the requirements of its members to put
their trust in God" they are but a
leperous wreck, body without a head
not recognized by any of the bodies
Masonic of the world, yet we would
not have our readers think there are
no legitimate Masonic bodies in those
countries, for there are, but have no
communication with the atheistic
bodies we have mentioned. French
Freemasonry is now wrecked by athe-
ism. God will not be ignored by His
immortal creatures. A human father
will not brook reputation. How.
then, shall the Father of all? To pass
from theism to atheism is 10 commit
moral suicide. Freemasonry in its
very essence is a system of Light, but
if the source of light be denied and the
oretically abolished, the craft loses its
sun, about which all of its symbolism
clusters, and enthrones darkness IN the
place of light.
IL we would insure the stability of
Freemasonry, We must see that the
craft Continues to have truth for its
cornerstone. Immortality for its tenn
pie and charity for its cap-stone. Truth
is immortal, love is immortal. With
these three united in one in the Masonic
Fraternity. it shall endure as long as
"the perpetual hills" or the eyerlast-
ing mountains"

LADIES OF THE G. A. r.

Capt. William II. Parker Circle No.
will hold their regular meeting on Thurs
day evening. All members are requested
TO be present. as a very important ques-
ton is TO be presented and voted upon.
The question is as follows: Is IT the de-
sire Of the Ladies Of the G. a. r. to unite
with the WOmans Relief Corps, thereby
forming but one national organization of
women? In voting upon this question,
you are TO consider carefully all the i'm
portance attached TO IT, remembering that
as we now stand the Ladies Of the G. y.
r. are a distinctive society. basing its
rights of membership upon the claim of
being mother. sister. wife or daughter of
an honorably discharged soldier or sailor
Of the late war that this claim has been
our special pride and up TO this time we
have felt that no honor conferred upon
us could supercede the glorious heritage
which is ours. because of the brave deeds
of our fathers, husbands and brothers.
a consolidation with the Woman's Re
lief Corps necessarily means q change in
our membership. The vital point for yor
to consider then Is. whether any adj
vantages can be brought to our order by
n consolidation which will bring us
greater honor than the membership in an
organization which stamps US rs the flesh
and blood Of our grand army Of veterans.
The president. Mrs. Martha Richardson
of West Virginia Circle No. .. has been
seriously i'll, but 3 slowly recovering.

Last Thursday was an off-night at Black
Prince Lodge No. 10. X. OF p, there be-
ing a very small attendance. This was
accounted TO perhaps by the anxiety of a
number of the members to learn the re-
suits Of the election before retiring for
the night. However, there was a sufficient
number to attend to some important bust
ness, and the lodge closed at an carly
hour. owing TO the resignation Of brother
Fred Conrad rs pre!ate. there were sew
eral changes made in the list of officers.

A sunbeam blithe, in the early day,
Left its father and strolled away
To find the dark But all in vainl

Dropping and tired and fearful, it cried :;
Gather, I've hunted far and wide;
On earth lay many gloomy spot
Whenever reached it, 10! twas not.
ooh 1 have hunted everywhere
By meadows sweet, by waters fair;
1 asked the breeze, hailed the lark;
But, Father, could not find the dark. !"
And the father kissed his child, and said
"Of course you could MT, young sleepy
head.
Why, It is the truth, as everyone
knows
There is no dark where sunbeam goes!"
We must treasure our sunbeams, each
little one,
And think of the words of the father
Sun,
When care on the home its darkness
throws
''There is no dark where a sunbeam
goes.'

KITTY KUYLFR'S TIGER.

Kitty Kuyler, though not by any
means a coward, had an unconquerable
dread of wild animals, and when, one
evening, Bob Carter dashed in without
waiting to ring, and told her that he and
his brother had just had an encounter
with tiger, she listened to him with
her heart in her mouth.
"a tiger" she gasped-"a genuine,
live tiger?" And then, imaging that
Bob was laughing in his sleeve. she de-
clared that he was only trying to
brighten her.
Indeed. I'm not" protested Bob
