lie tribune stouffviile oat thursday december 1g 1934 canadian plowmen abroad william buhicc of camlacaie ni past president of ontario pomens association and manager of the canadian plow ing team at the second annual world plowing match at kil- larney ireland recently re turned to canada with team members james kccles of brampton ost and robert timbers of stouffviile ont here is the second of bis re ports on the trip one of the mot frequent topics of conversations ive had with other farmers since my return to canada has been tbout farm life and farming methods fa ireland compared to the conditions we know on farms in canada its quite impossible to make any sweeping statements about irish farming as a whole for we noticed a marked contrast between conditions in the east ern part of ireland and those in the west farming in the east in such counties as wicklow and kil- dare seems far more advanced in everv- way in fact theres probably far more contrast to be found between conditions in the east and west of ireland than between those in eastern ireland and those in canada erxes are to be found between all three areas eastern irish farms seem on the whole to be much larger than those in the west and this may have much to do with the fact that living standards are also much higher the houses we saw were nicely kept stone or brick structure ad nearly all the farm work appeared to be done by machin ery most farmers in the east have some kind of a car or truck to get to and from town and although we didnt visit in side any farm houses in the eastern area i imagine most would have telephones and ra dios as well one eastern farm near dub lin consisted of 3000 acres which was the first indication we had of how large some farms there really are although im sure the average eastern farm would be much smaller than that if i were a farmer in ireland i would naturally want to have a location somewhere in the east possibly near dublin which is on the east coast but as a visitor i found such counties as cork and kerry in the western area more fascin ating because farming was so different from what we were of course considerable differused to at home when you first see farms in western ire land you get a feeling that something is missing after a while you realize that hardly asy of the farms have barns the mild iruh climate per- ms the farmers to graze their livestock in the fields the year round they never have to provide them with shelter even during the winter the other i thing you notice on a western farm is the little donkeydrawn cart which the typical farmer uses instead of an auto i sup pose farmers in that locality have been using that same type of cart for centuries the typical western irish farm is divided into small fields of perhaps an acre or so each enclosed by a stone fence with earth piled on top of it in the j earth hedges are planted giv- jirg the fence a total height of perhaps five feet or more thus even the fences were green i like the fields and ive never jseen greener fields anywhere tin my life i i dont know why it is that the grass and foliage in ireland seem greener than anywhere else in the world but i expect the considerably heavier rain fall there has a lot to do with it in addition to livestock irish farmers go in a lot for wheat and other grains sugar beets potatoes and vegetables espe cially turnips in the eastern sector they grow a lot of bar ley as well producing it under contract with the breweries which use it to make ale bar ley production seemed to be quite a specialized and profit able business one of the most interesting rtee3seecess in the stouffviile legion hall on december 15th 21st 29th chickens geese turkeys this weeks sunday school lesson gioky to hod ix the

the others of this group of five which constitute a great final doxoogy psalm 14s op ens and closes with hallelu jah praise ye the lord between these two hallelujahs it is in two distinct parts the firs part opens with a call for praises to ring forth from the heavens then follows a list of the heavenly beings and ob jects to take part in the pavises after that come the reasons for such offering of praise gods work in creation and preservation the second part begins with a call to the earth to take up the refrain and proceeds to a roll call of earth its objects and intelligent beings as in part one this is followed by reasons for this mighty chorus of praise the excellence of god as seen especially in his work of grace vs 13 14 look then at the remark- customs among the irish farm ers is their fair day what we would probably call mar ket day and which takes place about once a month on this day a farmer from the west of ireland will either load his produce in his little cart or if he has quite a num ber of livestock to sell set out on foot for the nearest village or town driving the animals ahead of him along the road in one place we visited the townspeople were quite an- noyed because the farmers per- sisted in driving their pigs sheep and cattle along the main- street which was very nar row anyway the farmers al so insisted on doing their mar keting right on the same street instead of using the fair grou nds on the edge of town which were laid out for that purpose in the first place in contrast to this ancient traditional marketing system the irish government has re cently begun sponsoring farm services such as soil testing and plans for scientific rotation of crops and judging by the enthus iasm which both the farmers themselves and the govern ment workers seem to have for these projects i think its safe to make this prediction not many years from now that same irish farmer whose cus toms seem so quaint to us may rank among the most scientific farmers

