OF the United States, SAID, to some
extent it was brought about by Mr.
Roosevelt, who outside of the busi-
ness world used Incorporate Ian
guage; whose interest in the coun-

Last Wednesday sailors from the
United States naval vessels at Nor
folk, Va, started a riot by beating

The following rules, if followed,
will ruin the best lodge or in fact
any department in Masonry: First,
the presiding officer to be a crank;
second, know it all, and can't be
told; third, allow himself to be in
stalled, then show his inability to do
the act; fourth, gong to have his
way or run the whole thing in the
ground Result: The brethren will
become careless; no meetings. The
question is asked, What is the cause?
Brethren in selecting officers should
be careful in their selections. The
proper qualifications are: Executive
ability, fair amount of education,
very large amount of courtesy Cor

will result in success.
When we profess to be Christians
the first great object is meekness. 1t
makes us tired to see some people
who profess to be Christians. If you
watch these same people it will be
found that they do the same as the
worldly people, and then hide their
rascality under the cloak of the
Church. In due time they will de-
scend to the warm place presided
over by his Satanic Majesty, viz,
the Devil.

the pastor and told in glowing terms
OF the esteem in which the reverend
gentleman is held by the entire
league.
