ORANGE CELEBRATION Continued from page 1 Speakers ” Following the monster parade the fife and drum contests, speak ing and sports program was held in the Fair grounds. Huron County Master Ed. Faulder, was chairman and the first speaker was Reeve W. D. "Sanders, of Exeter, who gave the Orangemen a hearty welcome. Rev. Jas. Anthony of Motherwell formerly of Thames Road was the first speaker: Rev. James Anthony of Mother- well spoke briefly : First he men tioned the character of King Wil liam of Orange, the silent austere monarch whose one aim was the establishment of liberty in Europe, a .caus© to which he gave himself to the limit of his powers that have been the marvel of the world. Next Mr Anthony dealt with the topic “The Orangeman at Work.” Not the orangeman resting on the achievements of the past, not the orangeman the dupe of the politic ians, not the orangeman of the lodgeroiom nor the parade but the orangeman who was putting his best into his home, 'into his busi ness, into his church. “When one passes through a town w.hy should he not be able to point' to the best store, to the best workshop, to the best school to the best church and say there is where an orangeman has been a.t work, I know it by its excellence.” In days like these when so many folk are anxious abou’t the freer sale, of wine and beer would it not' be fine to find when next we are rous ed by the .beating of the drum and the stirirng music of the fife to. find that every orangeman has through the year been characterized by his sobriety, by his self control? At this time why .should we not exemplify our principles seeing that no man makes a nuisance of himself by the use of intoxicants. Let u.& excel our fathers by doing more than they Orangemen at work.” Harold Watson, of London, grand marshal for Ontario West, was .sec ond speaker. He outlined the his tory of the order and William of Orange’s conqest for protestantism. Bringing his story up to date Mr. Watson explained the stand of the order for on© public school, one flag and a united Empire. “The Orange Order deserves the support of every Protestant. Don’t judge the order or the Christian church by their weakest members, but by their principles as yiou know them to be.” Ushered in Era F. W. Sutton, London, grand lec turer for Ontario West, declared that the Battle of the Boyne brot about an era of civil and religious freedom and warned the Orange men that' they must guard or lose that freedom. He urged that no more concessions be given the sep arate schools in Ontario or to the Roman Catholics in the matter of bi-lingttalism. "“I deplore the activities of cer tain opportunist Orangemen and any others who would make a po litical football of the Orange order. The order is n.on-political and must remain so. But it must also stand firmly for its principles,” he said. Rev. J. K. Curtis, of Delenvare, formerly, of Ailsa Craig, was tlie speaker. He lauded the activity of the Orange order and declared that every lodge is a sentinel for prptes- tantism. He declared that the Orangehien must continue their vigilance to protect the protestant KHIVA Mr. and Mrs. Fred Sluntz and son and grandson, of Buffalo; Mr. Jacob Ratz, of Crediton; Mr. and Mrs. Burke and Mr. Albert Held, of Kitchener, and Mr. Billy Held and Margaret Held, of Dashwood, called on Mr. and Mrs. J.
