The following is from the oronto Sentinel We republish it at the request f nhauy subsoribers. Because it referr d chiefly to Mr. A. M. Todd, of a� NEWS RECORD, we have a del racy about the chatter, on personal grou?ids. However, we shall overcome our scrup- les this time in order to gratify a large number of our readers. "Monday evening, the 8th inst., was an enj..yable one in the Orange Hall, Goderieh, it being the regular meeting of L. U. L. No. 153. After the routine of general business, the Worshipful Master rose and said that he and the lodge were very sorry indeed to learn that our esteemed brother, A. M. Todd, was about to sever his connection with the lodge. In order to show the high esteem and kind regard in which he was beld by the members, be (the Vas- ter) thought it as little as the mem- bers of the lodge could do wag to make Lim the recipient of an emblem and addless to remember them by. He would now call on Bro. James Craigie to carry out the wishes of the lodge. Bro Oreigie rose and read the following address : • To Bro. A. M. Todd, Chaplain, L. 0. L. No. 163 : DEAR SIR AND BROTHER,—We, the mem- bers of Loyal Orange Lodge No. 153, feel in duty Mound not to let this auspicious occasion pass without taking some means of conveying to you the respect in which you are held by us, and to express our regret• ba*Earn"Sng of your contemplated departure from amongst ui, While wo will regret your departure, we are glad to know that you are placing yourself in a better position; and that you wi.l,have a lunch wider sphere to labor and use your in- fluence in. During the few years of your re- sidence here, you have always taken an active at well as a brotherly part in the furtherance of the cause of our noble Order and its work- ings. While you did not neglect to fu• titer tho interests of our cause, you were always liberal in your views to all fellow• beings of every religious persuasion, which is the true principle of our noble Order. We have no doubt but that you will snake your mark in Clinton, and we can only say that your leaving us will be our loss and Clinton's gain. We ask the brethren of that place to extend to you the right hand of fellowship. Accept, dear brother, as a slight token of the resp:•et and high esteem in which you are held by us, this Gold Emblem of our f ll:stri. o is Order, and it is our carseat wish that the Master of the Grand Lodge above may long sprue you to wear it, and that you may long b? spared to be a worthy Orangeman, and an ornament to our beloved Society. Signed on behalf of the Lodge Ronani' Gowns, W. M. G1:oauE Sntt'rit, D. M. JAS. CRAIOH:, '1'ream•e•. Godcrith, January 801, 1883. The presentation was made by the Worshipful Master, who delivered a few very appropriate remarks in con- nectiontherewith. Bro. Todd wag com- pletely taken by surprise, and, after a few seconds deliberation, made the fol- lowing reply : Worshipful Sir, Deputy and Brethren : While here at our last meeting—which, by the way, was the night on which our election of officers took place, and ou which night I myself was elected' to the honorable position of Chaplain—little did I dream at that time that I would el soon leave you. But this is a world of many changes during a lifetime, ; and Iittle did I dream of being made the re- cipient of au address and pr:sent this evening. I feel as though it were more than I deserve, end I must say that -1 fool proud to know that the brethrou of this lodge hold more than an ordinary regard for roe, which is quite character- istics of the Orange Society. Although I am not a very old member of the Socio, ty, from the night on which I was initi- ated, I have always felt deeply int.r- c..ted in its welfare; and,.althor, In 1 may have gained the ill -will of some, I have always advocated without fear or favor what I considered was for the interests of the Orange cause. I have, never shirked what I considered it was Hey • duty to do; and more than that, I never will, although I would be very sorry at any time to convey a wrong meaning or impression of what I might say. I often read and think seriously of the bloody tl vs of hundreds of years ago --yes, and Cie bloody days within the last few years, both in the "old Lund" and this country --take for instance the cold- blooded murder of our late Bro. Hackett in ilontreal—when I read of such dark days I always arrive at the conclusion and think it strange that there aro not more Orangemen. It is iudc•od most heart-rending to read the history of Ire- land, and if those who do not believe in and cry down Oraugeisi n were to read and consider the past, they would not hesitate a moment as to the necessity of their belonging to the Orange Society. flub we want none but good men to fill our ranks ; Men that will meet their foes As Hien and herpes should, Who'll •let the, slave steal to his grave 'I'Ihat f. ars to shed his blond. We wall t gond nein- - Now tt,irlitss friends are few ; And when Wit close our gates agun, We'll then be all true blue. This goocl old lodge which I am about to leave, I must say, is cornpposed of as no a lot of men as you will find in old Huron. Our cause is daily gaining ground, and no puraon fools more proud