The way to avoid the disease OF
spinal meningitis is to steer clear of
it. Give the children plenty of sun
shine, fresh air and exercise.
While the disease is considered con-
tagious, it is not highly so; but 1t is
one which has such high mortality
that all reasonable precautions should
be taken.

Danish the Ritual From the Pedes-

. A live, well conducted lodge should be
able to Danish the ritual from its pedes-
tails. 1t is not an irksome task for the
elective and appointive officers to commit
to memory the few brief charges of the
opening and closing ceremonies and then
render them in an impressive and digni-
fed manner, as if the words meant some
thing. In nine lodges out of ten the body
is opened and closed in hurried, irrev-
erent manner by most careless mdiffer-
ent reading of the words of the ritual in
a way calculated to cause the average
member to lose all respect for both Off
GERS and lodge.-Philadelph Press.

Christ's Servant.

How sweet the service How full of
blessing to the servant bringing him
into closest relations with the Master
he loves! For it is his privilege to fol-
low Jesus and enjoy all the bliss of His
company. In serving Christ we are not,
as is the case with earthly servants, to
discharge our duty at distance or out
of the sight of our Master; that we are
ever to follow i'll the steps of Jesus,
knowing His acts and with all our
deeds known to Him.
Blissful indeed is the present life of
Christ's servant, superlatively blissful
the prospect of his future, brought
nearer by the passing hours of each day.
Alas, that so many are determined that
they will not have this Man to rule
over theml-Episcopal Recorder.

Lessons Taught In the Three De-
grees-East, West and South.
In the first degree the young entered
apprentice stands before his brethren and
appears an upright man and Mason, and
from that moment he is ever to walk and
act as such As felowcraft he is ad-
monished by the embiematic working
tools TO walk uprightly, to try his actions
by the unerring square of virtue. As a
master Mason he learns that there are
worse things in the world than physical
death; that life is worthless when integ-
rity is lost. So in every lesson, at every
step, the ceremonies impress upon the
mind and heart this paramount qualifi-
cation of morality.-Masonic Standard.
General Ballington Booth of the Volun-
teers was raised to the sublime degree Of
master Mason recently in the presence
of large number of men in the Mont
clair lodge, New Jersey.
Noble F. Martin of Utica will direct
the Masonic fair to be held Nov. 13 to %
in aid of the new Masonic temple Of Will
mington, N. c. The building will be ded-
icated about that time.
Next to the W. NJ. himself. probably
the welfare of lodge depends more upon
the secretary than upon any one else.
There is nothing in Masonry which does
not harmonic with the highest form of
truth and righteousness.
The title worshipful master is not used
in Masonry as term of alteration. but Of
sincere respect and Difference. 1t accords
supremacy in the lodge.
Masonry asks no man to surrender any
right or to take any obligation that will
in any way interfere with the duties Of
life. 1t teaches forgiving spirit and an
adherence of chickering's and strife.
To the unworthy the doors of Freema-
sonry should never be opened nor the
wells of her symbolism drawn aside, but
to the just, the upright and the humane
the invitation still is, Ask and it shall be
given you"

TorIc-Giving a measure of love.-Mark XII.
GA. a meeting to consider systematic and
proportionate giving)
This incident took place in the tenn
pie. 1t is the familiar story of the wild
ow's mites. Jesus was watching the
people put their money in the treasury,
which consisted of brazen trumpet
shaped chests into which voluntary
offerings for the sacrifice fund were
placed. Many out of their abundance
gave literally. A poor widow gave two
mites, but it was all her living for that
day Men would have condemned her
act as one lacking Judgment, but Christ
commended the poor widow and de-
clared that she had given more than all
the rest.
Undoubtedly that which led Christ
to commend the widows gift was the
fact that it was the offering Of hum
bic heart, full of love to God 1t was
an expression of her gratitude to God.
1t was the measure of her love, and in
giving all she proved that she loved
God with all her being. Love should be
the prompter of our gifts and the meas
ure of them, but, alas, it is not always
so, or, if it is, the love of many must
be very small indeed. This gift of love
sets forth the characteristics of true
giving to God.
1. 1t was prompted by the proper
motive-love to God. Love to God and
for His cause in the world should in
spire all our giving
g The purpose for which the gift
was made was good one. 1t was for
the benefit of the sacrifice fund of Gods
temple-a most worthy purpose to
which to give. Money given to win the
applause of men to attain social or po-
litical position is not approved of God
or commended by Christ But if given
for some noble and lofty purpose, the
carrying forward of Gods work in the
world, the relief of tine distressed and
needy OF the uplifting of mankind, God
is sure to approve the gift and to bless
and reward the giver.
g. 1t was self sacrificing gift. 1t
was gift that cost something. 1t was
the widows all and perhaps necessi-
tated want and hunger for that day at
least The value of gift in the sight
of God is not its literal worth, but the
worth of the one who gave it. What it
will appear in the sight of God will de-
pend not upon how much we give, but
upon how much we have left. God re-
CARDS not so much what we give as
what we keep. The greatness of the
gift depends upon what it costs to make
it. The rich gave more than the widow,
but they had more left than she. Hence
the superior character of her gift.
This poor widows gift should inspire
us to more liberal and cheerful con-
secration of our money to Christ. If
Christ thought it was right for her to
give so literally, He must think the
same of us, and if He was willing to
commend her He will be willing to COM
mend and bless us.

A Christian mans life is laid in the
loom of time to pattern which he does
not see, but God does, and his heart is
shuttle. On one side Of the loom is
sorrow, and on the other is joy, and the
shuttle, struck alternately by each, flies
back and forth. carrying the thread,
which is white or black, as the pattern
needs And in the end, when God shall
lift up the finished garment and all its
changing hues shall glance out, it will
then appear that the deep and dark col
ors were as needful to beauty as the
bright and high colors. Henry Ward
