"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 -

doughty William Prince of Orange. God

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
