The readers write
Dear Editor,
It has been frustrating searching
for evidence that someone still
remembers the true meaning of
Easter. As I read Gwyn Whilsmith's
article "Jesus Christ still transforms
lives" 1 could see a light of truth
flickering in the darkness.
I too would make a plea for people
in our complacent society to consider
seriously the meaning of Jesus
Christ's death and resurrection for us
today.
There is yet another concern I'd
like to express. How appalling it was
to read about a fashion show which
had taken place in a local church!
Would this be pleasing to Jesus
Christ. He who chased the money-
changers out of the temple saying
"My house shall be called a house of
prayer" Matt 21:13?
I could imagine Christ's response
might be similar to the Lord's advice
to Samuel "Man looketh on the out-
ward appearance but God looketh on
the heart." I Samuel 17:7.
Are we as willing to reveal our
None of us lives for ever. But we can be our brother's keeper
for a long time by remembering the mentally handicapped in
our will.

"Every year, I can see the dif-
ference in the yield from one farm
to another. With different types of
soil, different farming techniques.
And i always ask which chemical
the crop was sprayed with. Myself, I
spray my beans with Amiben.
I have since chemicals were first
coming out. And I've been com-
pletely satisfied with Amiben. My
philosophy is that you've got'to get
those weeds before you even see
them. i've always had good luck
with Amiben.
"Amiben works into my system.
If I find something better, i'll use it.
So far, nothing works otter."
These days, a farmer's profit
margin isn't big enough to take
chances. That's why so many farm-
ers use Amiben, either alone or
mixed. it controls a wide range of J
broadleaf and grass weeds
without burning the beans. Sure
Amiben may cost a little more,
but the farmers who use it swear
that it's
uHinv
worth it. :HH,nE
