Hayes, Grand Chaplain of Ontario West, Preached Impressive Sermon A large number of the members of Wingham' Loyal Orange Lodge No, 794 met at the Orange Hall on Sunday evening and marched to St. Paul's Anglican Church to attend the evening service, It seemed 'very fit- ting that the ' Orangemen worship as a body, at St. Paul's, as the Rector, Rev, E. Hayes, is the present Grand Chaplain of Ontario West for that order. Rev. Hayes said that it was right and necessary that people with com- mon rights and common interests. should unite as a body and thereby protect British Interests, British Principles and the Protestant relig- ion. . He spoke of King William as the great Orange Leader, and of his victory at the Boyne. The origin of the Society was in Ireland and 'its works are open and visible and had no creed, color, or politics, and was found in every British Dominion, and is . really a world neighborhood. Speaking of the principles of the Or- ange Order he spoke of its constitu- iton being of the broadest, standing for freedom of civil and religious right, freedom for all, opponent to none, loyalty to the state, civil and religious and Protestant. Protestant meaning one who protest and affirm. They also believed in the open Bible as the foundation and it must be in the language of the people. He stat- ed the Bible is the Chrsitian Text Book and should be available to all. Man is a sinner and needs forgive- ness and he has direct communion with God for that purpose. He spoke of the Priesthood of the people and the duty of the Christian individual to further Christian endeavor by ev- ample and any society that stands for that principle should be widely recognized. The hymn selections fitted in beau- tifully with the service, "Fight the good fight of Faith," "Faith of our Fathers" and "Soldiers of Christ." "Nearer, niy God to Thee" was splendidly sung by the male quar- tette, Messrs. C. R. Wilkinson, C. Templeman, G. Douglas and A. J. Nortrop. The anthem by the choir was • "Sing Praises to God," with C. Templeman taking the solo part.
