MASONIC.
A Temple Devoted Exclusively to the
Craft-TrestlebOard Designs.

Craft-TrestIeboard Designs.
The Masonic temple in Philadelphia
has never had any other source of rev
enue except the fraternity. Its precincts
have never been profaned by the money
changers or sellers of doves. 1t is de-
voted exclusively and entirely, from ''tur-
ret to foundation stone," to the uses of
the fraternity. Its debt has been period
ically reduced until it now Is well within
control and will ultimately be extin-
suished, and withal there has never been
a mortgage or other lien against it, the
bonds representing the debt having the
greatest of all security-the pledge Of the
Freemason's word for their payment

Nothing Higher Than the sublime
Third-south. West and East.
The ''blue LODGE in which the first
three degrees of Masonry are conferred,
is something more than the bedrock or
foundation of the order. 1t is not only
the sum and substance Of Masonry, but
it's beauty, utility and life. All other de-
grees are elegant and sUbserve important
ends in the economy OF the craft. but
there is nothing in what are called the
|'higher degrees that surpass in compre-
hensive significance the sublime third"
II this degree is appropriately named,
and we think it is, there can be nothing
higher, for the sublime is the acme, the
crown, of all excellence.-Trestle Board.

THE HIDDEN PAGE.

She stopped and on her sisters grave
Laid blossoms white snow;
Then lifting up a fair young face,
With happiness aglow,
She softly said, ''How much 1 grieve
Because you never knew
The blessedness of being loved
By one so good and true"
She kis..d the jewel on her hand,
She felt that life was sweet,
And shed pitying tear for her
Who slumbered at her feet.

Above the cross and wreath.

KNIGHTS of Honor.

The increased death rate and conse-

lesson that even the dullest member must
understand. The remedy lies in increased
membership.
1t must be evident by this time to every
man who intends to continue his member
ship in the knights of Honor that the
order needs recruits; that the increase in
cost is, to a great extent, due to the fail
ure of members to assist in carrying on
the work

Dental association to acquire more
knowledge of the condition of children's
teeth at various ages. OF the children of
large number of parochial. industrial

True Religion.
True religion is no mere excitement
of the sensibilities, now narrowed by
fear and now jubilant in hope. 1t is
no mere delight of the understanding
In the doctrines of our faith, but a
warfare and a work-a warfare
against sin and a work for others and
for God.-Rev. Olin Scott Roche, Epis-
copalian, New York.

world to be men. And this would be

have treated the problems uppermost

ANOTHER BREEZE.
Lord ROscbery and the Marquis of

IHns0ONhe nave u
London, August 3.-Another breeze blew
up In the house of lords today as the out
come of the debate on Friday last regard
Ing the allegation that England was not
{ invulnerahle against an attempted inva-
sion. Lord R0sebery today somewhat
testify resented the secretary of state for
war, the marquis of Lansdowne, taking
him to task for suggesting that the COM
mander Of the forces, Lord Wolseley,
ought to come to the house and give his
authority. to the governments military
plans. Lord Rosebery said he did not
propose to be snubbed in the discharge
OF what he considered public duty. The
marquis of Lansdowne. he said, must bs
disabused of the idea that there existed
in the country a blind. veneratea conf
dence in the war office.
The marquis of Lansdowne, replying
said the war secretary was responsible {,
parliament and the commander in chief
was responsible TO the secretary.
other peers having spoken, the premier,
Lord Salisbury, said he understood Lord
Roseberys contention was that the nation
would be much more satisfied If Lord
! Wolseley would come to the house and
express his approval Of Lord Lansdowne's
plans. 1t WAS obvious that IL Lord Wolse-
/ ley could be called upon to do that he
was entitled to express disapproval Lord
Salisbury said he could nat see how that
/ was possible. There was much force In
what Lard Rosebery said, but 1t was OF
an abstract kind.
The subject was then dropped
