L.O.L: ATTEND ' STIRVICE
`The Orangemen of Clinton and'sur-
rottnding :community attended .divine
service in Wesley church on Sunday,
evening' last, when the Rev; A. • A.
Holmes', pastor Of the church, who.
is IiiinSelf a member of :the..Order,
preaohed . a speeial: sermon to them,
The centre pews' were reserved for
the visitors but the space proved all
t'oo small and the doors :between the
auditoiiiinr'and the school room had
to be raised and this also was filled:
The preacher took for his subject
'What God' Requires of' An Orange-
man" and ehose'''for his teX.t the
words: "Honor all Men, love .the bro-
therhood, fear God, honor th'e.Iiing,".
and after a few words. 0± welcome
onbehalf of the,•ehurch. officials .and
himself he. proceeded to preach a
plain, practive' sermdu. °'I wish to
say," Ire ,began, "that your Order
stands for More than parade and
fancy regalia, as some appear to i-
magine. 1 Fii;ist, it stands for Bro-
therhood; second, it stands for Good
Citizenship, to guard. the,.1.10100, .the.
empire; third, it stands for righteous-
ness, pure morals and Christianity.
The mission of your Order is to
build up character after God's plan,
to perfect the Christian life and to
-make.a anhood accepeable to God;and•
valiant in `.the sight of . men, He
urged d the" men before .him
the need
of loyal "hien standing together to
obtain the common rights . of all.
"The Loyal Orange 'Association," he
continues, Jays no claim t0 exclu-
sive loyalty or exclusive Proestant-:

in the eliiployment of their•, consti-

a few words let me add that .the L.

principles. of national freedom.It
takes its stand.. upon the glorious

DOESN'T COMMEND 'BUILDING'
Mr, G. F. Rogers, Inspector, vis-
ited
isited the Clinton Collegiate Institute
the last week in Mav' and the other
day his report was received by: the
board, The following are some el-
tracts:fronl'`it
Iii'. the grading of aeconnnodations
only two items, toilets and the. water
supply, were marked first class.
Grounds, d teachers' ens private rooms and
heating were narked second class,
buildings, class rooms, cap rooms,
desks, blackboards, lighting and ven-
tilation, third, and halls fourth. "The
interior
of the i
bof ldn
g,u reads the
report,
p , "is sadly in need 'of re -decor-
ating. The blackboards are poor;
floors are in bad shape; many cf
the 'desks should be repaired' or 1•e -
placed with new ones."
The value of theequipment
has fol=
len off considerably since last inspec-
tion.
There are 'tweiitiy-six pupils to a
teacher. • ,The divisions of the duties
among- teachers was reported "Sat-
isfactory," "a very good time table in
use," "General -discipline ,good". and
"most of the teaching' satisfactory."
He concludes the report thus
