st. Johns Day Sermon
Local Masonic Lodges
By Rev McWhOrter

A most interesting sermon was
delivered Sunday morning by Rev.
Andrew T. McWhorter at the Con-
gregational church, upon the occa-
sion of the annual st. Johns Day
observance by the members of Au-
gusta and Bethlehem Lodges, +. g.
A. NJ. of this city.
Rev. McWhorter took as his topic
the last verse of the first chapter of
James, pure religion and undefiled
before God and the Father is this.
To visit the fatherless and widows
in their affection and to keep him.
self unspotted from the world"
He said that beside the funda-
mental heart religion there must al
so be kind Of religion which helps
others as well. That true Christian
ity is doing this, he showed by the
fact that we are teaching and edu-
eating all over the world and by the
fact that we have esta blished char
table institutions for the the relief
of the unfortunate. But we have
gone farther than this, we are try
ing to stop those conditions which
result in need for charitable insti-
tutions. In ancient Greece and
Rome, when these nations were at
Tic Ilel6HI VI tilclT pOWeI, nO SUCH
an institution was known, the weak
and poor were left to make the best
of their condition.
In taking up the second part of
this definition Of religion, the pastor
said that he who has the opportuni-
ty. and the temptation to do wrong
and thinks that he will be free from
the natural consequences of his acts
and still resists his desire, is living
up to this part of the definition.
A large delegation from both
lodges gathered at Masonic Temple
at 10 o'clock Sunday morning and
marched to the church. After the
services the members of the lodges
marched back to the Temple.

ECkERSALL ESCAPED
INJURY ON GRIDlRON
Only Once Was Hyde Park Star
Taken Out of Game.
Played Four Years With University
of Chicago and During That Pc
riod Received Severe Bump
by Curtis of Michigan.

One of the most remarkable in
stances of a great football player be-
ing rarely hurt was that of Walter
Eckersall, foul years a star with Hyde
Park High in Chicago and the same
length of time for the University of
Chicago.
He battled in some of the hardest
games ever put on anywhere, and only
twice was time taken out for him.
Once he was hurt badly enough to be
taken off the field. This was in the
Hyde Park-Brooklyn Poly game of
1902, where the Chicago boys won
with something like 106 to 0. Eckie
broke a collar bone then.
The other time was in that famous
2 to 0 Michigan game against Chicago,
where Tackle Curtis Of the Wolver-
ines, bumped into him just after he
had got away with a punt. Although
badly Jared tp, Walter was able to
continue the game after a brief rest.
