We sent our troops across the water

holding conferences for the purpose
of reducing the armaments of the
world, that wars may cease and the
great military burden which has
weighed down the taxpayers of the
world shall be lifted from their
shoulders. We are doing all this

CONGRATULATIONS FOR HARRIS

GENERALIZATION FOR HARRIS
Government officials who have the
good faith of this our country at
heart are offering both fluctuations
and congratulations to Adjutant
General Peter C. Harris, custodian
OF the draft records of the selective
service. General Harris was SEN
fenced to ten days in Jail for con-
tempt of court by Justice Frederick
L. Siddons of the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia for his fiat
refusal to divulge certain informa-
tlon in the records which was de-
sired in divorce suit General Har-
ris appealed the case, and the an
peIIate court decided that Justice
S1ddons erred and that General Har.

His children. We must never think
ourselves too Insignificant for Him
not to care for US. He is always
mindful of us for God will supply
all your needs according to the
riches of grace in Christ Jesus
Second, Because it is natural for
one to be interested in his greatest
handiwork. Morse was interested
most in the telegraph; Wright, in the
air planes; and God is most inter-
ested in us, His greatest handiwork.
When he would make man He look
ed about for an image and took His
own image and stamped it on the
face of man. Plato thanked the
gods that he was not a Greek. How
much more should we thank God
that He made us in His image, cap
able Of being resuscitated, redeemed
and saved.
Third. Ever mindful of us because
He sees in us some of those attri-
butes that adhere in Him4elf. Hat
red of wrong and of injustice to.
wards others, for instance. We
know that we are selfish, but we also
know that we are unselfish an dthat
our hearts do, go out to those who
are deey, and unsaved. Huxley
spoke an untruth when he said God
is far away, and unconcerned about
US. When God would illustrate His
love for us he takes an example of
human love, "Can a mother forget
her child" A child may forget, but
mothers heart will follow. Her
soul will day and night plead for
him. Stronger than all human love
i sthe love 70 God. Charlie Ross
who was stolen from the bosom of
his father, was long searched for.
His father said, s'I'u go up and
down this country and look in the
face of every boy So long as time
shall last until find my lost boy"
So Jesus is going up and down this
sin cursed world and looking for
lost children, leading them from
sin to a trust in Him.
Then this teaches us also that
we should go up and down the
streets of our city looking into the
face of this one and that, pleading
with them. and trying to lead them
to Him, who is mindful of them. |
Fhe preacher said he didn't know |
much about this community But (
feared that the people here are al
most cursed by their prosperity and !,
pleasure, SO wrapped up in these
hings that they have forgotten to
self to Him. He is call

,a1ley of iniquity and sin to the glo-
ious heights of the, happiness and
,eace of closer walk with Him.

INTEREST GROWING IN
SERIES OF MEETINGS

Last night DR.. Thacker gave this
as what he believed to be the best
definition of success: Success is that
good purpose which is conducted ON
right principles to prosperous and
enduring conclusion
The text for the subject was: eHe
saved others; Himself He cannot
save" from which DR.. Thacker rea-
soned that real success is exempli-
fed in the life of Jesus Christ. He
asked each one what was the pur-
poses of his life and il that same
purpose would hold good after the
passing of the years. MANS chief
end," he said, ''is to glorify God and
to enjoy Him forever
The large auditorium at the First
Baptist church is practically filled
by audiences that are thrilled with
the singing and preaching. There is
growing sentiment among those
who are hearing these messages of
DR.. Thacker that they are among the
greatest series of sermons ever de.
l1vered in Wilson. Those who are
not hearing him are surely missing
great intellectual and spiritual
treat. He exhausts his subject but
never his audience.
This morning DIR. ]. E. Thacker
took as his subject God Mindful of
US, his text being Psalm 6 "A, "What
is man that thou art mindful of
him?"
Christians many times wonder if
COD is concerned about them, their
daily experience, their trials. and
temptations. Webster was kept out
OF the church a long time because
he thought God too much taken up
with the big things of His world to
notice poor individual like him
self. But here the Psalmist< asserts
that God is mindful of us. He brings
II to US in the form of a question.
Dut not a question of doubt. it is

the Father would care for His own.
Man must care for his cattle, must |

cape criticism. There was a time
when women had no rights, but that
time passed away with the passing
of the barroom. Kings thought
their subjects had no rights, but
that passed with the French revoTu-

SPEECHES
AT MASONIC BANQUET.

