Solos were effectively rendered by Miss Reeve and Mrs Haidman The main item oon the pro- tine was an address by Rev Dyson Hagne of Toronto, on "The Greatest Book in the World" He said he was glad to be able to speak in the interests of the Rible Society. as he thought it one of the greatest unifying forees in (he world today. There is not a different Bible for each Ponation. but the one for all The work of the Bible! is tw gel Bibles enough | to send all aver the world so that] every' person in every country may have one. The Bible is now] printed, in 650 usable languages and trgnslated inte 7 langnages and dialects. <a time when it was only in| two or three languages. There are now 110 different languages spoken in Canada. To help these different people in their know- peuple Society jledge of the iwhether Bible the Bible has a book printed Society now with (wo languages on the one page. A man may read in his mother tongue and there right beside it he will find the same thing in the English language. Mr. Hague thonght the British Parliament had made a mistake in the "early days when they allowed the French language to continue in Canada. But it is here and we have to do what we ean about it, With immigration all these other languages alse have come. These people and their languages can net be treat. ed with searn: they must have Jove and sympathy and the Bible Soviety is trying to help them in their knowledge of the English langnage as well as of the Bible, that these hooks with the two languages a great blessing to the fareign element in our Do- minion. He spoke of the age of the Bible, The major portion of it had been written over 2000 years ago, He said there is not other book in the whole world that has withstood the ages as hay the Bible. In different coun. tries time and again in the early davs efforts had been made to stamp it out altogether, to de- stroy every copy df it, but each lime it had risen up stronger than ever, until today there are between owenty-eight and twenty- nine million copies cirenlated each year by the different Bible threnghout the world.

M.W. Bro. W. H. Wardrope of Hamilton Entertained by Barrie Masons. (Continued trom page 1) The Grand Master R.W. Bro, A. W. Smith, in pro. posing the toast of the Grand Master spoke of the world place Canada orcupies loday--respect-. ed and feared by her enemies, loved and honared by ber friends. In the great struggle which had exalted Canada so highly, Masons have played a noble part. In olden days the Crusaders carried the emblem of the cross, and in thie war an outstanding feature was the Red Cross, typical of service to humanity. The war over, the world now faces the difficult. problems of reconstruc- tion, Here also Masons must play their part and it is fortun- ate they have the leadership of a man of such high character and keen foresight as M.W. Bro, Wardrope The Grand Master expressed his pleasure at meeting the Bar- rie brethren. part of the grand body of men of which he is so proud. 'To' illustrate the whole- hearted interest being taken by the Craft in their work he de. seribed a visit to New Ontario, where ho received splendid sup- port and generous hospitality On June a xgreal service of thanksgiving will be held in Al- bert Hall, London, under the auspices of the Grand Lodge of ngland, to thank God for the great vietory achieved. © He pic- tured the great hody of Masons not only thanking God for peace, but earnestly praying that they may be worthy of peace and be fully seized with their responsi- bility for seeing that unselfish- ness, unrighteousness and things nholy shall no more take the Back to Givies Ten Per Cent.

Tribute was paid to the magnificent part layed in the war by the Masons and their children. While the sons have been brave, what have the daughters not done who re. mained at home? The best he could wish for the men is that they might prove worthy of the daughters who remained at home If so we will have men and wo- life and respect all those virtues most fully set out in the christian igion. The speaker pointed out the oustanding requirements of a Mason and said that the most active men in the lodges shonld be found most active in their respective churches. Ma- senry should stand for the wider outlook on behalf of humanity. The war has taught that not the man who piles things up for him- self, but the man who gives free- ly of what God has given him is doing the best for his country. Only as a Maxson banishes self- ishness and lives for service can he hope to attain the summit of Masonry. With a few complimentary words of introduction, W. Bro. J. F. Craig proposed "Grand Lodge Offic: which was knowledged by VW. Bro Logan, the Grand Secreta: RW. Bro. Stephens, D.D.G.M In proposing the toast of Visiting Brethren." W, Bro.
