Prices are right, too, but a garment might be dear

The annual church service of Mur -
ph)! L, O, L. was held on Sunday after-
noon when the members and and visit-
ing Orangemen marched to Ontario St,
Church, where service was held,
Rev, A, B. Jones, pastor of Wesley
Methodist Church, conducted the open-
ing services and Bro, Rev, J. A. Rob-
inson, read the 14th Chapter of 1•leb,
as the Lesson,
Bro, J. A. Agnew, pastor of Ontario
St.. Church chose as his text for the
special sermon from the 8th chapter
and 32nd verse of St. John;—"Ye shall
know the truth; end th'e truth shall
make ye free,"
Before commencing his sermon he
welcomed the ()ragmen to the Church,
The Association stands for Truth and
Justice and Obedience to God's laws
and the laws of the country, The ideal
which as an Association is the Glory of
God; the welfare of man; the honor of
his Soverign and the -good of his coun-
try. . The Protestant Church is the
friend of truth and the protections of
truth, Man has the capacity to com-
prehend the truth; he is unlimited in
this respect. A freedom of thought;
a freedom of conscience in the life
of all amen, Give Quebec this and wee
will do more for .them than any battle
or any flag; give Ireland this and then
we can intrust them with Hoene Rule,
Our Ritual is beautiful and name and
person of Jesus Christ is exhaulted
more than in any other society and
consquently the outside world expects
much from every Orangemen. Your
supreme business is to lift up Jesua
Christ in you lives "and I, if 1 be lift-
ed up will draw all nn -m unto ate."
The speaker then passed cm to the
great war, and stated that the principles
upon which all great nations built upon
are at stake today Truth; Liberty;
Freedom, and Democracy, Quoting
from the German war book the German
staff say:—"We must seek to smash
the total intellectual and mental re-
sources of the enemy. This means
not only to destroy the body, but its
soul and spirit. Their maxim "Be
govermental; honor the King; warship
the state and believe that no salvation
is possible except by the ill-treatment
of the smaller nations.
The great Republic to; ,the South
of us were slow to enter the world's
conflict, but thank Gad, there carie a
time when that great nationfelt t that
she could not maintain her pride and
dignity as a nation and remain owt of
the world's cricis, We rejoice that
they have now joined in with ,the Allies,
President Wilson stated in his war mes-
sage; that democracy was at stake; the
world must be made safe,
its peace must be' planted ' upon
the tested foundation of Political Lib-
erty, and in closing said "We are but
one of the champions of the rights of
nna.nki nd."
We owe it to our country to make
ourselves noble and worthy men. It
is not broad lands and crowded cities,
large wealth 'and world .ewcricle
commerce that makes a nation great.
The real greatness of a nation is mea-
sured by its mankind,
Mr. Agnew in closing his address
quoted Prof. Blackie, of Edinburgh Un-
iversity, when addressing the Class of
young graduates said:—"Money is not
the one thing needful; Power is not the
one thing needful; Liberty is not the
one thing needful, or even health is
not the one thing needful—but Charac-
ter alone is that which can truly save
us and if we are not saved in this
sense we certainly must be damned."
Upon returning to the lodge a hearty
vote of thanks was tendered to the
speaker, and to the choir and church
officials. Mr, Southgate, D. D. G, M„
of Seaforth and Rev. Bro. Robinson
and Rev, Mr, Jones also spoke a few
words. The meeting broke up with
singing of the National Anthem,
