W., the Degree of Honor lodge was
slowly grinding away at its regular
business last. evening, when suddenly
considerable commotion was heard in
the ante-room. An investigation
revealed about twenty members of

visit with the ladies. They were
prepared for emergencies, had plenty
of good things to eat with them, good
coffee, and came to stay while.
Business was hastily suspended. and
the crowd began to amuse itself in
various ways. All had good time,
and several of the ladies now under
stand why their husbands were so
anxious for them to attend lodge this
particular meeting.

AT VALLEY FORGE.

A few weeks ago President Roosevelt
visited Gettysburg and on that historic
field uttered some words which attract
ed attention by the high ideals of cit
izenship which they set forth.
Yesterday he visited valley Forge
that other spot on which American
courage was put to the supreme test
and again his words ring strong and
clear. In far-away Chicago where the
hosts are deep in the politics of the
hour, there is talk Of deals. trades and
manipulations. While at peaceful VAL
ley Forge the President of the whole
people spends an hour moralizng on
the factors which made and have pre-
served the Union, and on which we
must still rely for our existence as
nation.
Speaking Of the heroes. who suffered
on that historic field. the President
said;
"They struggled against cold, hum
ger, an kinds OF privations and hard
I
had I'm them the spirit that made them
steadfast day after day, month after
month and year after year"
This is the doctrine which the Presi-
dent has preached on many occasions.
and it IS sound and eternall- true. on
numerous occasions he has Impressed
the fact that It applies as much to our
daily living, to everyday citizenship as
it applies to supreme moments when
men contest for principle on the battle
field. To maintain ones convictions IN
political matters, 10 stand steadfast
against corruption and the prostitution
Of the ballot is our duty, day after
day, month after month and year after
year" And it is something for men
who do this 20 feel that they have the
sympathy ana support OF the President
OF the United States.
His remarks are so excellent that we
cannot forbear to quote further:
They set commendable example
and they also lived up to it, They were

THE EplToRs NgxT.

II appears to be a growing custom
for social, patriotic and fraternal so-
cietles TO march to church I'm a body
and have a sermon especially prepared
preached to them. one week It may
be the knights Of the Golden Plume,
and the next the Free and Accepted
Bu-posters. IL is interesting to see
the skill displayed by our pulpit ora
tors In selecting texts that are made to
apply. and which are shown TO have
been written with a more or less def
mite idea of the special occasion which
now makes them pertinent
Now we are rather pleased at this
custom, since 1t shows that our minis
ters are anxious to apply the Gospel to
all classes Of people and to adapt it to
every phase of life. Yet there are old
fashioned preachers who claim that the
Gospel is for men and women, and that
IL is not concerned with the distinc-
tlons Of wealth, position, or associa-
ton due to the institutions OF men, In
other words. they hold that the doc
trlnes Of religion are applicable to the
human soul, stripped Of an conven-
tlonality.
Which view is correct? Perhaps 1t is
not for a secular journal to say. And
who knows but some day a clergyman
may ask the editors TO don their re-
gala, resplendent with the emblems
paste-pot and shears, and march to
church to hear inspired words apple
cable to their calling. 1t would make
good copy, wouldn't itg
