Address and I'resentation�.
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

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.

one of the oke, old EDDiskilliners, Ire
very feelingly thanked there for tea

and instructive rep y, of which the ful-
loaltig is a synopsis.
Ile said he did Dot think that, he de-
served a pre..ini, for the services he had
rendered. Be was an Oraugerwio of

which lie was in fluty hound to do. 'Ile
their dealt with the formation of Oran-
grtiisin at considerable length, cle:il•ly
sbowi ig that those who cry down our
r time -sally do Dot know whet e 0111;1 g -
ism first sprung up. 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.

most able speakers on Orangutan' in
