Success.
The choir of twelve children from
v the Oxford Orphan Asylum, accom
panied by Miss Ether Finlator, the
vocal - instructor, and . Siipt. N. M
Lawrence! arrived Thursday on the
1:30 p . m. train from Fayetteviile.
They were met at the train by Grand
Master -Move, Mr. J. D. Bullock, the
Master of the Masonic Lodge, Mr.
D. Oettinger, Chairman of the. Asy
lum Committee, -Rev. Mr. Davis, the
pastor of the Christian church and
several others of our citizens. Any
. one who witnessed the reception of
the visitors would have thought that
it was a welcome to ones own chil
dren "who had been off on a long
visit and were just returning home-Mr-
Oettinger seemed to be in his
glory, and every one of the children
seemed to want to go , with him
Children seem to know instinctively
who love them, and have a way of
looking; through, the eyes right down
into the heart oFV ptison, and they
rarely make a mistake.
Mr. Lawrence and two of the chil
dren were quartered at the Briggs
, House, the guests of the proprietor,
the others were entertained by citi
zens who seemed to be ar.xious to
secure them in their homes.
The choir, consists of ten girls and
two boys. From our own, observa
tion arid the unanimous verdict ot
, those with whom they stayed; a
more polite, lady like gentlemanly
and nicer set of children never visited
our town. This speaks 'well for the
management of the Asylum and gives
it a deeper hold upon the sympathies
of every good man and woman, who
loves humanity ;and believes in rescu
ing the destitute children of North
Carolina and fitting therm lor lives ol
.usefulness, making them factors for
good instead of evil, thereby doing
the best possible work for God and
our State. Can the State or the
Masons or the citizens cl North Caro
lina spend money more judic o :sly or
economically ? We think not. These
children are an obiect lesson wher
ever they go ol vi hat has been done
or what may be done for the desti
tute and helpless orphan who other
wise would be left to the -cold charity
of a selfbh and ur.fee.ling world.
Supt. Lawrence is not slow to recog
nize the great influence the sight of
these children wiil have for putting
the institution and its work in touch
with the people,
The comert at night in the Opera
House was just splendid the songs
were rendered beautifully", there was
nothing stiff or constrained about the
singing, it was more like the joyful
songs of birds, so spontaneous and
free. The surprise was that the
voices of children could be cultivated
to the compass and expression at
tained, by them. The people were
"more than pleased; they were delight
ed. It was an entertainment of a
high order and the pleasure derived
bevond comparison. The recitations
were beautifully and aesthetically
rendered and showed training of a
'high order. Every Mason in the
'town feels prouder to day ol the Ox
'ford Orphan Asylum than ever be
fore. - The work being done reflects
predit and honor on the fraternity,
j The statement of Grand Master
loye in his appropriate introductory
emarks that the doors pi the Asy
ini were open to every destitute or
han in the State to the extent ol its
ipacity, shows the broadness of
Masonry and is a better e-xemplifica-bn
of its principles than all the
eeches of orators or all the homilies
hnn its tenets which could be writ-

presented Mr. Davis, who entered at
ence upon .his theme. Mr. Davis is
a forcible and interesting speaker,

capftired his audience. v