Tt Mt. lebanon Lodge, No. III, of
the Masonic fraternity was given a
delightful oyster banquet last even
ing by Messrs F. N Bridgers and
Elmer Oettinger in the Masonic hall
in this city.
There was a feast of reason and
flow of soul with Mr.. w. A. Lucas
as toastmaster and a number of
prominent speakers of the city on
1.-THE program. These included Rev. J.
H. Miller, and Messrs. o. P. Dick
inson, Calvin Woodard, and Dr. J. ".
Turner.
Mr.. 0. P. Dickinson, who was the
first speaker, had as his subject "The
Antiquity of Masonry" He stated
that the Masonic fraternity was
perhaps the Oldest fraternal- organ
ization in existence This should be
some evidence that the principles OK.
the order are worthy of being per-
petuated.
The order has witnessed the rise.
growth and downfall of kingdoms,
principalities and powers. 1t has
withstood the storms, of the ages,
Kings, princes, presidents and po-
tentates have considered it a great
honor to be initiated into it's mys-
teries.
So far as recorded history is con-
cerned the origin of Masonry is lost
In the early mists of time. However,
recorded history furnishes abund-
ant evidence that Masonry existed
seven or eight centuries ago and Ma
sonic tradition informs us that it's
beginning was at the building of the
temple of King Solomon a thousand
years before the coming of Christ.
Mr.. Dickinson argued that the
hand of the Supreme Architect of
the Universe must have wrought in
the establishment of this order for
the carrying out of one of his pur-
poses, as the operative Masons of
the past who travelled over the then
known world and established lodges
where they worked, taught immortal
1ty of the soul, the fatherhood of
God and the brotherhood of man and
Kept alive these eternal truths dur
ing the dark ages of the world when
1t seemed civilization itself would
be blotted out.
Mr. Calvin Woodard as usual de-
hvered very ornate and pleasing
address. Into the beautiful thought
OF the fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man he weaved the
principles of Masonry, and said
that these were fundamentals upon
which are builded service, love and
cooperation which bound them in
the unity of soul and spirit enabling
them to be of service to the individ-
ual members of the order and this
service radiating into the commun-
lty and the State
Rev. j. Herbert Miller's subject |
was the relation of Masonry to |
Religion. Masonry and religion are
very closely related, said the speaker.
In many particulars they are SO near
y alike that it is hard to distinguish
,he one from the other, but in many
the differences are very
striking and pronounced Insofar as
heir principle and practice are con-
they are very much alike, but
n their ends, ideals and purpose
hey are very different.
Masonry is not religion, said Mr.. n
The daily times., 1922-01-11

Miller. 1t. does not presume to be
religion. In order to make this
clear it would be necessary to de-
finitions for religion, first, belief in
, a God, who has power over our des-
tiny and to whom obedience, service
and honor are due; second, con-
formity to the teachings of the Bible:
third, conformity to any practice as
if it were an enjoined rule of con-
duct; fourth, a system of faith and
worship. To the first three defini-
tions Masonry can meet the require
ments of religion, but in the fourth
it cannot. The speaker went on the
show that Masonry does not set
itself over against the other religions
of the world as a sectarian religion.
Mr.. Miller said we do not refer to
ut as religion in the sense that one
does not say that he is a Methodist.
Baptist or Presbyterian but that he
is Mason. Striking differences be-
tween Masonry and religion were
mentioned, among them being that
religion centers in a person while
Masonry centers in the code of NOR
ais. Religion has to do with life.
while Masonry has to do with form
and ceremonies. Religion has to with
the internal while Masonry has to
do with the external. RELIGION has
to do with attitudes, motives and
relations while Masonry has to do
with rules and regulations. Mr..
Miller said if this be true Masonry
can not be a substitute for religion
because Masonry offers a practice of
virtue, but religion offers a scheme
of redemption. Masonry points its
disciples to the path of righteous
ness, but religion says ''I am the !
way, the truth and the life.'j
Mr.. Miller concluded by saying !
that while Masonry is not reli-
g1on from the beginning to the end,
it has the religious foundation. It's
teachings are religious. It's cere-l
monies are religious. It holds be-
fore its members high standard of
ideals and morals, and no one
can live up to the spirit and teach
lngs of Masonry without being a
better citizen, better neighbor and
without having a greater reverence
Ind devotion for God.
DR.. j. v. Turner gave a most in !,
eresting history of the Blue Lodge. II
The Blue Lodge, stated Dr. Turner, H
iates back only 2O5 years. The
irst lodge in North Carolina was Il
chartered at Wilmington in 1897. |!
Today there are nearly three million i
Master Masons in the world. Two Il
birds of this number is in the Uni
ed States. There are no Masonic
odges in Russia. DR.. Turner made
he striking comparison between the
wo nations, progressive America and
chaotic Russia.
