THE BISHOP OF ELY ON THE RELATIONS OP
CLERGYMEN AND FARMERS.

At the agricultural meeting at Ramsey the
Bishop of Ely, in reply to the toast of the clergy, defesded
the absence of the clergy from the show ground, whisk bad
been remarked upon by one of the speakers, and said that •
clergyman had been brought before the publie • little too
much for his too intimate winos:ion with times mimed is
agricultural pursuits. It had been said. but be did not
know whether to believe it am truth, that one
clergyman had been suspended—he did not WWI by
the neck—for associating too muck with those engaged
in the oath-ratios of land. It was possible, therefore.
that the clergy of this bland were • little efrahl of having
the same operation performed upon them. But one miseries
had been made by the chairman. and he thought his words
would have effect with the clergy, when he pointed out the
archdeacon as an excellent example of a clergyman taking
part in agricultural matters. lie thought that the chair-
man's statement, and the example set by the arch-
demos, would have an excellent effect upon the
clergy, especially if the archdeacon would give them
as much information as be had at • former mart-
iog, when he communicated the new discovery be
had made of fattening pip without costing a farthing.
archdeacon, he was glad to see, bad again come
forward in a spirited manner at this show, and carried off
several prises. He was not willing to "charge" Map=
upon the subject, or even to address to them a
letter is reference thereto ; but if any words of his would
theueseis the clergy to follow the archdeacon's example be
would gladly give the asemesery encouragement. lie might
at least assure them that he did not feel ,uchned to ausprod
them. in any sense of the word, for employing themselves is
a greater or less degree in the occupation of agriculture ;
and he wee not disposed to impend them or Sod fault, even
if they mupseeed the archdeacon in the breeding ot • ,
For hie oat wt he bud never regarded tars
as as ecdedaefhal offence; indeed, in this respect, as is
others, be was content to tread humbly in the steps of the
revered Bialiop Wilson—than whom no mar bad exerted
himself more for the advancement of agriculture in this
Wand by setting an example of good farming. Since his
appointment as bishop of this diocese he had done something
as an agriculturist to improve the breed of sheep in this
island ; but he found that on this occasion he was, for the
drat time, beaten, and well beaten. lie had to thank
the judges for deciding against what was, at one
time, the but took of sheep on the island, by
giving the palm over his head to somebody else mars
deserving of it. His object in endeavouring to im-
prove ha stock, as well as his object iu making these re-
marks, was to give rise to emulation and activity, and to
lead them to take eaceeringement from his past sumer, and
from the snoops of those by whom at this show he had
been himself surpassed. He was glad that his example had
been taken, Nod at every future exhibition be would be glad
to acknowledge the man that had beaten the bishop in
sheep. For his own pert, he did not feel himself in his
spirituel capacity degraded, bat [rather elevated and sows•
raged, by social assamusication with the laity at all times,
and the laity of all classes in society.—Suez Herald.
