Dr. Hurford addressed the home and vis- iting lodges, taking the theme of an able and appropriate address from 1st Kings, 6:1: "He began to build the house of the Lord." The Mason's task, he said, is that of building, This building is twofold, first .the building of a temple and second, the building of a character. A temple is built as a recognition of the great Master Mind of the universe and as a plate for worshipping the Creator. In that temple and within the ark were So be found the two tables of the sacred law which showed that the Deity de- manded righteousness. A Mason is also a builder in regard to character, developing state morals, sound judg- ment and brotherly love. The great task of the Order today is the en- couragement of a spirit of brother- hood in. international life, and in the Ocenomic and industrial world. The power to build is of God by,,whose aid Solorneis erected the first ',temple at Jerusaleth.
