Office of their f census and
statistics for Canada, are inclined to
believe there, are eight and three-quar-
ter million people in the country at
the present .time. They admit, how-
ever that it is merely a. calculationand
that the figure may prove to be con-
siderably higher. When the census
of the three prairie prolrinces was
taken in 1916 officials looked for an
increase of 16 per cent for the five
years but it proved to be 26 per
cent. Abnormal conditions during
the pest few years has made it hard
to estimate the population.
The school gardea is a .big class
roomfor outdoor instruction in plants
and plant life. It has many of the pos-
sibilities En miniature of an experi-
mental farm. It has to do with the
composition and fertility of soils
with drainage with seed germination
and Witt. insect enemies sof plant life,
It shows the effect ?upon plants of
WO much or too little sunshine or
moisture, end the bad effects of the
weeds, and the necessity of giving a
plant nlentvsof room if we with to
secure ki high state of development.
These things mean nothing if taught
from books or told by teachers. But
from boat'- or told by 'teachers, But
taught tbrough a garden where the
children prepare ithe soul, sow the
seeds, and care for the plants cannot
be without good results. There is a
wide field of usefulness in the school

I. 0 0. F. AT CHURCH.
o
Exeter Oedfellorvs, together with a
number ,of Howell brethren, attended
Clivine service in Trivitt Afemorial
hurch ton Sunday evening last. They
were marshalledto and from the
church by Past Grend Taman.; On
their Return, Ito the lodge room votes -
of thanks were tendered to the War -
.)ens for the privilege of attending the
churchservice, to the Rector for the
instructive and approprivate sermon,
to the choir for tha bright and pleas-
ing musical service, and to the visit-
ing brethren.
After welcoming the Oddfellows to
the church the rector, Rev. Trumper,
said,—"Your presence in the church
to -night is a. recognition that Christ
founded the Great Brotherhood, I
trust that this hour i11 the church
may be of benefit and that the Odd
fellow.. will go forth to greater friend
ship and greater fellowship."
Rev. Trumper took his text from
Luke 10.29 "Who is my neighbor?"
and in, part he said, --
"'We must bear in mind that this
question strikes the key note of the
great parable of Charity, or as now
called Love. The question was sug-
gested by some outward incident. We
oto no know just where it took place,
tut know that it was near Bethany
the home of Afartha and Mary, on the
no ad from Jerusalem to Jericho, the
serene of the great parable of the
Good Samaritan: The scene is Tough,:
of mountain and valley; of beauty but
cheerless as ,one could imagine. Beth'
any is the last village before the
narrow defile, where nebbers of the
Arabian tribes abound, The raid
from earliest time has been. known as
"the bloody way." It was, however,
a necessary thoroughfare between two
great cities, Jericho and. Jerusalem.
The traveller went down and was rob-
bed and wounded, and left inn the blaz-
ing sun without water or other com-
fort. This teaches us that there are
many cases of distress, of sorrow and
of weariness on every hand; many
with broken hearts and bodies, and
they cry for love and compassion that
is within ;otir power to give„ There
are those ,who pay no heed—as the
Priest and Levite—spa it comes to
pass that many ,of the world's miser-
ies go tutlessened by such as these,
But the Samaritan, not one who gave
all his time to God's work as the oth-
er twO professed to do, gave help
where they failed. Even the disciples
acted at times in unbecoming manner
for Christians. "Send herr away,' they
said. They wanted the easier task,
but Christ sent not the woman or the
multitude away. He had compassion.
Do we not, in spite of our advantages
shirk ,our plain duty. We try to shift
it onto others; but we cannot do so,
either as a lodge or ;individually. Each
one is confronted •by duty ie. a aff-
erent Dorm and a different way We
know our duty; and following 'duty we
answer the question of the text., As
with Judas the Lord permits us to do
wrong ,up to a point.{ The Lord lived
each day as. it came, facing the duties
and responsibilities as they came, and
we should do likewise. God told the
story ,of the Semaritane The. Samar-
itan was bated by the Jew, who con-
siderea they would be defiled by bay
ing any dealings with them. We ca11
hiin the Good Samaritan, We to -day
use theward good in a hoose way.
There is no real goodness without
self denial. Goodness implies a cost
to the ,persons, The Samaritan was
mood. These ,acts show aur nature.
and win the respect of the world..Af-+
ter the Indian Mutiny some cried out
for the destruction of the whole In-
dian nation. Others advised pun shing
only the guilty.: Thte latter was fol.-
bovine,
ob-bovin , and India blesses God for the
great spirit of th-e British Empire.
Wherein is the greatgoodness of Brit-
ain? lin +her spirit of brothexhood to
all Astons !over whom she has won
the ,victory. Instead of crushing she
help., them ' ,on to better things. The
world was astounded the other day to
read- that inn eomie year after the war
Britain had paid off half a billion of
her war debt. Britain sacrificed in
war and will sacrifice in peace to help
the world. The world never needed
Brotherhaood as it dotes to: -day. So
comes the question, "Who is my
neighbor 2'
Yoe 'have come to hear words from
my heart,: words I believe inspired of
God; ,you come to worship a man of
soarows and acquainted with grief.. He
bare our sorrows and God has placed
him high. When wet ars brethren;' face
the jud- igm,etnt seat what will be the
final test? How spongy church seer -
vices ,dad you attend? How much dud
the Lodge 'do? No, but What did you
do? Did you help the weary, relieve
the ,distres:s, visit the sick ? Are we
so living endso working to promote
Biloth,,erhaod that we may be Worthy
of the reward? Which was .u.eighbor?
Ant, the grudging answer carne, "He
that shetlnth mercy on. him, Go thou
and do bikewilse.

Nobody on earth is so long suf;er

make jokes about the high cast rt

penses have doubled, trebled, quadre-
pled.. but he gists no more or his pa
per than, the ancient dollar and a halt
whie1 was less than enough before the
war. He peys his help more, he pays
the farmer more for less food, the
grocer more for his supplies, the tail-

or mor.. far his clothes, Dein l.er
more for his shoes, anti everything
else in proportion., Yet he continues
tinua.t to charge $1,50 and is mildly
tbanktul when he ;gkts this much.
He is afraid of a rural revolution it
he charged $2.00. But if he does not
arrange for more revenue he will find
himself in a state of suspended ani-
mation. The farmer who is getting
double prices for his wheat should
think little :of a higher price for the
