1,000 PLOUGHING RIVALS.

WOMAN OF 73 AND MAN OF 93.

EXCITED ONLOOKERS.

WITNESHAM, Suffolk, One thousand expert ploughmen and women of all ages from the enstern counties and even farther afield competed in an all-England open ploughing contest for various prizes and for the benefit of the Ipswich and East Suffolk Hospital Thirteen teams were busy all day ploughing the beavy and exacting sail of five fields in this broad and breezy bit of old Suffolk.

The oldest woman competitor was Mrs. Button, aged 73. She was beaten last year for the first prize by a girl of 17. This year, there was a class for women over 70.

Late in the afternoon crowds ar- rived ip mator-coaches, and excited spectators followed the course of every new furrow, making beta as to which was the straightest.

Last year's open champion, Mr. D. Fleming, of Witnesham, is also a prominent bellringer. To-day he rang the changes on some local bells before trying his skill with the plough

One of the oldest of the local ploughmen, Mr. Jimmy Cook, a blue-eyed man of Suffolk aged 84, with a beard like an Elizabethan ruf, complained last year that he had to compete against "young men of 70. This year the officials arranged a class for old-age pen- sionera from 65 to 70 years and another for men over 71.

Two of Jimmy Keenest rivals were Mr. Sam Tarner," aged 87, and Mr. Charlie Sharman, aged 93, of Otley, Suffolk

Charlie, a tall, erect, old man, starched white collar wearing a and a tie, entered into the contest with a youthful stride. He did a wonderfully straight furrow that never deviated more than 23 inches.

THE REVOLT AGAINST CHRISTIANITY."

DR. GORE'S CHALLENGE.

"THE ATMOSPHERE OF SOCIETY."

Dr. Gore makes an earnest ap peal to the nobler emotions of men and women in his notable now book, "Christ and Society."

Be contends that the present state of civilised society requires a reform so drastic na to amount to a peaceful revolution. This revolu tion, however, he says, must consist of a change of spirit, not of a change of legislation; and

the change must come not from the

masses but from the influence of leaders. The great need is to ap Fly the teaching of Christ to social

as well as to individual life.

He denounces the present "mute mosphere of society"

The fabric of conventional Christianity is tottering. A great part of the philosophie, scientific, and artistic worlds would hardly claim or wish to be called Christian; and the re- volt is not, as it was a generation back, a merely doctrinal revolt which still gives loyal adherence to the Christian moral standard.

Unpopularity And Ridicule. It is something much "more serious, more disastrous in its im plications:

To-day there is a widespread revolt against Christian morality, as is exemplified in modern novel literature, in the propaganda "of the movement called euphemisti- eally Birth Control, and in an important section of the feminiat movement while the paychologi cal movement which has self- expression for its watchword often appears to be the old philo- sophy of selfishness under a new

name.

And he goes. further:

The younger among us must prepare to find themselves"in a world which in great part has revolted from Christianity..

a world, perhaps, in which the ac tive profession of Christianity will again subject 'man, if not to persecution, yet to much un- popularity and ridicule.

#4 Class War 2 Yolly. Dr. Gore dismisses Communism and Socialism in their thorough- going forms," because, he says:

I desire to insist that the maintenance of the family (which should always be regarded as the root and centre of the organisa tion of human society) na well as the encouragement of the in- dividual demands the mainten- ance of private property. In the same way he denounces the extremists of the "clam-war":

Nothing, I think, can be more directly contrary to the method of Jesus than the method of militant revolution. It is a mis- take to speak of the Cleansing of the Templo with the scourge of small cords as an act of physical force. Jesus was a solitary and a weary man against a crowd.. The force was wholly on their eide.

The former Bishop of Oxford challenges the so-called "advanced school" of thought at many points in this notable work.
