Over 40 members of Hiram lodge, F. & A. M., attended service at Trim ity church, Sunday afternoon, and Rev J. H. George. The Masons met in the basement of Trinity church and marched into the church in body, headed by the marshal of the lodge, A. B. Blakeman. As the men reached the church they opened ranks and Worshipful Master Lesher and the two deacons marched between them and led the way into the church. MT George chose hisstext from Luke l: SO He said in part: WOrshipful master and brethren: l welcome you here to-day. We are assembled here to-day to think of that wonderful man, St John the Baptist, that patron saint of Masonry whose life influenced his tsne. He was man whose greatness exceeded any other that had been born ought to be the means of laying the foundations of righteousness. John, the Baptist, was born in country parsonage in country village. Human character will not attain its highest ideals with it's interests taken up by the rush of the busy life but by look ing into the heart and studying the things of God. John, the Baptist, was also poor boy. Advantages are not to be despised. Wealth has it's power and privileges, but it is not the cl1sef thing. John, the Baptist, had such training of the soul, that his external circumstances were as nothing. Wealth and station were as nothing as the clear eye with which he could discern God. The secret of his power was that he was a genuine man, and that is the secret of any life. When we trim our sails to the popular breeze, we think we are safe, but it is not so. John, the Baptist, told the simple truth. John, the Baptist, was the man who laid the foundation of the Christian religion. You Masons are taught that faithfulness to truth is more precious than life. The world is full of things that distract us from the truth, too full of easy-going things that make us compromise our prin- ciples.

Thirteen Die From Heat

New York, July 14.-Thirteen deaths
attributed to the hot weather were re-
corded in New York Thursday. In ad-
dition a score or more of persons were
overcome by the heat and are under
treatment in the city hospitals. Despite
drenching rainfall during the fore
noon and scattered showers through
out the day, the thermometer rose
to a maximum of IS degrees. During
the afternoon the drop was more de-
cided than for the past five days and
a strong westerly breeze is bringing a
share of relife. The high humidity
and the continuance throughout the
night of temperatures varying only
slightly from those of the hottest
hours of the day have caused the
heavy fatality attending the present
hot spell in this city.
