Canada Lodge Entertains Canadian Visitors Lord Harewood, M.W. Pro Grand Master Present at Great St George's Day. Rally of Canadian Visitors The following article is taken from "The Freemasons' Chronicle; Lon- don, England, and refers to Willis C. Cooper, son of Mr. and Mrs;, A. T. Cooper of town, the Worshipful Master of Canada Lodge 3527, also Ernest H. Cooper, P.M., P.G.D., au uncle of the W.M. Well expressive of that deep loy- alty and affection of which the old- est dominion has given proofs with such renewed emphasis to the Mother Country in the present struggle, and also typical of the noble mission of masonic hospitality 'which Canada Lodge No. 3627, since its foundation over 30 years ago, has so consistently made its own, was, its decision to en- tertain on the occasion of St. George's Day, 23rd April last, brethren at pre- sent here with the Canadian Forces. Accepting with grateful eagerness, the invitation bounteously extended to them, it was in great numbers that they came to testify to their attach- ment to Freemasonry and the oppor- tunity it thus offered them of find- ing a home from home and among their own brethren. Indeed has the lodge every reason to be gratified at the result of this fine rally, which has added yet another brilliant red ord to the list, already long, of sim- ilar occasions, and many were the marks of appreciation and praise for its endeavours which were voiced of every hand. Prominent among such tributes was that paid by the M.W. the Pro Grand Master, the Earl of Harewood, K.G. etc., who set the seal of recognition on the significance of the occasion by himself attending and conveying the greetings •d Grand Lodge to the visitors and to the lodge itself the sense of lively appreciation with which their efforts were followed and how great was the service they were rendering to the cause of Freemason- ry generally. Capt. R. D. Shaneman and Lieut. J. C, Parres, were the two privileged candidates to be admitted on so ex- ceptional an occasion, and it cannot but have been rendered even more so for them in. the fact of the presence of the M.W. the Pro Grand Master, the Earl of Harewood, who had been expected to attend' in the course of the proceeding, but showed his keen interest, a3 always, by arriving at an earlier hour, and not only witnessed with obvious appreoiation the excel- lent and sincere rendering of the cer- emony by the Master, W. Bro. Willis C. Cooper, most ably supported by his officers, but himself delivered! at its close the Antient Charge to the Can- didates in forceful and convincing manner. Previous to his arrival, the iodge had been opened and the minutes hay- ing received confirmation, the sad duty fell to the Master of notifying to the members the tragic death some few days previously, through enemy action, of two of their number, a re- verent tribute being paid to thein memory. Temple Room No, 1, was the set, ting for the meeting and despite the fact that its walls, now denuded of the tine, AM -length historical port- raits of past leaders which used to adorn them and Iend added retroap••- tive interest, impart a somewhat bare appearance, there was no lack of col- our on this oeeaaion even though the familiar khaki was the much predom- inant, ,with the presence of so lame a number of Canadian members of the Forme, but it was relieved to some extent by the masonic blue of the regalia worn and the darker gar- ter blue of the Grand Officer* and members of London Grand Rank oe from the Provincial. At the conelusion of the oermony of Initiation, the Master of the Lodge, W. Bro. Willis C. Cooper, who is now filling the proud position for the e•- cond year in sueceeeion, in happily, chosen words, voiced the pride of the lodge at the visit that day of the M.W. the Pro Grand Master, Lord of Harewood, who, he diselc®ed, hard travelled to town especially bo attend the meeting. Future generations up- on reading the records of the present occasion would, he felt were, be gnat. ified nt each preferment, which hed marked another great page irs their history.

She had on display the costumes, dishes, pictures and kniek-knacks gathered during her stay in the Orient. Lunch was served at the close of the evening. STANLEY The July meeting of the Stanley Community Club will be held at the home of Mrs. Gienti Broadfoot. The roll call 1.5 to be answered by the name of one of the Fathers of Con- federation. The text was taken from the lst Epistle to the Corinthians, the ninth verse of the twelfth chapter, "To another is given the gifts of healing by the sante spirit." Doctors and nurses are co-workers with God. Through much sacrifice and effort on their part ,they make themselves able to be of tremendous service to their fellow men.. These men and women are endowed with special abilities to alleviate the suf- fering of others. It is a sacred call- ing. They go forth into the world, not to seek honour and applause, but as co-workers with God, to help the sick and suffering. To any one in training, that period of study and research is hard, stren- uous but Graduation is really the be- ginning of living. Examinations are not to be compared with the exper- ience obtained through life. In conclusion, Mr. O'Neil dwelt in the two principal characteristics of nurses and doctors—patience and courage. Patience implies suffering and endurance, in duty, pleasure and sickness. One needs patience in all of life's experiences. The coinage of quiet confidence is the nurse's best asset. If a nurse were lacking in that quality, the confidence in the heart of the patient, would be under- mined and the patient would not gain in health and strength. The present) graduating class, Mr. O'Neil concluded, had all those necessary qualities, and would go forth to al- leviate suffering and bring honour to the Clinton Public Hospital. tcontinued on page 4) Show that You are idot Just Looking at the War There are e people in the County of Huron who remember the last war. They remember it because they were in the trenches, or they stayed at home and suffered' the agony of loving uncertainty while they hus- bands, sons and brothers were at the front. There are people who are still carrying -and carrying cheerfully— the burdens left by the last war. But here is a new war, or, some might say, a resumption of the strug- gle against the same evil thing. It. brings a new call to sacrifice. It re- quires that we give up whatever is necessary that the factories may make war materials. It asks us to invest in Victory Bonds to support our fighting men. It demands that we finish the job we started twenty-seven years ago. compared with the people of Brit- ain, what are we asked to do? We are only asked to lend our money—a, comparatively small sacrifice. when we consider what the people of Brit- ain are doing and giving. Out -numbered, out -gunned, their backs against the wall—the British, have miraculously cast aside age They have turned back the clock three hundred years, and have be- come again the young and vibrant nation, the laughing dare -devils that they were in the time of Elizabeth when they stopped Philip of Spain and his Armada, just as they are pre- pared to stop the enemy today. These are the people who are hold- ing our battle line the people we are, by all means in our power, out to sup- port. But do not think for a moment that we are supporting them for their own. sakes. Every new country that is swallowed by the dictators marks a wider spread of slavery. Our liber- ties—freedom to worship God, free- dom to express opinions, freedom to dream of a better tomorrow and trey to make our dreams come true—these would vanish, if the Dictators were. to reach across the Atlantic. Our armies will do all that is in' the power of man, and our Navy is supporting to the extent of its eq- uipment the convoy work of the Royal Navy. This year and next the air training plan, which has its home in Canada, will turn out young men who will seize for us its great superiority in the Air as the British Navy holds upon the sea. We Canadians not.in uniform must support our fighting youth with eq- uipment even better than that of the enemy. This is why Canada asks you to buy Victory y Vr ry Bonds. In the name of our embattled kins- men and far the preservation of our own freedom, dig deep to buy Vic- tory Bonds. Wear a Victory Loan torch button to ehow that you are not just looking at the war. Honored By Alumni Dr. J. W, Shaw, who for the past fifty years has practised in Clinton,. was honored at a luncheon last Thursday, by the Medical Alumni of the University of Toronto.
