MASONIC ORDER AT
JAMES ST, COURCH .
On Sunday evening last the mem
bers of Lebanon Forest Lodge, No.
133, A.Fm & A.M., attended divine
worship in James St. United church.
The brethren formed at the lodge
room with Rt. Wor. Bro. T, Pryde as
director of ceremonies and paraded,
to the church. W* Bro, JC J. Lamp
man and his officers occupied the
front pews. Visitors were present
from Hensail, about sixty being in
the line of parade. The church
was decorated with flowers and
flags. The choir furnished an an
them, ‘‘The Vast Universe” by
Pearce, with Miss Pearl Wood sing
ing the solo obligatto. A quartette,
“I Want My Life to Tell for Jesus”
was sung by W. Cutbush, A, E.
Wuerth, W. R. Goulding and E.
Lindenfield.
The minister, Rev, A. Page, deliv
ered a most Impressive sermon. He
stated that in primitive society,
there were four institutions, equally
divine, equally sacred, all tokens of
the solidarity' of aspiration and ob
ligation, of need and destiny, which
binds humanity together. There
was, first of all and most funda
mental, the Home—the corner of
society and civilization, w.hich sat
isfies more human needs than any
other fellowship. As all things were
in the morning of life, it was crude,
yet it had in it the prophecy of the
enshrinement of beauty and tender
ness into which we were born, the
memory of which hallows us still.
The basic fact in the human story
is the family as the unit of values,
marking the life of man off from
anything known or looked for in
the animal world.
Secondly, there was the Temple
of Prayer—not a temple at first,
but only a rough altar .of uncut
stone—uplifted by the same instinct
for the Eternal which built the
great cathedrals. Third there was
the State, at the outset a patriarchal
rule, then merging into the tribe
and the nation, and eventually into
huge empires which .met in the
clash of conflict. It .was imper
fect, as it still is, but had in it the
rudiments of our patriotic devo
tion to our Dominion and Empire.
In the fourth place there was the
Men’s House, quite as old as the oth
er institutions, . equally sacred and
hardly less important. Every young
man when he came to maturity, was
initiated into the law, legend and
tradition of his people. It was
really the centre of early tribal life,
the council chamber, the guest house,
the place of meeting for men, where
laws were made and courts were
held, and where the trophies of war
were treasured. Early human so
ciety as far as the men were con
cerned, was a secret society, It is
a key to the interpretation of primi
tive social life. Methods «of in
itiation differed in different times
and places, but they had always
the same purpose. They were tests
to prove youth worthy by reason of
valor and virtue, to be entrusted
with the secret lore of the tribe.
The ceremonies included vows of
chastity, of courage, of sqcrecy and
loyalty, and a drama representing
the advent of the novice into his
new life of privilege and responsi
bility. The new life included a new
name, a new language of signs,
grips and tokens, whereby to make
himself known to his fellows in the
dark as well as in the light.
To-day we understand the place
of the secret society, or lodge, in.
the development of civilization, and
that the Men’s House, along with
the home and the temple, is one of
the oldest institutions of man. The
House of the Hidden Place, when
the tribe ceased to be the unit of
society, giving way to the nation,
became at once a school and a
■temple, preserving and transmitting
the truths of religion, the rudiments
of science, and the laws of art, all
• of w.hich were universally held as»
sacred secrets to be known only by
jtlie initiated. Thus the great an-
