DOES EDUCATION PAY?
Dans education pay ? What a ques-
tion, !
Does it pay to prepare the ground
before sowing thte seed?
,Does it pay to polish the precious
stone before putting ,id' on the market?
Does it pay to plane, and sandpaper
the, board before putting it into a piece
of furniture ?
Does it pay to 'sharpen the tools be-
fore working with them ?
Does it ,pay 'to know things rather
than live in ignoe an,ce ?
Does it pay to have a mind rather
than be a mese animal and be directed
by those who have minds
Lues it pay to think with a trained
�' mind, rather than with an untrained
one?
Doe.s it pay to fmaketith,e most of the
faculties God has ,endowed one with, for
to let them lie dormant?
,Does it pay to be ante of the cap-
able. of the human racer, or to be ,:me
. of the inferior ? '
,Do.es it pay to prepare one's self
to do large things ler, to remain sat a-
,, fled to do small (things] and let others
r take the advanced positions ?
Does it pay to take advantage 'rf

f. O. O. ,F. .ATTEND CHURCH.
Over ninety Oddfellaws, members of
Exeter, Herisall, Brucefield ,and other
lodges attended divine worship in, the
Tr'v'tt Memorial Church on Sunday
evening.
:Meeting at the Lodge Room; at 6.3
they were ,ma -shaped to the church b
Past Grand Taman. The rector, Rev.
A A. Tramper, preached a very in
structive and scholarly sermon from
the subject, `Truth the emblem of
the Third Degree, and the Imperial
Virtue, The choir rendered special
music, a very pleasing anthem, and a
choice duet by Mrs. Dole and Mr.
Midd1emss,
On their return to the Lodge Room
a vote of thanks was,:passed in appre-
ciation of the sermon, the music and
the use of the church•.for the• occasion.
The visiting brethren were also ten-
dered the thanks of the local brethre.
for being present with them.
They. Mr- Tramper took his tex
from St. John 18.35, "Pilate saith wn
to Him, 'What is ,Truth'. "?, Th
preacher said in part,—"What i
truth," said jesting Pilate, and would
not stay for an answver." `So opens Ba-
cons- famous essay on `'Truth.". Bu
is it quite fair to say jesting? Per
halls we do an injustice tto Pilate in
that we did moot keel his.face and'hear
the tone' of his voice( when he asked,
"What is Truth"? Had Our Lord been
able to answer the question in a few
sentences would He haRe'spent thirty-
tbree years in bearing witness to the
truth? We recall those words spoken
in. the tender and' Balli+mate fellowship
of the Upper Roam. `I atm,the Truth"
—,surely the most remarkable utter-
anre that ever fell from. mortal lips,
and an answer to!the deepest quest,oa
that haunts the hurnan, mind. Jesus
sloes not say He is a teacher of the
truti , but that He as/ the truth, not
a'1 the truth, but the highest
truth, the truth that 'makes all other
truth, true. Christianity unites what
ail other religions imperfectly cambuie
—ttr,e. appeal of a living'• Person, and
th,; claims ,of Truth, keeping the two
noised. The seeker after Trutii need
not batnydag,e his ,eyes, and, the hungry
of heart need. not go empty away.
