were.
It is true that the farmer who 'owns
outright his farm and his stock is
eine of the most independent men on
the earth. And he is that way be-,
cause he can support 'himself and his
family on the fat of the land and for
an indefinite time, regardless of mar-
kets and pricee.
That as good as far as it geese but
even to do -that he will luive to work.
But the working days of a farmer,
like every man in any other trade or
prcifession, are limited.
When that time of life comes to a
man who has made a success of hie
profession, or one whe lies been a
successful manufacturer, or man of
business, if he has not accumulated
enough money on which to retire, he
can, at least, sell his practise or busi-
ness as a going concern, and at one
hundred cents on the dollar. In many
'cases such a business will bring con-
siderably more than that amount.
With a farmer the conditions are
different. Seldom have the' conditions
of agticulture been such that a farmer
creald realize one hundred cents, on
the dollar of his investment, not to
mention a profit-eno matter how suc-
cessful he may have been, br what a
model farm be may have owned.
Atathe present time and for some
years past, no farmer has been able
to realize more than fifty, per cent.
of the actual value of his holdings,
and. not many have been able to do
even that.
A short time age a ,farm was put
up at auction at Chesley and the only
bid on it was $3,500. That bid was
refused by the owner because he be-
lieved the farm was worth more
money. It must have been a, good
farm because he had• been able to
raise a first mortgage en it of $5,000
and a second mortgage of $1,500.
That is just $3,000 more than was bid
•for the farm.
And that is a situation that is not
• peculiar to Chesley or that district.
There are dozens, perhaps hundreds,
of farms in the Counrty of Huron to-
day that can be bought for less than
it cost to put the buildings on them.
They, too, are good farms, some of
them among the best in Canada, yet
their owners can realize on them but
a fraction of their value, or of the
,money invested in them.
• These are but instances of what
agriculture is up against at the pres-
ent time. Farm prices are fixed. A
farmer has no say as to what they
shall be, neither has he any say in
• fixing the price of the goods he has
to buy, and while these latter are
many times less in price than they
were even a year ago; a farmer still
has to pay a little more for what he
buys than he receives for the things
he has to sell.
He can, as ere say, even under these
onditions, live well. 'What he can't
do is maker:Toney, or 'get much money
to spend. .Nor can he get from un-
der, because when he conies to sell he
finds that the value of his property
has shrunk to a mere nothing, and
even at the 'bargain prices, there are
few in any buyers.
• Contrary to the opinion of nurn-
berles urban people, fapning is not
all velvet, even for the'ma.n who owns
his farm and all there is upon it,
while for the man who has mounting
interest charges to meet, as' well aa
mounting taxes, it is becoming almost
an impossible task.

• Charge Te People.—The following
is the charge to the people as deliver-
ed by Rev. James Mcllroy, of this
village, am the recent occasion
of the induction se the Rev. D.
J. Love, in 'Knox Presbyterian
Church, Goderich: As minister ap-
pointed by the Presbytery of Huron
to give the charge to the people, I
would. sew: 1. Forsake not the as-
sembling of yourselves together; you
have in connection with this congre-
gation 340 families. There should. be
at least two membersof each family
present here every Lord's' Day both
morning and evening, or an attend-
ance in al/ of 680. You have a mem-
bership of 717 in this congregation
who attend public worship. There
really ought to be a weekly attend-
ance of at least 750 people arid that
the first day of the week. When you
call a minister here to break unto you
the Bread of Life you shouild wait on
his ministrations. When you see hire
inducted in 'his dharge as you have
Witnessed this evening, you should do
something. more than pay your stip-
end. You should strive to profit
spiritually by his Preaching. There is
nothing more disheartening for any
minister than to enter his pulpit on a
Sabbath morning, and to be confront-
ed with a wilderness of empty pews.
It chills him in his endeavors and is
a positiee menace to the work of God.
Now, I am very much afraid that
there are many here who do not at-
tend the sanctuary as they ought and,
doubtless they would be the very first

3. Encourage your minister. From
the very first give' your new minister
a right royal welcome to your
homes. When you see him,. don't
frown down upon him; treat him as a
friend and give him a kindly smile
and a warm handshake. Don't let
your goodness pass away with the
first days of his ministry. Reserve
a few studied kindnesses for "the
midst of the years." There will come
a time when he must needs tread the
long stretch of desert dream; he wilt
then need your encouragement; give
it to him. When he preaches a good
sermon, tell him how much your ap-
preciate it. When he visits you in
sickness, tell him the good he has
done you. 'Hb does not want flattery,
but he needs the uplift that a word
of cheer can give. To show that your
feelings are real, it would be no harm
to back up your words with a few
little deeds of kindness. Your min-
ister will need these tokens of your
affection and you have the right to
give them that "he may thank God
and take courage." You have prom-
ised yourminister what seems a lib-
eral stipend for a congregation of this
size. I may remind you, however,
that if you go on and prosper, your
