W. Baird On their return to the Lodge a. vote' of thank was ter;:desled Rev. i41r. Batird for hi appropriate sermon, and the Truseee of the Church for the'privilege of the use of the church on the ,occasion. In wejcoming the .beethren to th siervice Rev. Baird .commented oar th fact that they were celebrating th Centennial of Oddeelichvship in Am erica, the first Lodge having been, sleeted at Baltimore on 'April 26, sp 181,9. Rev. Mr. Baird took for his subjee "The genus of Bedtherhood." and his text from ii tth.ew 23, 8-9, "For one Is your master, ever>I Christ; and all ye are brelthren; and, call no man your father upon the earth, for one is your father Which is in heaver\.,, He pointed out that there is a gr change corning over, the people, of the woi4d. In the early days the strop enslaved the wes , and the rich op- pressed the poor. Germany iliustrat ed this even in late. years, Thelchang is one of spirit—the suint of brother hood, :or togetheredniess, We seethi spirit 'shown when a eatasitraohe or a famine overtakes one part of the world Other nation's go to their asais.tatope, Barothcr.hotod does riot imply actual equality. There may be great diver- sity of talent even in brothers. Much greater differences are shown in races One person is flitted 'for one kind of work, another for other work, or once is much beter fitted for a work than anoTthen So also n ith nations These tdifferences must be recognized Any social idea :that tries to put al on the same level .is wrong. Bolehcv ism is Wrong in that it tries to reduce all men to a level in spite of differ cnces of training and natural, ability. Brotherhood does hot require equal- ity in. all things —not event In matters of canes or eociat standing; Still all men are brothers. brotherhood does impel an equality of opportunity.

While admitting that it is easier to criticize than find the remedy, Mr. Baird said he believed the government could do something. He deplored th waste of cream for ice) cream, andthle holding of excessive quantities of pro- duce in cold storage—quoting the amounts which ran iota millions. Thio is not shoaling a spirit of brotherhood because the 'strong shoueld help the Weak, the rich assist the poor. O$dfellowship is an expaeesion of brothet'hood. The League of Nations is another expression of brotherhood. To beep the less fortunate, and to de- fend and protect the Little nations.. The action of the British Empire in flying to the defence of Belgium is the first great example of national brotherlhoods We in. Canada and the Empire see the examtyle, and if a 'truer brotherhood results the fight shall not have been in vein. The League of Nations is a great attempt to prevent further wars.
