BARN OF JAMES DIXON ALSO BLOWN DOWN During the .cyclone which passed over this section Tuesday of last week a barn on. the farm of Mr. Jas. Dixon, second concession of McGilli­ vray, was completely demolished. Parts of the barn were blown for considerable distance. The steel shingles of the barn were carried to a nearby bush and found a resting place against the trees. One of the unaccountable freaks of the storm was that it took a board from the flooring underneath one of the wheels of a threshing machine let­ ting one side of the machine down. Across the road from Mr. James Dix­ on steel shingles were rolled up on a barn belonging to Mr. Earl Dixon. The verandah of the house was blown down and the woodshed damaged.

BISHOP SEAGER AT MASONIC S$RVICE Lebanon Forest Lodge A.F. & A. M. which has held several outstand­ ing gatherings in observing the 75th anniversary of the order, further celebrated the occasion on Sunday afternoon by attending Divine ser­ vice in Trivitt Memorial church. The special speaker on this occasion was Rt. Rev. C. A. Seager, M. A., D. D., L.L.D., Lord Bishop of Huron. Among the distinguished visitors present was the Most Wor, the Grand Master, of Ontario, Frank A. Copus. of Stratford, who took part in the service by reading the Scripture lesson. The brethren assembled at the lodge room and paraded -to the Church under the leadership of Past D.D.G.M., Rt. Wor. Bro. Thomas Pryde. Among the lodges represent­ ed were those of Hensall, Clinton, Seaforth, Goderich, Brussels, Strat­ ford, St. Marys, Parkhill, Lucan, In­ gersoll, Norwich, London, Wood- stock, Strathroy and Hanover. Four ruling district deputy grand masters were present in the persons of R. J. Bowman, of Brussels; G. H. Jeffer­ son, of Clinton; W. H. Kipp, of Lon­ don and R. Warren, of Ingersoll and past D.D.G.M. Rt. Wor. Bro. E. W, White, of St. Marys. About 160 per­ sons were in the parade. The choir provided splendid music for the occasion the soloists in the anthem being Mrs. N. J. Dore and Arthur Middlemiss. Mr. Seager took for his subject Matthew 4:4 “Men shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” He said that he wa® pleas­ ed to be present on this occasion of the 75 th Anniversary of Lebanon Forest Lodge. He stated that men do not' live by bread alone but by idea© and ideals. Blessed are those who find those ideas and ideals their delight. Symbolically they are the will of God towards men. At times this dods not appear to be true. In prosperous times men are dominat­ ed by love of money and what It stands for. On the other hand in day of depression, of perils and dangers, dire need©, stress of busi­ ness, peril of family life emphasis is •put on material things and seem to emphasize the importance of mak­ ing money. The struggle for exist- ance is at all times a serious thing. On the surface of things it would seem that the struggle for material things seems the chief concern of life. The instinct is for the propo- gation of life. Men toil for exist-, ence year in and year out as do the birds of the air and the beasts of the field©. The driving force of neces­ sity is to keep ourselves alive. All that is merely on the surface, un­ derneath are the principles, theories and conceptions of mankind that make life really worth while. The Lord was not speaking of a theory when he said that man does not live by bread alone but by ideas and ideals. The inception of Lebanon Forest Lodge carries us back to I860, a time of stress and transition in this great country of ours. ■ There was struggle for responsible govern­ ment, the achievement of which meant more than bread. It meant a new freedom. Another idea yearning in the pub­ lic mind of that day was that of confederation. How colossal was the proposition. Underneath the surface of the struggles in those days; a struggle against depression and financial need; beneath the struggle against the fight for bread, this new idea took root in the hearts of the people until it became an accomplished fact. There was short sighted, superstition and fear that our financial and other inter­ ests might suffer in such a confed­ eration. Today we are rebuked by our want’ of faith in the future of mankind. When Lebanon Forest Lodge was founded it was founded between the emergence of two ideals; one of re­ sponsible government and the other of confederation. The whole story of man is a story of struggle, of fight and indestructible hope foi* deeper and finer and greater things than the struggle for existence. The ©peaker said that we again stand at a stransition mile between two great epochs. The old antiquat­ ed world of 1914 is different than the world of today. There is hardly one trace of the old thread that we can take up and trace It through to­ day. 'Out of the change has come a new conception of God in the minds of men; a new understanding of the Great Architect of the Uni­ verse. There is more belief in a Su­ preme Being than there has been for many generations. Because of this new conception there are fewer atheists. Another change Is the con­ ception of morality. The develop­ ment of the morality of our genera­ tion is on. a larger scale. There is springing up an altogether different experience of our responsibilities to our fellow men. There is emerging a new Sense of the responsibility of every man for every othei* man; a social order that will profoundly ef­ fect every relationship of our lives. In such a period of transition we will make mistakes, bad mistakes, but shall we face the future with fear? That Would bo a foolish thing because the future will come whether we wish it or not. Whatever that new epoch may be it would be a hold man who could define it but We may move forward into the future with torches in each hand and may find that that future will be light. (Continued on j>age 4,) HANDSOME DISPLAYS The tulip display around town, this spring has been exceedingly beauti­ ful but of the» many displays few can excell in quality those grown by Mr, Norman Norry, They have been at their best during the past week. Mr, Norry has many imported varieties and the sizes and colors have /been magnificent. For numbers, we doubt if any have grown more than Mr. B. Harness. He has one bed in which there must have been several thou­ sand bloom. It was just -one mass of variegated color. Some (beautiful .varieties were among them. Mr, Har­ ness states that he gave away over fifteen hundred tulips and these were hardly missed from his garden. On the porperty also is a perennial ibed containing many varieties of flowers that start blooming early in the spring and continues until the frost cuts the flower* down in the fall. But’ the credit for this bed goes to Mrs. Harness a© this is her special delight and care. It is well worth a visit for any flower lover tn see. Many persons have visited both of these places during the past few days. Mr. Norry also takes a par­ ticular delight in gladioli and he now has over 5,000 bulbs planted out.
