FORECAST FOR ROC
WEATHER CONDITIONS.
brisk to hard winds.

Rains on the north Pacific coast and
from the northern Rocky mountain
sections eastward TO the north Allan
tic coast have resulted from the south
western storm, the center of which
remains over Kansas and from areas
OF moderately low pressure which are
central over Alberta and the coast of
Maine. The northwestern area of
high pressure and cool weather has
moved TO the upper lakes, while the
north Pacific high is overspreading
the Rocky mountain region and is
causing colder weather as far south
as Arizona. On account Of this dis
tribution OF air pressure. unsettled
weather is indicated for this vicin-
ity with showers tonight or Thursday

Tolerant and Reverent.

Masonry is tolerant of all faiths, but
Masonry is not without faith. 1t has
its Bible, its altar, its prayer and its
lessons of reverence. AS it was in the
beginning, so is it now, and ever shall
be; where Free Masonry does well its
work, there will be found a school of
tolerance, consistent with a religious
belief. Anarchists are not found in its
ranks. Distdrbers of peace and order
are beyond its borders. When you learn
that Masons are taught to divide their
time properly, to labor cheerfully. to
make generous provision for their
families, to cultivate order, to labor for
peace, to strive for justice, to oppose
usurpation by church or state, and to
regard both with affection and rever-
ence, never to begin any great or i'm
portant undertaking without invoking
the aid of Diety, to res oect others
opinions as assiduously as you hold your
own, then you will not be surprised to
learn that almost every President of
this country, the signers of the Declara-
ton of Independence and the voters for
the constitution with but few excep-
tons were Masons. The Rev. George
Van de Water in Churchman.

For the past year or two Miss Langs-

and with that organization has covered
much of the eastern section of the coun-

Philadelphia Public Ledger:
1T is seldom that critics, audiences
and professional musicians have been so
entirely unanimous in opinion as they
are concerning the voice of Marie Stone
Langston. Aside from the interpretive
charm and artistry of her singing, the
voice itself is of such exceptional range
that she easily transcends the ordinary
limits of the contralto repertoire. When
Miss Langston, with the Philadelphia
Orchestra, sang Horatio Parker's prize
aria at the Academy of Music in the
spring of last year, the more than two
octaves demanded by the composition
were given by her without the slightest
evidence Of vocal effort or impairment

BISHOP ANDERSON AT THE PARK
HIS Sunday Forming Sermon One of
of Great Interest.

A few weeks past Hon. William J.
Bryan, United State Secretary of State,
lectured in the amphitheatre at Noun
tain Lake Park, on "The Making of
Man." 1t was splendid, instructive
and profitable lecture, the work of
master. Last Sabbath morning a re-
markable coincidence occurred, when
Bishop William F. Anderson. of the
Methodist Episcopal church preached in
the same amphitheatre, magnificent
sermon on the subject of 1.-The Build
ing Up of the Kingdom" Without any
knowledge of Mr.. Bryan's subject or
is treatment, the Bishop began where
Mr.. Bryan stopped, and showed how
God took this man, and saved him. no
matter how low he had fallen, how
great sinner he had become. Through
the redemption provided 10y Christ, he
was regenerated and became a co-worker
with God in Building Up the King
dom. 1t was an able, clear, convinc-
ing PRESENTATION VI dIRuileHIS anu IdcIS,
in most interesting manner, beauti-
fully illustrated with striking incidents,
which held the closest attention of the
audience from the beginning to the
closing of the discourse.
The Bishop is an earnest, attractive
speaker. His sermon was thoughtful
production. His conclusion was
strong presentation of the duty of every
saved man to be actively engaged in
"The Building up of the Kingdom" of
God. Such sermons are productive of
much good in the strengthing the church
membership and inspiring it to more
earnest work for God and mankind.
