In growing a healthy, fruit-bearing church, try this plan:

Plant three rows of squash:

• Squash gossip
• Squash criticism
• Squash indifference

Plant seven rows of peas:

• Prayer
• Promptness
• Perseverance
• Politeness
• Preparedness
• Purity
• Patience

Plant seven heads of lettuce:

• Let us be unselfish and loyal
• Let us be faithful to duty
• Let us search the Scriptures
• Let us not be weary in well-doing
• Let us be truthful
• Let us love one another
