A very pleasant afternoon was spent on Saturday, June 2nd, at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Oliver Hubbard, when their daughter Marion celebrat- ed her 11th birthday by entertaining about thirty of her little friends and other older relatives. The afternoon was spent in music, games and hunt- ing for wild flowers. In the evening Miss Jessie Slute and her sister Lylia served a dainty tea to about sixteen little folk while another table of four- teen older ones were served. After tea Marion gave a very suitable little address thanking all her friends for the lovely presents she received.

These sounds rouse 288 interest and when the speed frend rushes through our streets, we mildly wish he could receive a jolt sufficient to bring him to a sense of decency. In the big cities there is a thrill if ex- pectancy and fear as the siren of the ambulance, the police van, or the fire truck, clangs at furious speed through th ? traffic. But there is one sound above all others that never fails to rouse the interest of a quiet neighborhood--the roaring hum of the hydroplane's engine. Last Sunday morning this sound caused a wave of interest to run through the town, and those wlio were early on the scene were privileged to see one of the most beautiful sights that mod- ern science presents--the alighting of the hydroplane. No fairy story is half so wonderful as the actual accomplish- ment of this great mechanical bird. What power! In the narrow confines of its body this master of the air has a working force equal to eighty horses--all "keen on the bit" and pulling together as never horses pulled. The pressure of a lever controls their direction as easily as is the gait of a gentle driver. The motion is a graceful as that of any skimming bird, and when the wonder alights, one might easily imagine that some great visitor from other lands had arrived and was calmly settling down to enjoy the beauty of the scene around him--for Lake Scugog was beauti- ful last Sunday morning--sunshine and verdure, blue skies and white flecked clouds, these were the elements that made up the picture and into this scene of peace and beauty came this greatest modern motor inventions. Perhaps. the day will come when we shall cease to wonder and admire; when all that rouses our interest now will seem com- monplace. Perhaps the accomplishments of the future will eclipse all that has ever been done in the past--but that flatness will be a disastey if we cease to wonder. If the world should grow stale it o° woul a tragedy. With all our boastings of culture and know- sh all our self-control and contemptuous unconcern, there is notxig that brings real happiness like those things which make us wonder, that put sparkle into our eyes, and spur us to delve into the mysteries of nature's laws, striving to master them and use them for our own betterment. The hydroplane came and went--a ship that passed in the day. The aviators were on their way to Algolquin Park and then would skirt those myriad lakes of the almost uncharted north. The old Psalmist said--*"O that I had the wings of a bird"-- To-day he could have them, and almost literally he could wish him- self here or yonder and with the speed of a rushing train he could be at his destination hundreds of miles distant within a few hours. This hydroplane "The Moth" is privately owned, the property of Mr. Shepherd, of Toronto, We are glad that his route brought him to Port Pe for we had an unusual opportunity to get a very close agiquaintance with this invention in its most attractive FRATERNITY s is an age when the sense of brotherhood is growing. Every¥here the spirit of good fellowship is being fostered by frate 3 7 It is a good sign, and augurs well for the peflice of the world. Particularly is this true because the idea of bro hood is broadening, and men recognize and appreciate er races and creeds to-day in a way that would have been impo-Sble not 80 many years ago. The world is small--we are all neighbors, and the well-being of the poorest affects the health and happiness of all--even the greatest. Everything that ean be done to foster this spirit of true brotherhood should be done. The world needs peace and the only way that permanent peace can be secured is that men should know and appreciate each other. During the past week three outstanding fraternal events have taken pace in this district. They are the church parades of the Oddfellows and Sons of England in Port Perry last Sunday; the Rally of the Business Men's Bible Class at Uxbridge; and nquet tendered to the Hon. John S. Martin, Grand Master f the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Ontario District at ewcastle, on Monday. bh The Church Parades ® geldom happens that two fraternal societies parade in Port Perry on the same Sunday ; but such was the case on Sunday, June 3rd, when both the Oddfellows and the Sons of England attended Divine Service in the afternoon. Warriner Lodge No. 75. 1. 0. O. F. Td The first parade was that of Warriner Lodge No. 75 Inde- pendent PA 0dd Fellows, Port Pery, to the United Chur-h and it proved to be one of the most successful anniversaries ever held here. - The day was fine and the parade headed by the Port Perry Band, followed by members of Canton's No. 7 and No. 10 Lodges of Toronto, in full dress regalia, was the largest ever held under the auspices of Warriner Lodge. There were a number of visiting brethren present from the following lodges: No. 7 and 10 Canton Lodges, of Toronto, Broad- view Lodge, Riverdale Lodge, Toronto; Oshawa, Bowmanville, | Whitby, Pickering, Brooklin, Uxbridge, Cannington, Beaverton, , Little Britain and Caledonia. : Lindsay, 1 id an honour to have present at the service Rev.

