The annivereary sermon to the mem. bare of Bruesels Orange Lodge wee preached in the Methodist 'Match last Sabbath morning by Rev. T. Wesley Ooeene. His text was Jade 1. and 8, "Earnestly 000tend for the Faith which was once delivered onto the ,ainte." After reference to the anniversary day he said this faith wan delivered by the Saviour and is a mighty energising, vitalizing fortes that nothing can with - eland. It was a glorious revelation, the unadulterated Gospel Truth, The infallabiiity of the Pape, the immaoalate conception of the Virgin Mary, the doc- trine of pargatory, the enpremaoy of the Pope and transubstantiation are no part of it. Five out of seven sacraments disappear. The Apostles Creed gives ue the foundation of the Faith once deliver. ed onto the saints. Wioked men and devils have been trying to annihilate tide Faith but they cannot do it as Truth is mighty and moat prevail. It is our Gibraltar. The epeuker enumerated the manner in whiob this Faith was contend- ed for. In the first 3 oenturieo 3 million. were said to have been sacrificed for it. Martin Luther, the hero of the Reforma. tion, drove in the wedge and John Knox, the Covenanters and Pilgrim Fathers were also in the glorious line of followers. Spain made its greatest attempt to orueh out Protestantism with its 80,000 soldiers and impoeiog fleet bat the God of heaven was against them and 80 vessels and 20,000 men were deetroyed and the Protestant Faith maintained. 1641 saw the rebellion in Ireland when homes of Protestants were deetroyed and 40,000 to 50,000 put tb death but despite this "No Surrender" was their motto. During the Reign of Terror 100,000 were said to have sealed their Faith with their blood. Disloyalty was fostered everywhere and under various names their fiendish work was oarried on. The name of Enniskillen and Derry are dear to every lover of the Proteetaat Faith, ae is the Boyne where the bigoted King James I1 who violated his pledge of permitting liberty of eon - science was forosd to submit to the doughty William Prince of Orange. God preserved the life of the latter both at sea end on the battle field ae be battled for "The Protestant religion and the liberties of England," and although 2,500 Roman °atholiae and 500 Protestants died on the field King Jamee fled and the groat viotory was won. Everybody ehonid rejoice over illi'. Rev. Mr. Ooeene asked the congregation to rise and join in singing the Doxology which was very heartily done. The history of the Orange Order was briefly sketched and the rev. erend gentlemen said there was nothing in their eouolitntiou that should fear the light. Tbe three chief duties are to defend the King ; fight for the liberties of the people and defend the Faith. To live out the principles of the Order honesty and sobriety are °ailed for oleo kiudoese, charity, toleration for all poli. tical parties, and for all Roman Oatholios. Along with these go the preservation of the sanctity of the Lord's Day and attendance at public worship and the plaoieg of special value upon the bible. Loyality to our country is also impressed. This great land with 850,000 egnare miiee, 127,000 more than in the II. S. is well worthy of our loyal. ity. Thera is room ouough to keep our Canadian boys in the Dominion. Every Orangeman should be a Christian. The speaker tbongbt the Dominion of Caueda should have a Protestant Premier not- withetanding that the Conservative had elected the late Sir John Thompson and the Reformers afterward oboes Sir Wilfrid Laurier. It is pandering to Rome, He liked the late Sir John A. MoDonaid'e motto "A British eubjeot I was bora and a British eubj'ot I will die". Ron, Mr. Gladstone advised that ollegianoe t0 the King supersedes that tendered to the Pope. Let ue open oar eyes and resent approach. manta on our dearly bought liberttiee. We have a line history, let ue emulate the good and go forth to fear God, honor the King and love the brotherhood. Tbe choir sang "Loyal men are wanted" and "Hold the Fort". A vote of thanks was passed to Rev. Mr. Ooeene for hie expellent dieoourae on the return of the brethren to the Orange Hall, tiraesele 9111001 Betted.
