ATTEND CHURCH Exeter Lodge No. 67, I.O.O.F. celebrated the aniversary of the or der by attending divine worship in James Street United church Sunday evening. The brethren, numbering seventy-five, assembled at the lodge rooms and under the leadership of Marshall E. Howald, paraded to the church where they occupied the centre pews. The pastor, Rev. D. McTavish, preached a very fine ser mon and the choir furnished some splendid music. Taking his text from the “Good Samaritan” the preacher pointed out that the priest and the Levite rep resented those who by official and external associations might be ex pected to assist. He declared that the priest represented that type of fellow who allowed his priestliness to blight his humanity and he af firmed that men were either better or worse for the privileges and as sociations they enjoyed. He point ed out how easy it is to close our hearts to appeals because they are not direct or clamorous and warned against any narrow provincialism that woiild draw a circle around its own crowd. Oddfellows ought to be Good Samaritans and as such should be filled with a love that knows no bounds; that is prepared to overleap all barriers, that it may assist those who are in need, it is their ‘duty to give men a lift, not only by pouring, oil on the wounds but by placing the wounded in a position where the? may recover and where they are no longer open to attacks from thieves. “Oddfellows,” he de clared, “should be arranged one hundred per cent, against all forms of social injustice, all kinds of in dustrial oppression, everything that hinders men from the highest and best. Oddfellows should be pro motors of all law and its enforce ment that makes for justice, tem perance, sobriey and thrift, and'that drives out the thieves and robbers from our midst.” In conclusion ho added a note of Warning not to make one’s lodge their church.’” “Never,” said the speaker, “let Oddfellowship dint the wider vision of Christian fellowship, never substitute the rules of a society for the laws of Christ, hut in friendship, Jov< truth go forth to copy the theheedingSamaritan, ever __ __„loir’s command ‘Go and Do Likewise.’ ” On their return to the lodge 1 and Good Sav- Thou on tneir return to the lodge room a hearty vote of thanks was tender ed to Mr. McTavish, the officials of the church and the choir.
