Believing with Solomon that to
spare the rod is TO spoil the child,
an earnest parent keeps in a certain
closet a leather strap with which he
administers punishment TO his offspring
when they commit any misdemeanor.
A few days ago he had occasion to
need the strap, but it was missing
from its usual place, and a thorough
search of the entire fat failed to dis
cover it. Then he offered reward of
FIVE cents to whatsoever of his olive
branches could tell him what had be-
come of the lost article. "Gimme the

That Alden Besse Boat.

The American Hawallan company mas
chartered the fine steamer Riverside
for one year, according to the Portland
Journal, and she will be kept in the
sugar trade and probably will make
trips to the Hawaiian Islands. The
new vessel has capacity for $500 tons
weight and she is therefor a valuable
acquisition to the freighter feet of the
American Hawaiian company. The fol-
lowing is the description of the boat,
as told in the Portland paper;
The fine vessel was built at Moran 8
yard, Seattle, and completed about FIVE
months ago She is modern In every
respect with steam power for every
thing that might save labor. The di-
mansions are: Length, 252h feet;
beam, 411a feet; depth of hold, 1876
feet. Her powerful triple expansion
engines send her along at the rate OF
10h knots.
She is owned by the Charles Nelson
company of San Francisco which also
owns the steamers Charles Nelson,

Ladies and Brethren: When the Ma
sons of Tennessee elected me Grand
Master, they placed upon my brow a
royal crown, ornameuted with the jew
els of their affection, and conferred
upon me the highest honor that can
come to a Mason; and my heart will
ever beat with gratitude to them for
this honor, and when called upon to
respond in their behalf, | always do the
best | can.

the world is done in Tennessee, and if

But why should it not be 50? Ten

when the white-winged angel of peace
again lowered over our Southland, he
told this story to his children around
his fireside home.
1t is indeed remarkable that through
all the ages Freemasonry has not only
held its own but has grown and -four
ished until to-day in every land be-
meath the sun more than two million
men are proudly marching under the
banner of the square and compass.
Surely there must be some vital force
in an institution that has outlived king
doms and dynasties, wars and revolu-
tons, ignorance and fanaticism, and is
to-day a potent factor in the affairs of
men.
| answer, it is because this grand old
institution of ours is founded upon the
Holy Bible and permeated with the
principles of morality, with charity as
its cornerstone and love as the key
stone that binds our sacred arch.
Freemasonry has its secrets, it is true;
but they are useful only as means of
self-protection. It's principles are not
secret. Its charity is as broad as the
wants of humanity. Its love encircles
the globe. Its splendid deeds shine like
jeweled stars in lands of darkest night
Its heavenly brightness Eliminates the
armament of bigotry and hate. 1t is
the advance guard of civilization, the
harbinger of concord, and the blessed
messenger of peace.
Freemasonry cheers the heart of wild
owhood; it sustains the helpless orphan
it soothes distress: it brings peace and
comfort to the sick and the sorrowing,
and when at last death enters the home
it solemnly and reverently consigns the
remains of the deceased brother to
mother earth, there to await the resur-
rection morning,
Pure and gentle womanhood is the
especial ward of Masonry. Who wears
the square upon his heart is the sworn
defender of female innocence. Woe to
the despeiler of womanhood, for unto
him shall fall the swift reward of Ma
sonic justice. Nor time nor place nor
wealth can shield him from the aveng-
ing angel with the flaming sword. In
all ages and in every cline Masonry
has stood like mighty rock in defense
of woman's spotless honor. Freema-
sonry stands for the home; it stands for
pure womanhood; it stands for chivalric
manhood; it stands for liberty and JUS
tice under the law. Every Mason is
charged to be true to his country and
just to his government, to avoid anar-

