Odd Fellows were a power for good in the land. Iso- lated units can accomplish nothing. but the three million membership of the Odd Fellows, banded together with a common aim. could and did accomplish much that otherwise would fail. The three great aims of the society were Friendship. Love and Truth, and with these three working in’ unison the society was a religion unto itself, though not strictly Speaking a religious body. There was at the present time a move- ment for international friendship and mace and the Odd Fellows society ing this. - The speaker pointed out that the god of today is Power.

The Odd Fellows society answered the craw for human companionship.

During that time he had been in many places. had. associated with many members and in no one instance had he ever felt anv- thing but proud and privileged that he had associated himself with this great organization. fore. The programme proper was an ad- dress on Odd Fellowship by the Rev. Dr. W. '1‘. Spencer of Mount Forest. a former pastor of Durham Baptist con- gregation, who spoke for upwards of an hour on the work and aims of the society, delivering one or the most masterful addresses of the kind ever heard in Durham. His words were list- ened to with great interest and he was afterwards warmly congratulated by the members of the Order on the ex- cellence of his address. Mr. Spencer is an authority on Odd Fellowship, and being a fluent speaker his message was one that could not be heard without forming a most favorable opinion of this great society. The chairman for the evening was Mr. W. Laidlaw, an Odd Fellow for over 50 years, and possibly the oldest member in the society in Grey County. His address was short, during which he reviewed the work carried on through- out the world, told of the great benefit his membership had been to him and auditorium and ending with an assem- bly in the dance hall.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MET TO DISCUSS REUNION At the conclusion of the programme the company adjourned to the lower hall where a real Odd Fellows’ lunch was served, with plenty for everybody and upwards of an hours’ social inter- course, after which the halt, the lame and the blind crowded themselves up against the wall to allow those who de- sired to spend the next few hours in round and square dancing to the ex- cellent music supplied by the George Ritchie orchestra from Glenelg and the Durham Blu-Bells.

His act was enthu- siastically received. though his equip- ment was only that which could be carried in his pocket. Had he known he was to perform on a stage he would hae had several “props” along and given a much more intricate demon- stration of the art of “now you see it and now you don’t.” Presented With Jewels A pleasing part 0! the programme was the presentation of 25-year Jewels to Bros. J. A. Graham and Gus. Freder- ickson, the latter now a resident of New York City. Mr. Graham was the only one present and received his Jewel charge of the arrangements felt that with so much on for the evening them was no room for one of greater length and their thoughtfulness was no doubt shared by the audience, thougr every number was very much enjoyed.

Allan Bell, who referred briefly to the help the recipient had been to the lodge here and expressed the wish that he would continue in the good work. Mir. Graham replied at some length. With the presentation of the jewel, Mr. Graham was also pre- sented with a bouquet of chrysanthe~ mums to be given Mrs. Graham, long a patient in her home from serious ill- ness. The presentation was made by Mrs. Clifl Ritchie, and Mr. Graham was deeply touched with the remembrance to his wife. A similar bouquet was presented to Mrs. (Rev) Spencer, to which Mr. Spencer flttingly replied. of Mr. Spencer’s address and we have only touched the high spots.

She is survived by h ,bro- ther, John Stothart of Priceville, and three sisters, Mrs. Ramsden of New York, who came up for the funeral; Mrs. Donaldson of Detroit, who is at present at Palm Beach, Florida; and Miss Margaret of San Francisco. Mr. Stothart immediately called Dr. J. E. Milne, who made an examination and reached the conclusion that Miss Stothart had been dead since some time before midnight, as she had been dead many hours. He expressed the Opinion that death was due to natural causes. He reported the matter to Dr. D. B.

Her brother, John Stothart, with whom she made her home, arose at the usual time in the morning and after lighting the fire in the stove, called her and then went on out to do the chores. On his return a little later he noted that she was not up, and again called her, but getting no response went up- stairs and was shocked to find that she wa: dead.

The game‘ was poorly attended, many no doubt being of the opinion ‘ that the locals would find little opposition. The scorn practically indicates the play, the locals having the edge all through the game. They broke through the Harriston de- fence at will and only the superb work of Davidson in the nets for the visitors kept the score from being much higher. The game was only three minutes old when Elvidgc and 'Buschlen broke through the defence, drew the goalie out; stood him on his ear and Elvldgo flipped. the rubber past him.

On the play the Milverton boys cer- tainly deserved their win, but the 10- cals came back in the last period when the score was 5-2 against them and had the fans almost in hysterlcs.
