Fraternized with Durham Brethren One of the best nights in the hisâ€" tory of Grey Lodge, 1.0.0.F. was on Monday evening, when about two dozen of the members of Owen Sound Lodge No. 180, motored down and exemplified the second degree to two local candidates in an excellent manâ€" ner. The lodge rooms were thronged for the occasion ; for there was a banner turn out of Durham members and several from Mt.: Forest and otiaâ€" er lodges as well. Following the work. all surrounded the tables and did full justice to a tempting spread. With Past Grand Allan Bell presidâ€" ing, a fine program of speeches was given by several of the Owen Sound brethren and by Noble Grand Corley of Mt. Forest, elocutionary numbers by Bro‘s Cutbush and Dincon of O. Sound and an address also by Bro. Wm. Laidlaw, who for over fifty vears has been a member of Grey Lodge. Many tostified to the friendâ€" Iy, social atmosphere prevailing and a return visit will probably be maae by the local lodge, before masy moons to Owen Sound, which is the home lodge of Bro.

An enthusiastic gathering of you‘hâ€" ful Durhamites was held in the Hahn Hcuse Monday night, when with some of the older boys present as well, orâ€" ganization of a Midget lacrosse team was effected. A grouping will proiâ€" ably be arranged with Hanover and Walkerton, aud the team has been entered in the O. A. L. A. There is also good material here for an Intermediate team, and the likelihood is that one will be organâ€" ized and entered within a week or two. â€" The Intermediate district will probably be Durham, Hanover, Walkâ€" erton, Southampton, which would be as good a grouping as could be deâ€" sired and would furnish some of the oldâ€"time â€" lacrosse _ excitement â€" here this summer.

The poetical artist was Miss Anne Sutherland and who the ‘Merâ€" cury‘ describes as "Guelph‘s premier poetess." This lady, who is a cousin of Miss Sarah Vollett of town, has on different occasions visited here, and is known to many. In the writeâ€" up of the recital, the ‘Mercury‘ goes on to say : Rev. J. A. Matheson Welâ€" comed tack to Pricevil‘e "Miss Sutherland‘s art of versificaâ€" tion stands alone. She has an apt apâ€" preciation of the beauty of simplcâ€" ity. As an adjective to describe most of her poems, "charming" is ridicw lously inadequate, for they possess an indefinable wistfulness which is acâ€" centuated by the poetess‘s own perâ€" sonality and the sweet, gentle tones of her voice." The . musical. artist. asslsiing â€" was Miss Marguerite Bush, A.T.CAML Sunday last in â€" Priceville, more: than usual interest _ attached to| churck services for a former well loved pastor, Rev. J. A. Matheson . was to preach in old St. Colum>a, where he presided for over 20 years. Wherever he was met hearty handâ€" shakes greeted him and there can Le no doubt happy memories remain in both the visitor and the visited. Mrs Matheson would also have been warmly welcomed, but at present she is visiting friends in England. Religious Census of Town Rev. S.G. McCormack was happy} in his introduction of Mr. Matheson and was personally glad to be pres ent and was sorry the visit was to be a short one. Rev. Mr Matheson‘s sermon was founded on the interâ€" view of our Saviour with the woman of Samaria as in gospel of St Joln 4: 10 : "If thou knowest the gift of God and who it is that saith unto thee, etc." dealing especially with verses 13 and 114. His reminiscent references caught the finer feelings of his audience. "Many," he said, "had passed away since he preached his first sermon here" and he made pathetic referâ€" ence to incidents _ of eariy cays. Reading of books was a high form 6: enjoyment : when "the book shall be opened in the laiter day may it be equally enjoyable." He made a fine admonitory finish. A Mr. Hardwick, of Flesherton Hish School Staff, contributed a solo at the close "Mother‘s Story," with fine steady voice and clear enunciation. A "Mother‘s Choir," Mrs Thos Weir at the organ, with four mere men supplying bass and tenor, contribuâ€" ted two selections, The program proâ€" vided for the Mother‘s Day service, was followed throughout, which inâ€" cluded a recitation ‘by Miss Kathieen Burnett in keeping with the subjeéct of the day. The church was well filled with oid‘ friends and parishioners of Rev. Mr.: Matheson. Before dismissing Mr. Matheson went to the door to faciiiâ€". tate the personal handshake weicome. with many â€" friends and the feeling was very warm. ° ; . m2 . 304 . 182 ~ 158 | One of the sure signs of the ad-: vent of the spring season is the r(‘sl-i lessness displayed by the lady bow-i lers to toss bowls on the greens.
