Anniversary Celebrated.
Masons throughout the United States
Joined last night in commemorating
Mason in Fredericksburg (Va.) Lodge.
No. 4, 169 years ago. The Washing
ton assemblage, however, was more
fortunate than the other gatherings.
in that it was shown the Bible upon
which Washington took his Masonic
obligations and also the minutes OF
the occasion as recorded by Alexander
Woodrow. secretary of the lodge. The
Bible, still in the possession of the
Fredericksburg lodge. was brought to
Washington by a committee from the
lodge. composed of Past Masters Will
liam H. Rice, Edgar NJ. Young. Gran
vile r. Smith and w. S. Hit, and
Rev. H. L. Hout. Mr.. Hout was
spokesman for the committee. He
siad 1t probably would be the last
time the Bible would be taken away
from the lodgerooms for inspection
by the public.
Past Grand Master Presidea.
The exercises were held under the
auspices of the advisory board OF Ma
sonic Clubs of the District and were
presided over by Past Grand Master
James w. Witten. In addition to the
addresses delivered by Rev. MIR. Hout
L. Burroughs of New Hampshire eulo-
glzed Washington and his s;eadfast
loyalty to the obligations of Masonry
Toward the nation his life was one Of
service. and selfishness had no part in
it. he declared. That Washington knew
how to select good men to fight the
battles Of the young republic was
proved. Mr.. Clay said, by the fact that
twenty out of twenty mine of his major
generals and f1fty-nine out OF sixty of
his brigadier generals were Masons. The
speaker also called attention to the
fact that f1fty-two of the fifty-six sign
ers of the Declaration Of independence
were MasonS.
Program of Music.
Musical selections were rendered
throughout the program. the Washington
Quartet, composed of Mrs. Mary Sherier
Bowie, Miss Richie Mclean, ]. f. NJ.
Bowie and Fred East, contributing sew
eral numbers which caused the large
audience to insist upon encores. George
II. Wilson was the accompanist. Others
who contributed to the musical pro-
gram were Master Onward Bowersox,
prominent young Washington violinist,
who was accompanied by Miss Marie
Belt. The Lambskin Orchestra gave
several selections, and at the conclu-
sion of the meeting played 1.-The Star
Spangled Banner" which the audience
sang.
The meeting opened with an invoca-
ton by the Rev. James Shera Montgom-
cry. chaplain Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives, and closed with a benedic-
ton by Rev. ]. J. Muir, chaplain Of the
Senate.

to mention but these had been at
war between 1858 and 1916. for sixty
one years. out of 1877. All the others
it's own interest lived different lives
which had given birth to conflicting
interests. Immediate conflicts re-
duced to figures in economic and
financial problems. where one could
not have more unless the other had
less Other conflicts. less immediate,
but far deeper in public morals. where
the diversity Of traditions had given
birth to widely divergent conceptions
and to irreconcilable contradictions of
feeling and of thought. 1t was the

not all speak the same language. NJ.
Clemenceau and those who helped
him direct the negotiations for France

View Of Clemenceau.
He characterized it in these words,
which l reproduce:
The state of mind Of our allies
is not necessarily the same as our
own and when We are not in
agreement with them. 1t is unjust
to blame those who do not succeed
in convincing them or to blame
them for evil intentions which are
not in their hearts.
What are you going to do about
it? Each of US lives encased in his
own past. Auguste Comte said
that we live dead mems lives. and
it is true.
We are encased by the past,
which holds US In its grip. and
spurs US forward to new efforts.

just mentioned.
