shrIners Go Not Represent seri-
Gus Side Of Grand Lodge.
Grand Master Welt,

Grand Master Walter II. White
head, of the South Carolina Grand
Lodge, contributes a card to tie
Charleston Evening Post Thurs
day, called Drawing the distinction
between Ancient Free Masonry and
the order OF the Mystic Shrine with
the end In view that the public should
not confuse the serious order with the
amusement branch of Masonry, about
which SO much is being written and
talked now in connection with the
coming celebration Of Shriners day at
the Exposition. Grand Master White
head explains that the Mystic Shrine
with all its amusements and attrac-
tions is not Masonry, although the
only prerequisite for membership in the
Mystic Shrine is that the applicant
must be either a knight Templar or a
Mason of the Bind degree of the Scot
tish Rite.
Among other things Grand Master
Whitehead states:
It is to be expected that the pro
fane," the uninitiated who has never
learned the beautiful system of moral
ity that Masonry inculcates, may con-
clude from the absurd, farcical parade
and the reference to hotsands, hot
air, sober camels, astute astrol-
oger, rope ends. and other fantastic
and nonsensical terms, that Masonry is
unworthy the attention Of serious and
dignified men.
Such, however. is not the case
The Shrine should not be confounded
with the Masonic system. as tbs
neither Masonry nor branch of
Masonrsv While it diverrs It's mem

Louisville, April 2-The move for

prising adherents of all parties opposed
