War Rather Than Pho
hibiting II.

About 80 members of the
brotherhood of the First NJ Z. church
and guests from the First Presbyte-
rian attended the luncheon and
meeting at the former church Mon
day night and listened 70 the talk by
Rev. Loren NJ. Edwards of Nisha-
waka, on The Lessons of the Great

DIR. Edwards attacked the extern
sive preparedness propaganda being
advocated on many sides in this
country today and showed how vast
armament instead of keeping nations
out OF war rather. by stirring up the
fear OF nations. leads TO war. He
told of his impression in travelling
through Europe shortly before the
present war broke out.
Music for the evening was furn-
ished by Mrs. Dan Pyle's orchestra.

According TO the janitor of the

that water had never stood in the

1t has been claimed that several
cases of typhoid fever which have
occurred among the children of the

of the school, but this fact has new

the meeting that the playground
at the school is inadequate in size

Their wisdom was thoroughly demon

nothing to be heard but encouraging

Masonry in Missouri had held it's
own against more difficulties than had
ever beset any organization of its
kind in this section of the land and
had triumphed through the very
strength of it's own inherent power.
True, the work in this state has never

and it has been very satisfactory,

doubtless proved a real blessing in
that it has placed the colored men
Tor eclearly upon their own respon-

upon their own resources. The idea
Of esoteric intercourse was also rem
dered more intangible eby the grow

pie against the colored people of

A black man, even a black Mason,

milton" had to be given up. 1t prob
ably will never be taken up again un-
less it is urged by the white people
themselves. That will be neal the
millennium and many other good things
will be going on at the same time.
Thinking Negroes are growing
weary of all this idle contention over
that which would be valueless even
were it achieved. Masonry as a great
guardian of the people asks for moth
ing more than to be given room to
exert itself through itself. 1t demands
no fawning sympathy, no patronizing
nudging in the ribs from "Marse
Jawn" or anyone else. Its final safety
depends alone upon its diligence in
living up to its own standards OF man
hood and integrity. Relying upon
these and keeping them constantly in
mind in every relation of crafthood
will absolutely insure continued use
fulness and success. Masonry is big
ger than any race and therefore is
not to be effected by any race weak
nesses like prejudice, caste hatred or
ignorance. These may render the
ideals of the society less cogent and
effective but the real ttenets are not
at all molested.