the ages and which now encircles the
cycles of time, 'Freemasonry."
Brethren, let us turn back three thou
sand years to the birthplace of Masonry
to the land of Judea, to the city, of the
great king. Once more we are in old
jerusalem, on Moriah's sacred crest.
The wondrous temple stands in beauty
and in grandeur. Its golden spear
heads pierce the clouds; its pillars and
pilasters shine Respondent and beauti-
full. Upon it rests the shekina of the
living God. 1t is the pride of Israel,
the marvel of the ages, and splendid
monument to the skill land devotion,
the power and glory of David's royal
son.
1t is the Day of Atonement-the great
white feast of the Jews. From far and
near the assembled tribes Ehave come.
A mighty host is here, .in vestal gar
ments clad, for upon this day the High
Priests shall make atonement for the
peoples sins. Thronged are the temple
courts. Levite and priest, prophet and
king, sinner and saint, are here-for
the iniquities of Inclination shall be
washed away, and thoughsthey were as
crimson they shall become as white as
wool. A mighty hush falls upon the
multitude -prodigious silencei reigns.
All eyes have turned toward the East,
the place of the sanctuary. Purified
by many baths, clad in garments of
spotless white, the High Priest enters
the Holy Palace where in splendor and
glory rests the Spirit of the Most High.
With clean hands, with contrite heart,
with spirit sanctified by prayer, the
High Priest announces the ineffable
name, the great and wondrous name of
God, and when that awful name is pro-
nounced by the lips of the High Priest
in sanctity and purity, that mighty host
of Israel's faithful sons PROSTATE them
selves, falling upon their faces, exclaim-
ing, Blessed be His name and the
power aud glory of His kingdom, for
ever and ever"
Oh, it was an awe-inspiring sight-a
nation PROSTATE at Jehova's feet "a
people bowed in reverential awe. The
poets pen, the painters brush, the
prophets burning words, cannot de-
scribe a scene like this. A nation at
peace with itself, with its Creator, and
with all mankind-the smile of God IL
Illuminating the land.
Brethren, between that day and this
thirty centuries of great deeds and fate
full history roll. The temple, so splendid
and magnificent, around which clus-
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1909-12-03

tered so many hallowed memories, the
center of peoples hopes and prayers,
has been by vandal hands DESTROYED.
The people of the Book, glorious even
in disaster, have been scattered far and
wide to earth's remotest bounds. Proph-
ct and Priest are no more. Altar and
sanctuary have been laid waste. Even
the land of pleasant memories is in the
hands of the stranger. But Freema-
sonry survives More than ten thou
sand temples have arisen in splendor
and glory in every land to testify that
the heritage of our fathers will never
perish from the earth. In every true
Masonic heart the Holy Spirit dwells.
Upon our affairs burn the fires of love
and faith and duty, and, as | stand
here tonight on consecrated ground,
my mind goes back to that great scene
in old Jerusalem. For is this not, too
an occasion set apart for the glory of
God and the honor of Masonry. Have
you not come from far and near to pay
homage to Him, the Architect Supreme,
who holds in His hands the destinies of
men. You have come with clean hands
and contrite hearts to lay upon the altar
of Masonry the first fruits of your love
and devotion, and as I gaze into the
faces of these true and faithful crafts
men they seem to me to shine with
that light and brilliancy that illumi-
mated the face of the High Priest when
he communed with the presence of the
Deity.
To me Freemasonry has a peculiar
charm. My love for it is as immeasur-
able as is the influence of the order for
good To be true Mason is to be a
true man, and true man is Gods ideal
of perfection. | revere the names of
the noble founders of the order. /
honor the names of the noble exem-
plars of its teachings in all the ages,
and love the brethren wherever they
may be found With Masonry rank
and title are of no avail We look
alone to the man.
Far back in the dim and shadowy past
Our noble work begun;
There were present two kings with diadems
And an humble widows son.
Around the same broad trestle- board,
With equal rank they stood
And planned the work for the ages.
For mans unending good.
In our ranks throughout the ages,
Since that eventful day,
Great kings with crowns and widows sons
Have worked the self-same way.
Now. far removed from the shadowy past.
Our work is still so done
And crown alike with love to-day,
Those kings and that widows son. rs
