Page Twenty-Two BADIN bulletin A* A** LODGE NOTES A. F. and A. M. Public Installation On July 19, the members of Yadkin Falls Lodge, No. 637, held their annual installation of officers, to which they invited the wives and friends of all the Masons in Badin. A large number of the Albemarle members attended. The regular form of installation was fol lowed by Bro. W. R. Wake, the Retiring Master of the Lodge, who was the install ing officer, with Bro. J. W. Frazier, of Salem Lodge, No. 289, acting as Mar shal. The officers for the coming year are as follows; E. F. Smith, Worshipful Master; W. E. Funk, Senior Warden; F. E. Street, Junior Warden; W. H. Davis, Senior Deacon; J. F. Bowling, Junior Deacon; F. M. Rinehardt, Stew ard; E. M. Morgan, Steward; J. M. Vann, Tiler. After the installation, the following program was very much enjoyed by those assembled: Invocation—Rev. G. W. Vick. Song—Quartet. History of Yadkin Falls Lodge—H. R. Wake. A Mason's Wife—Mrs. Z. V. Kidd. The Masonic Orphanage at Oxford— J. F. Bowling. Song—Quartet. Masonry in the Community—J. E. S. Thorpe. Masonry in the United States—Rev. T. G. Tate. Song—Quartet. The history of practically two years’ work by Yadkin Falls Lodge was brief, but revealed the fact that the members had all been working in close co-opera- tion, which accounts for the splendid progress that has been made. Mrs. Kidd brought forth the benefits of Ma sonry to the women and children, and urged all Masons’ wives to insist that their husbands attend Lodge regularly. She was enthusiastically applauded at the completion of her remarks. After Mrs. Kidd had finished, Bro. E. F. Smith stated that Mrs. Smith and Mrs. F. E. Street had particularly requested to be allowed to speak on the subject of the disadvantages of being a Mason’s wife. Apparently these ladies had a sudden change of mind, for they failed to respond when repeatedly called upon. Brother Bowling gave the history of the Masonic Orphanage, at Oxford, which has an attendance of 375 chil dren, ranging from babies a few months old to girls and boys eighteen years of age. Bro. J. E. S. Thorpe thanked Mrs. Kidd for her interest in Masonry, and spoke briefly of the value of Masonry in the Community. Bro. T. G. Tate then gave a very in teresting talk on Masonry in the United States, giving a list of the prominent men in this country who had been mem bers, and bringing forth the fact that a large number of historical happenings in the development of this country qould be directly traced to Masonic meetings. He made particular emphasis of the fact that friendship is one of the most promi nent Masonic jewels, and asked that the members keep this ever before them. The audience was very much pleased with the music, which was furnished by the Badin quartet, composed of Messrs. Arthur, Belk, Burns, and Gomo, accom panied by Mrs. H. W. Bell. Badin is to be congratulated on having such a quartet. After the program, refreshments, in the' form of punch, ice cream, and cake, were enjoyed by those present. One of the most interesting features of this occasion was the presentation to Past Master H. R. Wake of a handsome gold watch, as a token of appreciation from the Lodge. It was an absolute surprise to Bro. Wake, and his discom fiture was very much enjoyed by all present. The retiring Worshipful Master has given a great deal of interest to the Lodge, and contributed much to its suc cess, and this testimonial of regard and appreciation was a very fitting part of this installation ceremony.
