perform miracles when natura: 
means will suffice. But we do know 
that the advantage of doing things | 
in God’s way far exceeds anything | 
man has ever invented. Most spirit-- 
ual work is also fruitless because it 
is done in man’s way instead of | 
God’s. God made man upright but | 
he has sought out many inventions. — 
And God says, He will take venge- 
ance of their inventions. Ps. 99:8. 
Diseases | 
We have never found it necessary | 
to use sprays for fungus diseases, | 
after our ground was in the proper 
condition. Disease doesn’t like the | 
kind of plants we grow. Disease in | 
plants, like disease in people, thrives | 
on weak and decaying tissue, and if 
there is no such tissue there is no | 
disease. It requires a strong vigor- 
ous plant to withstand the diseases | 
that are prevalent now, but it is 
possible to grow such plants. . - 
O how unlike the complex ways | 
of man, : 
God’s easy, artless, unencum- 
bered plan. 2 @
