SPLENDID SERMON
The Exeter (Lodge of Oddfellows
attended Divine Worship in Main St.
United Church on Sunday evening
and despite the inclement weather
there was a large attendance. The
Brethren gathered at the lodge room
and paraded to the church occupying
the centre pews. The pastor, Rev,
Mr. Elliott, dqjivered a sermon that
was well received hy the Brethren
taking for his subject the parable of
the Good Samaritan.
The speaker said that two of
most exquisite stories found in
literature are stories found in
New Testament both written
Luke., one of the most human inter
preters of all who nad anything to
do with the writing of the Bible.
The two stories are the Prodigal
Son and the Good Samaritan. The
story of the Good Samaritan starts
out with a theological argument and
later we find we are helping a
wounded man by the wayside. It be
gins with a question concerning
eternal life and ends with paying
board at a certain hotel. A certain
lawyer stood up and asked “Master
what should I do to inherit eternal
life." We find him asking the ques
tion of questions. Was he sincere
or was he mocking? Jesus, at any
rate, considered the. lawyer in earn- ] little son Kenneth, who passed away
est by treating the question serious- on Wednesday, April 21st, aged 10
ly. Then Jesus answered the months. The funeral, private,
lawyer by asking another ques-, was held on Friday- afternoon con-
tiou, and in answer to the law- ducted by Rev. T. Luft with inter-
yer’s question “who is my neighbor”
Jesus told

soul. Today we hear, much about
unions, organizations and societies
when we ought to confine our atti
tude to the individual. The distance
from Jerusalem to Jericho was about
twenty miles and in places the road
is steep, rocky and dangerous and
infested with bandits. A certain man
fell among thieves who stripped him
of his raiment and left him foi' dead.
We assume this man was a Jew if
not the story is greatly weakened.
It is a picture of callousness and
cruelty. In this twentieth century
there is a good deal of physical vio
lence. Men today have their physical
bodies bruised or beaten, but there
are ways more subtle and cruel to
break a man. It is possible to break
a man’s
womans

And by chance there came down a
certain priest that way and when he
saw him he passed by on the other
side. The priest had possibly
ished his service in Jerusalem,
was a representative of religion
he forgot to practice mercy,
missed an opportunity. There
people who do not connect religion
with: life and life with religion. This
priest did not seem to realize that
God was mere interested in a
wounded man than he was in all the
ritual of the temple. Whatever val
ue Jesus placed -upon the institu
tions like he did on human life. Un
less the service of God’s house helps
to make us more brotherly then
they are not of much use. Further
more it is one thing to memorize
the ritual of a lodge, to tell about
the symbols and the allegories, but
if that is all that it means it does
not amount to much. If getting up
the work leads a brother to put it
into practical use outside of the
lodge then it is worth while.
Likewise a Levite came and look
ed and passed by on the other side.
He had his place in the service of
the temple. He looked and did noth
ing. Have you heard of people or
■organizations making surveys and
then doing nothing. But a certain
Samaritan came where he was. If
you want to do anyone good go to
the place. There had been long em-
nity between Jew and Samaritan.
We see the beauty of the incident in
a man who renders his service to an
enemy. He had to overcome racial
rancour and religious prejudice. You
know what he did; placed him on his
beast, paid for his keep at the hotel.
The finest thing about the man’s
religion was that it was practicable.
He could not leave his brother in
such a plight. Jesus asked the
question “Which then was neighbor
unto -him.” Who is my neighbor?
The man in the next street, yes?
Your neighbor is the man in need
wherever he may be, in whatever
country ihe may dwell, to whatever
church he belongs and whatever co
lour of his skin, he is a neighbor.
And so it behooves us not only to
learn the ritual but to practice and
encourage the brotherhood or relig
ion and the religion of brotherhood,

Official Forecast That Eggs Will Be Scarce From September to
January . . . Chicks and pullets for May Delivei-y
at Prices You Don’t Expect Till June
There always has been money in May chicks, when you bought
quick-growing stock that would develop to laying at .five months
old. Five months from May is October, which is right in the high-
egg-price season.
This year’s opportunity for May chicks is probably the best it has
ever been. You can buy chicks or started pullets today, for May
delivery, at prices you don’t expect till the middle of June. You
have the Department of Agriculture’s 'Official forecast that eggs
will be scarce (and, therefore, high-priced) from September to
January. And there is every likelihood that feed prices will drop
away down, as soon as this season’s crop is harvested. The fellow
who has eggs to sell between September and January should be able
to more than make up for the past Winter’s unfavorable situation.
Buy Started Pullets That Will Lay in September
We can supply you with pullets that are well started, and will be
laying in early September (or before) if well fed through the range
period. They are How three to ten weeks old, and they are from
our fambus “Xtra-Profit" stock which has built up a country*wide
reputation for rapid development, early eggs, large egigs, and the
necessary ruggedness to< stand continued heavy laying without
moults or set-backfe. We have any number of reports showing “Xtra-
Profit” pullets up to 50$ production at Six months old, and contin
uing at 50% to 7.0% production through the entire Fall and Winter
We can give you. your choice of seven popular breeds. Pullets three
weeks old and upward in all breeds, and up to 10 weeks in some
breeds,ft
Some Brices Reduced $7.00 per Hundred
We are igoing to clear these pullets in May, at prices away below ohr
April quotations. We can also supply day-old chicks And SexCd
pullets, in all breeds, at Correspondingly low prices-—for immediate
delivery. ((Some ot o-ur May prices are $7.00 per hundred lower
than previously published in this pdpet.) They are the most out
standing values- we have ever offered to the poultry-raising public.
