Rev, Collins Preaches to the I Our United States Subscribers
Oddfellows,
On Sunday morning last at Trivitt
Memorial church the. rector, Rev. D.
W. Collins, preached an eloquent and
instructive sermon to Exeter Lodge,
No. 07, Independent Order of Oddfel-
lows. About eighty members of the
order were present and marched from
their ball to the church in a body.
The text was taken from the First
Chapter of James, being the 27th verse:
"Pure religion and undefiled before
our God attd Father isthis, to visit the
fatherless and widows in their afflic-
tion, and to keep himself unspotted
from the world."
The following is a synopsis of the
sermon:
The movement toward fraternal or-
ganizations has made rapid advance-
ment in modern times, for the purpose
of promoting the social, moral and fin-
ancial condition of people. While the
social and moral appeal, the financial
side appeals stronger than the others,
so that men may help each other in al-
leviating pain, misfortune and death,
and in helping the widow and orphan.
But I wish to speak particularly of the
religious aspect of such organizations.
The Oddfellows have five strong prin-
ciples (1) to visit the sick, (2) to relieve
the distressed, (3) to bury the dead, (4)
to educated the orphan, (5) to aid the
widow.
Pure religion -what encourages sin
is not religion. We cannot be tempt-
ed of God. We are not fated to do
so and so, nor can we shift our respon-
sibilites to others' shoulders. We trust
show our faith by our works. To
make the order a power or a blessing
good works must he done. The world
will judge by what is done.
Let us consider two things "Tbe vis-
iting of the fatherless and widows,"
and "Keep birnself unspotted from the
world." The first principle of charity
is "benevolence." Benevolence must
be active and not hide itself. To visit
means to go and seek for opportunity
to help as Wilberforce and the Duke
of Shaftesbury sought to help by re-
forming the prisons and the working
places of England. Tbe second princ-
iple of charity is "holnan sytupathy.,,
How often the simple pressure of a
friendly hand, :iv a smile is of more
value than gold or silver. Then be
kind byword to the unfor-
tunate. and And the third principle is
"condescension." In Judea no law
protected the widow and orphan.
Often they bad a hard lot. The text
is then very pointed. Trueconde.ee'n-
sion is berng like Christ, -found often
in;the homes of the poor. Do not seek
the great. Christ showed true condes-
cension. He was born in a manger,
with no place to lay his head and all
his life he engaged in the work of lift-
ing up humanity.
"Keep unspotted from the world."
By "world" is tneant, not the earth, or
domestic affection, but the spirit of
eyil. Keep unspotted from evil. We
are capable of being spotted. I)o not
decline to fight the dangers of the
world but go right through and fight
the battle of life without absorbing the
evils. There are three great evils (1)
the tainting influence, (2) the power to
make artificial, and (3) the power to
destroy feeling. Do not let the heart
be tainted, nor stoop to flattery, senti-
mentality or desire to be what we are
not.
Remember your principles -to visit
the sick, etc.,- and forget not Friend-
ship, Love and 'rt nth. Let the world
judge yon by things eternal Ool and
the attributes of (iod. Then your so-
ciety will become strong in friendship,
love and truth. They will be honored
by (iod.

The recent postal convention be-
tween ('annda and the United States
has struck a sledge -hammer blow at
Canadian newspapers and is nothing
short of a calamity to most publishers.
That so rank an injustice should be
thrust upon newspapers without the
slightest warning is little short of fool-
hardy shortsightedness on the part of
those who fratned the regulation and
is without exception the worst blow
to publishers that has ever been at-
tempted,
Briefly, the following is the new
postal law: "On and after the 8th of
May, the rate of postage on news-
papers and periodicals shall be one
cent for each four ounces, calculated
on the weight of each package and
prepaid by means of stamps affixed."
This means that a cent stamp trust
1* placed on every newspaper, or its
equivalent paid at the office at which
papers are posted.
The facts of the matter are these:
Publishers will be obliged to supply
their United States subscribers until
the end of the year for the price re-
ceived previous to the new regulation,
thus sustaining a loss in the aggregate
of hundreds of thousands of dollars to
keep their engagements with their
paid -in -advance subscribers. It is also
safe to conclude that at the end of the
year there will be a dropping off in for.
eign subscriptions, which will also
mean a loss of hundreds of dollars
more to publishers, say nothing of the
extra trouble and inconvenience in
mailing. However, since these legis-
lative asinines in their imaginative
wisdom have seen tit to enact such
miserable regulations it will necessit-
ate our increasing the subscription
price of the ADv0CATJ going to Unit-
ed States subscribers from one dollar
a year to one dollar and fifty cents,
payable strictly in advance.
It may be said that this commission
of representatives have put themselves
on record as being, if not a choke col-
lection of incompetents, the finest
hunch of light -weights ever assembled
to attempt something for public good.
But we trust our subscribers over the
border will bear with us in this matter,
over which we have no control, and
continue to extend to us their patron-
age as heretofore.
