Savannah Lodge Is Oldest.

This charter was burned during the
occupation of Savannah by the British
in 177S, and another, tie one under
which the lodge now operates, was not
secured until 1886. There is, therefore
no written record Of the history of the
lodge prior to tina. time, except as
shown upon the records of tie Grand
Lodge of England. The verbsl record
has. however, been handed down faith
fully from generation to generation
among the members of the craft. The
Charleston Lodge, which, is also known
as So,omon's, and the Royal Exchange
Lodge of Boston, both claim to be as
old If not elder than Solomon's Lodge
but it is said that an examination Of
the records of the Grand Lodge Of
England viii disclose proofs in favor
of the contention of the Savannah
lodge.
The 175th anniversary of the lodge
is to be celebrated with democratic
simplicity. The usual anniversary work
vail be gone through with, followed by
the reports of TIE retiring officers and
the election of new ones. 1T is pos
sible that some of the oder members
OF the lodge will make addresses, bui
there will be no programme of thi
character. A handsome souvenir me-
dallion Will be presented to each men,
Ger of the lodge who is present. Inyi-
tations to members of the order to
join the lodge ON this occasion were
issued yesterday.

BIBLE GIVEN IT
BY OGLETHORPE
.SOlOmOR'S Lodge to Cele-
brate I75th Anniversary.

Savannah, Ca. Dec. 7.-Oficers and
members Of solomon's Lodge of Ma
sons are preparing to celebrate the
10th anniversary of its organization.
Dec. Is.
Among the several valuable relics
(which this lodge, said to be the oldest
in point of continuous existence in
America, possesses is an old Bible
presented to the original lodge by
Gen. Ogletkorpe, who Was the founder
of Missionary in Georgia, The record OF
the Bible is complete. The title page
bearing the signature of the founder
of the state and the lodge, has been
torn away by vandals, but the book
otherwise is intact. 1T is being pre-
served as a priceless heirloom by the
lodge.
Was Twice ChriStened.
The story of the town of Sunbury
being the birthplace of Masonry in
Georgia is said to be mythical by those
best posted in Masonic history. The
town, which is now dead. was not
laid out until 1858, at which time
0glethorpe, alleged to have founded
the lodge there. was in England CON-
manding a division of the British
army. Solomon's Lodge dates from
1875, during which year it was char
tered by the Grand Lodge of England
The original charter, made out in the
name of King Solomon's Lodge" was
repudiated by the co'ontsts after they
had gotten their first breath of free
dom, and another charter. reorganiz-
ing Solomon's Lodge but eliminat-
ing the word King from the title was
petfioned for. The original charter
was brought over by Oglethorpa upon
his first voyage. The lodge was prob
ably organized in 1873. soon after the
colony WIS founded, but its official
history can only be reckoned from the
date Of its charter.

abuses corrected, and insist that the

complaints must come to you and you

tage, but wholly lacking the incentive
of necessity, who if possessed, with more
power of initiative and endurance could
launch an: enterprise with strong
promise Of success. With many alIur-
ing opportunities at hand, she critically
weighs various achievements that have
proven splendid openings long sought
by others, and indifferently passes them
by only to founder in a sea of doubt
and aimless longing.
She may be interested in art or in
some of the great uplift movements.
but she cannot always forego the mo-
mentary indulgences incident to life
of ease long enough to assume one of
responsibility.
Her reading is superficial. She
glances at page and. reads a few
lines here and there perhaps a para
graph and lays the subject aside little
realizing that this desultory habit is
fatal to all deep and lasting purposes.
Seldom do we find woman brought
up in the correct home atmosphere with
much opportunity to read, who is not
interested in some phase Of philan-
thropic or i-philanthropic work.
If she but read with a. serious pur-
pose, she prepares her mind with the
view to lifting it from sordid interests,
but unless she apply the result Of this
study actively to some betterment Of
conditions her best aspirations deterio-
rate into idle circuitous thinking which
results in nothing substantial or bene-
f1cia.

way Of putting it.
Women of leisure are doing so many
beautiful and original things now
adays in fancy work. that the arts and
crafts teacher has assumed position
Of deferential importance wherever she
may hold forth.
What more dignified Or inspiring work
than that of intoxicating into the minds
OF the rising generation the knowledge
Of practically expressing in concrete
form the artistic conceptions that mean
so much to the home life Of America.
The carving of tables and chairs,
tabourettes and wood boxes. The beat
ing of intricate designs on sheets Of
brass for the adornment Of fancy
boxes or other ornamental uses. These
together with the weaving of baskets
and rugs, the making of bead and

the things that may be taught indus
