F, Celebrate Centennial Exeter Lodge No. s7, I, 0.. O. i+ celebrated the centennial of the Ord- er by attending divine worship in James Street Methodist church on Sunday morning last. Although the' weather was inclement there was a splendid turnout. The centre pews of the church were almost filled Visiting brethern were present from Hensall. Oddfellowship on this side of the Atlantic had its birth at Balt- imore on April 26th., 1819, in what was called "The Washington Lodge." The Pastor Rev. J. W. Baird, on behalf of himself and officials wel- comed the brethern. He spoke of the birth of the order and told some- thing of its history. For his subjeet he took "The Genius of Brotherhood" His text was taken. from Matt. 23: 10 and 11. "Neither be ye called Masters, for one is your Master, even Christ. But he that is greatest a- mong you shall be your servant." The speaker advanced the thought that to anyone who bad thoughtfully studied life, the great difference be- tween our time and early history was not so much due to commercial and social conditions as it is to spiritual conditions.

The fire brigade was hurriedly summoned. With the assistance of a hand fire extinguisher the flames were got under control until the firemen arrived. The• flam- es again broke out and the water was turned on. The fire occured just at six o'clock. and it -vas necessary to stop•. the six o'clock bell to sound the fire alarm. 'A large crowd of. citizens were soon on the scene. We' are very fortunate to be able to inform you that things are no worse. • Elimville Last Sunday evening a "Weary Millie" evidently of the workless and see -more class, passed through the village. He stopped at a farm house north of the village and asked for something to eat which Was given him. He said he had come from God - and gave his desired destination as London. He spoke very civilly but was very dirty. However he decided to remedy that partly as he was seen by some church goers, taking a bath in the ditch near the roadside, a lit- tle south of the village a little later in the evening. In one opinion it would be proper to have his where- abouts located and a few enquiries made. This class of pedestrians are not desirable in any community.

If famine or dis- tress occurs in any part of the world the result is that releif is rushed to that stricken section. Brotherhood does not imply absolute equality. In a family of several children, one may have a talent for music another may be fitted for the farm the counting house or professional life. One may have one talent and an- other five. What is true in families is also much more so in nations. The man with the larger intellect, or de- veloped ability is worth more to soc- iety and is entitled to larger remun- eration. In some' parts of RussiaBol- chevism has forced all to work for the same wages. Brotherhood does not imply equality in endowment unifor mity in dress, in social customs or religious worship. Because the Hindoos do not dress and wor- ship and live as we do does not say they are not our brothers. Because the government prohibits certain na- tionalities to citizenship does not im- ply they are not our brothers. One of the princieles of brother- hood is that every man should have a. fair chance or square deal at the hands of governments. What oppor- tunity has a poor man to respectful- ly raise' and educate children with the present soaring prices of the ne- cessities of Iife. Doctors are warning against substitutes in foods for children. They mean a degener- ated citizenship. The question of high prices is not simply a question of finance, but a moral question. It is said our foodstuffs are needed to supply the demands of the starving in like a man devoted to a beautiful foreign lands, but instead of staying daughter but despising the mother starvation it is finding its way to the who gave her birth. tables of the idle rich, the poor not In his closing appeal the speaker being able to pay the high prices. sought to impress upon all his hear - The speaker said that everyone is ers that every man's first and great- paying famine prices for butter I est need was Christ, only in him can because milk and cream are being we attain unto a true and perfect used as a sg cera manhood.

It earns twice over every dollar it receives, and it is second to no enterprise in the contributing to the upbuilding of a community.. Its patrons reap far more benefits from its pages than its publishers, and in calling for the support of the com- munity in which it is published, it asks for no more than in all fairness belongs to it, though generally it re- ceives less. A practical committee man in pre- senting deplomas last June to a grad- uating class spoke as follows: "Girls in presenting you with these diplom as if, by their significance you are led to allow your mother to do all the work, bake all the bread sweep all the floors because you can read Latin or demonstrate in geometry, then has your school been an unfortunate course, and in all the teaching you. have ever received at niy hands, I trust there has been no lesson that has weaned you from the dish pan.
