W, Ribbert, who is also the Master of L, 0. L. No. 791. Mr. Hibbert stated that it was some- what of a coincidence that four years ago at his first Sunday evening ser- vice as pastor of that church he had addressed the Orange brethren and now at his last service in the same church be was to address the same Association, The Reverend gentleman took for his text the 7th verse of the 7th chapter of the book of Judges. -"And the Lord said unto Gideon "By the three hun- dred men that lapped will I save ,you and deliver the Midianites into thine hand; and let all the other people go every man unto ins pace." He hand- led the familiar old story of Gideon in an able manner, "These men teach us three great lessons," he said, "Patriot - 'ism, Fraternity and Consecration, and these three ought to be the character• istics of, not only every Orangeman but of every Canadian citizen. One of the accusations hurled at the Orange Association is that it is a divider among meu." He continued,• "How can that be when our watchward is 'A United Canada, one school, one language and one flag.' Surely there is no division there. He explained clearly the vast difference between stirring up strife and revealing- disloyalty, Why cry Peaces Peace! when there is no peace. In Quebec only 6,079 Frenchmen have enlisted in this great war and in 1911 Quebec had a population of 2,000,- 000 which is now greatly increased. If Canada had responded in a like manner it would have meant that instead of the present azbny of 111,000 men we would only have given 25,000 men. 125,215 Luglieh speaking natives of Canada have enlisted and 155,0955'Brit- ish born Canadians. Of Canada's army 80,000 are Orangemen or sons of ,Orangemen according to the statement of Sir Sam Hughes. The Frenchman has said, we are not defending Canada, probably not, for no ehell has fallen upon Canadian Soil or no battleship hae hammered on our shores, but the trenches of Canada are truly in France and Flanders, for Canada's honor is at stake. He showed how the fraternal spirit which was exhibited by the Gideona would be even more noticeably when this war was over, for, are not million- aires, professional men and;laborere rubbing shoulders with each other in the trenches? And men will not be judged by their birth or wealth kart by their worth, hence anew era of t hinge will dawn, and the good old Orange motto "Equal rights to all and special privileges to none" will dominate. Dealing with the third great lesson taught by the Gideons "Consecration", he said "July 12th will ever be held by Orangemen in blessed memory of the Battle of the Boyne, but the Lord's Day coming with greater fregt*iency is of far more importance. It is also the celebration of a victory, for on thab day our our Lord conquered death in hie resurrection, In closing Mr. Hibbert sail that one of hie deepest regrets at leaving WIng- ham was that he would not be hero to welcome home the soldier lads whom he had seen go away, but he promised to remember them daily in his prayers. Ile also expressed regret at severing hie connection with the citizens of Wingham in general as he had al- ways been received as a brother by the other denominations sof the town. After returning to the Lodge room, Mr. W. J. Greer in a few words ex- plained that the Ortengemen bad been disappointed for they intended pre. senting their Worshipful Master with a Past Mastec's Jewel but it had not yet arrived. Short speeches express- ing regret at losing Me, Htbbert from among us were delivered by A. H, Musgrove, M. L. A, I3, E. Isard, D. 0. Taylor and D. Spence of Lucknow. It was monad by Mayor McKibbon and• seconded by T. 3. McLean that a hearty vote of thanks be tendered to the pastor for his excellent dis- course, also to the choir, and to the Board of Managers of the church for their hospitality, to which Mr. Hibbert made a suitable reply in which he thanked the brethren for their kind- ness end for their giving him a Past Master's jewel.
