I sometimes wish I lived back then it was a simpler time

Sheaves of wheat were formed by thrashing (usually by hand in those days) and then binding a large armful of the wheat together.  The wheat was then left in an upright position in the fields to dry like that for a few weeks, and then transported to the barns.  If the wheat was left laying on the ground it would rot and be of no use.  The song, Bringing in the Sheaves refers to Christians going out into the world and helping to bring the Harvest, (sinners), into Gods care.

I just love Victor French. I think hes a brilliant actor.

I love Victor French, I was so sad when he died.

I grew up with all of these hyms because I was raised Baptist. They are always signing "Bringing in the Sheaves." LOL

I love this episode.

Bringing in the bed sheets

I hope it does! They dressed so Godly! Take care!

Its also sung on an episode of the Simpsons so it must be something holy.. cuz the Flanders' were signing it

@flyleaf4me probably not but i agree with you

2:52 was very creepy

@erinne23 me too

There wasn't much mail was there?  How long could it have taken her to sort it! lol

What are they singing in the end? bringing in the sheaves? what are sheaves?

Are You Being Serious???

@dinosammy1 I never said christians did that.  But Christianity is plagerized.  There are numerous documentaries on it, comparing it to the egyption religion.

@flyleaf4me Not if Lady Gaga has anything to say about it!  I prefer Lady Agag, which is the Amelikite king in 1 Samuel 15 that Samuel "hewed Agag to pieces".

@flyleaf4me I like your spirit! In fact, I love it. I would be happy if the old mannerisms would return. I feel people in the US South (I live in the North, in Chicago) are closer to the tradition than the northerns. We are kind of cold asses up here.
