closed his sermon with tie following
quotation:
who wears the square upon his breast
Does in the eyes of God attest
And in the face OF man.
That all his actions do compare
With the Divine. the unerring Square
That squares great virtues plan.
Who wears the Cab! type divine
Abhors the atmosphere OF sin,
And trusts in God alone:
His Father. Maker, Friend. he knows
He vows, and pays 10 God his vows,
AS by the eternal throne.
You wear the square, but have you got
That thing the square denotes?
Is there within your inmost soul
That principle which should control
Your actions, words and JhoughJs2
The square OF virtues il there,
oh, YOU that wear the Mason square?
You wear the compass! Do you
Keep within that circle due,
That's circumscribed by law divine?
Excluding hatred. envy, sin
Including all that's true.
The moral compass draws the line
And let's no evil passion in"
Most Of the members of the lodge
We're present. and also several past
masters and members from Washing

visit TO a distant friend who had a tele-
phone I'm her house. During the after,
noon the farmer visited a near neigh~
Dor who also bOasted a house telephone
and who persuaded the farmer TO can
up his wife as a little surprise
Following instructions he put the re-
ceiver TO his ear, and. after the usual
preliminaTies he shouted.
Hello. Janeh'
just then a fash Of lightning caused
by the heat of the summer day struck
the wire. and he fell sprawiing to the
floor. The neighbor was chagrined thar
the old man should meet with such an
accident on his first trial of a teie-
phone. and assured him that such a
thing would not happen except in case
of storms. But the farmer was con-
vinced Of the possibilities of communi-
cation. however. and would not try
again. He rose 10 his feet. and shakI
ing his head knowingly, said:
