has turned the key for him!
None can stay among the mortals--after that key has been turned upon him!
And as the key may be turned at any possible hour--how important it is that we
should get ready and keep ready for its turning. We know not “what a day nor an
hour may bring forth.” There may be the sudden burst, the instant call, the midnight
cry, “Behold, the Bridegroom comes!”
Both the sinner and the saint should remember that death comes unexpected, and
the arrow is unseen which strikes through the heart!
“Prepare to meet your God!” Amos 4:12
“Like crowded forest trees we stand, And some are marked to fall; The axe will
smite at God’s command, And soon will smite us all!”

Wawanosh 4-H club learns
how to make, preserve pickles
By Reba Jefferson
Meeting two of the Wawanosh 4-
H Preserves Club was held on
Monday, Aug. 26 at 7 p.m. at the
Auburn Hall. President Reba
Jefferson opened the meeting with
the pledge, then led roll call, which
asked why pectin was used in jam.
All members answered with pectin
causes the jam to set, as they had
learned about pectin at meeting one.
Meagan Higgins then read the
minutes from meeting one. Mary
Ellen Foran then asked members
how their peach jam had turned out.
A few members had tried it and
liked it; one member has even
finished her jar already. The club
then thought of names for the club
and voted for the name Country
Canners.
Following the business of the
meeting, Mary Ellen talked about
the importance of canning properly,
types of pickles, and their
ingredients. The club then watched
a video on making pickles. The club
then got to work. The members
divided up the tasks and worked
together to make their pickles.
Members washed and sorted
cucumbers, then cut the ends off or
sliced the bigger pickles to make
stackers.
Next, members took their
sterilized jars and put a clove of
