T hat very eccoMtric body known as flic General Public has at last really wakened up to Bie fact that the increasing competi­ tion which characterises the age, has rendered a combiimtioii of -tlieory with practice an absolute necessity. The day of stage coaclies and sailing vessels has long gone by, and with it has gone the time wlien a man could make a mere general knowledge of his business meet all Iris requirements. As division and sub­ division of labour narrow down tire sphere of each man’s work, education must widen liis knowledge of how to do that work thoroughlf and well. By training the liands. as well as the heads of their future workmen, other countries have raised their standard of efficient workman­ ship, until they have become dangerous aivals to the Englisli in all the markets of the world. And now we are establishing all over the comitry instrtutions where operatives may learn the scierrtific princi­ ples upon which their work should be conducted, and thus b.e able to turn out better work and effect a saving of energy. In most trades tire benefit of such

the full benefit of their scientific instruction is felt. It lias, unfortunately, to ' be added that this is not the only drawback with which farmers have to contend. A far greater one is to be found in the fact that in many cases the landlords refuse to make the alterations or additions which are the basis of all improvement of farming. This puts the farmeis in an unenviable position, somewhat similar to that of the poor man whose doctor ordered him to take a sea voyage for the benefit of his liealth. Lecturers may descant upon the science of farming, and point out the means ivhereby the prospects of the farmers m.i»y be improved, but of what use Is it, if the landlords refuse to allow the foundations of such Improvement to be laid. ? Of course, the landlords may have some­


thing to say in defence, but if they have why do they not say it? Dr. Webb, in his recent lectures, stated tliat a thorough system of drainage was the initia'I step in all improvement of pasture and other land. He also laid it down as an important point, that stock should be comfortably and warmly housed. Now, if landlords refuse to drain their tonanl’s land or tb provide them ryitli suitable sheds for their stock, how is the 'farmer to compete with his neighbours ? Not only is the charge agpinst the landlords one of serioMsly hindering tlie business of his tenant, but it is also a charge of short­ sightedness. The tenants’ interests are


■the landlords’ interests, to say nothing of the acknowledged fact that the interests of agriculture arc the interests of every other trade.

The-so ruins arc of black stone, but in one pl.aco tliore is a ruin of ivJiite marble, and those are believed to be llio remains of a synagogue, tlic one referred to in llic words, “ and hath builtnsasynagogne.*’ Amongst the ruins he found a cup shaped out of the . stone. This had been carved as a symbol of tlic providing of manna. He went on to refer to Clirist’s words on tho Bread of Life. Many who Iic.ard those words did not under.stand them, and many of Ilis disciples went away from Him. But I ’cter showed a truer insight into the meaning of tlic words when he said “ To whom shall we go. Thou hast the words of eternal life."
