thing happened which mads us
realize how greatly conditions have
changed since we started farming.
It was this way^. There were a
couple of oak trees up in the bush
that needed cutting down -and so
we sold them, As a result, soon
after breakfast one morning along
came two young fellows with a
chain saw to work on the trees. Be-
fore they could get to the bush,
there was an elm in the lane that
had to be removed. It had blown
down in a recent high wind and
was blocking the road. But when
the nien got busy with ,their chain
saw, that elm was cut into lengths
and the road cleared in no time at
all. Then the men, with their
equipment, went on up to the bush.
Inside of two hours, we saw their
small tractor swing around into the
yard with one big log behind it,
This was repeated until there were
four logs lying on the ground in the
yard. In the meantime, a truck had
arrived on the scene and within
half an hour from the time the logs
n ere brought dolvn from the bush,
they were loaded on the truck and
going down the road on their way
to the lumber mill. The loading had
been done by means of a chain at-
tached to the tractor -so there was
no heavy labor involved at all,
Just think of all the work that
had been done inside of three hours.
The fallen elm had been cut into
lengths to clear a roadway; the
two oak trees had been cut down in
the bush and four big logs cut out
of them, and another big oak that
was dead had been cut down for
ourselves.
Before the truck pulled out,
Partner called me to the window
and said, "Look ... see how easily
a job like that can be done these
clays! And to think of the work
it used to bel"
Because my memory was a bit
hazy on the subject, Partner re-
minded me that even as short a
time as 20 years ago, it would have
taken two good men three days at
least, even in good weather, to do
that same job with horses and a
crosscut saw. Half a day would have
been taken up in dealing with the
fallen elm; another day to fell and
cut the logs out of the oak trees,
and yet another day to draws the
logs on sleighs to the nearest saw
mill. Then Partner added, "I won-
der how many young fellows today
realize the advantages modern -
methods give them? While what
we have done with our logs today
looks like an expensive way of do-
ing things, yet the time saved by
discarding the slow, hand -labor
method more than pays for the gas
and machinery that was used. It
should also be remembered that
when such jobs can be done so

proofsily that labortacitineryis ofis secoeondaryore
importance ou present-day farms.
Yet that fact alone makes it more
than ever necesary for farmers to
be on the alert -they have to be if
they would take advantage of mod-
ern methods in doing things. Farm-
ers, now, must know more than
how to be tillers of the soil."
Well, dealing with the oaks and
the elm was a minor platter -right
now we have a more serious prob-
lem on our hands. That problem
is how tp convince Partner that'll*
must let up on the work, and to get
away from the idea that be must
work from dawn to dark. But
habit is hard to break. Partner has
been told by doctors and specialists
to go easy; his brothers and sisters
have todl hitn the saute thing;
Daughter is on the same track
when she comes home, but now
Bob and I are really reading the
riot act! Not but what we have
tried to do it before, but in a more
modified way.
I suppose the harder a person
has worked, the more difficult it is
for him --or her -to relax and let
someone else take over. Yet it is
so much easier if such persons will
recognize the fact that time is
creeping up on them and that they
have their limitations its regard to
the amount of work they can do.
For a farmer, selling out and retir-
ing to a place in town is not always
the answer. It works all right in
Oome cases -in others it doesn't.
But there is such a thing as retiring
on the farm, and for the man whose
whole heart and soul is wrapped
up in the land he has worked for
so many years; in the stock he has
raised; in the improvements he has
made, then surely it is the best
solution to the problem. Moreover,
when a farmer has lived through a
depression and come out on top,
then a sort of semi -retirement on
the farm is more to be desired
than a sudden severing of activities
to which he has become accus-
tomed, Any doctor will tell you
• that too drastic is physical change
is not only unwise, it is dangerous.
So that is the gist of our daily
sermon to Partner, "Keep working,
but take it easy . , , let up . ,
relax . . - the farm won't dissolve
into thin air as a results"
And maybe that little sermon ap-
plies to other farmers as well as
Partner,
Britain did not become an island
until about five thousand years ago.
Up till then it was joined to France,
Holland and Norway by a low-
lying plain. There was no North
Sea, Straits of Dover, English
Channel, or Irish Sea. An enor-
mous river, consisting of the Rhine,
Thames, Ouse, Trent and Forth,
flowed into the sea north of the
Shetlands,

UNDAY SCI1OOL
LESSON
By The Rev. R. Barclay Warren
"Planting -A Church In A Pagan
City' •
-
Acts 18:1, 8-1l; Car: 6:14.7:1
Golden Text:, "Ye are not your
owlt; ye are bought with a price;
therefore, glorify God in your
body," i Cor. 6:19-20. •
Corinth was a rich, commercial
city, capital of tite southern part of
Greece. It was the :most wicked
city which Paul visited in Eastern
Europe. For a year and a half, he
labored, despite severe opposition
from the Jews, Many believed and
a church was established.
Paul's letters to the Corinthians
indicate some of the problems
which arose later in the church.
There were divisions, "Every one
of you saith 'I ant of Paul; and 1
of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and 1
of Christ'." Loyalties to men
ecplipsed their loyalty to Christ.
There were also lawsuits before the
courts between these professed
Christians, Paul said, "Shames"
Some still took part in the pagan
feasts. There had been one instance
of fornication. Paul took an un-
compromising stand against all
these evils. The fornication mast
be severely punished, He writes,
"Be not deceived; neither fornicat-
ors, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,
nor effeminate, nor abusers of
themselves with mankind, nor.
thieves, nor drunkards, nor revilers,
nor extortioners, shall inherit the
Kingdom of God." 1 Cor. 6:9-10.
Alcoholism ranks fourth among
the pressing health problems of
Canada and the .U.S., with as many
alcoholics as there are persons suf-
fering from tuberculosis. A leading
Canadian industrialist has stated
that alcoholism costs Canadian in-
dustry $80,000,000 a year. "About
three persons out of every 100 ein-
ployed drink enough to be consid-
ered alcoholics," reported the per-
sonnel department of one large
industry. It is estimated that the
average alcoholic loses 22 days
each year from his job.
Paul called for separation from
all sin. We must be separated unto
God, cleansing ourselves from all
hlthiness of the flesh and spirit,
perfecting holiness in the fear of
God. We must glorify God in our
body, for we belong to God when
we are Christians.
1 wonder what personal **pati-
ence is behind this item in con (1w
tawa paper recently:

An Important Announcement
about
E
WI, n the sale of Margarine in Canada became legal 12 months
ago, IvIARGENE was the first brand to appear on the market.
At that time Margarine had been banned from Canada for 2S
years. There was no way of knowing what flavour and what texture
would best appeal to the Canadian palate.
In the intervening 12 months, Canada Packers has carried on
week -to -week tests to find out exactly the flavour Canadians wish.
We feel we have it in the NEW MARGENE-the flavour and the
texture Canadians like.
If you have not tasted the NEW MARGENE toy it now.
