SPIRIT OF FREEMASONR Y
IS TYPIFIED IN ADDRESS
OF WILLIAM H. NORRIS
Great Iowa Templar
Orator of the

SPEAKS AT LAYING
OF CORNERSTONE
Pays Eloquent Tribute to
Masonry and Georgia
Masons.
The address ot the day was delivered
by William H. Norris, vory eminent
grand standard bearer of Knights Tem
plate, of Manchester, Iowa. Mr. Nor
ris' address was one ot tho most beau
tiful and Impressive ever delivered be
fore the Masonry of Georgia. Its com
plete text Is given.
Most Worshipful Grand Master,
Brethren and Friends: Tho origin of
the beautiful ceremony of consecra
tion witnessed herd today, like the ori
gin of Freemasonry! Is so blended
With story and legend that It la dlffl-
eult to speak ot tha antiquity of the
case with exact historical accuracy.
Long before the days of epeculattvc
Freemasonry the working tool! of the
operative craftsmen were applied to the
principal foundation atones of a build
ing to tost their fitness for the Intend
ed use. After the change from opera
tive associations to ■ Speculative fra
ternities the ancient custom as a dedi
catory ceremonial has been generally
continued wherever tho Institution of
freemasonry has found favor through
out the civilized world. The frequent
occurrence of theae cercmonlhl occa-
ftons conducted at tho Instance of an
Intelligent people Is. In my opinion, a
splendid tribute to the confidence and
erteem In which the Institution ot Free.
""»onry is held In the eetlmatlon of tho
people. The simple tenets of our faith,
involving the duty we owe to family,
■ne commonwealth and our God, are
‘aeh as to Inspire at least respect In
we minds even of those who are not In
•ccard with our profession*. Well may
novitiate Inquire concerning the
jnjdwlylng principle of this ualveraal
Motherhood. Well may he marvel at
ne bond which unites tho membership
into luc h a guild or society, and ear-
m »y hs seek for the philosophy
responsible for the ethical Influence of
Us votaries.

is moat gratifying to know that without
lowering the high standard set for admis

more than doubled ln the last decade bo

Georgia’s High Standing.
Those who are gathered here today will
surely agree with mo in snrlng thnt no
state In the Union has set a higher standard
of citizenship than that maintained by
this grand old empire state of the South
land. To tell the story of this common
wealth would be to recouut the achieve
ments of her chivalrous and God-fearing
people. Well may they be proud of their
ancestral heritage and jealously should they
guard that which to them Is of right-
prized mors highly than allvsr or gold—
for they nre the descendants of tho sturdy,
liberty-loving Pathfinders who blazed tho
trail which civilization followed lu tho
settlement of this part of the new world.
Gentle and courteous by heritage they look
upon modern plutocracy as something nm
canny and unclean. Uelng to tho rnaqor
born they recognize no aristocracy except

