prevailed. The speakerrapidly sketch
cd or reviewed the history OF the civil
zaticns of ancient Persia. Egypt, Greece
and Rome, and showed the height to
which chose nations had attained.
But lie said, it was fact that in the
policy and economy of the governments
and religions md societies of those
ancient people there was no provision
for the practice of the virtues of
charity. 1t was only after the coming
OF the Lord Jesus Christ with His mes
sage and doctrine of love that the idea
of charity became part of the religion
Of the world. He showed that the
WO0dmen of the World were but
part of the practice Of the broad prin-
ciplc of charity and benevolence. This
order and kindred orders were founded
upon the principle of Christ. Love thy
neiglibor as thyself." The speaker
closed his eloquent and interesting ad
dress with high tribute to the memo
ry of Mr.. Dickson. The address
throughout was fine sermon on one
of the blessed SnviOur's cardinal prin-
riplcs, charity.
Dinner was the next thing on the
program, and was just such Il one as
the h0spitable people of that section
know how to serve. IC was most album

ful to see that every visitor was amply
provided for.
In the afternoon two or three hours
were spent in IL praise service by the
large congregation.
