AMBITIONS OF INNOVATIONS


AS we pursue our research in
Masonry, and review Masonry of to-
dav we are constrained to take an
optimistic view Of the Grand old Or
der. Will it remain the Ancient and
Honorable Fraternity Of Free and Ac-
cepted Masons, or, will this great or
SANITATION (the mother of all other
secret societies) be finally swallowed
10 in fraternal Insurance Companies.
or will we 60 further and become
society composed Of Auxiliary organi-
cations whose only foundation is the
MASONIC ORDER. We have the
Blue Lodges, Royal Arch Chapters,
Royal and Secret Masons, Knights
Templar, Shriners and Consistory
Masons. called the HEROINES OF
JERICO, Order Of Eastern Star, Isis,
Sphinks Golden Circle, Lady Shriners
and GUILDS of the Crusaders. The
Heroines Of Jericho and the Order Of
Eastern Star are old and fixed Auxil-
liaries to the Masonic Fraternity; the
others are Of a more recent date. The
Isis possibly derive their name and
legends from the GODDESS of the
EGYPTIANS who was supposed to
represent the MOON, as Crisis rep
resented the SUN, the tracings OF
her history is more than we will at
tempt at this time. The SPHINKS
are symbols of Mysteries, and these
ladies are by name supposed to guard
the Masonic fraternity from intrusion
from the initiates. The GOLDEN
4 CIRCLE no doubt was conceived
from the lecture of the first degree
where the Golden Fleece or Star and
Garter is mentioned The GUILDS
or Ternplar CRUSADERS get their
name from the Legends Of the Cru
saders, and claim especial favors from
Knights Templars and Templarism
Some think the ROYAL and Sc
LECT MASTERS have transferred
some degrees from the Scottish Rite
and formed another Branch Of Mason
ry; the same thing is charged to the
ROYAL ARCH Chapters, as from
the Blue Lodge. They have trans,
ferred some degrees from the Blue

School and it is with pride that we

Harrison Terrell
One Of the subjects in question
brings to the mind and memory the
story ofthe life Of Harrison Terrell
in the Englewood High School and
the interest since he has left the
Englewood High School maintained
by Mr.. Armstrong and faculty.
His musical ability through a STRAIT
egic effort Of Mr.. Armstrong went far
to establishing the Negro character
in the musical world of today. 1t was
from an opportunity given on night
when they were celebrating George
Washington's birthday with the Audi
forum packed with the parents,
teachers and friends who came to
join the young Americans in paying
a tribute of reverential respect to so
great man as George Washington.
When the hearers had drank in what
they believed the principal portion Of
the program, there was announced a
number not appearing on the program
the audience sat with abated breath
when the announcement was made
that Harrison Terrell would play a
violin solo accompanied by his faith
full sister. When her fingers touched
the keys and his bow was drawn
across the strings the hushed ones
who had sat in the chamber Of night
waiting to criticize this unknown sub
jet who was following in the foot
steps Of Clarence c. White.
Silence prevailed through the cham
Der every one awaited the next sound
and when he had concluded this CLASH
cal number the multitude broke forth
in a spontaneous burst Of applause,
they demanded an encore, the music
had sunk deep into the immerus re-
secus of their soul, they forgot the
question Of his color and when the
last sound Of the string had been
finished it appeared like a new wal1en-
ing and he was again encored until
he had to return for the third time.
This established his opportunity and
firmly made clear his reliability be-
cause Of his high success made in
this his first appearance before a
school and community audience.
Without regard for the thought Of
color the boys and girls gathered and
resolved among themselves to request
Mr. Armstrong that Mr.. Terrell Be
made member Of the orchestra. He
