(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Washington, B. C, Feb. 5 Mem
bers of the Masonic fraternity here
are much interestel In the controver
sy which haB arieen among Masons,
particularly in the south, because of
the action of the grand master of the
grand lodge in 'Ohio in granting a
special dispensation to a Masonic
lodge at Columbus, - Ohio, to make
President-elect Taft a Mason "at
sight" on February 28. It Is balieved
that the action of the Ohio Masonic
officials was taken for the purpose of
solidifying themselves with the president-elect,
and for no other. So un
usual Is it for a candidate to be made
a Mason "at sight"; that instances of
this kind are few; and far between.

ident Roosevelt and-others who are
distinguished as lfl vVresident-elect
Taft have beqn dejil$ ;ueh -an honor,

the Masonic fraternity. It is the
opinion of ninety-nine Masons out of
100 in this Masonic Jurisdiction that
some one is merely trying to play pol
itics and inject themselves into light
by showing such unusual honor to Mr.
Taft. If the president-elect were
about to leave the country so hastily
that he would not have time to take
the degree of fellow craft and master
Mason and was going to some place
where no Masonic lodge exists, with

The court house was filled last
night with those who had come to
hear Rev. W. W. Smith, of Roanoke,
Va., the evangelist who can make
the people laugh and cry. !
Before beginning his sermon the
evangelist took a shot at the short-
comings of the modern church. He
spoke along the following lines:!
If the modern church does not
change there will be organizations
outside the church to carry on chris
tian work. The church Is not in earn
est, and not one preacher out of ten
takes any stock in evangelistic work;
but when the people have been con
verted undej the evangelists' preach
ing, the preacher runs after thorn in
order to get them into his church. A
man who does not endorse the evan-
gelist does not believe in the Bible, business is wrong. There is nowhere

preach as plain as docs the evange-
list, and no man is tit to be a acacon,
or. even a Christian, who does not
have a family altar he is not even

Abraham gave Lot the choice of the
land, but men these days have law

go to hell making it. The world is
going to hell as fast as it can.
