Rabbi summons the Jews of the city

the synagogue. He decides to destroy
the Golem, now that it's work is done,
lest it become a source of harm. He
removes the star on the Golem's
breast, in which is contained the scroll
with the potent name, and the Golem
falls lifeless. But before the Rabbi
can smash the clay figure he is called
away. Meanwhile Chic, Miriam's
lover, discovers that she is closeted
with the kings herald, Christian.
He replaces the star upon the Golem's
breast, thus restoring life, and bids
him destroy the herald, his rival. This

Grand Master T. H. Samuels and
Sister Mary E. Davenport, Past
Grand Matron of the o. E. s. made
an official visit and inspection of the
Prince Hall Masonic and o. E. s.
Home at Rock Island, Ill, Tuesday.
They found things in a most won
derful condition. 1t is not possible
to describe the grandeur and beauty
of the place. 1t is a veritable resort
with the beautiful landscape, cooling
streams, roadways, etc. The interior
of the home has been newly decor
ated and linoleum laid in the dining
room and kitchen. New rugs have
also been purchased by the Ladies
Home Board Auxiliary for the parlor.
Chickens fowl, vegetable and truck
garden stuff await to please the ap-
petite of the inmates and visitors.
If the old and in6rm brethren and
sisters of the fraternity could get one
glimpse Of the surroundings and con-
ditions of the Home they would not
foolishly hesitate to enter into their
own home which they have helped
establish.
The Grand Master hopes that each
lodge in the jurisdiction will send
delegation to visit the Home. 1t
will serve as an impetus to the vari-
Gus members who should be there
to take advantage of its comforts
And then, too, the lodge would have

take merely for granted what is told

Reports from all sections of this and
other jurisdictions ten of the unpreee-
dented growth Of the Masonic order.
Never before in history have so many
men sought to connect themselves with
this glorious institution. Lodges have
worked day and night to take care Of
the numerous applications. The most
natural thought that presents itself is
whyi Why do they comet Is there a
special reasoni What do they hope to
gaini You will meet more men wear
ing the Masonic emblem than any 9TH
er, and can see more of them in q
days journey than you formerly could
in the course Of a month. Some are
shaking their heads and deerying the
decline of Free Masonry, arguing that
the great increase is bringing into the
order a host of undesirables, and that
steps should be taken TO bar the doors.
Let us reason a while. The host that
is applying to the lodges Of the North
ern jurisdictions are in the main those
who are bulldozed and brow-beaten in
the South by the Ku Klux and adverse
state laws to keep them from joining
any society and having left there and
found that nothing hindered here they
gladly seized the opportunity. The last
people on earth who should seek to
deny them this boon, are we who have
so lately escaped the terrors from which
they fed. If the principles and pre-
cepts Of Masonry are an incentive for
good and right living, instead Of re-
stneting the number, we should well
come most heartily. &"
Some bad material may slip in, but it
happens in all things, and it is not
at all certain that the records win show
that our past is clear of such. Rotten
material was taken in in the past and
win be in the future, but it should be
thrown out as soon as detected It
would be awful to contemplate the re-
suits if there was g general house clean
ing.
Give a pause to the talk about the
large increase Of membership weaken
ing the order. The ravages Of time,
the devastation Of wars and the ruth
less hand Of ignorance have destroyed
many noble structures, but Freema-
sonry survives and win survive. We
are taught that Masonry is progressive,
but closing the doors and making pro-
hibitive fees are retrogressive. High
fees do not keep out the bad man We
admit il keeps out the Indifferent fell

WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENT.

The establishment of the Liberty
Life Insurance Co. is an outstanding
work in that it shows what can be
accomplished by industry, energy and
intelligence. Beginning with these
three qualities as his capital, Frank
L Gillespie set out to organize and
establish a corporation to engage in
the life insurance business. Today he
sees his efforts crowned with sue
cess. The child of his brain has
grown to mans estate as the Liberty
Life Insurance Co., with a paid up
capital stock of 100000. A COM
mendable feature is that this 100000
is secured by first mortgages on
property owned by Negroes.
A wonderful corporation financed,
controlled and owned by the colored
race. All honor to Frank l. Giles
pie, the man of the day.
