The Canadian Order of Foresters to the number of sixty or seventy attended service last Sunday in the Presbyterian church, where they were earnestly addressed ‘ov Rev. S. M. Whaley, whose remarks were based on Acts vi :3. The society, the Speaker believ- ed, from a brief perusal of the constitution, was based on the principles of Christianity. and its aims and objects were similar to other organizations of like na- ture. The material from which the membership is chosen is mentally. morally and physically fit, and makes no provision for the hosts of ineligibles who can never gain an entrance to the order. This society, and all other soci- ‘eties gives evidence of man’s humanity to man. The monthly contributions, given so cheerfully, are not contributed through sel- fish motives, but for the coml‘ort of others who may lose the strong arms on which they lean for sup- port. The existence of such organ- izations is a recognition also _of the interâ€"dependence of one upon another, an acknowledgment that none 01' us can live Wholly to our- selves. it was with intense feeling the speaker referred to the home ior epileptics, and the awful condition of the poor unfortunates to whom the doors of the societies were forever closed. Here again human- ity shows itself and the state steps in to render succor and support. The address was highly inspiring and must have been pleasing to every member of the society and to every member of the large and attentive congregation. A meeting was held last Wed- nesday at the home of Mrs. John McGirr for Red Cross work. At each of these meetings a ten-cent tea is served, the money to be spent for Red Cross supplies. Mrs. Chas.

Royal Park and on our left Were the moun- tains. The first thing of interest was St. Margaret’s loch, and the rums of St. Anthony’s chapel. Then we passed St. Anthony’s well and started past Holyrood palaces. At ordinary times we would be able to get through there, but the Lord High Commissioner there at the t’ ‘. ' , the oldest street in Edinburgh. “’63 were heading toward Edinburgh Castle anl on the way we Walked over a large heart in the pave- ment known as the Heart of Mid- lothian. Then We passed John Knox’s house and chapel. Thexr are both old. but in good repair. Later We passec St. Giles’ Cathedral. ' . General Assembly was being held. I was much amused ir Edinburgh. Every other man we met was either an. officer or a minister and I thought there must be a most fearful lot 01 churches in Edinburgh to keep ,1]; those ministers sunDlied. Then “In the parade grounds of the castle were monuments erected to commemorate the different wars. The first thing we saw in the gas- tle was the room where the Duke of Argyll last slept before being beheaded. Then we were shown a bunch of guns used in the wars against Napoleon. Next we saw St. Margaret’s chapel, the smallest in Scotland. It would scarcely hold 20 people. It was erected in 1093. Behind it was a gun, forged in ‘Mons in 1496. After that the guide took us to Queen Mary’s room, ;where James I. of England was gborn. There were some very old lportraits hanging there. The room ’Where the Crown jewels are kept iis closed on account of the war. iThen we went through what used to be the banquet hall. It is now filled With old arm-or and wea- pons. But the most interesting jthing there was the un carriage "on which both Queen ictoria and :King Edward were borne to the “grave. Another interesting .thin Lwe saw was the dog’s graveyar fwhere all the different soldiers’ :dogs were buried. “Then we left the castle and} went through Princess St. Gardens; It is about the prettiest place I; ever saw. It is right alongside the; castle, but about 300 feet straight: below it. Then we went along: Princess St. past the monument. erected to Sir Walter Scott. It is I very beautiful and is the biggestT in Scotland. We passed Wellingâ€"1 ton’s statue just across the streetj from 'Waverly Station. This station is the largest in the worldâ€"26; acres under roof. From there we! headed to Mrs. Williams’ and: found it all right, but did not. have long to stay. Then we went,i back to Binnie’s for tea, and VVmu and Margaret Binnie were there; tOO. ‘ Right after tea, Agnes, Alex, Cissie and I started for a :on- cert in Usher Hall. We were three- quarters of an hour early, but we couldn’t get in then: it was full. So we went for a short stroll, got back after 11 o’clock, and walked somewhere about 10 miles. We went away round by 'the Braid Hills and Blackford Hills. It was very beautiful scenery all the way. I was that tired when we got back I could scarcely walk. I was issued with a new pair of British army boots just the day before I left camp and my feet were sore. But the girls were not tiredâ€"inst a nice walk for them. a primrose I picked there. ' We Went through Ancrum graveyard In the centre weret he tuins of the old chapel built in 1742, cover- ed with ivy. Some of the tomb- ;stones dates back to 1740 and on lothers the ate was completely Qworn off. Then we passed round zsome big gent’s estate, where we {saw a lot of deer. Another thing I noticed were the pheasants and. as Andrew Douglas said. .“the con- nie mavis.” Of course, We had a :supper of coffee and scone when ‘we got back. 1 “In the morning, we -got up ’early and struck for Kelso. We Ewent through an estate where we saw a lot of ‘kylies.’ Mother can. itell you What they are. “We hired “Next day Alex. and I started for Jedburgh. We got off at Jed- foot Bridge and asked the station agent the way to Douglas’. There was a school-girl came off, the same train and he got her to show us the way. Madge Yourston was her name, and she was a bonnie Scotch lassie. She took us right past her own home almost to Douglas’. The driveway up to the house was the prettiest I ever saw.

Our best Wishes go out to Elms Bessie Park of Hampden, who was married last Wednesday to Mr. Al- lister Anderson. mail clerk on the C.P.R., and formerly of Hampden. Only the immediate relatives were present. Mendelssohn’s wedding march was played by Mrs. James Byers, sister of the groom. The bride was daintily dressed in cream duchess silk with shadow lace and pearl trimmings and car- ried a bouquet of white roses. Both bride and groom were unat- tended. The ceremony was per- .formed by Rev. W. L McLean, M. ' A. During the signing of the re- gister, Lieut. Norman Anderson of ‘Ingersoll, brother of the groom, sang “O Promise Me.” Later, all partook of an appetizing repast. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson leave on June 20 for their future home at , Medicine Hat, Alberta. Mr. Ander- son holds a lucrative position as ‘ mail clerk. Mrs. Anderson will be ! greatly missed in Hampden church ’ where, in the various departments of the work, she has taken an act- ive and capable part.
