The Installation cermonies were
characteristic OF the teachings of
Masonry, and brought out in bold re-
lief the purity of the doctrines taught.

the father of all orders.
Following the installation ceremonies,
plates were prepared for about seventy
five members of the two orders and
invited guests, and, to say that every
thing Was in evidence that appeals tC
the inner man is putting it mildly.
| The tables were well laden with delica-
cies, and represented a great deal OF
labor and painstaking care on the part
OF the Eastern Star ladies.
Speeches explaining the workings
and teachings of Masonry were made
by Rev. q. w. Black, Rev. BelIam,
Senator w. w. Williams, Worshipiul
Master Thomas Doll and Il. S. Brock.

represented and promulgated by the
order Senator Williams in his inn
promtu discourse called attention to
the fact that the local lodge of Masons
was organized but four years ago with
membership of thirteen which has
grown in the meantime to a healthy
| lodge of more than thirty members.

that its growth would continue. lie
also called attention to the fact that
the Eastern Star auxiliary has only
lately been organized, but notwith-
standing this fact healthy working
membership has been interested and
the rapid growth to ensue in this
section promised much for Masonry

shipful master, were in keeping with
his usual spirit OF jovialty and good
| cneer.
Mr.. Brock spoke at some length on
the duties OF Masons not only one
toward another, but in their daily in
tercourse with mankind. His con
clusions were the result OF a LIES
time observation and embodied much
logic.
In conclusion the ladies of the
Eastern Star were given vote of
thanks for the part they had taken
in the preparation of the supper which
was heartily seconded by the invited
guests present.
