Speaking with much feeling,
Mr. Rooker said that the true Ma
son seeks constantly tp apply his
growing knowledge of Masonry to
his own conduct, arid to his vre-
latioris with other Masons, as
well as with all men. He believes
in the dignity of human personal
ity, and acts on that belief. He
develops a respect for what, men
of every religion hold sacred. He
acts on the conviction that the
values of life are, in the last
analysis, spiritual and not materi
al.
He pointed out that Masonry
“really has no secrets as far as,
its objectives are concerned. 'The
practical art of Masonry consists
of bringing together stone, brick,
wood, steel and other materials
and arranging and erecting them.
Masonry is a unified body of men
building together.”
Lloyd L. Woolley was toastmas
ter for the meeting, which opened
with “America” led by H. W.
Ehrhardt, jr. Dr. Cheves K. Ligon
of Brownson Memorial Presbyte
