The local lodge of Oddfellows about; ' ninety strong, accompanied by five or six members of le sa11Io d e attend- ed t sed divine service in the James street church on Sunday morning -last at the hour of 10,30 o'clock, rxlarshalIed by Post Grand He:tman. Rev. A. H. Going, pastor of the church, preached an appropriate • ser- mon from the text, found in Jeremiah V,verse 1, "Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know,and seek in -flee broad phtees thereof, if ye can find a Man." -King-David said to Solomon: "show thyself a man." A true man is the noblest wort; of God. God made man in his own image, but man had great- ly marred that image, until at times we were made to think that the image had almost forsaken the earth. Then there tises a man of Clar•istlike spirit and hope revives that man will throw off sin and rise to the piaker's design. Diogenes of aucie tit Greece went about "seeking a man." It has. been said that "an honest man is the noblest work of God." In that sense "honest" must be taken in itszoa1 • • l destnieaning In the narrow meaning of the word, honest does not fulfil the design of God, A. great Ileal of divine grace is needed to wash away the sins of man ,and leave him as it was intended he should be. High position in a social or poli- tical way is often tittles more a sign of ability than of divine worth. These high positions, are often gained, by questionable methods. Ideas of manliness vary. The sav- age admires a man of fine pbysieal strength. The intellectual man ad- mires the great mind, The spit•itually minded man adwir•es the divine image in man. It is a hard struggle for a man to get away. from the physical ideal. Itis bard to reach up to the highest type of manhood. No age pre- sents more dilculties than the pres- ent. Success to -day means the putting forth of great effort, since the material is emphasized more that the spiritual. Society and commerce of to -day are not good mouldsfor a spiritual life. True manliness is characterized. -by mercy, justice and truth. One is no a man if unjust nor truthful, and rner cy must have a large place in a man' heart. Combine there in your life and you will do well. Mercy isthe.greatest point. All three are attributes of God who is 'Ave. God and Love cannot be separated. Get a proper conception of God and try to live up to it. Do not blame Him for our own frailties. He has not left us in the dark if we desire the light. He gave his own Son as an example for all men. Piletesaid:"Brholdtheman," and that thought has conte ringing down through the ages. We have the more claim to manliness as we draw nearer to Christ. Then we will be willing to stiffer and to sacrifice as Christ has. The world is one vest brotherhood.. The people of all stations in life are brothers. All should be willing to help their brothers. By refusing to help a brother one shut himself out from the right to brotherhood. The speaker was glad that the Odd - fellows and all institutes are advanc- ing brotherhood, and bringing all into closer relationship. In this way they are helping to bring about God's pur- pose. "May God strengthen you." At the close of the service the breth- ern returned to the lodge' room and there passed a motion of thanks to Mr. Going, the trustees of the church, and the choir. In the afternoon about forty mem- bers cf Exeter Lodge drove to $ensall and attended service with the Hensail brethren. 11Zeeilltyray Geo. Lightfoot lost week moved theith coag.

Deceased was 78 years, 11 months and 5 days of n age. Mrs. King had been ill for Bever- is at weeks prior to her death and it wash known that it her age she' could not g Mug withstand the ravages of riis<*ase, therefore her demise was not entirrely. n unexpected. She was born in South -i ern England and early in life moved to a Canada, first settling in Woodstock, n where she met and married her bus - r band who predeceased- her about 19 _ years. Over fifty years ago they :allayed to Stephen township, then f nothing but a,big bush with here and there a settlers little clearing. With the customary energy and persever- _ ance of the pioneer 'they hewed out a horiie, for themselves on the farm on which she died. They resided there continually, and raised a family con- sisting of four sons and five daughters- who survive. They are James of For- est; Edward of Yale, Mich.; Albert on the homestead; Eli of Orediton; Mrs, _ Jos. Edwards of Crediton; Mrs. Chas. Seel of Oranbrook, Ont.; Mrs. Richard Canning of Clandeboye; Mrs. Chris. Baskerville of Oentralia, ancl _Mrs. Silalsj. Brokenshire of Sharon.
