RALEIGH. N. c.. April 2o.-In an
urgent appeal to the Masons of the
state by the North Carolina Masonic
Temple building committee, 1t is de-
clared that the work on the temple
here is progressing nicely, but that
funds are badly needed to push the
building to rapid completion. and that
immediate and hearty support by the
North Carolina Masonry Is Imperative.
The appeal points out that the temple
represents home for the grand lodge,
a home for aged and INDECENT brethren:
that the revenue from rentals Will go|
to the establishment and support of
such an institution. and that 1t further
represents forward movement for
Masonry IN North Carolina. The APP
peal is sighed by Grand Master s. NJ.
