The Chapter was then called to refreshments
and a delightful banquet
vas .served. This wa? a very festive
occasion.
It may be interesting to lefrn
something of the Masonic fraternities
in Camden. Freemasonry needs
not to be defended or glorified. It>
reputation, it* standing is too well
known. The Eastern Star is growing,
is becoming influential and
strong. It is a great sweeping tide
of fraternity which is enriching the
Land and carrying with it higher
ideals of living, nobler aspirations
for accomplishments and tremendous
results along benevolent lines. By
signs aBd symbols, we are brought
into th' most intimate conception of
spiritual truth*. The key to the fou.*
sciences. mathematics, astronomy,

The Masonic Order dates its origin
back to the reigr. of King Solomon
one thousand and fifteen years before
the Christian era. When K:ng So'/mon
was planning to bu Id a temple,

The history of Esther, the Jewish

from John 1:29 and the motto is

5:5 Behold the lion of the tribe
of Juda. The allusion is to the Almighty
power of God which sustained
Electa in the strenuous trials to
which she was subjected for Christ's
sake. It is impossible to say here
all that could be said about the Eastern
Star. Few of us know and appreciate
what the order stands for and
teaches, or the countless benevolent
activities of the order.

of value to humanity. Some of these
mere urvier his observation for twenty-five
years before being given to
the world. V..- ..
Several fine varieties of spineless
blackberry, now grown around the
world, were bred from a wild variety
that was considered useless in its
native state. A certain variety of
rhubarb, under Bur bank'* magic
touch, increased its stalks from the
sue of a lead peocil to that of a
man's wrrist, and was made perpetual,
instead of bearing for a few weeks
only. Canners appealed to him for a
pgrftct pea, one frhieh would mature
all of ita crop, retain uniformity of
axe and all ripen at the same time.
After three yeans of work he met the
demand. 4> I
Flowers, fruits, grains, grasses,
vegetables, even orchard and foreat .
trees were improved and given to the '
world in new usefulness through
months and years of patient and frequently
discouraging experiments.
Wonderful as many of Burbank's
achievements with vegetable, plant
and flower life seem to the laymen,
the methods by which they were accomplished
were not in themselves
remarkable. Patience was the chief
requisite to his success. Deciding
first what he wished to create, remake
01; improve upon in the vege-..
table world, he began by carefully
selecting robust specimens, allowing
them to go to Jhen experimenting
with the seeds under widely different
conditions of climate, fertilization
and nourishment. The r product
would in turn be submitted to radical
changes from its natural elements
and the product .of this would undergo
further experimentation and so
the artificial evolution progressed .
until the final result either met the
wizard's requirements or was abandoned
as useless.
When experiments with seeds alone
were not entirely satisfactory, grafting
upon the seeds or upon fresh
young shoots often was employed.
It was through a combination of
these methods, fortified by his inexhaustible
patience, that enabled
Burbank to impart delightful odorto
naturally ill-smelling flowers; to
grow* gigantic plants from dwarf
varieties, and to produce a perfect
calla lily only one inch in diameter
when full grown.. These are but a
few of the queer anomalies resulting
from the heretofore unheard of liberties
he took with nature's vegetation
Burbank's experimental farms it
Santa Rosa and Sebaltopal, a nearby
town, became a Mecca for statesmen,
kings, princes, philanthropists, horticulturists,
biologists, botanists ami
humanitarians as the fame of their
owner spread. Never of a commercial
turn, Burbank permitted an association
known as the Luther Burbank
Society, chartered by the state
of California and endowed by wealthy
patrons, to disseminate the knowledge
of plants and vegetables which
he worked out.
In addition to the Congressional
grant of land, his work was recog*
nized by the Carnegie Foundation in
1903 by a ?gift of $10,000 annually
for a period of ten years to insure
a continuance of his experiments. In
1021, when the city of Santa Rosa
completed a new $300,000 park, it
was named after^ Luther ' Burbank.
He turned the first shovel of earth
in the construction and later laid out
the gardens, which cover a forty-oneacre
tract.
The state of California also honored
its distinguished resident some
years a go" by naming March 7, Burbank's
birthday, as Bird and Arbor
Day and the occasion has since been
celebrated as a school holiday
throughout the state.

As a Xew Year's gift to the world,
the naturalist on January 1, 192G,announced
a grotip of new flowers
and plants.
One of these was -the new cajnas
sia, a striking blue flower, which exceeded
all others of Ha kind in beautiand
ability to toultiidy. From his '
rainbow corn, he produced the rainbow
teasinte, a plant that grows ,
eight feet in height and beans <>jghL
to fourteen ears to each stalk.
The third was a new giant cactus
flowering zinnia, while among thtothere
were a hybrid trltotnas, a new
species of the torch Kly; an Improved
strain of the Shasta daisy, much
larger and more colorful than the
old, and a new kind of fluffy giant
aster.
"I can say that I am satisfied with
my year's work," he told visitors at
his gardens, "for I must be satisfied.
The year is done and it has been one
of my busiest. 1 have worked and
enjoyed every day of it and I will g>
on with the New Year."
A few weeks-dater, Burbank" cre7~~
ated comment throughout the country
by declaring that "as a scientist
I cannot help but feel.Alutt all religions
are on a tottering foundation."
He alsb repeated former assertions
that he was "an infidel in the true
sense of the word*- ?
Most of the comment was in opposition
to the horticulturist's statement,
a group of Chicago clergymen
branding his remarks as '^unscientific"
and "nonsense," while Chauncey
M. Depew, in New York, said he
regretted "sincerely that such a
prominent man as Mr. Burbank
should adopt this attitude, as it is
contrary to the sentiment of per
cent of the American people today."
Appearing in the pulpit of the
HFttkt Congregational Church in Sau'
Francisco, Burbank declared he had
"nominated" himself an infidel so as
to cause people to think.
