HISTORY OF MASONRY
TOLD BY JOHN RUPE

History and teachings of Masonry
were studied last night by between
seventy-five and hundred members
of the Webb lodge, No. "a and Rich
mond lodge, 1876 F.. & A. NJ, which
met in joint session.
Robert w. Phillips read the manu-
script entitled King Solomon in His
Temple written by Charles P. Bene-
dict, and John L. Rupe delivered an
address dealing with the early history
of Masonry, it's teachings as they have
been carried down through centuries
and the application of those teachings
to the lives OF the members.
Benedict's address was an historical
reference of King Solomon and the
work that ruler accomplished during
the building OF the temple and during
his reign
Ernest o. Evan presided. The pro-
gram was arranged by Mr.. Evan and
Oscar p. Tauer. A solo by Hugh Foss
was included in the program.
The meeting was held at the sug-
gestion of the Grand lodge committee.
If Masons here think the success of
last nights session justifies it,, other
phases OF Masonry may be taken up
for study.
