often asked during the session. Sucl
men as these who have received al
the G. l.. can give them, cannot affor'
to stay away. The lodge needs then
and their council.
Memorial services were held in tn,
A. NJ. E. church Wednesday evening
in memory of Peter n. Holmes of De
Moines and Henry Bean of Davenport
One of the best features of the ses
sion was an address by A. H. Richard
son, a charter member of North Stal
Lodge No, 2 of Chicago. he is ninety
two years old, after his address he re
cited poem on Masonry-he was Civ
en- a cordial reception and received
every attention by the younger mas
ons.
The business of the G. L. was com
pleted Wednesday,, Thursday wal
spend in viewing the three cities.
q Special Il; credit is due Worshipfu
Marter Warren for his tireless efforts
in seeing that all members of the G. +.
were we'll entertained, also the mem
bers of lodge.
Bro. Pitts made an excellent Tyler
Deputy G. M. Coalson was much il
demand because of his happy disposi
ton and his gift for telling funny stor
les just at the right time.
Clinton was we'll represented by the
ladies at the installation and banquet
The Rock Island commandry headed
the parade Thursday evening, their
marching and drilling was of such pre-
ciseness that it called out applause
along the street. The Iowa G. L.
should be proud to have such body OF
men to lead it.
The Iowa Grand Lodge is to be com
mended for electing its leading officers
for anoaher year, its takes the 6. M. a
year to get acquainted and the next
year he will bs able to do something
and if he dose it then us him as long as
he ID useful.
1t was noticeable the number OF
young men who were in attendance,
and they are masons too, some Masters
of lodges and others were elected
Grand officers.
Bro. Bembry of Davenport is all
right-he was often heard by the &. l..
Mr.. Archie Mitchell of Burlington
was new members and the prospects
are he will soon be Grand officer.
Mr.. Jones of Oskalooss was unable
to stay until the close of the session.
Mr.. McNeal the popular confectlon'
er of Clinton and leading one Of the
state was a popular man during the
session.
We wish it was SO we could give all
special mention, but for lack of space
we cannot-although all who were in
attendance were interested and are
doing what they can to promulgate
Free Masonry among our people. We
trust they will continue in the good
work and that the fame of the Iowa
Grand Lodge will spread and spread
until all other Grand Lodges will turn
their eyes toward Iowa for more light
and better understanding.

THE CHURCH QUESTION.
The question has been asked, why are
the people Of this place so Indifferent
about going to church: The cake walk
and dance that was given few weeks
ago was we'll patronized it was said and
some Of those very ones when they come
to church must needs have cane or =
crutch, but in that case no support was
for the lame and the blind and the halt all
danced, yes and so4 ell down on that
CLASSY floor but they got up and danced
on until the old rooster came and tapped
his wings and told them it was time to
90 to work for there was no time to sleep
we'll some had turned so long that when
they did start for home they were so be-
wildered, hadn't danced for so long, that
they got lost on the streets. The circus
came along some went to it so they could
have good run orgo up with the tent or
be tlattened ont with pole as they did
last year. you know it takes great deal
to convince some people, and old lady
said one time when asked her reason for
not going to church, it seemed like the
devil just got into her feet so every Sun
day that they could not walk well perhaps
he has gotten into the people you know
he does those things sometimes. he is
said to have pretty good staying qualities
and when he finds he has a willing SUBJ
ject he will surely stay BY it.