devotees of our world encircling con-

our system of human philosophy may be
exemplified in a manner befitting the Im
portance of the work. Nearly a half cen
tury ago tho members of the craft re
siding In this place were gathered near by
engaged In the same solemn ceremony of
consecration witnessed here today. While
the men directly Interested In the work
at hand at that time wore few in num
ber as compared with tho peaceful, liberty-
loving army which la met here today, and.
while the structure Intended to bo reared
at that time was extremely modest and In
complete, when compared with the magnifi
cent and beautiful temple about to be
pieced upon the present foundation, yet
DEAN OF TEXTILE EDITORS
TO HEAD A TLANTA PAPER
agree with me In the atatement that
the underlying principle of the order Is
a belief in an all-wise God. Those who
believe In a Supreme Being, a divine
ruler over tho destinies of heaven and
earth, are eligible to membership In this
great brotherhood, Irrevocably pledged
to the support of humanity ln the
ceaseless struggle for the betterment
of mankind, and this la true whether
such master mind be the guiding provl-
dence of Christian. Mohammedan or
Jew. This fact being fundamentally
true. It )s not strange that Masonry,
because of the purity of Ita Intentions
and the universality of Its alms, should
ploy an Important part In conserving
and perpetuating that which la most
beautiful ln the present civil and social
order of things; ahould be recognised
as a potent factor In creating a better
snea of equity, equality and unity
among them: should claim the right to
assist In ameliorating the conditions
of those who are bowed down with
burdens that seem greater than they
can **ar^ t# R|thar Than secret.
While Freemasonry ts a system of
human philosophy somewhat veiled In
allegory and generally Illustrated by
symbolism. It Is not, strictly speaking,
a secret society for the very good rea
son that ita purposes and Its constitu
tions are and have been open and pub
lished to the world. The order may be
said to be private rather than secret.
The votaries of the Institution claim
the right to choose their work ng as
sociates In the great
forts that are being put forth. This
work Is perfected In the open and only
soeelal modes of recognition necessary
toprotect the Institution against Impo-
sit Ion nre nt nil hidden or secret.
Freemasonry Is os comprehensive In
Its alms and purposes as «•># “n ver-
sality of Its Held of labor. Its min
istrations are not confined to Its mem
bership. but are Intended to Include
mankind wheresoever dispersed
throughout the world. Its mission is
peace, mercy, tolerance, liberty, frater
nity, equality, law. Ita wide field of
labor Is Intended to cover all of the
mutual duties and obligations of man
to man, and wlills ministering to the
Individual It Is the purpose of the In
stitution that Its votaries shall not be
unmindful, but, on ths contrary, deep
ly and reverently conscious of the om
nipotence of tho greet I Am. A firm
belief In the fatherhood of God Is the
chief corner-stone upon which this
brotherhood of mankind Is bullded.
Though Freemasonry presents a most
beautiful code of morality, the institu
tion Is In no sense put forward aa a
substitute for the church, and its
teachings are not under any circum
stances Intended aa a aubatltute for re.
Ilglon. While these facts are unalter
ably true, Masonry la ever engaged In
Its humanising efforts, not In a mere
spirit of ethical abstraction, but In a
practical, evangelical manner, for the
betterment of mankind.
History of Georgia Masonry.

sidered the “dean” of American textile
editors, has, within the past month,
been Induced by ths new owners of
"Cotton” to sever his associations at
Boston and to take the managing edi
torship of “Cotton” In Atlanta. Mr.
KIttredge will remove to Atlanta with
his family In May. and will continue
thereafter to make this city his home.
The owners of "Cotton” are fortunate
In securing such an eminent and well-
known textile authority as Mr. Ktt-
tredge to undertake the editorial man
agement of their paper. As Mr. KIt
tredge Is personally acquainted with
hundreds of Amerluan mill owners,
there are probably very few well In
formed men In the textile Held today
who are unfamiliar with hie name and
writings.
In following a natural bent of mind,
he took up the economic and practical
literature of textile manufacturing a
few years prior to 1890, and has de
voted his time and thoughts to It ever
since—an editor of textile publications
and contributor to magazines and tech,
nlcal Journals.
He organized the American textile
exhibits at the World's Columbian Ex
position held at Chicago, acting spe
cifically, however, as a member of a
committee, ot which he was chosen
treasurer, appointed by the National
Association of Wool Manufacturers.
In 1896 he wts appointed by Gov
ernor Frederic T. Grcenhalge, of Mas

STEP IN STRUGGLE
IE RULE
Bill Introduced in Parlia
ment Gives Promise of
Desired End.
Chicago, May 8.—Tho general opin
ion of the home rule bill among Irlsh-
Amerlcans of prominence Is that while
meager In Its concessions, It Is a step
toward home rule.
The bill does not give complete liome
rule nor has It been the purpose of the
government to grant Ireland complete
self-rule at a single stroke. On the
contrary, aa explained, the govern
ment's measure Is but a stepping stone; -
It Is at least some measure of eelf-rulo
for Ireland over Irish affairs, and this
much accomplished, It gives some
promise of the ultimate realisation of
complete home rule.
