FORCEFUL SERMON
FOR THE MASONS
Rev. Mr.. .Thayer Delivers
Special Discourse.
200 MASONS PRESENT
Service Held at First Baptist Church and
Preachers Theme Was "The
Temple of the Body"

Upon invitation of Palmetto lodge
No. 10 and Laurens No. 260, order of
Masons, the Rev. W. E. Thayer, of the
First Baptist church, preached special
sermon before the members of those
lodges and many visiting Masons last
Sunday morning. There were, in addi-
ton to the usually large congregation,
and time-honored order present at the
service. The sermon was appropriate
in every respect and delivered with that
peculiar force and power that charac-
terizes the preaching of the Rev. Mr..
Thayer. The subject of the discourse
was "The Temple of the Body"
founded upon the 10Th and goth verses
of the seventh chapter of Corinthians,
Know we not that your body is tenn
pie of the Holy Spirit which is in you,
which we have from God? and we are
not your own; for we were bought with
a price: glorify God therefore in your
body"
The preacher followed very closely
and used most skilfully much of the en-
hlcmatic language of the Masonic or
der in the treatment of his subject, at
all times during his discourse stressing
the Importance of making every en-
blem of the order an active and potent
force in the daily life of the individual.
The theme of Sunday mornings SER
mon, as so clearly announced and en-
largcd upon, was in substance: "The
human body is a temple, divinely be-
and care for, in time and for eternity.
The plans of specification should be di-
rected with rule, gavel, plumb, square.
level and troWel; clothed in a robe of
purity; supported with the foundations
of wisdom, strength and beauty; sane
titled unto God, the great Mason in the
service of mankind and through this
sanctitication finally glorifed, as a body,
into the likeness of Jesus Christ, the
keystone in the arch of the great edi-
flee, planned by the infinite intelligence
and being wrought by him through the
lnstrumentality of mankind"
Masonry is not religion" said Mr..
Thayer; and it was here chat he made
a powerful appeal to the congregation
for the personal acceptance Of per-
sonal Saviour, since that was the only
salvation for any, even Masons, great
and good as were the principles of the
order. The closing paragraph of the
sermon was indeed a gem of thought
and expressed in the most beautiful of
terms. Mr.. Thayer said that the object
of life was the search for light and
truth, as was the pathway of one
through the steps of masonry. with
the body sanctifed by the indweling of
the Holy Spirit, " continued the speaker,
"the builder of life may go on, pur-
suing the object of his quest, which is
the great white light of truth stream
ing from the throne God; it is not given
to man to behold that great light, for
even as but few moments ago the orb
of day was eclipsed and men could not
behold it except through darkened
glaas, so must they look unto God
through, the incarnation of Jesus

LAURENS CHAMBER

Reports of the Officers of the Organi.
cation Made---M --MembersIip Fee
Reduced 0ne-HaIf.

The faithful few of the Chamber of
Commerce met in the court house last
Thursday afternoon, this being the first
annual meeting of the body since its
organization last summer. Despite the
numerous announcements of the meet
ing the attendance was discouragingly
small, but those who were present
seemed enthusiastic in the work of
building up the city, and it is safe to
predict that they will accomplish much,
in spite of the small support received
from the majority of the members.
The Chamber of Commerce is still alive
and doing business.
Reports from President Aiken and
Secretary McCuen were received; also
an account of receipts and disburse-
ments from Treasurer Craig. The main
work of the Chamber of Commerce
thus far has been that of advertising
the city; this according to Mr.. McGuen's
report has been done in special ed-
tion of The State and through the
printing of facts about Laurens on the
backs of envelopes sent out by the
merchants and others. Something over
fifty thousand of these envelopes have
been mailed out of the city. Mr.. Nc
Cuen has, carried on correspondence
with numbers of prospective citizens
and filled needed position in giving
out information about the industries of
the city. No reports were heard from
the various committees.
1t was decided to lower the member
ship fees from $12 per year to Sc. paw
able quarterly. The old board of direc-
tors were reelected and requested to
meet tomorrow afternoon at 5 O'Clock
to elect officers. The Inconvenience of
the hour of meeting last week prevented
any lengthy discussions on subjects per-
tanning. to the public good. However,
it is expected that another meeting
will be held soon, at which many topics
will be discussed freely.
