Sermon In Commemoratisn OF 81. Johns
Day Delivered In CoOperstswn.


CooPERsrowS. n. Y. June 22.-Bishop
Henry c. Potter Of New York delivered the
sermon in commemoratiou Of st. Johns
Day in Christ Church. this village, last
evening. The services were attended by
more than two hundred Masons in body.
Bishop Potter took for his text I. Kings.
", IS: And Soomons builders and
Hiram's builders did hew them. and the
stone squarers; so they prepared timber
and stones TO build the house
The Bishop spoke at length upon the
great antiquity Of the Masonic order, ex-
pressing his belief that its origin would be
traceable to an earlier period even than
the building OF King Solomon's temple.
He dwelt also upon the wide extent OF
Masonry, relating his own personal ex-
periences in finding members Of the order
in every Oriental and European city which
he visited on his trip around the world
two years ago.
The Bishop called attention to the fact
that in spite Of the great latent strength OF
the organic alton throughout the civilized
world It had never, in any country or at any
time, attempted to exert poll, ical influence:
and yet, he said, it long had been dream
Of his that some time the Masonic fraternity.
by means Of examinations in its lodges,
might be able to Promulgate among the
and patriotic responsibility. He called at
tention to what he believed to be the three
grandest characteristics of Masonry. First,
the spirit OF the brotherhood Of man. which
he declared TO be stronger in the Masonic
body than in the general body of the Church;
second, the service which grew out Of that
spirit, and. third, the lofty ideals embodied
In its teachings and rituals.
The Bishop wore the Grand Chapain's
jewel, which he graciously transferred to
the venerable DR.. Lord Of Mississippi as
the doctor pronounced the benediction.
The collection. to which the Bishop added
SIS, is TO be duplicated by the local Masonic
bodies and forwarded to the Masonic Or
phans' Home.
