United Church
At Lucan United Church,
Sunday, August 26th. Rev.
Keith Brown speaking from
Paul's letter to Timothy,
Chapter 3: 16-17. said that
Paul was speaking of the
importance of the Bible. He
said that while man wrote
the scriptures, he was' in-
spired by God to do so. and
that the Holy Spirit, through
Paul, put His stamp 'of ap-
proval on the Old. and the
New Testaments.
"To get the most out of the
Bible, we must recognize it
as a personal letter from God
to us and put into practici'
the contents of this letter."
said Mr. Brown.
The Bible will speak to us
if we will permit it to do so
and through us to others.
May God help us to hear it,
heed it and share its
teachings.
Jeannie Jones sang two
lovely solos, "I'll Walk with
God" and "Just a Closer
Walk with Thee." Mrs. Jones
invited the congregation to
join in singing the chorus of
the latter.
The flowers in the Sanc-
tuary were from the funeral
of the late Marie Park and
the love and prayers of the
congregation were extended
to her loved ones. The
flowers were distributed to

ternoon.

Quackgrass- -
- Let
it grow!
That's the keyto controlling
quackgrass this fall with Roundups herbicide.
Next spring. -nothing will be more -
important than getting in and planting as
early as possible. Unfortunately. that
doesn't leave much time for dealing Hith
quackgrass.
Unless you apply Roundup'
herbicide by Monsanto this fall
after harvest. Treating quackgrass f
this fall means you'll have one less chore
in the spring.
Simply allow the quackgrass to
regrow undisturbed in the crop stubble
lib majority of plants are act -
e y growing and'at least 13
inches high (3-4 leaf stage). But
treat before the first killing frost.'
Properly applied. Roundup will
be absorbed and "translocated"
down into the network of rhizomes
destroying the entire plant. above
and below ground. Five days after
treatment. you can resume fall
tillage operations.
Since Roundup has no residual soil activity.
you can plant wheat. oats, barley. corn or
Soybeans next spring without risk of
crop injury.
What's more. many farmers using Roundup
as the key element in a quackgrass
"Ncontrol program. have been able to
achieve manageable quackgrass
` control for as long as three years.
See your dealer about Roundup.
The herbicide that gets to the root of the
problem.
