Oddfellows at Church Odd fellows to the number of 125 from Exeter, Lucan, Iiensail and Zurich Lodge attended divine wor- ship in the Main Street Methodist Church Exeter on Sunday evening marshalled by Past Grand Thomas Boyle and heard a sermon of surpass ine worth by Rev Bro. Muetworthy the pastor of the church. The; solo by ells; Edna Follick and the anthem of the choir were much. appreciated. On their return to the Lodge room rates of thanks were passed to the or eacher the church officials, she choir and the visiting brethern and shor addresses were given by D.D.G. eI Bro, McKay of Hensall Bro Macdiarmid of Lucan and Bro. Hest a'' Zurich, Rev: Bro. Mux- worthy .expressed pleasure that the bretherr were attending service, and said that though the reception ex- tended is a warm one from a weather point SO is it atiso• a warm one' :tram the: heart. He welcomed the :areal - ern nos only ps a benefecient society but as a distinct branch of the ehrist- :an church ,He took itis text from 1 Samoa; 18. 1., "The soul of Iona - than wee left with that soul of :David and Jonathan loved him as his awn soul' In the course of the sermon he aid .-- Oddfellowshp we are glad 's found- ed oe Biblical stories, The story of Jonathan, and Dav:,rl seas selected to illustrate the first principle) of the Order "Friendship:' There is a nece.,sary dependence' existing '3e - men. Our hams:mesa depends or this aelationship to one , another. Oddlellows observe th'.s condition and recognize friendship as one of ' the strongest forces, and it was, therefore selected as one •re. the fuedamental principles, of oar order, 1"he world need, strong tees a. friendship found- ed ort human brotherhood, but the sad thought is that generally tau. world has no' recognized this need. When it doe: conditions will oa greatly changed forr the better. Ar order like ours has a peculiar grandeur. Secrecy brings regard. We regret that there is much scepticism. reg rdine friendship. Goldsmith said it was but a name, but, Kingsley .;aid ,it was the secret of life. There ere many fine Biblical nad Historical, ex- amatle • (which were given.) Oddfellowship wars against ice in alt its forms, the gentler influences of love supply the weapons, ruth .on - secretes the efforts and leads a ie. tory We war against principla.s in tagonistic to truth, justice ,-nil right; against selfishness as a vice. The bi- ble gives many examples 'e;' selfish- ness which is frequently followed by bloodshed, Brotherly Love wars ag- ainst selfishness, The effect is the opposite of selfishness. Jonathan, Pythias and Sidney are examples that glisten like stars in the firmament of the paist. It is not a spirit that needs a grreat opportunity. Despite exam- ples of the past, and of moral tnd re- ligious training selfishness exists. Ag- ainst this is Brotherly Love. .The world needy the growth of, this prin- ciple in all walks of life. Before its Drapes.; selfishness is intolerant and vice will fade away. The Order com- mands a performance of small possi- bilitie. From the possibilities found and performed in the familythe -yin- pathies become enlarged and ,aroaden ed to the whole world. The beauty of the relief work of the order is that it is immediate. It has no use for help. that comes too late P. is the Salida rity of Oddfel lowshis that makes it good.: Smile will say theaOrder does no good only to its mambo rs. The or 'der inculcates that it is, more blessed to give than to receive. We Oddfell- ows must believe in the brotherhood of God and man. No widowt of any brother and no orphan of any Srother is ever allowed to sniffer or want. Oddfellowship exercises influences that mould human character. Alen ere bettered by its intlluences, Some Oddiellows are not all they should be but thi ttDes not demonstrates that the Order is not good. No,i,ndividuad a: order ie perfect: Oddfellows are made better by the ideals{ set before them It smooths out want ,azid suf- tering ,cheers in adversity, end de- fends a brother's character. It teach- es principles to elevate .the•mind. The influence of these lessons entends fur- th,es than to the Membership: It teaches our personal responsibility in life We help ar we clog the pro- geese of our companions. Oddfellow- shipteaches us to helpJ Oddfellowship was born of the necessities of the land and 'seople. The doctrines were proclaimed by God ages before. The founders 96 years ago applied these doctrines, They make for character whicbt is one of the best fetsitslof;God's teach- ing. We need 'to warn arid; save our brother from temptations and .:.vile which reach the vitals of, true :nan- hooa. These are destroyers that ire worse than sickness. The tendency of the times' is to- ward progress, which is the thing that moves the world. Oddfellowship we comes progress. We thrive in this we can . only. be 704olfalowa chile We act as honest men.,; The standard :of personal living should' be high ; and wv< should be recognized as honest Wien It should be Our highest priv- ilege to maintain and carry, out our higher. principles.'