HUTGHESON M p Sheer, Po, Bory Brut Station, Sunderland We might mention this was the first appearance of the Port Perry Band this year and words of praise were heard from many sides on the performance of this local organization. The Durham County Sons of England are holding a District Church Parade at Blackstock on Sunday afternoon next, June 10. The service is to to be in the armouries. Bible Class Rally at Uxbridge Each year the Uxbridge Business Men's Bible Class holds a great Rally, and people for many miles around attend this great meeting and catch the inspiration of the addresses and contact with a happy progressive hospitable group of men. It is a great sight to see a church filled to capacity with enthusiastic men and women. There must have been some sixteen hundred persons present at the United Church. The main floor was filled with men, and the gallery reserved for ladies at the afternoon meeting. The speaker was to have been Hon, Geo. E. Foster, but illnes prevented. His place was taken by Mr. Gea. A. Warburton, who in an effective and attractive address displayed the worth-while gifts that Christ. ianity has bestowed upon humanity. The occasion was made memorable by the singing of Mr. Albert Greenlaw, of Detroit. This colored singer has a wonderful voice, and to hear him is to hear the Gospel message well presented. Automobiles can take people to church just as well as away from it, and it will be worth while for any church to make an effort to secure the interest and attention of the people of the district. Of course all this means work and faith on the part of some- body, and in the case of the Uxbridge Business Men's Bible Class, one man--Mr, T. G. Gold, the teacher--stands out as the de- pendable enthusiastic, patient, persevering man of inspiration and ideas who keeps all things moving. We wish this Uxbridge organ- ization success, and trust that the idea may spread. A. M. Banquet When Chester Massey built the Community Hall at New- castle, he conferred a benefit not only to the immediate neighbor- hood, but to all this district. When the idea was mooted among Masons of Ontario District of tendering a banquet to the Grand Master, the most natural question was--*"Where?" It is no easy matter to find suitable accommodation to banquet three hundred and fifty men, but the Newcastle ladies had the facilities and the space so that all features of the event were carried out happily. Some twenty-five of the local brethren took the big bus and journeyed to swell the crowd who did honour to the Grand Master. It was an inspiring sight to see this large gathering of men (part of nearly 120,000 in the Province of Ontario), and to know that in every civilized country there are men maintaining the fine prin- ciples of Masonry--from Royal Palace and peasant home, among rich and poor, the tenets of the Ancient Order sweeten and purify the social structure. The toast list was as follows: The King and Craft--God Save The King "Our Departed Brethren" The Last Post sounded by Mr. Walter Fraser. One Minutes Silence. "The Grand Lodge" Proposed by Dr. T. E. Kaiser, responded to by M, W. the Grand Master, Hon. John S. Martin. "Sister Districts and Visiting Brethren" Proposed by Bro. Rev. T. S. Boyle, responded to by Deputy Grand Master Dargavel, Grand Senior Warden Fairier, Grand Secretary Logan. Hon. John S. Martin is a speaker of force and sincerity who dwelt upon the obligations of the Order in maintaining British traditions, and rendering easy for the immigrants to Canada the road to Canadian citizenship. The speeches exhibited those qualities of eloquence and brillance which make true after dinner speaking an art much enjoyed and of real value to the community. Many and varied were the stories told to enliven the occasion one of which shows that a gleam of humor may light up even the darkest event. This story was told by Rev. Mr. Boyle, of Cobourg, and shows how thoughtful and ingenious some folk can be under most trying circumstances: The story follows: "Upon a certain occasion, a man died who was quite popular among his neighbors. His worldly possessions were small, and his house was of similar proportions. But there were many mourners. Among those who came to pay their last tribute of respect was a lady of inquisitive mind but imperfect eyesight. She peered into the gloom of the darkened front room, and then turning to the widow said: # , "When did you buy the grandfathers' clock?" The widow indignantly weplied: "That is not a grandfather's clock. That is the deceased. We stood him up in the corner to make room for the mourners." It is wonderful how effective a good story is in capturing the attention of an audience and how skillfully it can be turned to ac- .- count by an accomplished speaker, which Rev. Mr. Boyle proved himself to be : One of the most pleasing speakers from a Masonic stand- point was the Deputy Grand Master. R. W. Bro. Dargavel.
