Champion Lodge, Bradford, to listen
to one of Rev. H R Goodwin's ex-
cellent sermons, also a solo. Subject:
''Christ's Plan Of World Conquest"
Text: 81, if l be lifted up, will draw
all men unto me-" John 1872. Six
other lodges were repI esented, and
all speak in the highest terms Of
the sermon and regret he is so soon
to leave for a new field Of labor. Mr.
Goodwin pointed out that Jesus plan
was to conquer the world by love, a
plan which seemed foolish to the men
of His own day, but which is steadily
succeeding. As an illustration of
the meaning which Jesus attached to
the word "love," he retold the
familiar story Of the Good Samari-
tan. A few extracts from the ser
mon follow:
"We look forward to the time
when one law shall bind all nations
Of the earth, and that law will be
the law of universal brotherhood.

between thy seed and my seed, from

'"The way to attain these clean
social conditions that we hope and
pray for is not by return to the
simple society of the patriarchs of
Israel when they dwelt in tents in
the wilderness, but be return to
the simple, manly virtues Of the
patriarchs"
