THE.iVoflflisH CLO1U(NG co,
Motto "A Square Deal for Every Man,
I '0 0 F ATTEND CHURCH,
The local lodge of Oddfellows,.ae-
companied by a few members from
Btueefield lodge, attended divine
worship in Willis church on Sunday
morning The pastor, the Rev. - J,
E. Hogg, preached b very appropri.
•ate sermon, the eubjeet being:
' "The Soul of Oddfellowship,"
and taking for his texts: I Samuel,
18: 1; Luke 10 30, 33; John, 15: 14;
he said in part: The officers and
members of Willis' church extend to
you Clinton Lodge I 0. 0, F. a
hearty welcome to participate with
thein in divine worship this morn-
ing.
The theme to which your atten-
tion is .directed is "The Soul of Odd -
fellowship."
1 What is the Soul?
It is not the body but the life
within the body :the living.actuat-
ing principle of being.
The incidents' flour which the first
two texts are taken and upon which
your ritual in part is based, reveal
the loving, actuating principle of
your order. In the case of David
and Jonathan it is the spirit of
brotherly love. In -the case of the
Good Samaritan it is neighborly
friendship— This brotherly love and
friendship are the very soul of Odd
Fellowship.
2 Odclfellowship was born in
adversity.
David in need of a brother called
forth a Jonathan. The wounded
main in , need of a friend . called
forth a Good Samaritan. 50 -men
in need : of .Brotherly Love and
Friendship, called forth the I. 0.
That which began with the
brotherhood soon reached out in ever.
widening circles to needy wives,
widows and orphans. Many of these,
like the man in the parable, having
fallen amongst thieves who had
robbed them of possession or health
or friends, called forth'the kindly
ininistries of the Brotherhood. So
today thousands and thousands of
dollars are administered and innum-
erable kindly deeds performed by
your order. All of this is highly
commendable.
3 There is a possibility of en-
largement of soul by association
with your order. The duties and
services tend to enlargement of
soul.
(1) In the lodge that splendid ex-
ample of brotherly love exhibited in
David and Jonathan may be devel-
oped.
(2) In the example of the Good
Samaritan there . isever an inspira-
tion to emulate him in kindly
ministry.
(3) Your ,ritual being founded up-
on divine truth the rightful' obser-
vance thereof will lead the soul into
touch with God and every soul grows
larger that reverently contemplates
the Divine Being.
4 On the other hand there is
possibility of losing the soul in
Oddfellowship,
The great Master has said "He
that saveth his soul shall lose it,"
In Oddfellowship this is terribly true
It is the very soul of your order
to care for the sick and needy. But
for example Mr. Busyman says,
"I am too busy with office or store
or farm. or hone to take my turn
sitting at the bedside of a sick
Mr.Greatheart
• ho •. I'llgete
b
lot r
to take my place." Mr. Busyman's
soul is dying within him already.
But Mx. Greatheart goes and as he
and the sick brother open their
hearts to each other and converse on
the grandest themes, Mr. Great-
heart'slarger and nobler
soulgrows ob
g
thereby. So many, many are los-
ing their souls day by day.
No ratan has any license to go
through this world without binding
to" 1im other souls in the great
bond of friendship and human broth-
erhood. It is a poor, miserable,
impoverished soul that so lives to it-
self as not to have gathered up to
itself some of those most precious
of earthly possessions of human
friendships.
- The condemnation against the
Priest and Levito of the parable was
not one of evil done but for doing
absolutely nothing, Such negation of
duty and privilege is quite contrary.
to the soul of Odclfellowship.
5 Our third text calls us to a
higher friendship. "Ye • are my
friends", says Jesus, "If ye do
whatsoever I command you,"
Splendid as is your brotherhood
yet there is a better and nobler with
Jesus that Friend of huhnianity.
Doubtless Ho would commend your.
many services of love. Yet apart
from faith in himself—He would say
"Ye are not far from the. Kingdom,"
The ritual of Odclfollowship can-
not superceecl the gospel of Jesus;
Nor faithful discharge of earthly
friendships meet the requirements
of the soul found only in Jesus.
6 There is -a call also to .a larger
Brotherhood., It is that brotherhood
found in the universal organization,
the Christian. Church. Into the priv-
ilege and service of this world broth-
erhood Jesus invites you, This old
world like the num of the parable,
has in this, our day, fallen among
robbers.
The Ilun, the Russ, the Turk have
murdered friendship. Social, Zeon-
omit and industrial conditions have
robbed the world of nhuoh of the
sympathy and joy of true brother-
hood,
The Brotherhood "of the 5. 0. O.
r. doubtloss can do' goblet/deg to
meet tltaso conditions, but, the
Olielatktn -Church is the ono divinely
appointed and constituted organiz-
ation to play the part of the Good
Samaritan • and bring about the
"new earth 'Wherein dwelletlt right-
eoueness ci'

their son, Mr. 3. R. Bell and family,

seemed benefitted by the change. He
was in the Britannia Hotel on Monday
afternoon writing a letter, and had,
just completed the sante when he fell
to the floor unconscious; he slightly
rallied for a short tires, but a doctor
who had been. sent for, immediately
saw that recovery was practically im-
possible, and although the was taken
hone with a nurse in attendance,-
he
ttendance;he passed peacefully away about 10
o'clock. Mr, Bell wasborn in the
township of Hullett, County of Hur-
on, Ontario, in July, 1851., and was
therefore, in his 69th year, He came
to Lloydnlinster in 1005, and built
the Britannia Hotel, which he and
his .son conducted for a number •o.0
years. He was an upright and cap-
able business man, and from the
commencement took an active part
in any endeavor that would add to
the welfare of the town, being elect-
'ed a town Councillor, and serving in
that capacity for a number of years;
ho was also 'a member of the Board
of Trade and other public bodies, A

LONG -WOOLED SHEEP.
Mr. Wm. Clark of the Bayfield
Line has some rather good Leicester
sheep which ought to help restore the
depleted stocks of wool in the coon -try
at shearing time. One tuft of wool
taken from a fine animal, half broth-
er to James Snell's sheep which car-
ried orf the"sweepstakes at the Chi-
cago Fair a short time ago, measured
nearly thirteen inches in length. A
few fleeecs of such wool ought to
bring the owner a nice penny. That
is if the price of wool is in any pro-
portion to the price of wool goods at
present, _
