Lang -Ford, the rector, preached a most excellent and appropriate discourse whiob was very highly appreciated by the triple linit brethren. The text was taken from - Eaolesiaetecs, 4th chapter, 9th and 10th verses, "Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their labor ; for if they fall the one will lift op hia fellow but woe to him that is alone when he falleth for he bath not another to lift him up."

Mr, Lang -Ford for the fine sermon. Will. Griffith noted as Marshall. This was the 88th anniversary of Oddfellowehip. Visiting brethren were here from Blyth and Wroxeter. Brussels Lodge has a membership of 160 and meets each Thursday evening in their spacious Hall in TSE Pose block. There is also an Encampment which assembles semi-monthly. Oddfellowship is an organized system of benevolence. It undertakes to provide for the temporal needs of its members and requires that the sick be visited, the dead receive a respectable burial, that the widow receive sympathy and care, and the orphan be educated. The sick. brother is guaranteed financial relief while disabled and should death overtake him his funeral expenses are provided for. This society in its work of relief expands over 54 000,000 annually, Since the year 1880 it has expended itt this way the magnificent sum of $110 106,166 relieving 3.116,646 members, 281,86$ widowed families, and burying 305,711$ members. The receipts for 1906 .,ware 514,001,550. In addition to the form of work described the Order has upwards of 130 homes for the nod and infirm in the United States. Eighteen hundred and thirty eight acres of land are devoted to Shia purpose and is valued at about '-- $1,250,000. A few statistics will broaden our vision in relation to the strength of the Order. Thera are 68 Grand Lodgee, 56 Grand Encatnpments; 15,188 Sub. ordinate Lodges ; 8282 Enoampmente. In addition to these, the Daughters of Rebekah have 7,845 Lodges, with a mem- bership of 601.288. This organization also seeks, by its libraries and varioue meetings to provide for the intellectual and somal needs of its members. It also endeavors to protect and foster moral ohmmeter so that its members may be free from all soeisl vices.', The years have taught the lesson of mortality,', Joseph Wilden, the dauntless and birelese founder of the Order ' in America ; Ridgeway the estute aud P0 if shed lawyer who gave tone and form to f ga o e fo the ins ?cation and so wouder'fnlly enriched ite iiterature are gone but their mantles- have fallen upon their followers,
