ST. johns DAY.-Tho celebration of the
Masonic festival of ST. John, by Washington
Lodge of this place, occupied Tueday,
the 24th. The processio2 .umbered some.
thing over two hundred Masons from twelve
or fifteen different lodges in Keeseville, ,Platts-
burgh. St. Adams, SwNnton, Richmond,
Montpelier and other towns. 1t marched
from the Town Hall at II o'clock, under the
direction of Chief Marshal y. B. Flanagan,
and his aids, \. B. Chalf3e and c. W.
Woodhouse, escorted by the Knights Tem-
plars, bearing the banner of Washington
Lodge and headed by the Cornet Band in their
new and very tasteful uniform of blue, with
straw colored cuff, and collar and gold
military buttons. Tho Masons were in re-
gala and the procession presented q very
snowy and imposing appearance. 1t
marched through the principal streets to the
Congregational Church, where after sacred
music and prayer by Rev. Mr. Stewart, Granl
Chaplain, an address was del vered by Rev.
! W. II. GOODWIN of Elmira y. Y.
The speaker defined Masonry as sc'ence,
its teachings two fold, memorial and pract-
cal. On these he dwclt at length, explain
ing the symbols of the lodge and rcgalia, as
commemorative Of the great events and
places of sacred Ilistory-which he said
would be kept in memory as long as Masonry
eAiste-ond developing the ideas Of mutual de-
pcndencc, benevolencc. and Sympathy which
lie at the foundation Of its practical teach
ings. The address was delivered with anima.
tion and was listened to with rapt attention
by the fraternity and tho nrr,or9ns audion oc
OF ladies and gentlemen.
At the close Of the discourse the speaker
was invested by the officers of Washington
lodge with very beautiful regalia Of t
''grand Chaplain" in response to whic!
honor Mr. Goodwin made some appropriate
and eloquent remarks.
