Jackson Lodge; No. 53, Royally Entertains Many Visiting Brethren. i - I SPEAKING AT OURT HOUSE 1 ?? 1 Dinner and Supper Served In the Opera Hou.se by the latdies of i The Civic Ivcague. Hosts and guests alike enjoyed thei ' big Masonic rally celebrated in Lan-1' caster yesterday. A goodly gathering was that which assembled inn the hall of Jackson Hodge yesterday! morning and after a business session, marched in a body to the court house.' ' where, after being welcomed b.vj 1 Master Paul Moore and Hon. Claud N. Sapp, Grand Master George T., i Bryan of Greenville and Deputy! 1 Grand Master Robert A. Cooper ofi Laurens made excellent addresses. Mr. Brvan discussed the nrltielnlew ! ' of the Order of Ancient Free Masons. "Although there ?re secrets in Masonry which cannot be divulged, they are lawful and honorable and i their alms and objects can be known i and read of all men." Mr. Bryan i stated. He pointed to the fact that I ; the Bible is the true light In Masonry.' that Masonry was never intended to] take the place of religion but is the. , handmaiden of religion. "Masonry] teaches us to be broader and better i men in mind and body and if It had] not been good and honorable it) would not have had the patronage of men In all ages," he continued. "Every Mason should so live that the honor and glory and reputation of Masonry will be firmly establish- j ed and that the world at large will see its good effects." He referred to t the fact that Masonry teaches us to respect and revere womanhood,! "God's most inestimable gift to man." He here paid eloquent tribute to the love and devotion of his saint-1 ed mother, which brought tears to many eyes. The Worshipful Grand Master pointed to the three cardinal principals: Faith?in God; Hope? in life eternal, and Charity?to all mankind. He explained, too, that i temperance, fortitude, prudence In justice are fostered by Masonry, that; the keystone of its arch is the father-i hood of God and the brotherhood of man. Its great object is truth, more light, leading men to lead better lives. Mr. Bryan's address was a masterly one, abounding in good and i lofty sentiments. Deputy Grand Master Cooper, made an equally good address. He i ' pointed to some of the practical ap- | peals of Masonry, on which our prac-j tical age makes more demands than did the past. Our responsibilities,! he declared, will be measured in pro-. portion to our opportunities. Mr.I1 Cooper urged the need of more of the principles of the golden rule and the Sermon on the Mount. He declared that if Masonry is to command the I respect of the world it must be in-( tensely practical. "I do not believe that the problems of todny can be settled by statesmanship or as the | result of any wars or by legislation," , he continued, "but by virtuous education." "If the Masons of Europe fifty , , years ago had tried above everything ( else to impress the minds of men. ( women and chlldreln with their , solemn duties, I do not believe this war would have been possible. What kH.d of a world would this be If every man in it would try to live ac- j cording to the teachings of Masonry? "The only way to make it practical is to make Masonry find its expres- . Bion not in lectures only, but In the lives of men." Mr. Cooper further emphasized the practical appeal of j Masonry by stating the fact that the . symbol of Masonry is the builder, 1 one who is going to do something. , He compared the thoughtful Mason , to the wireless operator, with ear attuned to catch messages and trans-j* mit them to posterity. He referred also to the fact that the grand lodge of South Carolina has begun a work i which deserves the support of every | , Mason in the state, in their resnnnsp to the call of the widow and the!, Drphan. "Such a work is worth j while and will be carrying out the real spirit of the Masonic fraternity." | said the speaker. He dwelt em- ' pathically on the fact that Masons;! should be more interested in educa- , tlon than any other subject as "the,, best protection we can give a man fa I to enable him to protect himself, to! * meet obstacles and overcome them. He made it very clear that the fra-| ternity would wish In no sense to, control the educational system. but|^ ihould have its part in the only;' method by which the best citizenship ind the best civilization can be obtained. He spoke of the need of more reverence for God's name and low Masons could exert a powerful influence in lessening profanity. Mr. Cooper referred, to the value of in ideal. He closed with a strong ippeal to his hearers to grasp their ipportunlties of making Masonry more practical, declaring that they uui.u noi anora i*> rutfls these oppor- j. unl'tl^*,,,. , After listening to these two splen- ltd talks, the Masons left the court .1 louse and adjourned to the oners \ louse, where a sumptuous dinner \ van served-by th?v women of the Civic r league. Four long tables, attrac- t We with bowls of bright summer j lowers, stretched 'the ont'fe length e ?f the hall and' a dozen-"pretty girls i iwrved the dInner. which consisted 5 ?( fried 'chicken, rice, roost beef, n mm, potato aalad, biscuits, light- f read,-led teavWe rream. cake, coffee s tod lemonade-. At dinner the Grand rtaeter, the Deputy Orand Master, r be;.Grand Secretary, O. Frank Hart u f Columbia, C. K. OrelttbUrg of t lock Hill, Junior Orand Deacon. N THE LANCASTER NEWS. !
