A BTURNOUT: The pddfellows Burch in a Body to the Cliurch (leaded by a Brass Band. For many years past the membe,s' of 'Lucknow Lodge, No, 112, of the Independent Order of Oddfellows have celebrated the annual anniver- sary of the Order by attending Divine 'Wors'hip in one or other of the village churches. The 26Lh of April is' the date on which the Order • was first established 'in America, 69 years a o t iia"tilos date does- not always fall on a Sunday, the Lucknow brethren generally attend church on the Sabbath preceding the date of the anniversary. The Oddfellows Lodge in Lucknow hits 'been a progre'.sive iustitu.ion and theie are few societies of a similar nature in•the Province that can show a' better record, or a more careful and prop -en expende n s.• ELI is (rue the .Lucknow-Society has been very generous in relievi,t the poor and - helping sick. and •distressed brethren, yet the Surplus funds of the Order are carefully and •securely invested, so that alt the.present time the Lodge has out nn- in -vest -elft a 1'1 interest between fuurand eve thousa.:d •dollars. It eras generally rumored around the village that the splendid 1 awl of the Fire Brigade. bad been engaged • to play the brethren to church on Sund.ty and long before the - tiuee ••announced for the parade a tare crowd of citizens h:td assembled• on' -the street. to witness the turnout:-- At about a quarter to eleven the Members of th'e. Order, together with several Oddfellows from Wiieghain and: Teeswater formed into -p-reerseicm—unfit '-M iia `Bio. Alex. Ross,•and headed by the banitanarched down to the bridge in the, centre of the villate,•-while 'the band struck up that beautiful hymn "Safe in the arms of Jesus" which they continued -play- ing, till the Baptist church was reaehed. Arriving at • the church the centre -front pews were assigned to •the breth- ien; white the other portions •of the building were''soun filled 1>y a large congregation. The Rev. J. B. McKin- non, pastor of the church, chose for his text the vs:ryeappr•opriate words ••"A -n; limy brother's keeper"$to be found in the 4th chapter•, aud 9th,.verse of Gene- sis. The sermon was undoubtedly the finest discourse ever delivered co •the Oddfellows. in the village. The Rev gentleman spoke very highly of •the Oddfellows Order, not. only in Luck - now, but in many other parts Of Cana- da and the: fruited Slates and al- though he was not a' member of the societteaq knew nothing whatever of its secrets, yet -he appreciated its noble objects and anus in assisting ,t he widow, 'keying distress, and 'educating the than, ,He urged tin brethren to be faithful to their trust, as by its fruits the s )cic,ty would be known' -and udgcd. - They were doing'a noble work and one he thought the church tself had failed. to do up to, the ful- est ca.pabalities. The.. sermon was ttentivel'y •listened. to and much ap- reciated" by the large audience pres- nt.
