The faction that has been prominent
by its opposition to the scheme origin
ated by the committee of SO and en-
dorsed by the whole Masonic fraternity
in mass meeting assembled, has single
week in which to formulate plans for a
Masonic temple that shall be acceptable
to the large committee.
If these plans are not submitted with

themselves to the Masonic organization
that has devised a plan for temple
that will be not only credit to the fra
ternity itself but to the city at large,
the Masonic Charitable and Education
al Association, which was specially in
corporated for the purpose of buildins
the temple, will soon be a thing of the
past.
Everything is ready for the dissolu-
tlon OF the organization, better known
as the committee of SO. Everything is
ready for the distribution Of the con-
trloutions to the temple fund and for
lne return of the pledges made. Every
thlng is ready for the sale of the lot
upon which the new temple was to be

A TRIBUTE TO WASHINGTON.
DIR. Bristol Discourses on the Beau
lies Of iIis Chnrncter.

The character of George Washington and
The spirit which inspired all his acts was
the theme of a beautiful and instructive
discourse delivered yesterday by the Rev.
Frank NJ. Bristol at the morning .ervice
in the Metropolitan VI. L. Church. The
name of Washington, he said. is synOny-
nous with patriotism and independence
and to the emulation of his example more
than all else the American people owe the
position they have taken among the ma
lions of the earth.
The sermon was heard by a congregation
which filled the church to its ca
pacity. President Mckinley, however, was
not among those present.
Dr. Bristol took his text Daniel, iii:6. AN
excellent spirit was in him" After dis
cussing the characteristics of several Bib
licai characters and the causes which
tended to make them notable. the speaker
said: 1t is as natural for us to talk OF
our own heroes as for the Hebrews to talk
of theirs. a man Is great because of the
inspiration he awakens in the human heart
for goodness and greatness. Such men
were Washington and Lincoln. With them.
there is no such thing as a dead past. for
they live forever in the hearts and minds
of the people. On its human side. the Bible
is one long series CT biographies. which
reaches its climax in the history OF men
whose names go to make the worlds his
tory, men whose names stand for charac-
ter and principle everywhere.
1t was not Washington's ability or
genius which was the means of elevating
him among the Americans but it was the
inspiration of his character which JEFF
ferson termed the Colossus of his power,
that endeared Washington to the people
"WashingtOns qualities and character
stics," DR.. Bristol said. were such as no
other leader possessed; Caesar. Hannibal.
Alexander. or Napoleon could not have led
the Continental army to successful and
lasting victory as did Washington because
they all lacked that great and requisite
power which he possessed to such a high
degree-character.
Even before the death of Washington"
said Or. Bristol, the anniversary of his
birth was celebrated as a national event.
Today too it is also celebrated, but it
is a shame that it should ever be made
the occasion for the promoting of party
