stitutions which have outlived their
usefulness
We do and may we'll rejoice in the
long and honorable history of our
lodge and we may feel assured that
the fact that we are able to celebrate
its centennial proves it's usefulness in
the world but while we thus rejoice
we must not forget the future, the
past is secure. 1t would be of small
importance that we celebrate CEN
tennial if twenty five years hence,
our lodge should cease to exist. and
we must remember that the same law
which has decreed its continued eX-
istence TO the present hour may in
the future decree its extinction.
The times are uncertain; the tre-
mendous tidal wave of war which for
more than four years swept over the
world has ebbed away leaving in its
wake not only misery and poverty
the like never seen before. but also q
brood of Shiny monsters of the deep,
strange notions and theories of gov
eminent and deep dissatisfaction and
unrest Anarchy and bolshevism
grow and abound and their fruits are
class hatred, and the destruction OF
all that makes life worth the living.
The organization of society. law and
government are being weighed in
the balances. If humanity is not to
retrograde into anarchy and barbar-
ism, every force making for good,
every agency for enkindling right
ideals must be active, awake. The
forces which make for destruction are
not idle, evil is never inactive.
Such times challenge us as Masons,
we are called upon to justify our ex-
istence as such, can We, will we do
it? Without fear of contradiction
say that we can. Masonry seeks TO
arouse and strengthen in the in
dividual the sense Of his responsible J.
ity to rs God, his neighbor and
himself Masonry demands of its
membership the support of consti-
tuted authority, it forbids the fomcnt-
a peaceful. well ordered life of labor
service and rest. It's tenets thus con-
stituto a pillar of strength to society
Anarchy and bolsheviSm, commun-
ism, sovietism and other nOXious
weeds of the hour find scant soil for
development in lives ordered by tho
principles of Masonry, class hatred
and fratricidal strife do not flourish
there. If society as presently con-
stituted is worth saving at all if our

by King Solomon, 1920 years before
| the coming of Christ. He did much
TO correlate and perpetuate the order,
tut it had its real beginnings in the
+ tune when primitive man first built
/ himself Il home.
1T was the opening of a great
epoch when prehistoric man founded
home. AS time has passed, man
las passed up the winding path of
home building until today when we
have the modern home, which we
! consider the last word in modern
architecture. When man first built
home perpendicularly and on the
| level, with the plumb square and
level, it marked his understanding
of natural laws by building accord
ing to certain rules. 1t is because
men have learned these natural laws
that we have the wonders of modern
day science.
From operative masonry to specu-
Iative masonry was a natural tran
sition. Men must build character
and establish human relations. So
it is that speculative masonry was
mould human relationships in ac-
cordance with the laws of Cod
which are the natural laws. 4 strong
| character is not builded alone on
wisdom and other virtues, but with
! the plumb, the level, and square.
. The reason that freemasonry has eX-
listed for these many centuries is be-
i cause it is soundly built in accord
ance with natural laws.
"Freemasonry, having such an
early history has come to us with the
| forms and ceremonies which we now
| enjoy. Like the strength of q build
| ing. it's strength depends upon it's
| whole structure, upon it's members
| and the use its members make of the
! working rules of their profession.
| Masonry must level men up, with its
| right angle square it must teach the
| greater lesson of love, for by it mems
! lives are tested as true. Meet on the
! level. act on the square, and you will
make the world better. The strength
| of masonry is not in the interest we
! feel. in the enjoyment we derive, and
! the social advantages we get, but
rather in the influence it exerts on
the community.
"A great minister once said that
every man should at some time in his
| life open wide the four windows of
his character for the benefit of other
men This applies to we who are
| masons The north window is the
| window of reason, we should learn to
! take out from life only as much as
we put in: the east window is the
| window of optimism, giving us the
I,strength to face each day with a
feeling that all is right; the south
window is the window of charity,
emanating warm. cordial sympathy
| that brings us at all times in closer
| fellowship with God: the west wfn-
dow is the window of sacrifice, for
