JUNE HAS MANY
 MASONIC, EVENTS
Masonry Preeminent In Historic
 Anniversaries Of Centuries

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The month of June holds many anniversaries of peculiar significance. Masons have had a conspicuous part in world events for over two centuries and it is the custom of Masonic lodges and organ nations to memorabilia the men who have been leaders in the struggle for liberty and progress. Masonry is pre- eminently patroitic fraternity and takes advantage of historic anniver- saries to inculcate American princi. ples.
 Linking modern times with the reyo- lutionary days, June z, 1755, has a deep Masonic interest in that on this day Braddock set out for Fort Du- quesne. On his staff was a young officer, then in his teens, who was de- stined to write his name among the greatest, George Washington.
 Twenty-one years later, June ', 1776, Richard Henry Lee, a Mason, offered in the American Congress a resolu- tion declaring that the colonies should be free and independent.
 On June 15, 1776, Washington ac. cepted command of the American army and began that series of military cam. paigns that Frederick the Great de- clared demonstrated that Washington was strategist of the first rank. The Battle of Bunker Hill was fought on June IT, 1775. Although this battle was a defeat for the Amer. ican forces it served to arouse the colonies and therefore cost the British dearly.
 Generad Joseph Warren who lost his life in this skirmish was formerly Grand Master of Masons of Massach setts. Fifty years later Marquis de La- Fayette, another famous Mason, laid the cornerstone of the Banker Hill monument.
 The battle of Waterloo occurred on June Is, 1915, on which occasion the allied armies under the generalship of the Duke of Wellington smashed the armies of Napoleon and brought the dreams of the Emperor to disastrous end. The Duke of Wellington was a leader in English Masonry and was member of lodge No. 494 on the Irish roll, held at Trim, in the county of Meath.
 Pioneer days will be remembered on ouAC N1 ucCduSe OH CnaC date ln the year 1907. the Holy Sacrament was first administered at Jamestown. Among the Englishmen who laid the foundation of that early commonwealth were many Masons.
 Masonry's consistent battle for the rights of the people will be empha. sized on June 9. Giuseppe Mazzini. the great Italian liberator, was born on June p, 1905. Mazzini was Grand Master of Masons of Italy.
 Another Italian patriot whose name is closely linked with the fraternity is Giuseppe Garibaldi, who, with Mazzini, shares the honors of obtain. ing liberty for Italy. Garibaldi's death occurred June ?, 1882. He was made a Mason when a young man and was made Grand Commander of the Su. preme council, B degree, of Italy in 1883. While in the United States in his early manhood he is said to have affiliated with .Tompkins lodge No All, Stapleton, N. Y.

Home Again. Ezra 8.R.f3: 6:14.15,


 8. Now is the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, be- gan Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brethren, the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem, and appointed the Le- vites. from twenty years old and up- ward, to have the oversight of the work of the house of Jehovah.
 9. Then stood Joshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to have the oversight of the work men in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites.
 10. And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of Je- hovah, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Le- vites the sons of Asaph with cym- bals, to praise Jehovah, after the order of David, king of Israel.
 II. And they sang one to another in praising and giving thanks unto Jehovah, saying, For he is good, for his loving kindness endureth forever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised Jehovah, because the foundation of the house of Jehovah was laid.
 12. But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers houses, the old men that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:
 13. So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people for the people shouted with loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.
 6:14 And the elders of the Jews builded and prospered, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zachariah the son of Iddo. And they builded and finished 1t, accord ing to the commandments of the God of Israel, and according to the de- cree of Cyrus and Darious and Ar taxerxes, king of Persia.
 15. And the house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
