from Ireland, gave us one week’s ploughing, and another man, with his threshing machine, threshed out all our grain without any pay.

Crapaud had lots of ploughing frolics, stumping, mowing, and wood frolics when I was a boy; and drinking whisky was the order of the day. Our brightest day in the year was Christmas Day. A good fat goose hung up by the neck before the chimney fire and a dish was set under it to catch the dripping fat. A big plum pudding danced in the big pot. And there was a big jar—full of whisky, the very best made, to treat a friend from a friend.

OUR MOTHER’S WAY IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO

Our mothers milked the cows. They churned the cream with an Indian churn into butter, cleaner and richer and sweeter than any machine man could make now. They gathered the harvest up. They picked and sorted the potato crop. They carded the sheeps’ wool, spun and weaved

it into men’s and women’s ware, made it up and dressed themselves with it, and went to church dressed in it.

Nowadays, women try to imitate the men in dress. They go out to night dances and bridge parties; play cards and go to horse races. They get very excited at election times. They’re fonder of voting than the men. "They want to rule the world against man power.

There is no power, only of God and man, the powers-that—be ordained of Him. Woman rule and power will come to naught, as it did in the Garden of Eden. Mother Eve was the first human soul that sinned in the world. She deceived Adam and deceived herself, and Satan deceived her and told her a lie, and she believed him. Now God’s commands to our first parents was, “Of every, tree in the garden you may eat, except one in the middle of the garden. And you must not eat of it, neither touch it, lest you die.” And Satan said to the woman, “Ye shall not die, and the day thou eatest of it, thine eyes will be opened and ye shall be as God to know the good and the evil.” And the woman saw the tree was good for food and niCe and pleasing to her eyes, and she took the fruit and did eat of it, and then did give it to her husband, and he (to please her) did eat of it. And God said to Adam: “Hast thou eaten of the tree that I commanded that thou should not eat of ?” And Adam said: “It was the woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she did give me of the fruit of the tree and I did eat.” Sin is sure to find us out sometime in this world, or in the next.

Sin has got to be punished. God cursed Satan above all living things, and God said to the woman in the first clause: “I will greatly multiply thy sorrow,” and in the last clause: “Man shall rule over thee.” And he said unto Adam: “Because thou hast harkened unto the voice of thy Wife, cursed is the ground for thy sake. In sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.” Be not deceived, God is not mocked, for what- soever we sow, that shall we also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh, shall reap corruption, but he that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap life everlasting.

Now in the first of the 19th. century, the United States invaded Canada. It caused a war with Canada, and the United States, in the year 1812. The war lasted two years and when peace was proclaimed, America wanted free trade with Prince Edward Island. We were willing, and then 'We had Free Trade for a little while. The Yankees wanted our fish and pine lumber and timber —— the best pine in the world. The Yankees were too sharp for us. They flooded our Island with worthless goods and sold
