Nail for the Soldiers

In trying to make conditions
favorable with the soldiers in
this country and abroad. the
Postmaster General has issued
certain orders relative to the
transmission of mails. One Of
the far reaching orders is to the
effect that if magazines have
printed on their front cover the
following notice the magazine
may be left at any postoffice and
sent to some soldier. The print
ed notice On the magazine is,
NOTICE TO READERS
When you finish reading this
magazine place 1-cent stamp
ON this notice. hand same to a
postal employ and it will be
placed i'm the hands of our SOL
diers or sailors at the front.
No Wrapping No Address
These magazines at the post
office are made up into packages
and sent to Wheeling where dis
tribution is made.
Letters to soldiers in the
American army are subjected to
the ordinary rates no matter
where the soldier is stationed.
All mail is delivered the same to
them as to civilian.
Don't forget that the boys will
appreciate anything you may
send them, and by all means
send the magazines. Of course it

Men an Brethren here assem-
bled:
Be it known unto you that we
are lawful Masons, free and ac-
cepted as well in this as all other
countries. wherin the midnight
darkness surrouning primeval
nature, has been succeeded by
the noontide glare Of light fol-
lowing in the course of ciyiiiza-
ton.
AS an institution, we claim t.
be true and faithful to the laws
of man. and sincere and just to
the constituted civil AUTHORITIES
of the various countries in which
we make our homes, scattered
though they be throughout the
confines Of the terrestrial sphere
In ancient times, beyond the
memory of man. our operative
brethren wen e engaged by solemn
obligations to erect magnificent
buildings, which by Their
strength would be of service t.
mankind, and by their beauty ar
adornment Of the earth, the great
mother Of mankind, and with
whose dust all the sons of mer
must sooner or later mingle.
Following in the course of these
our ancient brethren, it hath long
been the custom of speculative
Masons. at the request Of proper
authorities. to lay with the cere.
monies peculiar TO the order, the
foundation stones of buildings of
an acknowledged public nature.
and such as are to be erected for
the purpose of Masonry, and in
accordance with such custom,
under the delegated authority of
NJ. w. Grand Lodge of A. +. &
A. M. for the state of West Vir-
GINA, the cornerstone of the
structure 70 be erected upon this
site has been 10 the presence OF
all these witnesses. successfully
laid, and beg leave to express
the hope that all who are present
will join with me in the desire
that when the structure Is COM
pleted it will be an adornment to
the community and a lasting tri-
butte TO the enterprising spirit
which caused it to be built.
1t is true that as free and &C
ceptsd Masons we have conc saled
from the eyes Of man secrets
which cannot be divulged and
which have never been discover.
ed, but it is likewise true that
these secrets are honorble and not
repugnant 10 the laws of either
God or man. Having been trans
nitted TO US by our brethren who
have preceded US in the great
march of time and who have
been gathered 10 their fathers.
it is our duty to transmit to pos-
terity who will guard and protect
them when the golden bowl Of
our existence is broken and we
have journeyed 10 that bourne
from which no traveller retorns.

mental principles and precepts Of

though emphatically. taught to
the craft by means of that valu-
able instrument which has been
today used in proving that the
plane of the upper surface of the
stone before Us is horizontal.
BY the teachings of Masonry
we are led to believe in, and to
encourage, the universal brother
hocl Of man. The humblest citi-
Zen residing in the great city of
London and the heir apparent to
the throne of England may sit
side by side in Masonic gather
ing and neither is better than the
other. In that sacred place no
title of nobility is known and no
regard is had to the possession of
wealth or honor. Men may diff
fer upon great questions of
church or state, which may be
for the time agitating the public
mind, but when they come togeth-
er az brethren of the ancient or
der, upon these subjects as to
which they cannot agree, they
are as silent as the gentle breeze
that fails to ruffie the surface of
a placid lake.
1t is true that through the por-
tails Of this noble institution have
entered many men whose private
life and conduct are not above
reproach, but let it be remember
ed that no society or institution
composed of human beings has
ever yet reached perfection. Let
1T be remembered that the menu
bers of this glorious order are
men, descendants of that man
who, fresh from the handiwork
of Almighty God, and surround
ed by all the felicity Of Eden.
when tempted by the evil one
fell, and in his fall entaiIed upon
his offspring an ever present will
.Iingness TO transgress the laws of
God. Remember that since the
days of Adam there has been but
one perfect Being that walked
upon this earth, and that was He
who tread the wine press of His
fathers wrath. and upon the
SUBMITS of a Jewish mountain
gave up His life that all the sons
Of men might live.
How can we expect charity
from that great source Of light
and love unless we extend it to
our fellow-man? Then let us
practice this grand Masonic vir-
tue and extend to every human
being that true and faithful feel
Tag which is alike the foundation
of Christian fellowship, and the
principle step in that mystic stair
way or ladder which the founder
of Israel in dreamland saw ex-
tending from the ground on
which he lay TO the very gates
of heaven. Let us have charity
in its broadcast and most magnifi-
cent sense toward all mankind.
These ideas are neither advanc-
ed for the purpose Of advertising
the merits Of Masory. nor Of Of
fering an apology for any Of Its
imperfections in the eyes Of man
kind. We know that many Of
the me. OF the world, both good
and bad, are opposed to the insti-
tuition we maintain. This has
been true in all ages. yet for cen
turtles has this noble order con-
tinued to exist, affording relief
and comfort 10 the widows and
orphans Of departed brethren,
shielding and guarding the Mas
ter Mason's wife and daughter,
even when they don't suspect it,

In speaking of the new building,
L. J. Ollier, vice-president and di-
rector of sales of the Studebaker
Corporation. said: with the govern
ment and it's allies spending vast
sums of money here in the United
States for material of all sorts, look
for a great wave of business pros
perity.
And now that the automobile has
become a virtual necessity to so many
business men and a vital part of
every farmers equipment. this pros
perity will undoubtedly mean a
greatly increased demand for motor
cars all over the country.
1T has always been an underlying
Studebaker policy to keep we'll
abreast of the times in the installa-
ton of the most modern equipment.
THE new buildings being erected
at South Bend are simply a result of
our fixed plan to alwys keep improv-
ing our manufacturing facilities so
that our plants may constantly main
tain the highest possible degree of
manufacturing efficiency"
