MASONIC LODGES
attend SERVICES
AT ST. MARKS

Masonry was characterized as
1.-THE hand maiden of the church," by
DR.. Stuart B. Purves. d. D., rector OF
St. Marks Episcopal church on
Sunday morning at the special SER
vice, which was held in observance
of st. Johns Sunday by the members
of Bethlehem and Augusta Lodges
of Masons.
He declared that belief in God
is essential to Masonry, and that in
the old lodges Of operative Masons
which were held at the building OF
King Solomon's temple. whether
they were the forerunners or not OF
modern speculative Masonry, this
belief existed. This called fol
bravery he declared, in the times
when. with the exception of the
Jewish people the other nations oil
the world were polytheistic. From
that time to this all Masonic lodges
have required first of all belief IL
supreme diety.
He discussed the brotherhood OF
Masonry, saying that one great fea.
ture in its fraternizing influence
that in a lodge room rank and
wealth mean nothing.
DIR. Purves touched on the gen.
eral characteristics of Masonry and
then told something of the Chart.
able side of the order and of its
work with crippled children. He
predicted that in time all crippled
children would be taken care Of in
the proper hospitals.
A feature of the service was the
anthem Light of Lights by LIE.
Jeune. This anthem was sung by
the boys choir, the two solo parts
being taken by Stanley McCurdy and
George Dearborn in a splendid man
ner.
The members of the two lodges
with the members of the Augusta
Lodge as the guests of Bethlehem
Lodge. gathered at Masonic Temple
before the service and marched to
the church. returning to the Temple
at the conclusion of the service.

wide knowledge of what the public
wants and an earnest desire to sup
ply that want.

cages will be open, affording people
splendid views Of the lions, tigers
bears, monkeys, seals, and the big
