was: Sin When 1t Is Finished Bringeth
Forth Death" The doctor traced by ar
gument and illustration the almost unob-
served but fatal nature, of sin as it insid-
iously enters the unbarred door of the HUI
man heart and gradually, but no less sure
ly, captures the affections, perverts the will
sears the conscience and finally exercises
a controlling and dominating power over
the whole man, terminating in the fearful
wages of sin-death.
He then presented the brighter side of
the picture-the sure remedy for the eradi-
cation of sin and avoidance of it's penalty,
not by reformation, not by turning over a
new leaf, not by endeavoring to cover up
and hide from view, nor by banishng from
memory, but rather the sincere acceptance
of the gift of God in Christ.

Masons Return Thanks,

To the Editor of The Star:
The board of control of the Masonic fair
1907, by unanimous vote at it's last meet
ing passed a motion conveying to The
Evening Star the sincere thanks of the
Masonic fraternity in this jurisdiction for
its unfaling aid in the work Of making the
fair a great success. 1t Is my pleasant
duty TO convey to you formally the word
that such action was taken. We found
your columns open to us at all times, and
had it not been for this generous support
the fair could not have been success In
saying these things | am sure that l speak
the sentiments of the fraternity as a
whole.
1t is our desire to express to the public
through you, our thanks for their liberal
support of the fair both in the way of do
nations and attendance while the fair was
in progress. This has been one of the most
successful undertakings of the kind in the
history of the District of Columbia. We
have melted a large sum of money which
will all be applied toward the building of
the new temple at 18th street and New
York avenue, and we sincerely hope that
all OF our friends and well-wishers will be
glad TO have had something to do with SO
laudablc work.
We desire to return our thanks to r. H
Sylvester. major and superintendent of
police. and to the members of the force
under him who looked after the safety and
comfort OF the public at Convention Hall
during the fair, and In this connection we
desire to mention in particular Capt. Sulli-
van and Edwin b. Hcsse of the public COM
fort and order committee, who rendered
service of great value night after night
II Is my pleasure TO say that not an ar
rest was made. a fact which bears testi-
niony 10 the efficiency of the police and de-
tective detail VIM. T. Belt, chief of the
fire department, and 2. w. Nicholson, vice
chairman of Mr.. Belts committee are also
entitled to the thanks of the board of con-
troll and the public. together with the detail
of frfnen working under their direction
Their presence was an assurance to the
large crowds in Convention Hall that there
was no danger from fire. 1t is most graft
flying TO note that in the handling of l2O-
600 people there We're no accidents no ar
rests, and nothing in any way to mar the
pleasure which the fair produced. A num-
Der of articles We're lost in the hall while
the fair was in progress, but nearly all of
them were found and restored to their
owners.
The Masonic fraternity of this jurisdic-
tiontion is proud of what it has accom-
plished the result of the fair of 1907,
but 1t is prouder still of the good will of
this community at large, without which
success would have been impossible.
