rem not only but was made prime minister
of Egypt. The child Samuel was chosen OF
God to be prophet In Israel and redeem
the people from the senility and laxity of
the priesthood. The young shepherd boy
of Bethlehem became the anointed of the
Lord, the hero of the people, the father Of
their kings and the author of their psalms.
1t was the young man John the Baptist who
became the forerunner of Christ and was
beheaded at the age of 80. Jesus of Nazar-
eth, the worlds only redeemer, had finished
the work his Father gave him to do-a work
greater than the world had ever seen before
at the age of 33 years.
Do you not see the strategic point which
the young man has been called upon to oc-
cupy in all the worlds history? He has not
been private but captain; not a passen-
ger but pilot; not student but a teacher;
not private citizen but ruler; not clay to
be moulded but the mould. And he has
not changed place. If he has been all this
in the past-more now. Young men were
never in position to determine things more
than today. They hold the balance of pow
er because they are wanted on every side.
There is not a door but is open to them.
They are at premium in many circles.
This is not only young mans country but
young mems era.
THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.
Speaking of the twentieth century young
men, am speaking of the young men with
in the hearing of my voice tonight, for we
stand at the door of the new century. The
nineteenth century is just tarrying like
belated traveller. The twentieth century is
at hand and 1t is customary when royal
guests are expected that they should be met
with greeting and gifts and everything
should be put in order for their reception.
Roads are repaired, bridges are builded,
are taxed in preparation for the royal guest.
In like manner should you and l prepare
for the coming century, because 1t is royal
guest; among the centuries it is the prince,
bringing with it all the blessings which past
ages by their travail have prepared. In
fact, the closing years or this century and
the opening years of the new form focal
point in history. The focal point is one to
which all lines have converged. There
have been points in history towards which
the lines of past progress have converged,
and from which have radiated the influences
that have moulded the future. We call the
Incarnation and the Reformation such points
in history and so we may fix upon the clos
ing years of this nineteenth century and the
opening years Of the twentieth century.
The supreme scientific idea of this age has
been the idea of evolution. Whether or
not we are evolutonists, the fact is that ma
ture holds to the great doctrine of the un-
folding Of human history and the evolving
of human society. And the past ages have
only been unfolding and developing and
materializing types of life and character and

GROWTH OF THE RANK f1INDERED
BY HAVING NO OWOSSO HOME.

BY HAVING NO OWOSSO HOME.
The thirty-eight members of Corunna
COmmandery, living in this city, with ten
sojourning members, will ask the Grand
Commandery of Michigan, at its meeting in
Detroit, on May Is and 10th, to grant them
charter, believing that one of the best
subordinates in the state can easily be built
up. The MasOns OF this city are active and
progressive and the lodge Is now located In
a set of the finest lodge rooms in Michigan,
and having been faithful and earnest they
think the charter will be granted.
Owosso is now the largest city in Michi-
gan not having a commandery, and with Its
proud record in all other branches of fra
ternal work, 1t has become almost necessity
that this Masonic branch should be allowed
to take the rank it is capable of doing.
The work would be taken up with will
and large commandery formed.
In all the years that Owosso has furnished
considerable membership in Corunna
Commandery, but two Eminent Comman'
ders have been chosen from this city, and
while the officers have been efficient and
painstaking, yet they were hampered by the
fact that many Knights could not find Il
convenient to attend the meetings.
Uuder Commanders w. II. Bigelow ant
Matthew Bush the work has been well done
and they have earned high rank as Masonic
officers, the commandery at Corunna having
over 13O members. The other branches o
Masonry are in high favor in this city ant
the chain should be made complete.
