| On Sunday evening the Rev. John

Annuuciation, was the special preach.
er at the Masonic service. There was
| a splendid attendance. The Rev. Mr..
| Foster preached from Genesis IL
and 26-27. The preacher said: There
are some people who do not admire
/ Nature. There are others who obey
the lower instincts instead OF the high.
er. There are doubters also who see
nothing but their narrow life. He also
| referred TO the cruelty of the present
| European war. but saw in il great rea-
son for hope. "Watchman. what OF
the night? The watchman said the
lmOrning cometh." Gods sun is shin
ling behind the clouds and the brighter
day is coming Let Us have that Vi
sion. There are many strraks OF light
thar show Us that God day IS coming.
/ Il is the duty of Nasons and also the
/ duty of members of the Eastern Star
/ % help bring about this brighter day.
/ old conceptions Of cod are rapidly
| passing away. To-day love and laugh
| ter are the work of God. TIE teaching
of Christ is one of happiness. True
/ followers of Christ are those who en-
/ JOY life and are not pessimistic. \ bet
/ ter day is coming because our views
are broader Our conception Of broth
! erhOd is also changed. God is Gre
ator. who builds and man is his great
/ est work Consequently the proper
conception of man is upright. The He
| brew, the Christian and the Masonic
conception is the same. Man must be
upright with a face that can look into
| the face of the Almighty. But some
how this picture is abused by the
| wicked. cruel and unlOvin2 hand of
ways and motives seem to be TO debase
man. But the whole purpose of Ma
sOnry is to lift up mankind and as He
who said, Let there be light" so
should We entieavor. The preacher ad-
vOcated most emphatically honesty to
the fraction of penny, brOtherly hon
esty beCaus God is our Heavenly Fa-
! ther and Jesus Christ is our Elder
! Brother. We must lift up and not
| drag down. Let us therefore live true
and worthy lives and strive to scatter
sunshine by living the true life of a
| Christian and of a Mason. Oh let us
see the beauty and glory of Nature and
remember that beautiful lies lived for
God, ought to be used for Gods ser
vice through the true conception OF
brotherhood.