tures reasons for praise grace hallelujah surely here is material for an excellent anthem but we can sing it in our hearts even if nobody provides a musical score for us verse by verso psalm 1481 praise ye the lord from the heavens in the heights the open ing phrase is simply hallelu jah the second phrase indi cates the sphere of praise com pare verse 7 verse 2 all his angels all his hosts angels and hosts refer to the heav enly intelligences spirit beings of a high order who serve god according to their ranks verse 3 sun and moon stars of light next come the heavenly bodies inanimate but praising their creator by the orderly fulfilment of their functions so showing forth his might and wisdom verses 410 these verses complete the section on praise from the heavens and begin the section on praise from the earth verse 11 kings princes judges hear human intelligences are called to join the praise as were heavenly intelligences in verse 2 all rankis are included in the sac red duty verse 12 young men maidens old men children not only all ranks but all ages irrespective of sex must take part in the uni versal anthem for gods good ness is to all verse 13 his name alone is excellent his glory is above the earth and heaven the name of the lord is ex cellent because he himself is excellent in all perfections and glories earth and heaven are both commanded to praise him because he is high above both in the glory that excels verse 14 while this verse is not in the lesson it ought to be noted as showing how this most excellent god over all has r owr people whom he has brought nigh to himself if this could bs sait of the na tion israel in how much great er sense can it be said of all who are in christ matt 118 when mary was espoused to joseph she was found with child of the holy ghost an espousal was as binding as actual mar riage in israel unfaithfulness in this period was punishable as in the case of an unfaith ful wife marys condition how ever was not through unfaith fulness but through a sover eign creative work of the holy spirit this however joseph did not know verse 19 joseph was minded to put her away priv ily try to imagine the grief the disappointment the chag rin of joseph and how he was swayed between anger and kindly affection justice could demand the fullest penalty of the law but loving kindness called for more tender dealing verse 20 the angel of the lord appeared in a dream fear not that which is con ceived in her is of the holy ghost being addressed as son of david would recall to joseph the messianic promises this is the first intimation to joseph that mary was the cho sen vessel of god for this mir aculous birth verse 21 thou shalt call his name jesus for he shall save his people from- their sins only by divine revelation could it be known that the un born child was a son the name while not uncommon was significant jehovah sav iour notice the ethical nature of the promised salvation an illegitimate child would bo a poor candidate for such a lofty ministry verse 22 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the lord read all this is come to pass with asv the angel still is speaking giving joseph the added assurance of the word of prophecy verse 23 behold a virgin shall be with child emman uel god with us this new testament usage of ise 714 ought to have constituted overwhelming authority for the translators of the new rsv to save them from their very weak rendering of that an cient prophecy only a doctrin al bias could have closed their minds to this authority and in duced them to put young wo man instead of virgin it is the virginborn who is god with us verse 24 joseph did as the angel had bidden him notice the promptness of josephs obedience and imagine the joy ous relief to his mind coupled with an awesome wonder verse 25 and he called his name jbsus not only did joseph obey in marrying mary but he obeyed in assum ing the paternal prerogative with respect to the child he named the child as the angel had told him to do the heart of the lesson perhaps there is more rela tion between the two ssctions of our lesson than at first ap pears ths last five psalms be gin and end with hallelujah and so constitute the second haliel the first being psalms 113 to us the second group belongs to the restoration pe riod when the temple destroy ed by nebuchadnezzar was re built the septuagint greek version ascribes three of them to haggai and zechariah the prophets of that period it was fitting indeed that the worship of the restored temple should contain a great paean of praise the isalm of our lesson con- templates the praises of god in heaven and on earth all that inhabit both regions are sum moned to join the praise rea son is given for this the heav- enlies and their hosts are in vited to praise the lord for his work as creator and sus- tainer of all things vs 5 6 the praises of the inhabitants of the earth are to rise because of the excellency of the lords name as revealed in his spe cial dealings with his chosen people this immediately tou ches the redemptive work o god and certainly anticipates a larger deliverance than is- raels restoration from the ba bylonian captivity and a bet ter drawing nigh v h than israel ever knew this great burst of praise then has a deep prophetic sig nificance it looks for him who alone can take all disharmonies out of creation by whom god will reconcile all things unto himself whether they be things in earth or things in heaven col 120 our sec ond portion tells of his com ing into the world to accomp lish the
