VOL. 32, NO. 7 i - i- Commercial T I -V,. i V 7 1j ' if v MASONS' BANQUET BY EASTERN STAR Banquet for the Benefit of New Ma sonic Building. The 0. E. S. of Union City gave , a banquet arid public entertainment last Thursday night in the new Ma sonic building in Union City. This was a very notable as veil, as a very delightful occasion. Nearly two hundred altogether were Eeated at the tables, superintended by the ladies of the order vith one of the best prepared suppers ever served at a time like this. Miss Nelle Marshall, Worthy Ma tron of the order, was in charge of the ceremonies, with Mr. J. Walker Kerr as toastmaster, and followed one of the finest events, characterized by the "Feast of reason 'and the flow of the soul. " Mr. Kerr very happily conducted all of the, various features of the pro ' gram to the pleasure" of this large concourse of people, many of whom were present from neighboring cities. Dr. C. W. Miles, Sr., was introduced as one of the oldest members of the : Masonic order present, and the Doc tor responded in a very interesting ' manner concerning the nature and character of Masonry and the vork of the good women in the 0. E. S. Our republic, says Dr. Miles, is drift ing toward the precipice. The insti tutions of American liberty are be ing undermined with political treachery and treason. Therefore it remains with other moral influences for the great principles of free ma sonry to save the nation. Many minds are now turned to Masonry, the great humanizing spirit for guidance and protection. Dr. Miles complimented the ladies of the 0 E. S. and quoted . among other things the lines from .- Pope: "The world was sad, the garden was a wild, i And man the hermit sighed till ' woman smiled." Judge Elkins, of Dresden, was in troduced as the next speaker. The Judge was gratified to be present on this happy occasion with so many ' good people linked in the bonds of fellowship. The motive for Masonry is a pure one. The example or its work has justified its existence. The ' greatest institution among men is the church, and the next in it& in fluence upon mankind is free mason ry, which is founded upon the Holy Scriptures. The Judge referred to the work among the widows and orphans. Judge Elkins spoke of the origin and work of the Eastern Star, the influ ence of the good women, the home, motherhood, manhood all inspired in the teachings of masonry. Miss Nola Allmond Was a reader in an interesting selection. , Dr. Adkerson and Miss Roberta Marshall were heard In a charming duet, and were compelled to respond to an encore. Miss Nelle Marshall, the Worthy Matron of the 0. E. S., made a few remarks of appreciation of the pres ence and good will of the large crowd: It was indeed encouraging to.-the ladies in the fine work they are doing to help the Masons of Un ion City in the building of a new home. Here Miss Marshall introduced Mrs. Geneva Dodd, who reviewed the O. E. S. and made one of the most in teresting speeches of the -occcasion. Next a solo by Miss LaNelle Mar shall, who is one of the favorite lo cal vocalists, in a selection of rare beauty, following with a popular number. Mr. J. Walker Kerr here took oc casion to say something of the new building in Union City, now under construction, the home of the Masons and the O. E. S., saying that the lodge was chartered thirty-two years ago and is now able to claim 150 members. The building program is the work of progressive Masonry and every effort would be made to com plete the plans at an early date. Dr.'F. M. McRee was one of the speakers on this auspicious occasion. ' Dr. McRee has been a Mason for 55 years in Obion County, probably the oldest member of the order in the county. He took occasion to express his profound gratification in being one of the favored ones on this oc casion. Mrs. Dean Keiser was a singer of the occasion, always in charming voice and favored the audience with eome good selections. - Mr. T. J. Bonner, Of Rives, sent his regrets, and it was a misfortune that the fine Mason and speaker coculd not be present.

She was glad to see Union City building a Masonic Temple and said that Fulton should follow the example. Minister Baker, who is always an orator, proposed that there be a vol untary '. offering to complete the building. The speaker said that this is a golden age with a great desire to serve and the greatest of all are the men and women worth while in the work of the, world. The greatest gift to man is the religion of God, and the greatest human , agency is free masonry.

On Tuesday night Dr. Hughes took his text from Hebrews on the sub ject of Temptation. Adam and Eve were tempted in the garden of Eden They were left to choose between good and evil and Satan tempted Eve and sin entered into the world. The devil took Christ upon a high moun tain and offered him the dominion of the world, but Christ said: "Get be hind me, Satan." And so Satan comes to all of us offering worldly pleasure in ex change for our souls. Dr. Hughes proceeded with many of his expert ences, some of these taking him to the old Bowery districts in New York City and winding up he related a sto ry of the famous Henry Grady, whose life was one of temptation, until God revealed the light thru a mother's love.
