Sharp County record., 1916-01-07
THE TRUTH STANDS

The Record has no desire what
ever for a eabfesl with any OF its
EXCHANGES. Life is too short Tor
that, and there are too many things
10 talk about that will afford more
pleasure and at least afford an op'
portunity to do more good. This
paper is not engaged to help fight
the battles Of any politician, and is
not going to be. The Record will
compare either profits and friends
with those of Its contemporaries
which seem to have a hatred for
the truth and evidently operate
with a conscience made of rubber
Having, we believe, proved to the
aalIsfaction of every honest man
that the charge of some individu'
Gle and some newspapers 10 tne el-
feet that we are not supporting a
certain candidate for office because
he would not give US an office, any
further pursuit of that subject upon
our part would be out of place and
rIdIculous. That proof was made
Ia Justice to ourself and to our
friends, and nothing else Is required
Of us in that matter.
Some newspapers may ignore
that proof and continue to repeat
their charges to their own readers
but they probably could not DO
otherwise with their peculiar order
Of Intelligence and honesty.

ORIGIN OF MASONRY

The following remarks were made
by Claude Coeer at a public install
latiOn of officers at the Masonic
lodge in Evening Shade on the
night of December 9th, and this
publication is made at the request
of members of that fraternity.
The program says that | am to
make an address on the Origin of
Masonry, but | feel that any ex-
tended remarks, if were able to
make them, would be out of place
at this hour, for the reason that at
least two of the five human senses
inform me that there is an abund-
ance of something in this room
which is more tempting and per-
haps more substantial, to the inner
man than anything | am able to
offer by word of mouth. | trust,
too, that it is not expected of me
that | shall say much concerning
the first founding of Free Masonry,
because that is subject which
would require more time, if not
more ability, than | am able to give
to it on this occasion.
If by the origin of Masonry it is
meant the time and place when and
where Masonry was first instituted
or organized, suffice it to say now
that Masonry is the most ancient,
and for that reason at least, the
most honorable secular institution
known to man. 1t is no disparage-
ment to other fraternal orders, all
of which no doubt have noble pur-
poses and very many worthy deeds
to their credit, to say that Free
Masonry is their parent and that
they are patterned after a much
older and therefore al much nobler
art or science, the secrets of which
have never been written, and whose
work and principal tenets have been
locked for ages within faithful
breasts and thus kept and perpetu-
ated from time immemorial to this
good night.
But all this must not be taken to
mean that Masonry is the largest
fraternal institution in the world,
1t is not. No true Masonic lodge
anywhere aspires merely to great
ness in numbers of membership,
yet our lodges everywhere welcome

THE NEW YEAR

\ The Record hopes that the veal
\ 1916 may be very pleasant one
for all our readers and their fam.
lilies.
We trust that genuine happiness
and good cheer may abound about
their firesides throughout the en-
tire year. We trust that they may
have good health, and, while all
cannot be sunshine and into every
life some rain must come, we trust
\ all our friends may have much
more of joy than sadness and that
4 the Shadows, when they come, will
be both met and endured bravely
. and leave no serious imprint upon
life or character. We trust that
the signs of the times are true and
that there are better things ahead
for Very many of our friends as
| result of their industry. We trust
for bountiful crops in 1916 and
dO0d prices, so that every man may
have fair and just return for the
expenditure of his energy in honest
labor.
We trust that all of us will speed
Lily come to a better understanding
Of one another; that interests may
become more mutual, and the COM
mon good become the thought of
all alike; that passion may be re-
placed by patience and sound reas-
Ing and that prejudice may give
way to honest consideration and a
deep-rooted love for the square
DEAL
Ia all, We trust that wh0n the
year now so new is gone we will
all be better men and women and
boys and girls, because of the fact
that the opportunities and lessons
Of The year have not been wasted
or PASSED unnoticed, and may an
other new year find us all stronger

Of life only those won in the truth
and upon merit will last in their
effects or stand very long to our

within their walls worthy men of
every creed, acting upon the we'll
established and well-grOunded priE-
ciple that it is the internal and not
the external qualifications that
recommend a man to become
Mason. Whatever and whenever
the first origin of Free Masonry, it
is true that Masonry now encircles
the globe Masons are now to be
found in every cline, from north to
south and from east to west, and
Mason's charity and a Mason's
protection are both sure and CO.
extensive.
However, let US hold that it is
more beautiful to think of origin
in this instance as reason for es-
tablishment" or purpose" rather
than as a mere matter of age.
about which there might be a diff
ference of opinion. The main glory
of the church is its purpose; the
great first and fundamental reason
for which it was established and
for which it exists. Take that away
from the church and it wonld be-
come practically a useless organi-
zation without a meaning. Men,
bers of the great political parties
glory in their party because of the
purposes of these parties as men
understand them. Take away
these purposes and the life Of the
political party is consumed and
destroyed. Every worthy organi-
zation, with the possible exception
of political parties, has its own pur-
poses, its own peculiar work, ar
ranged separately and distinctly so
as not to interfere with or antago-
nize the interests or purposes of
other organizations, and for this
reason men may have place to
labor in any of them without vio-
lating their consciences cen'an obi
cation due to another organization.
So it is with Masonry.
Masonry is not a spiritual insti-
tuition essentially, although the Or
der is founded squarely upon the
Holy Writ and all its teachings
point to a higher life. Masonry is
not a political institution, and gives
none of its time or attention to
those matters that peculiarly inter-
est the political world. The origin
of Free Masonry therefore must

John W. Crockett h a s retired
from the race for governor, and the
cause for his retirement is the same
old story. He declares that he has
not enough money to push his cam
paien to successful termination.
The man who runs for governor
these days must literally have
barrel of money, and he must spend
it. Of course the successful candi-
date gets his money back in the
honors Of the Office. Everybody
understands that.
O.
The state will be in the turmoil
of politics during the next three
months. Those who do not get
excited over politics or the caDdi-
dates will be the best off when the
thing is all over and peace is restor-
ed. Keep your head, and that will
insure that you will cast a much
better ballot.

the attention Of our young lady
