An interesting and Pleasant Occasion.

was held Friday evening, at their asylum,
which notwithstanding the rain was fully at
tended After business of the evening was
completed, and the craft called from labor to
refreshment, which was provided in the BAN
quet Hall, and after ample justice had been
done to the banquet, the committee of arrange
ments for Trinity visit to Melrose, Messrs.
J. G.. Adams and o. C. Whitehouse, were
surprised by very appropriate token of the
satisfaction of the Commandery with their
labors as such committee, in the shape of two
fine leather travelling bags, alike in style and
finish, which had been purchased specially
for the occasion of Messrs. Collier & Hamil-
ton of this city, and appropriately inscribed.

intimate relations with the masonic bodies in
each place, at once indicated the propriety OF

A friend hands US the following puzzling
question for publication. An ambitious young
debater in village lyceum once propounded
it. Answers thankfully received:
"Ef'r man plants a watermillion seed next
to his fence; and this ere watermillion seed
sprouts up into a watermillion vine; and that
ere watermillion vine grows and meanders
through that ar fence into another mans
lot adjacent; and in that other mans lot, so
adjacent, that ere watermilion vine that
sprouted from that ere watermillion seed and
meandered thro' that ar fence into this ere
other mans lot adjacent; tharin consolidatcs
and homologates into watermillion the ques-
ton, feller-citzens and ladies, is: To which
of these ere men did that ar watermillion,
so homologated and promulgated, belong?
To the man who planted that ere watermillion
seed that meandered thro' that ar fence into
this ere mans lot adjacent, and thar SO con-
soidated into a watermllion, or to the man
who owned this ere lot so adjacent, whar
was promulgated the watermillion that so ex
erggitated from that ar watermllion vine
that meandered thro' this ere fence and so
sprouted from that ar watermillon seed that

has peculiar history. 1t is a political ink
stand having been used as such in the great
Harrison campaign thirty years since in one
of the log cabins Of that day, and which was
reared and used as a club-room for the citi-
gems Of Hallowell. As it seems in size and
style to be fit companion for the aforesaid
pen, and as the reporter is not present,
move that Sir Knight Russell be directed to
present it to him with the compliments Of the
Commandery.
Sir Knight Jos. w. Clapp was called on as
one of those who were absent, and expressed
his regrets that illness kept him away, and
his great pleasure that SO pleasant an excur-
sion was enjoyed.
Brief and pleasant remarks were made by
Sir Knights Harris and Soule, and general
scene of mirth and social pleasure was con-
tinued till the time for adjournment in season

The State Sunday School executive COM
mittee seem really to ''mean business" To
carry out the design of the last annual con-
venton of this association, held at Gardiner,
May 1918, last, they have organized corps
of instructors for the purpose of holding a
series of county institutes the present sea-
son, and are sparing no pains or expense to
make them available in the highest degree.
In Sacred geography and history, illustrative
teaching, Bible truth and Sunday School
work, instructors have been engaged whose
lectures no live Sunday School man or wo-
man can well afford to forego. The best
apparatus, maps, charts, &C.. will be used in
illustration. Localities which are the best
centres for holding these institutes are
sought, and it is hoped that but very few in
deed of the great mass of Sunday School
teachers in the State will not be reached,
The exercises will be public and the people
in the localities visited will be welcome to
attend. There is a deplorable want OF cul-
ture apparent in all our Sunday School in
struction, and these institutes may be just
the things needed.
