DR.. Jenner's Lecture.
PART I.
1.-THE Old Hundred"

Rev Dr. Jenner of England, who is at
present residing in Honolulu, delivered
an able and learned discourse on Free
masonry at the K. NJ. c. A. Hall last
evening. DR. Jenner traced in forcibie
and eloquent language the progress OF
masonry since it's inception to the pres
ent time, dwelling especially on the three
great maxims of the order, Belief in
God, . Hope of Salvation and Universal
Hove of man without regard to sect or
creed"
His descriptions of the various symbols
and their meanings was especially inter
esting and was couched in language suit
able to the uninitisted as well as the
initiated
The hall was not nearly as well filled
as was expected although a fair sized
audience greeted the Rev. gentleman.
The next of the series of lectures will
be discourse on Fashion, which will
doubtless draw q more crowded house.
as many of the fair sex will probably
wish to hear Fashion in all its phases dis
cussed by so eloquent lecturer.
