The 80th aanivereary of the organiza-

Fellows in Amerioa, whiob important
event took plane in Halbimors, Maryand,
U. S., on April 28th, 1819, was, in as

ing hymn followed by prayer after whiob
the hymn "0 1 worship the King" was
well sung. The Scripture lessons were
taken from the let and 120b °haptere of
Hebrews.
Before joining in singing "Jeans stand
among us in this happy bone" Rev. Dr,
Roes dropped into a reminitoent mood
and called up the faob that 25 years ago
he bad the honor of presohing to the
same body—and yet not the tame, , is be
understood there were only 4 of the then
membership in Western Star L .lge,
through removals, death or other oaasee.
There were sorrowful reoolleotioce in
those passing years yet many reaeormfoe
rejoioing as well. Leet year Canadian
Odd Fellowship had increased lbs Oben]
berehip by 1,825, an Monne of 150 per
month. In its 5 fold work its labore have
been drowned with success amour its
Inge 3 linked family of 80,475, devoted
to good work. The benevolent wore of
the Order during 1904 wae indeed pt An -
worthy as no lees a sum than $105 318,
$2000 a week or $288 for each day had
been paid out. Total expenditure $297,
551 with a balance in hand of 81,185.820
or $39 per member. The speaker c :m•
plimenbed the brethren on the remit of
the Order ; advieed a looking forward to
ice inoreaee and oontinuanoe ; and above
all a looking to the great God, wbo is
the Great Benefactor of all.
The text ohoseu was an unmet one,
Hebrews 12th chapter and 27th v:ree,
"And this word yet once more eignifieth
the removing of than things that are
shaken as of things that are made that
Mose things whiob cannot be shaken
map remain," and the disooarse based
upon it wag -a moat excellent exposition.
of the words chosen as the basis of the
sermon. In hie introduction the speak-
er pointed ;out the transitory oondltton
of many things es proven by history in
ice relation to Nations and individuate,
also tette ae to religions and common
society. While this is true many things
eblde and remain and prove themselves
able to stem the merciless °arrant,
These are the great tbiage for us and our
aim should be to discover them, value
and esteem them.
Among the things that oannotbe shak-
en the tollowtog were pointed oat and
dwelt upon with good effect :—(1) The
Personality o1 God or the Divine Being.
Voltaire ereoted a obnrcb upon whieb the
words were inscribed "Voltaire emoted
this to God." Bismarck, Tennyson and
3. Russell Lowell Dame to the conolteion
that there 000ld be no substitute for a
personal God. Joseph in Egypt [laid "I
die but God will &rarely visit thee."
(2) The Gospel of God. We need a
word wiser than man's. The newest and
freshest literature ie in the Bible.
Authors live and die bot the Bible
occupies a stronger place today than ever.
Stanley going to Africa was offered hie
choice of gifts and be said "Give roe a
Bible," and in the wilds of that dark
oontioent he read it through three times
There is no change in it, it ie fest and
firm.
(8) The 'Cron of the Son of God. The
whole redemptive work of God cannot be
shaken. Calvary and Ibe noes have not
lost their power. Legend bag i0 that
the nose was made of aspen wood and
that the aspen leaf has retained the
trembling ae oommemorabive of the
angnieh of the San of God npoe
the rugged tree. In Trinidad a faithful
missionary paned away in the midst of
hie labors and on his tombstone were in.
scribed the words "Rook of Agee." Our
wisdom ie shown in bnilding upon this
etre foundation.
(4) The incomparable worth of the goal
of men. Values can be ebaken in nom.
meroe but the eon! is poesese55 of three
elements of inestimable value (a) Its
exalted nature ; (b) Its wondrous espa-
oily ; (a) Its endless duration. Man
needs the thingsthat cannot be shaken
and the three mentioned rhoaid be arearly
underetood. A man passing away l,'om
this world without a clear evidence of
the hope beyond -amid "My God give me
[Something to bold on to.' If we are
thoroughly aroused as to the oeassuy of
possessing the things that are' treble
and enduring bye and bye we wi-1 be
possessors of that kingdom that punnet

Mx Das Ma. LRoxxn.—I bad an inter-
view some few days ago with J. W. Leon•
ard, who hag obarge of the 0. P. R. work
in the Western portion of the. Provinae
and submitted to him that portion of the
eleotrio railway sobsme which provides
for the oonetraotion of a line between
Braude and Seatorth and submitted to
him that it would be in the interest of his
Company to aid ne in bbe oonetraotion of
this portion of our Bahama. He seemed
very favorably inolined and I think the
G. P, R. will eventually either guarantee
one bonds or adopt some other propoei•
Won that will enable ne to nnaooe the
enterprise. He has directed the Engin-
eer here, Mr. Peterson, with whom I
have to day bad an interview, to go over
the line and report upon the probable
cost. Mr. Peterson is thoroughly
acquainted with the road between Wel
ton and Sealorth and it not necessary
for him to go over it. We propose on
Friday to drive out from here to Walton
and on to Brussels. I have great hopes
that we will entire the oonstraotion of.
Ibis piece of road and altbongh nothing
ie fixed I believe that if reasonable en-
couragement ie given by Seatorth and by
Brunets, the scheme will go throagb. I
hope to see you and some of the leading
men of Brussels when I am there on
Friday next. YonreM. faithtuily,
G. OAMRnON.
