The ministers of our city's churches
have formed an association, and meet
in a body every Monday morning. The
last meeting was held at the residence
of Rev. W. M. Robey,. where thev
decided to hold all meetings hereafter
at the rooms of the Y. M. G. A. The
object of this association is to lighten
and enlighten ministerial labor.
Wo would urge upon our business
men to take an active part in the wel
fare of the Y. M. C. A. It is a laud
able organization, and ought to be en
couraged by our moneyed men of this
city. The annual dues are only two
dollars, and the benefits to be derived
therefrom, in the way of wholesome
literature, are almost incalculable.

I DEALS OF MASONRY.
Rev. Marx Moses' Lecture at Tiie
Hebrew Tejiple by Invitation
of The Masonic Lod6eofTiiis
City.
Last Friday evening the Hebrew
Temple was filled by a large and in
telligent audience, to listen, to Rev.
Marx. Moses' brilliant lecture on the
"Ideals of Mawmry." He said it was
a subject,, in which every one was in
terested, no matter what his religion
or what his country may be. All in
stitutions, social moral or political,
had their ideals. They existed in every
sect and every institution. To the
ideals of Masonry he invited the at
tention of his audience an institution
created by man for his development
and his advancement. It was not ne
cessary to enter into a discussion of
its history or of its principles. Mason
ry was independent of social and re
ligious principles. In society however
it recognized the relations of human
brotherhood; in politics, human rights,
in religion, the need of divine assist
ance. It was these three ideals so
cial, religious and political, which. he
proposed to consider. The social ideal
of Masonry was substantial, ar.d taught
a lesson of brotherly love, unexcelled
by all other organizations. The Goldm
en Rule was at the basis of its social
ideal. He-illustrated the ancient tra
dition of the social friendship between
a monarch of Israel and his master
builder, which had been preserved by
the symbols of Masonry, and which
inspired one hope oue faith, one prin
ciple. The importance of a brother's
welfare was constantly impressed, upon
the Masonic order. This was the first
point where it touched our daily life.
The second reached higher. Above
man was the great I am. A brother's
welfare was followed by the adoration
of a heavenly being. There could be
no holier bonds of friendship than this;
no grander ideal. This was oue of the
grand social ideals of masonry, A
third was to guard the honor and repu
tation of a brother's name and a broth
er's character, an ideal which the
speaker elaborated, remarking that
this ideal did not, and should not.
shield a man from just punishment
from crime or the transgressions of
law. Another point in the social ideal
was the advice guaranteed by truest
friendship. The religious ideal was
next considered by the lecturer. Ma
sonry did not ask.a man in what nation:
it recognizes all as brothers It did
not ask a man what his religion; it
did not care for his religion, for it
recognized God. The basis of Mason
ry was a recognition of the divine
Creator, and the love of your neigh
bor as yourself. - The bearing of Ma
sonry upon political life was then con
sidered. Questions of party politics
never entered into Masonry, but Ma
sons recognized hut nan rights, and hu
man welfare. Ihe watchword of Ma
sonic life was light. This was the call
of soul. It was one of thj commands
of the Creator. "Let there be light."
The lecture, which only occupied thirty
five minutes. in its delivery, was. well
received, and claimed the closest at
tention of the audience. It was both
able and eloquent, anl was delivered
in a very effective manner. The lec
ture will add greatly to the reverend
gentleman's reputation as a scholar and
an orator, as well as a brilliant and en
tertaining lecturer.