than myself to see the cause of Orange - tem going onward. No other Society in tiro world has stood the teat liko that of the Orange, and to -day it stands on firm- er ground than it ever did before. Though the past year has boon a year of many wonders, we have no reason to complain. Earthquakes, stones by spa and land, pestilence, famine and sword, have all taken part in carrying out the designs of the Grand Master of the Universe. An open Bible, a full church, a free school, and peace and plenty, have boon our lot. Happy aro the people that are in such a case. Hero, our bo• laved Queen Ilea lived in the afTeotions of her law-abiding subjects ; and )here, iher representative, in the parson of her noble son in-law, occupies the highoat place in our esteem, and the warfopst in our affections. But above all, we should be thankful for a free religion. The backwoodsman, in the simplicity of this anedneated ntyln and manner, thr ows open the Bible and gathering hia wife and little ones around the family altar, he reads and explains; hia doors know no bolt and his Bible no ohnroh; while he- eeath the sl:afow of the cathedral; with with wide open doora, the minister at- tends to the duties $bis °barge, 'with, r party leering violence of the nob or the atrong arm of the law. In years gone by there were a muoh different state of affairs. Our forefathers often had to fear them both, the bishop and peasant finishing their oouree alike upon the scaffold, or amidst the flames of perse- cyltions ottest fire. We, my brethren are a b organized from among ever evangelic hurch in the land, to guard and protect our Bible , Christianity a- gainst any an4 every foe, and to thank God for the gret deliverance he brought about in dethrone one who would have sold his country to anise and Rome-; and to thank Him for raising up onie4+.n his stead who inaugurated civil and re- ligious liberty, that has brought down upon the heads of this nation untold blessings. That person was King William III., Prince of Orange and King of Eng- land. No doubt some of you know something about the brave Euniskilliners of 1688, who took upou themselves the r,>spousibility, without auy proferred aid whatever, to uphold the Protestant fa. h at all hazards; then the norther coun- ties formed themselves into defensive associations and publicly proclaimed the Prince of Orange, and declared if they were forced to take up arms it would be contrary to their iuclinations. They also declared that they would protect eyon Catholics from violence while their behaviour was peaceable and quiet. They were compelled to take these et -is for the preservaticu of their lives, laws and religiou The heads of these associations had before and after their names Honourable and Esquire. Tho association formed some '200 years ago is what is flow quite commonly called the Loyal Orange Associatiou, and I am proud of such a Society. It was and is right and_just„andavas endorsed by the crown of England. Perhaps some of you remember when the Enniskilleners proclaimed King William and Queen Mary, when shortly after the Governor of Enniskillen received a summons to submit to King Jannis, bthe reply that Izcfi:r James received was that tho brave Enniskilleners bore allegiauce to need but King William and Queen Mary. Here commenced the barbarity _ of the Romans, which wero quite frequent in those wars. Officers were captur.ld, who wore of the Protestant faith, and rather than submit to Realist' tyranny suffered the penalty of death; their heads were cut off and used as foot- balls by the enemy, en I afterwards placed ou top of the market house at I3eltuibet. Roman Catholiciani would be the sante to -day if it o.ily hadtlie power. Our Roman Catholic neighbors look upon us as an organized band of enemies, doing all in our power to oppress them. The views we hold and the principles we defend are at 'the bottom of the ciyicand religious liber- ties which they, with ourselves enjoy. We are an anti persecution society. Our society is composed of men of busi Hess, the Cabinet Minister, the Physician, the Preacher, and the Agriculturist and Lawyer—ever holding out, to the public gaze th.tt grand old motto, "Love the brotherhood,. fear (Ind, and honor the King." Again thanking you, brethren, for the confidence reposed in me ih the past, and hoping to merit a continuance of the same in the future, in conclusion I would say: Then hurrah for the Orange, IIuri•uln for the Blue, We will tight for it, die for it, and for the Purple too, For wo have hands, boys; wo have hearts, boys, full strong enough I ween To keep the Orange floating o'er the top of the green. PRESENTATION TO BRO. GORDON. After Bro. Todd's reply, Bro. R. Tichborne, on behalf of Bro. W. H. Murney, Asaocia,e to the Grand Lod&e,• and several oihr:s, preset •ed Bro. Robert Gordon, W. M. L. 0.

He also showed the ,rue principles of l)rangeiwD; what it hail clone iii establishing civil an l re ligions liberty all over the world, and what it is calculated to do. Time will not permit of nig giviug you a full re port, and it is not necessary, as Bro. Gordon is widely known as one of the most able speakers on Orangutan' in H u roti. • The firm of Messrs.
