Work has begun on the foundation out of town He said that there were two hostile â€"| factions at work, one were the state is subservient to the church and the othâ€" er is that given expression to in the Orange ritual. The state is ruled by the people true democracy. Quebec is the example of the one and Ontario shows the true spirit. Religious freeâ€" dom to all. The aims of the Orange is not persecution; it is freedom to all with equal rites.. This is what has been the great force that has been working within the Order. Too often it has been judged not by its best men but by its worst members. No other organization has been so judged. In our churches we do not hold up the worst men. Then why look upon Oranâ€". geism from its worst men. Look at: what has been done. Think of its efâ€" forts to unite Canada and give every child equal rights. Look at the school question in Ontario, It was our orâ€" gamization that showed that thero were 217 schools where the children _were only taught French. If this had not been brought before the public we would have had double that numâ€" ber. It was the members of the Ordâ€" er and their money that has given all equal rights. It is the Order that caters only to the men who are staâ€" ble and out to do the right thing for the general public. Any organization that is bent upon infringing upon the right of citizenship will have to fight the Orange Association. What is wanted that we increase our memberâ€" In response the Grand Master spoke fin glowing terms of the interesting and unusual ceremony that had. just been performed. It was a striking example of the loyalty of the olxgani- zation. It was safe that every home of Orange had sent its representative to the great war. He hoped that a tablet would be erected bearing the names of those who had fallen when the building was completed. f He con gratulated the officers and members upon their splendid work and especiâ€" ally upont this their great achieveâ€" ment. It will commemorate not only the saving of Belgium and France, but also the protection of our own homes. He stated that he would do all that he. could to support the suggestion that is now before the house that all returhâ€" ed men be the only one whom will be permitted to write on the civil service examination.. This will be one means of showing that we appreciate their efforts. He then launched into what had been accomplished by the Orange Order in the past and the great future that is before it Inâ€"fact he placed the order on such a pedestal that if all members were to follow in his standard there would be but one ordâ€" er that would be_ the ambition of all Canadians to become members of. At\t,he banquet provided in the Presbyterian Church some T5 sat down to five wellâ€"laden tables. After these present had been satisfied with the dainties on the, table, the toastâ€" master, W. Bro. Chas. E. King, called upon W. Bro. Capt. J. C. Boylen to propose the toast to our Association. This he did in good style though it was unexpected as R. W.(Bro. Hartt, M. P. P., was to have done this. He recalled the great response that the whole association had made to the call to arms. That no orga&aization had contributed more generously to the cause.,. He also paid a tribute to the members from Mimico who has done so nobly while in France with the 121th Batt. Coupled with this, toast was the name of the Grand Master, M. W. Bro. H. C. Hocken. . As young Canadians we are to conâ€" tinue to build up an imperial fabric for the great future. Col. A. D. Hunâ€" ter told of the great work that had been accomplished by the order that were here assembled. He hoped that in fifty years the order would be goâ€" ing ‘still stronger. ‘The National Anâ€" them closed this part of the proceedâ€" ing. A collection was taken up which amounted to over $60.00.. The Minisâ€" ter of Agriculture, Hon. G. H. Henry, recalled that on the holiest of ‘days we were laying the corner stone of a building that would commemorate the de.eds/ of the boys of this lodge. The greatest sacrifice for the human racd was made of this day and this buildâ€" ing will be a memorial of the sacriâ€" fice made to maintain the great prinâ€" cipals laid down to uplift humanity. L. 0; L., 2515, laid the corner stone for their new memorial hall. This hall situated on the east side of Mimico Ave., just north â€"of the Lakeâ€" Shore road, will be a two storey building, 22x45. It is being raised in memory of the members of the lodge that fell during the great war. Four of their members paid the great price. Subâ€" scriptions to the extent of some $2500 have been collected for the hall which is to cost about $5000.â€" The laying of thegcorne‘r stone was done by the Grand Master of British North Ameriâ€" ca, Bro. H. C. Hocken, M. P. After the usual ceremony of the ritual had sbeen read which showed the high ideals of theorder the Grand Master laid the corner stone of the first meâ€" morial hall to be raised in Canada. He used a silver trowell, which was doâ€" nated and presented by W. Bro. W.H. Banfield to the Grand Master, In the corner stone was placed the names of the officers of the lodge, coins of the day, copies of the Mimico and _ New Toronto Advertiser and the Teleâ€" gram. These will remain there until such time as the building is enlarged or replaced for a greater structure The New Toronto band supplied the music of the day.in splendid style. There was a very large crowd preâ€" sent to witness the ceremony, and many of the notable men of the order and members of the \Dominion and local House. Dr. Forbes Godfrey was called upon and made a few comments : in his clever style. He paid a tribute to those who had left Mimico at the first call to arms and how that none had been more loyal than the men of Mimico and the members of this lodge. It is the heroes who. have given up all for demo¢racy that we are here raising this memorial in honor of their great deeds. % On Good Friday under a clear sky the fnembers of Sir Edward Carson GORNER STONE LAID FOR MEMORIAL HALL Barrister, Solicitor, Notary, Etc.

Strik proposed the toast to the twin town in a flow of eloquence and coupled the name of Mayor West of Mimico and Mr. Carlyle of New Toâ€" ronto. In résponse the Mayor paid a great tribute to the local Fodge for what they had done and what they were doing for the building up of the town and the great community spirit that was so necessary to any town. He wanted a general feeling of coâ€"opâ€" eration to prevail with all the citizens were town matters were concerned. Capt.
