THE DIGNITY OF FARMING.
The Address Delivered by the Rev. c. W. Hanna, Chaplain of Hollenbeck Dec. 5, 1894.

W. Hanna, Chaplain of Hollenbeck
 Grange ,at the Meeting of said Grange,
 Dec. 5, 1894.
 First. It is honored by the bible. Adam was tiller of the soil. Bosz, the ancestor of Jesus. was a farmer. Elisha, the prince, and Uzziah, the king, 'loved husbandry." ca the resurrec- tion morning Mary, turning from the deserted sepulchre, took Jesus to be the gardener. Our Saviour drew many illustrations from farming; as the vine, the lily, the blow, the sheepfold, barns, fruit trees, and fields white for the har- vest. The nobleman who mads feast and invited many; one could not come because he married wife, and another had bought farm and must go and prove it.
 Observe secondly. History honors farming. A Chinese emperor invented the blow. For centuries the ceremony of coronation consisted in blowing a furrow, showing respect to the avoca- tion of farming. As an occupation farming enjoys the sanctity of the age. Before the Egyptians studied medicine, or the Chaldeans astronomy, God made His covenant with the farmers, "While the earth remaineth seed time and har- vest shall not cease" I remark thirdly. That poetry hon. ors farming Its richest themes have come from the field. Virgil celebrates husbaudry in his "Georgics" Burns uncovers his songs with the plowshare Will Carlton makes you weep and laugh in his "Farm ballads. Hundreds of books and thousands of newspapers are printed on the subject of farming. You can scarcely take up newspaper with out seeing one or more columns devot- ties are formed everywhere and laws are enacted to protect and prosper this noble, God given, industry. Farmers then should be proud of their calling and put as much brains and religion in to it as possible. What if they do cal you "Hayseed," "Clodhopper, "Old, Rusticuss," yours is nevertheless ar occupation with the blessing of beaver upon it; you have, 1.-The early and lat ter rain."
 And finally. The laws for the cultivation of the soil and the soul are the same Nature must be subdued. The grub bing-h and the torch must clear away the thickets and precede the blow. The soil must be stirred with the blow anc the harrow. The seed must be deposit ed. The growing plants must be culti vated, and then comes the ingathering the glad feast of the year. Who doe not see in all this lesson of the great est value? Will man subdue and cul tivate his farm and neglect the in terests of his immortal soul? Will h, not see to it that his heart become "tbs good ground" into which tn, divine seed, the word of God, shall fal and spring up and bring forth an abund ant harvest into eternal life?
