INTERESTING SERVICE AT MEL-

Western Star Lodge, No. 149, I. 0. 0
F., Brussels, celebrated the 80th mini.
variety of the Order on Sabbath after-
noon last at 3.30 o'clock by attending
Melville ohuroh in a body. Marshal
Frank Lambie was in command, and
some 00 members of the tiaras linked
fraternity mar011ed in the pr000ssion to
and from ohuroh.
Before leaving the Lodge room a col-
leobion was taken for the Odd Fellows'
Home and $10.00 contributed.
Rev. Jno. Rosa, B. A , was the preacher
and after welcoming the Order and thank•
Mg them for their invitation to preach to
them, he gave some interesting partisan.
laze of the work being done by the I. 0.
0. F. and their standing in the Province
of Ontario, as follows :—No. of Lodges,
278 ; membership, 22,741, an increase of
about 300 over the previous year ; total
disbursements for oharity and relief,
$83,892, or an average of $229 for each
day of 1898. $13,204 of this amount
went to relief of widows ; $7,635 for
burial expenses of brother Odd Fellows ;
$51,000 for sick benefits, 2,995 brethren
sharing in the latter ; nurse fund, 81,827.
Total receipts, $247.110. Mr. Rose said
great credit was due the Order for its
generosity along the lines indicated, and
he wished it continued prosperity.
The Scripture chosen for the founda-
tion of the discourse was St. John 3:13,
"And no man hath seconded up to heaven
but He that came down from heaven,
even the Son of Man, which bin heaven."
The Divine man was the subject, and
was considered under the following well
defined divisions :—(1) His Beautiful
Simplicity. This was evidenced in His
birth, with His companions and friends,
His teachings and His personal demeanor.
(2) His rare Tenderness. His sympathy
with Nature, with suffering, with infante
and children. (3) His Moral Robust-
ness (4) His Penetrating n and far reach-
ing Vision ; (6) His self sacrificing and
uplifting Beneficence. 'Application—(1)
Make this Divine man ours ; (2) Make
ourselves His. The sermon tv00 a most
suitable, practical and eloquent one, the
speaker rather excelling himself, which
is Baying a good deal. It should bear
fruit. The ohoir of the church rendered
two very fine Anthems, "Something for
Thee," and "The Lord is my Shepherd."
Mrs. Geo. Thomson presided at the organ.
On returning to the Lodge room a
hearty and appreciative vote of thanks
was passed to Rev. Mr. Roes for his excel.
lent sermon ; to the ohoir for their music,
and to the managers for the nse of the
church.
