CORNER
STONE LAID
Ancient Rites Performed by
Masons at New Metho-
dist Building

Scenes which delve far back into
the historic past were re-enacted in
Kennewick Easter afternoon when
the cornerstone of the new Methodist
Episcopal church was laid by John
Clifford, Grand Master of the Masonic
Lodge of Washington, assisted by
members of the local lodge acting as
grand lodge officers.
An audience Of three hundred stood
or found seats atop the piles of build
ing materials and gave reverent at
tention while the ancient and impress
sive rites which had their beginning
with the building of King Solomon's
temple were performed.
The Masons assembled at their hall
and were led in parade up Second
street to the new building by the Ken
newick band. Those taking part in
the ceremony wore the beautiful re-
gala of the order and all were
adorned with the Masonic aprons.
The program was opened by few
Introductory remarks by j. w. Vickers
Worshipful Master Of the Kennewick
lodge, who introduced Grand Master
Clifford. The Invocation was deliver
ed by Rev. J.. c. Strevey, pastor of
the local church and Grand Chaplain
for the occasion. A brief history
of the local M. E. church was read by
w. T. Tracy, chairman of the finance
committee. A metal box containing
documentary evidences Of the COM
munity's present history were depos-
tied within the corner. After the
stone was officially tested and pro-
nounced square, level, true and plumb
it was annointed with corn, symbolic
of plenty, wine, symbolic of happiness
and oil, symbolic of peace and har-
mony.
The address of the day was deliv-
cred by Bishop Shepard of Portland.
The keynote of the bishops address
was that church, no matter of what
denomination, is community insti-
tuition; that church building dedicat-
ed to God and His works is, when
measured in terms of christian CIV
ilization, dedicated to the work of the
community in which it is erected.
The work Of the church, he said, is
to build christian character and to
prepare the people for christian cit
izenship without which any commun-
ity must fail. The speaker presented
an impressive picture of the scenes
to be enacted in the new church in the
years that are to come-of the child
rem who will troop up the steps to be
taught the ways to sterling manhood
and virtuous womanhood; of the men
and women upon whom rests the re-
sponsibilities of the day who will
gather there to gain new strength
and inspiration to meet their daily
tasks; Of the respondent and the dis
consolate to which life has become a
burden who will find new hope; Of
the aged to whom will come comfort
| and contentment.
The musical part of the program
included hymns sung by the audience
and several selections by the Kenne-
| wick Concert orchestra.
