Hawkins, of Seaforth, formerly of Elimville, who passed away at her home on Friday at the age -of eight months and 28 days. The child had been ill only a short time with pneumonia of the brain. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. T. A. Carmiichael, of Northside United church, Sea­ forth. Among those from this com­ munity who' attended the funeral were Mrs. C. W. Kestle, Mrs. Geo. Hunter, Mr. John Brock, Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Clarke, Mr. David Clarke, Miss L. Beavers, and Mr. and Mrs. John Simpson. The sympathy of many friends will be extended to the bereaved. Ex- Hubert Hunter, Mrs. I. O. O. F. ATTEND CHURCH Members of the Exeter I. 0. O. F. celebrated the anniversary of the Order by parading to the James St. United Church -on Sunday evening for divine service. Visitors were pres­ ent -from Hensail, Brucefield and Parkhill lodges, numbering in all over seventy-five and these occu­ pied the centre pews of the church. The -oldest gentleman in the parade was Bro, B. S. Phillips', w.ho is in his 89 th year and who has been a member of the -order for forty-six years. The oldest member of the lodge, present on this occasion was Bro. James Jewell, who is now in his 54th year as a member. The parade was marshalled by Bro. W. W. man. The choir of the church der the direction’ -of Mr. W. Goulding provided two anthems, duet was sung by Cutbush, and Chas. pastor, Rev. J. H. Stainton, preach­ ed a very impressive sermon taking for his theme, "The Man in the Ditch" based on- the parable of ‘The Good Samaritan.’ In opening his remarks he referred to a picture by a French artist “The Man with the Hoe” in which the artist tries to draw the attention of the French people to the unfair position of the French peasants. He also referred to the boqk by Edward Markham "The Man in the Ditch” which des­ cribes the conditions of millions of our race. The speaker during the war had travelled :in- Japan, China, Straits -of Malay, Africa, Arabia, Af­ ghanistan, Egypt, Persia and other places. In -describing some of the conditions he saw; -he said that there were hundreds of thousands of hu­ man' beings not nearly as well cared for as our cattle and hogs. God only knows that the conditions of mil­ lions of people in our western world is bad enough but in- some of the older countries of Europe and Asia they are intolerable. He spoke of those who are yet unborn who are destined to live their lives in the ditch. In the next twenty years six hundred million must be born and live their lives in such conditions. In the light of the brotherhood of man these things are not fair. Not only it is n-ot fair but it is not safe to have a down trodden people. The "Red Internationale” is now being sung in different parts of Canada. Unless we extend the rights of hu­ man brotherhood to the man in the ditch they will some day rise up and curse us. Think of the thousands of lepers in the cities of Madras, Bombay and Calcutta. Then thank the stars in heaven that you were born in- a Christian home and a Chris­ tian country. Our business as a brotherhood should be to make it impossible to be born in conditions above described. The priest in the parable of the Good -Samaritan represented organ­ ized religion which passed by on the other side of the road. D. L. Moody, the evangelist, was once riding on a train when a 'bruised an-d intoxicat­ ed man sat down beside him. He had the man removed and the conductor who removed him took the man to the baggage car and dressed his wounds. That same night Mr. Moddy confessed to a large audience that he himself had been the priest of the parable who had passed by on the other side. The priest may have been sympathetic but 'pressing duties on. We has not man- in Church of the Mr. Everett A. Betts, who ber of years ago, conducted ery -business in Exeter, died home in Brampton Tuesday week after a brief illness. Born Kenmount, Ont., Mr. Betts had been a resident of Brampton for the past thirteen years. He is survived by his widow, a son James and two daugh­ ters, Mrs. Wm.

Shapton had the misfor­ tune to fracture a rib when he was thrown from a wagon on Monday. Mr. Shapton was delivering a young animal intended for the beef ring and it was thought that the animal was securely tied in the wagon, when in some manner it got loose and the first thing that Mr. Shapton knew was that he and the beast were both out of the wagon, Mr. Shapton be­ ing injured in the fall.

For the first time in Exeter appeal to assist the Institute of Blind is being made. The Boy Scouts, C.G.I.T. girls- and the Women's In­ stitute -members are in charge of this campaign.

In Russia the came under the control wealthy -classes when the proletariat rose up and threw out the church and the level of the gospel must start all over again. The Levite, representing big busi­ ness, next came along. We must be fair to big business which makes contributions to the state and to our economic conditions. Big business provides work for thousands of fam­ ilies; they make thein contributions to help the man in the ditch. But big business such as Vickers Limited the Krupp Works and Bethlehem Steel passed by during the time of the war and left twenty million dead on the fields of battle. The Good Samaritan- recognizing neither race nor religion lent a helping hand to the injured man. The I.O.O.F. has some beautiful stories of its1 care of the widow and the orphan, bearing each others sorrows and sharing each other® woes but there is still a great work to be done in going be­ yond our national boundaries and lifting the load of the man in the ditch.
