when the minister russell legge spoke on investments reading from the wellknown portion of scripture matt 25 3146 which was one of the last discourses jestis had with his disciples we sneaked out to watch the engine we were the most im portant men at the threshing f they let us blow the whistle at noon i remember a stone bee with four teams qf horses and three- yoke of oxen 1 i go back to the days of the old stone and stump machines the giant stumps and bould ers that were piled in rows to make fences some of which can be seen today the older man farming to day does not say a lot about his baler combine or tractor but he will talk about his horses that he used to have there were many things to sadden people in general in those days i remember that morning in april over 50 years ago when we got the news that the titan ic steamship had gone down in the atlantic with 1600 souls on board in the first world war there was great consternation the germans might win when ev erything was going against the allies on the morning when a nei ghbor came in and told us that a german submarine had torpedoed and sank the boat with lord kitchener on board and when the empress of ire land had been sunk in the st lawrence river and lastly i remember one old and highly respected gent leman he came from the coun ty of tyrone in ireland i used to go to his place when a little tyke and follow him all over his name was thomas early well it la over 57 years since he was laid to rest in the old cemetery in campbellvllle but many times i see and think of the glad times 1 had with him and wonder why it seems that when one like him is taken away from this world there is not one left to take his place a big change has come over the world there used to be a song every day will be sun day bye and bye but now when one drives through the country one would not know it was sunday at all wash on the line some one hammering chain saws going plowing painting houses etc when we were boys we could not even play ball sun day was sunday in those days however we cant have the good old-days- back so we must try and make the best of what weve got and be thank ful for the grand country we live in percy
