vices OIL St. Johns Day, held in Georgetown.

by Potomac No. 3, but as the date fell on one
OF the stated conclaVes, at which the Order of
the Temple was worked, the commandery
could not attend as a body, but sent dele
CATION 10 represent them.
THE HERALD is under many obligations to
Sir William Pitts, the Recorder of Columbia
Commandery No. 2, for many timely hints
and valuable suggestions. The magnificent
record which this commandery is achieving
and the interest which is shown by the mem
bership in al Of its affairs is largely due to the
efforts OF one Of the most efficient Recorders
in the country, an ardent Mason, an enthusi-
astic Templar, and general all-round good
fellow what foundation of personal at
fractions TO build Shrner on.

tious Christian, but liberal enough in his
views 10 render him extremely popular with
al creeGs. The purity of his life and the ex-
cellent Traits of his character form an ex-
ample OF practical Christianity which is
