MASONS AT CHURCH Order Hears Splendid Sermon by Rev. J. H. Sfaintou The brethren of Lebanon Forest Lodge No. 133, A. F. & A. M. to­ gether with a number of visitors paraded to the James Street United church Sunday evening for Divine worship. D.D.G.M, Right Wor. Bro. W, H. Gregory, of Stratford, was present for the occasion as was also Past D.D.G.M,, Right Wor. Bro. L. R. Coles, of Hensall. The brethren, about seventy in number, occupied the centre pews of the church. The pastor, Rev. J. H. Stainton, preached a- most accept­ able sermon taking for his subject: “The Building of the Temple of Hu­ manity,” his text being taken from Zach. 4:6. “Not by might, nor by power but by my spirit, saith the Lord.” The first great effort to build the temple of humanity was made by Abraham. Dwelling in a tent he looked for a city of habita­ tion whose builder and maker is God. Civilization at that time was weighed in the balance and found wanting; a civilization in which there were rights for the few and not for the many. Abraham went out to build a city in which faith, hope and humanity would prevail; a temple in which the supreme place would be given to the Great Archi­ tect of the Universe and the brother­ hood of man would be exemplified. We see Abraham in his new home deciding to put faith first when reason was sacrificed on the altar of faith through Isaac, jacob’s ladder with the rungs of justice, mercy, truth and love is a wonderful ladder on which to climb to a mansion in the skies. Woe unto the man in whose life there is no ladder. Solo­ mon dedicated his early life to the building of the temple on that very spot. Inside the temple he estab­ lished the ark and the two tables oi stone on which were written the commandments, Solomon consecrat­ ed his early life but his anchor was not well grounded and in his old age the kingdom wa» civlded. Years after the city and the temple were destroyed. They were rebuilt and destroyed at various times until un­ der Titus the temple was destroyed never to be rebuilded as a Christian shrine. The speaker had visited most of the old shrines and to-day they are practically all owned by Mohammedans. The speaker said that we must set our backs to the walls if we are to rebuild this old civilization. He had visited fourteen different nations and fifty per cent, of the people are not as well off as our horses, our cow or dog. He had seen hundreds of thousands low in the gutter of humanity; slaves in ignorance and sin. It was a disgrace that there should be one leper on the streets; that slaves should be driven to the mines, or that a baby in Toronto should die frdm malnutrition. It was a disgrace that a man should be forced to come to your door and ask for bread. If we do not lift up the. fallen they will one day rise and overthrow the world. The world nearly went over the precipice dur­ ing the past three years. Mr. Stainton referred tb condi­ tions in India, in China and in Rus­ sia. He finds himself sympathiz­ ing with the masses In Russia that drove out the proletariat. He criti­ cised Great Britain for adding to her territory through the treaty of Ver­ sailles. J'apan copied her and ex­ ploited Manchuria and at the Lea­ gue of Nations she produced pictures of the salt mining industry in In­ dia; of African slavery; of the opium traffic and of foreign ports controlled by the British. He spoke of Vickers Limited sending imple­ ments of war to Japan and of trying to create a war. Churches and so­ cial orders have been trying to de their little bit but are stuck in the mud. We have been trying to use might to build the kingdom. The Galilean took for his sword, his power and might the Sermon on the Mount and he has swayed the world. The speaker had heard masons say that they love the ritual of the or­ der, the symbols, the banquets and the fellowships but he had never heard anything about their prayers. If we fail in being in tune with the Infinite we fail everywhere. The choir sang two anthems and Miss Pearl Wood sang a solo. On their return to the lodge a vote of thanks was passed expressing appre­ ciation of the splendid sermon also to the choir and officials of the church. PR, M. STRANG SPEAKS Over 150 Persons Turned Away From Caven Church Sunday The largest crowd that was ever tucked away in Caven Presbyterian Church was present on Sunday morn­ ing to honor Dr. Margaret Strang, missionary of the Peace River dis­ trict in Alberta, who is home on va­ cation and who addressed the con­ gregation. Long after the church was packed the ushers kept filling up every available nook and corner with chairs even to the choir loft and even then there were more than 150 who were disappointed at not being able to get in. The minister, Rev. Mr. Rhodes, stated that his was a pleasant duty, esteemed more highly than any priv­ ilege he had had during his four years ministry. Caven church had in that time welcomed to her pul­ pit many outstanding men, including two moderators, but the church was more highly hon­ ored in welcoming one of her own old, young people. The name of Dr. Margaret .Strang is a household word in Presbyterian work in Can­ ada. Caven church can have no greater cause for pride than that the name of Dr. Margaret Strang can be found on her communion roll We honor her for her work but we honor her more for her own self. The Peace River District Dr. Strang in opening ner remarks stated that the world was wide but that she had never seen or expected to'see a place more beautiful than home. In referring to Mr. Rhodes’ remarks she stated that far nobler and far worthier persons had addressed the congregation. If credit was coming to her it was due the Lord and Master, she served. Dix­ onville, in the peace River district, was not so very far away. Twenty years ago very little was known about the Peace River country. It is 35'0 miles north of Edmonton. Early settlers went in over trails by wagon. Now there is steel both sides of the river and a highway as good as any when dry and unspeak­ able when not dry. Beyond the Peace River lie large territories yet to be opened up. Folks from all over Canada and from central Eur­ ope have come into the district to establish homes. They bring with them their needs. ' Three years ago in the beginning of their enterprise they were caught in the depression caught without markets. They could- not sell the little things that help to finance the housenom. They live in log shacks and are getting on. With the government opening new roads they were able Vo earn a little money in this way. Many of them had only $50,00 to carry them over the winter. These people, who had learned W depend on the things they buy, had to learn to do things for themselves. They have learned tc make soap, grind grain, card and weave wool, roast wheat to make coffee. Desperate as their situation is they never let you know their destitution, but living with them you find it out. , Dixonville is in the centre of be­ tween six and eight hundred square ■miles. Eighty per cent, of the people speak English. They are mostly bachelors. It is a great place for the women, said the speaker, they never stay single long. These people have the same hopes and fears as the rest of us and one touch that makes the whole world kin is the love of the Heavenly Father. To be engaged in the particular work that Dr. Strang is engaged in one needs not to be particular. There is a little of everything to do. The church, is built of logs as is also the manse. The work comes under three headings, missionary, medical and relief, all closely interwoven. Gifts Appreciated Dr. Strang expressed appreciation of the gifts sent from Caven Sunday S*chool last Christmas and distribut­ ed at a Christmas concert. It was all the Christmas some of them had. The doll or toy distributed at that time was possibly the only toy in the home. The gifts of clothing found a very necessary place. A (Continued on page 4.) The many friends of Mrs. M. R. Complin, who recently suffered a serious motor accident will “be pleas­ ed to know that she is holding her own. She is at present in the Fisher Memorial Hospital at Woodstock, N. B. The directors of the Huron Weather Insurance Mutual Company met on Friday last and reviewed the losSe# guttered by the Recent windstorm. The losses will run to over $30,000 and all claims will tie paid in full.
