Extended to the Ladies. 1 ; JOHN T. eMORGAN, President Liberal Association South Huron; course a very familiar . idea to Ma- sons. The psalm is ascribed to Solomoni. the builder of the Great Temple at Jerusalem, named after hint. He was a practical builder, and he speaks out of his experience when lie says, "Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it." He knows that nothing permanent can. be built without God, the Great Architect or the Uni- verse. pne of the great modern fallacies is that we take for granted that pro- gress in life is inevitable. We have a tendency to close our eyes to the ugly, the retrograde and the evil. We lightly assume that our world is ascending the hill of progress, where- as the truth more often is, that we are approaching a precipice and that there is dread possibility that we shall be hurled down into the depths. Progress is never raawe ay simply drifting. It requires moral effort and spiritual faith. Many of the great nations of the past ignored this fact. They built without God, which is the very essence of vanity. When the future historians look back upon the period that . closed with the great war, they will, I be- lieve, point out that the outstanding characteristic of that age was its ig- noring God. The science and philos- ophy of materialism had no place for the Great Architect of the Universe. Man thought himself supreme. Re- ligion was looked upon simply as superstition, a relic of barbarism which the race had outgrown. Our 20th century civilization was thought to be the full flower of human cul- ture. Then came the war, and the house that we had built came crash- ing down., We learned that we can- not build a• world without God. To- day we hear voices of philosophers and statesmen and leaders in all walks of life telling us that the only hope for civilization is in religion. We shall do well to heed them, for "Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it" In building a house, materials are not the only consideration. It must be built according to well defined principles. , It must be plumb and square and level and honestly put together, and it must follow a plan. As it is with a house, so it is with character, an institution, a fraternal society, a church, a nation a civiliza- tion. In all our building, the prin- ciples of the Great Architect must be followed. God seeks to build through human agency working in accord- ance withprinciples which he has laid down. There is the principle of righteous- ness, which means simply doing and being right. This means personal morality, social - justice, business honesty. The other great principle by which we . are to build, is Love -the great- est thing in the world. Love is the destroyer of discord, jealously. sus- picion, fear, hatred, those things that make for unrighteousuess. The great manifestation of love is unself- ishness, service. Selfishness is the root of trouble. - Its fruits are per- gonal bitterness, industrial strife, race prejudice, international hatred. Selfishness is the real atheism, the real infidelity, the real denial of God. Much of our civilization is built on this principle. A great manufactur- er said, recently before an investiga- tion commission "We are not in busi- ness for the Glory of God." Any such business will fail, either from inter- nal decay br outward attack. The Roman Empire, the Russian Monar- chy, the German Empire, the Slave Traders, were not in business for the Glory of God, which is closely relat- ed to the well being of mankind. They crumbled, and any person or nation or government or institution that does not exist for the Glory of God and the good 'of man, will go down to disaster, and the sooner the better. The mills of God grind slow- ly, but they grind exceedingly small. Except the Lord, the Great Architect of the Universe, build the house, they labor" inr wain that build it. On returning to the lodge raotri �a Hearty vote of thaniks, was passed and tendered ,Be o' Chielley for his 'very ex- cellent disdburse. ' • U. Fe O. Meeting HON. MANNING DOHERTY IN EXETER. The U. F. O. 'held a political meet- ing 6e, the Opera House on Thursday afternoon last in the, interest of theie candidate for South Huron, W. G. Medd. The meeting was untended to have been held at V.lc'toria Park, but ate t1r. rDaherty's suggestioln they ad journed to the Opera House, and ie was well they did as a heavy ra,n'fei before the tweeting was over.,. Mr. W. D. Sanders was chaff.maxi and he rehearsed the o..ig:n of the movement .,stating that 'n the old days the big interests 'wane the invisible government behind the party, in power who were their ,slates, etc„ etc. He spoke :of agriculture as the basic in- dustry, and the only soarce of real wealth, and that the farmers went into politics because of oppression. He. said the Drury Government had not dane-everything right, and, it was our duty to criticize thein, before sending thein back :into office again. ler, Medd, the candidate spoke In praise of Hoven, 'Manning Doherty, de- nounced the old party system, which was' British, but was, going out, and individual thought and action was ,tak- 5z" ets place, All ,governments are now!• carried on, bychelp, of the ether groups, A new factor also was the women fs vote which had to be reck- oned on. He said he. did not know the. other candidates,°cvha were farm- ers while he was a manufacturer, but he thought they'Wen goad men. He said et was evidence that it was tett a class ,government when the U..F. • O. chose a manufactture,r. In speaking of expenditures he said they were no larger than the people demanded, and that, if the government had been, extravagant why did not the ,Tories and Grits stop them. He claim- ed the old parties had no •,platformb and if either went Mitts power they would have to continue the work 'be- gun, in building roads, helping educa- tion, ,etc.'► He discussed at some length different planks of,the U. F.'C. platform, particularly prohibition, the Adolescent act, and the Creamery urchase Act. Hon. Manning Doherty said, be tried to keep £n, 'touch with practical ;prole- lems. He was s•eiuzed with the im- portance of not allowing 'Drury to go cack into private life. We need r.ien of agility, honesty and courage. It was a pleasure to deeend Drury. The i old parties weretrying to make it I appear th.at the O. 'T. A. was inot be- ing reinforced, little they were flnt- ing with "wets" land "drys," There wts great danger to law and ;,archer to redicule .enforcement. My depart- ment hays been little. criticiized. He claimed the credit for the Creamery Purchase Act, and the lifting of ,the embargo an cattle in England, which meant much money to the farmers. lie said had he attempted .this as a ie of 'the old, parties he would have been called off the job. He Spoke of the increase revenue from 19 :to 38 million •dollar's, by getting mare far timber, rasing succession duties on large estates, race ttack tax, etc., but claimed that with few exceptions it had cast the p•eaple no• more.
