not end with bis death, as the setting stars
which sink beneath darkening west; but like
the morning star, the Mason's radiance melts
away in the glory of the rising sun of right

ton spoke thus in addressing Columbia and

II stood one day on Mount Moriah, in Je-
rusalem," said DR.. Wharton, while great
vision passed before my mind In the fourth
year of the reign of King Solomon the mag
nificent temple was founded. Thirty three
hundred masters, eighty thousand fellow
craftsmen and seventy thousand entered ap-
prentices. working together in perfect har-
mony, reared building which has been the
wonder and admiration Of the world.
"Out of this great organization has grown
the greatest brotherhood of any earthly COM
bination The principles and lives of Masons
have set forth to mankind the fact of q COM
mon brotherhood which honors God and
blesses the world.
'.They have always put God first and His
inspired Book lies open upon the altar OF every
lodge. Every symbol teaches truth and
every step advances the interests and promotes
the welfare of the true Mason.
Faith, hope and love is the handspring oi
their work, and the greatest of these is love-
Faith fulfills her mission in the tultilment oi
Gods promises. Hope finds frultion when we
reach the better land bnt love helps and sus-
tains US here and lives on through the endless
ages of eternity
