ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR The Convention number of The Eastern Star Review contains the following report of the official visit of the D.D.G.M., Sister Jessie Dudley, to the Belleville Chapter. Belleville Chapter, No. 55 In April we had our official visit . from the District Deputy Grand Matron,- Sister Dudley of ..Colborne, Ont., and to say the occasion was a very great success would be putting it The Chapter room was very nicely decorated with plants an,d flowers kindly donated by Bro. and Sister Givens, baskets of flowers of appropriate color being placed by the chair of each of the Star Points and a large basket of roses for the worthy Matron, Sister Lewis, on the pedestal by her chair, in addition to other plants and flowers. A very large and good looking array of present and past Matrons and Patrons as well as a great many other visitors were present from the Chapters of the surrounding district, thus showing the esteem in which Sister Dudley is held. The beautiful initiatory ceremony was conferred upon three candidates and this work, together wiffii all the other work of the Chapter during the evening, was carried out to' the very evident satisfaction of Sister Dudley, the work of our Secretary, Sister Ormo-nd, coming in for special mention. At the conclusion of the charge by each Star Point, each candidate was presented with a flower of appropriate color and this seemed to round out the ceremony in a very impressive way. At the conclusion of the Chapter work Sister Dudley gave a very fine address, first saying that the work-of the Chapter could hardly have been improved and then launching out on the subject of Confederation and bb. DEATH OF JAMES H. JOHNSTON The death occurred at Ottawa on Monday, May 21st, 1928, of James H. Johnston, formerly of Grafton, in his 59th year. He was born at Grafton, a son of the late William Johnston, and was at one time Clerk of the Township of Haldimand. Besides his wife, formerly known as Miss Elizabeth (Tuitie) Ross, he leaves a son, James, and a daughter, Grace; also four brothers, George, Cecil and Smith Johnston of Toronto, and Allen of New York City.

The casket surrounded by beautiful floral tributes. The services were conducted by the ev. A. C. McLauchlin. Pastor of St. Andrew's, Grafton, and the Rev. Mr. Milliken gave the address, of which following is a summary: i the There is a most striking inscription on a monument in Glasgow, Scotland, of a young doctor who died in the 40th year of his age.

It was very easy to see from her manner of speaking and the substance of her talk, why she is credited with such a fine personality. Short speeches were given by Bro. Fleming of Colborne Chapter, Bto. Bleecker of Minerva Chapter, Belleville, and Bro. Gray of Trenton Chapter, and at the conclusion of these, Worthy Patron Bro. Liddle, presented Sister Dudley with a very fine silver t'"-'.;v,-as a memento of the on-iis?:n and a special reminder that it was her birthday.

These two passages represent two views of death. The one contemplates the matter from the mortal side: "His sun is gone down." The other views it in the light of immortality: "Thy sun shall no more go down." Looked at from the viewpoint of the present, death certainly seen the going down of man's sun. It does seem to be the close of day. It puts an end to all plans and projects, cuts a man off from further participation in earth's affairs. Weak and helpless, man is removed from his life's activity. From all that can be observed here, when death comes, an's sun has set. But in the case of a child of God, this is not the whole story. It is but the conclusion of the first part of man's existence. There is more to follow. Death shrouds everything in darkness and gloom; man's sun has gone down. But the Scriptures teach us that the light has not been extinguished. No sooner has man's sun gone down than it has risen again. It passed below the horizon only to reappear immediately in the firmament of a better world, there to shine with greater brilliancy, and to shine evermore. "Thy sun shall no more go down; for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. What a different aspect this puts upon death in the case of Christians. We are prone to dwell on the mortal side of their death and to forget the other side. We dwell upon the going down of their sun, but we fail to realize that it has rizen again, nevermore cease to shine. If we could only picture the brightness of their present state in that world of light and beauty and joy and love to which they have gone, it would help us much. "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.." We are cer.ainly warranted in cherishing these thoughts about our departed friend. His sun shall no more go down. Those of us who knew him best shall not think of him as dead; rather has he "gone to meet the sun- We are all gathered here to-day out of sincere sonrOw for a friend. Stewarton Church, Ottawa, has suffered a great loss in the removal of one greatly beloved by all. The session of the congregation had no more loyal devoted elder. Mr. Johnston loved the Church and all that the Church stood for among the people. The regularity with which he worshipped his Maker is one of the shining examples that might well be followed by our younger generation.

Assuming that if the tourists entering Ontario know the regulations that govern the use of liquor here, the majority of them will try to obey the law, the chairman of the liquor control board has hit on the idea of telling them tersely in red ink or face of their permits what they must not do. He has had rubber stamps r and on the face of every permit will be stamped in large letters the following warning: "Liquor cannot be drunk during carriage. Take purchase unopened direct to your home or room in your hotel. Drinking in motors strictly pro-ln'bited- punishment, fine or imprisonment." Sir Henry pointed out that jthe wording of the permit does not tell the holder what the regulations are, though he signs his promise that he will abide by them. "There is one thing we want the public to know--it is illegal to drink in oars and that sort of thing has to be stopped," said Sir Henry with Cancellantion of some three thous-nd liquor permits, one thousand pf them during the last few days, under instructions from Sir Henry Draytoh, Chairman of the Ontario Liquor Control Board, has resulted in the com-ion investigating the possibilities of compelling applicants for permifs next year to present practically the same data as if they were applying "or a passport, a photograph of the applicant, in< hiding the name, address, height, weight, complexion, color of hair and eyes, if there is any impairment of vision or any deformities.

Let us not forget that behind the public respect of this service, there lies the simple, human sorrow of the family. A husband and father and brother has left his place that shall know him no more. A friend--a generous heart---will company with his friends on earth no longer. If he had faults, they are to-day forgotten. What remains is that best part of every worthy man's life--his little unrememibered acts of kindness and of "Now the laborer's task is o'er, Now the battle day is past.

While Prince Edward County boasts of a tailless calf, and some other places of two-tailed ones, it has been left to Thurlow Township to produce a calf with two heads, six legs and two tails. The creature was born on the farm of Clarence Vermilyea, and lived but two hours. The seeond head grew out of the side of the neck, the other pair of legs grew on the front shoulders and the extra tail was located in close juxtaposition to the normal appendage.

Purdy Colborne High School SOME CONFUSION OVER STOP STREETS Motorists Should Think of Street Drivers, Entering Thoroughfares Although motorists and pedesti alike generally approve of the " street" system, some confusion has arisen in the working out of the regulations, chiefly due to the fact that motorists, or a great many of them, who are proceeding along a through street, fail to accord the rights due them to motorists entering into main line of automobile traffic from side streets. Several glaring instances of this have been reported at times when traffic is exceptionally heavy. Motorists proceeding along the through street appear to be entirely ignorant of the traffic regulations, so far as permitting traffic from the side streets to enter the main thoroughfare. Instead of opening up the line of traf-enough to permit cars from the side street to enter, they give no leeway and act as though all the motorist who wanted to enter the main thoroughfare had in mind was to t in ahead of them.
