Rev. Bascom Anthony
Preaches on Masonry.
Seldom, If ever, has there been t
larger or more representative con'
gregatlon In Amerlcus ‘than that
which gathered at the Methodist
Church on Sunday night to hear Rev.
Bascom Anthony's address to the
Masonic fraternity.
It was a notable occasion In the
fact that the sermon was one of the
most eloquent und effectively appro
priate that has ever been delivered to
a public gathering of Masons In this
section of the State.
The pastor, thoroughly appreciative
of the true teachings of Masonry, of
the lessons that It seeks to inculcate,
and the r.dsslcn It has In Its relations
to the lives of Its followers, did not
hesitate to express his approval of
the beautiful ritual of the order, of
the pur|)Ose It has in Its secret work,
and of the benefits that accrue to its
members from its teachings, while
atsametlmecarefully pointing out that
In no sense docs Masonry pose as a
religion or seek to In anyway sup
plant the Church. To the contrary
It distinctly disavows any such Inten
tion. and acts instead as the hand
maiden of religion, serving to fur
ther Impress upon Its devotees the
truths of morality, of brotherly love,
of consecration to humanity, of de
pendence upon an Infinite power, of
the inability of man to rise from a
condition of degredation without the
uplifting assistance of God, and of
the final resurrection.

Sunday was St. John's day. Mr.
Anthony made a brief allusion to the
fact that all Masonic lodges are erect
ed to God and dedicated to St. John,
In Europe to the Saints John, In this
country to St. John the Evangelist
doubtless because of bis dwelling on
love and his teaching by symbolism.
Masonry, he pointed out. teaches by
symbolism. It Is not a religion,
makes no professions as such, but Is
an ethical code, n moral philosophy,
minute and far reaching In Its ap
plication to life. This moral philos
ophy, he continued, rests on the only
basis morals can rest on, - the two
great fundamental facts, the exis
tence of God and the Immortality of
the soul. Through these It appeals
to man. No Infidel can accordingly
unite with a Masonic lodge. Its sym
bolism Is a beautiful expression of
Its belief in these two basic princi
ples of religion, and through It Mas
onry obtains a grip ui>on the con
sciences of men. i
Masonry, Mr. Anthony emphasized,
requires a man to be a man In order
to become associated with It. To
unite with a lodge the applicant
must come under the tongue of good
report among men, he must have
character. Masonry acknowledges
that It stands helpless In the pres
ence of acknowledged moral deprav
ity. In Its ritual U in effect declares
that among all Us grips there is no
grip by which It can raise a man from
the dead level of sin to the living
perpendicular of righteousness. In
such an emergency It Is necessary to
resort to prayer and to call upon the
uplifting Hand from above. The en
tire symbolism of the order points
to this higher power, to man's utter
dependence uiion U, and to the evil
that ensues from his failure or refusal
to keep In touch with it.
Masonry, said Mr. Anthony In
closing his Impressive address,
teaches Us members the utter hope
lessness of relying upon any human
agency for the resurrection of moral
ly depraved nature. God alone, Us
rites show, is equal to such a task,
to Him man must turn, and by the
inculcation of such lessons Masonry
becomes the hand maiden of religion.

turned attention to the moth^r-lu-

New York, Dec. 28.—Very dan
greens, in shades of laurel and myr
tle, and in charmeuse as glossy and
bright-surfaced as the former, are
likewise more than popular, and with
these a bunch of creamy camelliae
Just flushed with pink Is a very
favorite of accompaniment, the tunic
of falling straight all round,
being caught Into a bunch somewhere
near the left knee with a knot of the
blossoms..
The latest and most plquante idea
is, however, to dispense with trim
mings and decorations altogether, and
mass the elaboration of the gown
into the huge almsbag pocket which
is slung from the waist by rlbbonB
on the rght sde.
