The Masonic fraternity WIN Accom-
modate Central Baptist Church.


AT a recent meeting Of Ardmore
Lodge No. 81, A. F. and A. NJ,
that body was requested by the
members of the Central Baptist
church, to set apart day on
which they should lay the corner
stone of the new church building
for that denomination on Broad
way.
The matter was taken under
consideration by the lodge, and as
the Grand Chapter and other inn
portant Masonic bodies will have
their annual meeting in this city
during the third week in April, il
was decided that the laying of the
corner stone should take place al
that time.
1t was then decided that We'd
nesday the 18th day of April, bt
designated the day upon which thu
ceremony of laying the corner stone
of the church should take place.
An effort is being made to for
ward portion of the new Ma
sonic Temple building here, with
desire of the members that on tn
same day as above stated, simila
ceremony could be performed a
their own building.
A dual ceremony of this nstur
would be a pleasing feature of on
town, and happening at the abov
date when prominent Masons fror
all parts of the Indian Territor
and oklahoma are here, and wi
participate in the program. Wi
make the 18th day of April
