W. D. McDonald, welcomed the Odd Fel- tows and Rebekahs to the service. The Society had high ideals and look- ed to the First Great Brother for their teachings, because "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down . his life for his brother," and Christ had given his life for all mankind. The parable of the Good Samaritan with which everyone was familiar, is an excel- lent example of true brotherliness and while rhe, story is extremely simple, yet the truly .greatthings in life are the simple things in life. In order oto: gain the significance of the parable it was necessary to know the prelude, • The question was asked of Jesus: "What must I do to gain everlasting life ?" .by a Jewish lawyer, who DOIG=McGEOCH, A quiet wedding took place at the Egmondville Presbyterian manse, ori Wednesday afternoon, May 7,,h, 1924, at 4 o'clock, when Mae Carnocbaa McGeoch, daughter of Mr. and .Mrs, Samuel McGeogh, of Egmondville, was united in marriage to Mr. Paul Doig, son of, Robert C, and Mrs. Doiga of the sixth concession of Titcicerstnith. The 'ceremony was, performed by Rev. W. D. McDonald in the presence of only immediate friends and relatives, The bride was becomingly dredsed.in a grey tailor- ed suitand was w s unattended. The young couple will reside de oa the groom's 'farm in Tucicersmith until recently occupied by Mr. W. J. Chesney taking with thein the best wishes of their many friends. The bride has been a valued stenographer. in the office of the Canada Furniture faoto ry in Seaforth for several years, WHO MAY VOTE ON BY-LAWS: Only property owners in their own right, or tenants having a lease run- ning during the time of the by-laws or for twenty' years, will have the vote 'on the bylaws, THE SENIOR MISSION, BAND. The Senior Mission Band of the Presbyterian church met at the home of Mrs, J. A. Stewart on Saturday, May 3rd, The subject for the Bible reading was "Jesus the Good Shep- herd." The hymns, sung were in keep- ing with this subject, The study on "Japan on the Upward Trail" was. given by Daisy S ain. The Scripture reading was by A' yrtle Sharkey. An sought to ensnare our Lord. It. was article for the b\ arch Tower was a great question, asked with base in- i read by Agnes Smith and after the tensions. This man's gutsiness as a 11 singing of al hymn the meeting as lawyer was to interpret the meaning dosed by all uniting in silent prayerw of the Hebrew Scriptures and when Christ answered his question with another: "What saith the law ?", the lawyer. who was thoroughly versed in his work, had the answer at once. "Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, with all thy strength and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself." But because his questioning of Jesus had not- been sincere he was not satisfied with the answer and so asked another question: "Who is my neighbor ?" The Jews did not take the broad meaning intended by the Scriptures, and interpreted "neigh- bor" as meaning only • a person of their own race and their own be- liefs. Again Jesus did not give a direct answer, that such' and such a person was his neighbor and such and such a person was not his neigh- In chargeof Christian Fellowship bor.

This man, a Jew very burn and the topic "Tact and Talent" likely, who was travelling from Jere- was taken by Mrs. A, L, Porteous. sateen to Jericho, was attacked by thieves and left in a dying condition on the roadside. The first person to see him was a Jewish priest, who passed by on the other side' the second person was a Levite—also ah official of the church but of lower rank than the priest—who stopped and' looked at the. injured man and went on his way. In referring to the two church officials as neglecting their duty, Jesus did not mean any reflection on the Church, :because at all times He was a thorough church- man Himself .and upheld the rites of ,the church. They were officials of temporal as well as spiritual power, and then as now, there were faulty individuals, and at the present time the church is under two cross -fires, Socialists and the like .accusing the church of pandering to wealth, and weath .charging the church with lean- ing to the other classes.' Finally a Samaritan discovered the injured man on the roadside and although the Samaritans and the Jews were bitter racial enemies, this S.,naritan cared for ,the man in nPc , without hope of any per 50i.r gain whatever. It was on :.r:bit ideal as this that the con- srirtition of the Brotherhood was founded. The speaker said he first gained respect for the Order when he' saw, during visitation of the sick, members stepping into 'homes where a Brother was ill for weekorvens e months, , and 'relieving an over burdened.. wife .im.caring for the sick man. They did this work personally' unless. the services of a trained nurse were required. Was this not a practical demonstration' of true brotherliness ? The constitution, of the Order was broad enough to in - elude all. men in the sphere in which good fellowship was promoted. Upon their return' to the , Lodge room after the 'service, Dr. 1IIarburn, D,D.G.M. of Huron' disrict, occupied, the° chair and extended a hearty wel come to the visiting` brethren. Speeches were made by Dr. Burrows, Mayor Golding, G. 'E. Hall, :Past. D.D.G.M., of Clinton; Bro. Boyce, of Brucefield, and others, A •vote of thanks to the pastor for his' very able and thoughtful. ser- mon and also to the choir for the ex- cell,ent music and to the church offi- cials for the use .of the church, was passed., A letter' of sympathy was sent to Bro.
