by neighbors, who turned in the
alarm. The fire was already making
rapid headway when firemen ar-

lapsed at the height of the blaze.

mentorate the revolution of 1fiee.
which is the happiest event for the
Eitalisb speaking peoples since the
defeat of the Armada. In li38l the
prinefpl,'s of eivil and religinne lin.
erty were establisdted as the 1011040 -
tin of British and American potpies
and ouiety: and this Orange Assoc-
iation was formed to carry out and
xten'i thoee principles. it existed In
various forms until 1795, and as a
continuous organisation since that
date. Civil liberty in the view of our
ancestor:" meant first the rule of
law. All men. including the king, are
under the law: no man is under the
will of another but alt obey the law
and can appeal to the law, whether
'they are subjects, magistrates or
kings, Civil liberty is not anarchy
or license, but the supremacy of law
over everyone. To maintain this con-
dition, parliaments are necessary
and various sorts of freedom, of the
press, of meeting and of thought
and expressions: but the central
ideas of the new society were the
rejection of domination by any man
and the insistence on equality be-
fore the law.
"In the sante way, religious liberty
means that in the Ch, istian religion
no man is under the arbitrary rule
of another, but laymen, clergymen.
moderators and bishops alike are
under the rule of the law which we
find in the New Testament.
"The Orange society stands for
the dignity of man in church and
state. With Burns we say "a man's
a man for a' that," and we share
the view of St. Peter when he said
to the kneeling Cornelius, "Stand
up. I myself deo am a man."
"Accordingly the present great
world struggle is no new thing to
the Orange society. Hitler and
Mussolini stand for the very prin-
ciples that Orangedsm has repudi-
ated and combatted from the days
of 1688: the arbitrary domination of
one man over another. The differ-
ence today is that the new domina-
tion extends much farther over the
minds, bodies and soule of men
than did that of James II. In prin-
ciple, however, it is an old story:
and Orangemen find themselves
very much at home in this combat
against tyranny. Our motto is;
'Equal rights for all, special privi-
leges for none.' and this is the basic
principle of the democracy which is
fighting for its lite in this war.
"Here in Canada the Orange' soc-
ieties have existed for 129 years and
been organised under the graud
lodge of British America for 111.
years this summer. Here the society
has never failed in its devotion to
equal rights: but it has had another
duty to perform, that of assisting to
maintain the union of Canada with
the empire. Before 1837, nearly half
of our members were reformers and
supported W L. Mackenzie as long
as he wanted only constitutional re-
germs. But when he attempted to
separate Canada from the empire
they turned against him:; and more
than half of the loyalist forces who
put down the rising in Upper Canada
in 1837.9 and'•defended the frontiers
against Mackenzie and liis American
friends, were Orangemen. When the
Fenians came In 1860 the story was
the same one thousand of our
members went to the 1,'ont, and five
out of seven who fell in tate engage-
ment at Ridgeway were Orangemen.
In 1874 Louis Riel organl ed a revolt
in Manitoba and when he wanted to
intimidate the loyalists and picked
someone to he shot. he chose Thomas
Scott, an Orangeman. Again, 1t was
Orangemen who were most forward
in putting down the revolt and In
settling the union of Manitoba with
the rest of Canada. In the Northwest
rebellion in 1885 and in the Boer
war, Orangemen were again well to
the front. In the Great War of 1914-
13, nearly 8000 Canadian Orangemen
laid down their lives far their prin-
ciples and for the empire, being one
in seven of those who diedor were
killed on service. As soon as Hitler
became a menace in recent years,
the Orange Order and the veterans'
societies—and they were the only
ones to do this—urged on the gov-
ernment at Ottawa a declaration of
Canada's solidarity with the empire.
The government hesitated, fearing
isolationist sentiment. especially In
Quebec: but the visit of the king
and queen brought out the funda-
mental loyalty of Canadians and
made it plain that Canada would en-
dure no separation and no neutral-
ity, This society has worked and
sacrificed for more than 100 years
for the union of Canada with the
empire, as this record shows well,
In 1530 our grand lodge meeting in
Toronto resolved `openly to declare
to the world at large that the loyal•
ty of the members of this extensive
societyels not one of trade and bar-
ter. admitting of equivocation or ex-
planation, hut a fixed anti 1lrin and
unalterable attachment to the cuu-
stitutinn. to tate laws and liberties of
these provinces and to their close
and lasting c•onneetion with the
mother country. To maintain these
inviolate. the members of the grand
lodge, will he at all times ready to
sacrifice life and property if neee,
sa ry. and to instill nose princild'•s
into the rising generation so that
they may be transmitted animpnirtil
to the latest posterity, will be at all
tine's the pride and duty of every
tette-hearted Orangeman.'
"til"itlt a1I this. no Orangeman lay;.
claim 4o exclusive loyalty and no
Orangeman says that Canadians out
of the society may unt be as loyal rte
Canadians in it. Canada is not set
poor in loyalty as spelt a statement
would imply. lint this society bus
had the happy privilege of iuterprtrt•
ing the mind and heart of Canada in
imperial relations for 120 years: and
it has a patriotic record far :surpass-
ing that of any other organised
group,"
Prof. Kerr then gave a survey of
the churches of the various countries
throughout the world and their rela-
tion to the war. In conclusion, lee
said:
"To the government of Canada we
would say this: that Orangemen
urge every effort and promise every
support for the winning of this war.
As members of this society we are
not interested in making political
capital or turning out one party to
make room for another: we want
only victory, and we heartily desire
every effort to attain it. Let Mr.
King cease to fear isolation senti-
ment In Quebec, which events have
shown to be as negllgillle as it is im-
moral in present eircumstanees; let
him pronounce as warmly for the
empire as M. Lapointe has dots,: lel
hint go to England when Mr.
Churchill wants him; let him con-
tinue to reorganize industry. stop
luxuries and concentrate on the pro-
duction of ,war goods and the man-
ning of the armies, and he will have
the support of every Orangeman, as
well as the great majority of Canad-
ians of every race and creed
throughout the country."
