Lodge is doing well. It was organ-
ized last July with eleven charter
members and has now a membership
of twenty five, with a prospect of
more soon. Two of the members
have taken a 81,000 insurance policy
and we would like to see more fol-
low as we believe this to be as cheap
an insurance as offered by any other
benevolent society. There is about
$100 on hand now to pay sink bene-
fits with, and taking into considera-
tion the large expenditure necessary
in starting a new lodge, we think
this a good showing. The delegates
to the Grand Lodge- made their re-
port to the Lodge, which was very
encouraging. The order shows a
healthy condition during the year
1891-23 new lodges were organized;
there were 2,344 members initiated
during the year, a gain of 1,477 mem•
hers in good standing over the former
year. The receipts during the year
were in round numbers $25,600; ex-
penditure 821,800, leaving a credit
balance of 83,879. This, with a bal-
ance from the previous year of
87,244, makes a total of a little over
811,000 on hand. The Order now
• extends from the Atlantic to the
Pacific and Is established in South
Africa, and the Grand Lodge execu-
tive hope to establish it in Australia
and New Zealand. We would re-
commend this Society to every think-
ing Englishman or son of an English-
man who wishes to make provision
for himself in case of sickness or his
wife and family after hls death.

ABOUT PUBLIC WORKS.
Editor News -Record.
DEAR Sia, -We hear it oftenstated
that the Government should erect a
poet office and customs office com-
bined in Clinton. Mr. Patterson is
the member for West Huron, and he
was elected untrammeled by pledges
of an kind. I sae the Era says the
estin rtes have been brought down
and phot a cent for a post office in
Clinton. Mr. Patterson at this time
had not taken his seat and even if
he had, he would not be justified in
taking the initiatory. If our people
want a new post office in Clinton
they must move in the matter first
and send a delegation to Ottawa and
press the matter. I honestly believe
that we can get a new post office in
Clinton. but our people must first
move in the matter. The Hon. J. C.
Patterson is a gentleman who no
doubt will do what is right and just
for his constituents. Let us have a
new post office in Clinton.
Yours, dre.,
PROGRRSS.
REV. N. H. MARTIN.
It is with the deepest regret that
we record the fact that the Rev. N.
H. Martin has resigned his charge
in Christ church and left Chatham.
The circumstance becomes still more
painful to those who knew hint best,
when we see that his departure has
beet' clouded with mean and conn
teniptible stories of .the most amnia.
tional kii.d, the only virtues of
which are that to us they- carry the
stamp of faslehood- on their face.
We are under no obligation, and we
du not propose to justify all that Mr.
Martin has done, and particularly
his sudden departure without the
elightectconsultation or warning to
his 'friends ; but had he conferred
with those to whom he was so en-
deared in yearn past, we are now, in
the light of subsequent events, con-
fident that lie would have found no
insurmountable obstacles in hie way,
and that he has been more "sinned
against" than "sinner." By a de,
terminad resistance against a shames
ful attacks and attempted extortions
he could have held his ground in
Chatham until the whole truth was
known and then (itis nowbelieved) •,,,,,,,,,,• ,,,-,„W-
