it was not so everywhere. He told of some concrete instances-one where a superintendent hadbeenemployed in a community which had had trouble with its school and where -the super intendent had succeeded in bringing the people together, but where the only difference had later arisen be tause the superintendent was , Bap tist and the most of thepatronsofthe iehool were Methodists; and of an other instance where there was the same state of facts except that the superintendent was a Methodist and imost of the patrons were Baptists. But, said the speaker, there had never been an evil that God had not found an anidote for. He believed there was an antiseptic for the evils of which he had spoken. God's an tisepties-the speaker said the hoped he would be pardoned for the word, but that he used it for want of a-bet 4er one-differed from human anti septic in this particular; that the hu man antiseptic stops -the diseases, while God's antiseptic not only pre vents the diseases, or stops them, but recreates and renews that which has been wasted by the diease. The speaker said that he believed God's antiseptic for that to which he had called attention was human so ciety. With all due reverence the speaker said that he did not believe that God could save humanity from bis place on high, or even from his presence in the soul he could not do i until he took that spirit of his and put it in the hunan body. The re juvenative force for man's spiritual and moral life was not Iy the spirit released but by the spirit incarnate the touch of human heart with human heart, through human body with hu man body. Can you come into elose, intimate, sincere, honest, earnest communion with man or woman in the eviron ment of the social function? The speaker gave some concrete instances showing xhat one could not. The go ing to a reception and pumping the hands of a dozen people in the line of the receiving party, or the receiv ing of some cake in one hand and a cup of chocolate in the other, eith6i of which would be inviting "were 'tother dear charmer away" were among some of the personal exper iences he mentioned.- The barriers of convention were there, he said. So ciety in Newberry was not unlike so ciety in Spartanburg. Soeiety in Newberry and Sportanburg was not only divided and separated by the barriers of .econventiality, but it was separated into parallel and hori zontal strata-the man at the bottom who had to labor all .the time and who had a wife who had to cook all the time, and the man at the top who stood at the top, not always because of the element of manhood and merit, but frequently because of sdme of the accidents of fortune, which gave a fortune to him or possibly to his father. The speaker said that the -mere presence of human beings was not what was needed. He said that .the loneliest he had ever been was in New York,. on Broadway. What we wanted was an antiseptic-something to take us out o.f ourselves,~ to put us in contact with our fellows, with out these barriers of conventionality which social life had built up. In this connection the speaker said. that he wanted to say to the ladies that he believed .they were responsible for *the .affectation which domonated the social life of today. God intended society as a pi'even tive, as an antiseptic. Fraternalism *could not do it all, but it could do a good deal. ,The speaker then took up the order of Knights of Pythias, telling of how it was founded by an unassuming clerk in one of the government de partments in Washington during the latter days of the War Between the States-not to help the North, not to help the South, but for the. broth erhood of man. This government clerk and his associa.es met in a lit tle room, and they were few in num ber. It was great in its conception, he said, and especially great on ae count of the environment. How was the fraternal order to break down the barriers of the socie ty of today~? There were two things, said the speaker, which always brought men closer together. One was when a man stood with another, whether it was loved one or frienud, before an open grave-in the presence of a great sorrow. The other was where two men laughed together or at themselves or at somebody else. He gave concrete instances of where employers and employees had been brought together by the initiation in the order of Knights of Pythias where men in all walks of life had been brought togethber as friends on the common level of merit and man hood. The speaker then took up the ptu poses of the order. He said tha- the geatest danger con frontig so'-~.vt today was in the number of young en leaying~ the country ~oeking went to different surroundings, with out the moral safeguards thrown around him in his home, and he want ed contact with his fellows, and if he couldn't get it in better homes he was going to have it in othei places. Grand Chancellor Rembert gave eon crete ekamples of what the Knights of Pythi* had been able to do for young men of this kind for aford ing them the right kind of compan ionship. He told the mothers pres ent that they could not do better by their boys nor by their neighbors' boys, when they go into another com munity, or even in their own com munity, than by urging them to join some one of the better class of fra ternal organizations. Grand ' Chancellor Rembert spoke without notes throughout. His and ience would have been glad to have heard ihim longer. Seldom have those present heard an address more elo quent, more forceful, more convine ing, or showing deeper study of man and of human activiti*s here and now. - Prof. Rembert on Sunday evening in Central Methodist church deliver ed an address more especially for the young people.. The church was crowded beyond its capacity, and many who would have heard the dis tinguished speaker were prevented from doing so because of being un able to find seating or standing rooni in the church. Grand Chancellor Rembert while in Newberry was the guest of Mr. E. H. AIll. On. Sunday he was the guest df Chancellor Commander 0. MaR. Holmes, of Newberry Lodge, No. 75, -at dinner.
