COUNTY-WIDE AUDIENCE :
HEARD DR. ANDREWS: .
Sermon at Marvin Church: Sunday
Night Upon History and Principles
of Masonry Brought Big Crowd
Tyler, Oct. 25—An audience that
taxed both the main auditorium and
the balcony of Marvin Methodist
Sunday night heard Dr. W. F. An-
drews, Preaiding Elder of the Tyler
District Texas Conference, in a mas-
terful presentation of the history and
principles of Masonry. There were In
addition to the large congregation
that usually attend services at this
great old house of worship, many rep-
resentatives from all of the six other
communities in the county in which
are located Masonic Lodges, many
rom other communities, and many
from the city who usually attend
other places of worship. The great
audience and the occasion must have
furnished to Dr. Andrews a great
inspiration, for he never appeared “in
better form” in any pulpit.
The musical features of the pro-
gram were superb. Prof. J. F. Witte
directed an orchestra of eight instru-
ments. A male quartet rendered a
special selection and Mrs. Crutcher
directed the choir of fifty male voices,
while Mrs. Grady White accompanied
>n the pipe organ. Dr. Ira F. Key,
Pastor of Marvin church, led the
congregation in prayer. George L.
Pitts, Worshipful Master of St. Johns
Lodge No. 53 of this city served as
Master of Ceremonies. Many old
songs were sung, some of them by
the congregation as a whole.
Masonry to Not a Religion
Dr. Andrews in the beginning stat-
ed with emphasis that which is known
and taught by all well-informed Ma-
sons, namely that Masonry is not a
religion; nor is it meant to take the
place of religion or the church. How-
ever, 'Masonry in all ages of the
world’s history that have been record-
ed with accuracy has been the "hand-
maid” of the Church, and has foster-
ed its growth and the free exercise
of religion and of conscience as each
man may conceive in his right and
duty.
Masonry in the beginning, contin-
ued Dr. Andrews, was a kind of inter-
national Labor Union composed of
builders, sculptors, and artisans who
wrought with their own hands with
the implements of their trades which,
as the organisation developed thru
the centuries, came to be recognised
as the symbols of Masonry. These,
men, bound together by common ties
and recognising themselves by signs
which all could understand regard-
less of the language which he spoke,
were known ss "Operative Masons.”
They builded the great temples of an-
tiquity and the great churches and
cathedrals of the middle ages—snd
the Doctor told of seeing in Rome,
Italy, the great Pantheon erected be-
fore the Christian Era upon which
were the signs and symbols of Mason-*
ry. When civilisation and learning
wad been so far advanced and the skill
of craftsmanship in architecture so
far developed that the services of Op-
erative Masonry were no longer re-
quired as it had been theretofore,
then the organised craftsmen began
to admit to their circle men of letters,
scholars, physicians, artists, ministers
and others preeminent for their learn-
ing and virtue. Thus was Masonry
transformed from purely operative to
“Speculative” Masonry, which is the
form in which it operates thruout the
world at this time.
There was no further need, con-
tinued Dr. Andrews, for Masonry as
builders of material structures; but
there was and Is need that good men
of this type shall remain organized for
he building of a better world, for
he building of governments, of hu-
man character, of high ideals. He re-
ited the fact that wherever Masonry
has flourished, democracy, freedom
and liberty have borne their greatest
ruits and given their greatest light
to the races of men. He stated that
1 our own country it is a historic
fact that 53 of the 56 signers of the
Declaration of Independence were
Master Masons that Washington Pres-
ident of the constitutional convention,
was assisted in his matchless labors
by a proportion of its members who
vere Masons as great as the propor-
tion in the Convention that issued the
Declaration of Independence. Nearly
or quite half, of the Presidents of the
United States were Masons,
Clarence A. Kee, wife and child
were Troup visitors this week, in the
home of their mother, Mrs. Z. C.
Kee. Mr. Kee is in the department
store business at Kaufman. He also
operates a store at Athens. He says
fall business has been mighty good
in his section, and conditions were
never better.
From Galveston comes the an-
nouncement of the birth of a son to
Mr, and Mrs. C. J. Viehmann on Oct.
7 at John Sealy hospital. The new
arrival is a grandson of Mrs. J. B.
Ledford who formerly lived at Arp.
Mrs. Viehmann was before her mar-
raige. Miss Gladys Ledford.

So widely diffused is Masonry up-
on the earth that the sun never sets
upon Masonic lodges at work. Cita-
tion was made of the fact that even
now thruout our country it is not an
uncommon sight to see Masonic
Lodges housed under the same roof as
a church. This does not mean that
church and lodge are the same—but it
does emphasize, says Dr. Andrews,
■ fact that those who usually sup-
port the church in a community are
most often members of the Masonic
>dge. In former times the presence
f the Masonic Lodge under the same
of with a church was a common
characteristic of our pioneer days.
Masonry fosters virtue among its
members and extends its encircling
arms and exercises its ever watchful
e for the protection of womanhood
I the home; it quitely extends its
offices of charity arid promotes pop-
ar education. Masonry invites no
men into its portals—if he comes, con-
•ued the Doctor, he must do so be-
cause of the good opinion he enter-
ns of the craft. It prescribes no
reed; and, having thru its own agen-
‘es, ascertained an applicant’s fitness
otherwise, it requires but one avowal,
that a belief in God.
Dr. Andrews recited instances
where Masonry had served those who
could not speak the languare of the
country they were in, of how even in
such circumstances their distresses
had been speedily relieved. The climax
of all Masonic teaching is that God
is our common Father and that, be-
cause of this, sll mankind are
brothers. He closed his address with
an appeal to his hearers to accept the
Fatherhood of God and practice the
Brotherhood of Man. >:
TWENTY YBARB AGO
IN TROUP
In its issue of October 24, 1907,
The Troup Banner reported that—
The Troup Business League had
pointed a committee consisting of J.
D. Collier, W. T. Braly, Wilson Ar-
nold and J. A. Tipton to look into a
proposition of combining a box and
crate factory with an ice and electric
plant at Troup.
A new general mercantile store
had been opened at Overton by Neal
and Bagwell.
That the old saying, “spare the rod
and spoil the child” was to be applied
with moderation in the Tyler public
schools twenty years ago is indicated
by the following excerpt: "The Tyler
superintendent was authorized to sub-
stitute a rubber tube for the old-fash-
joned switch in administering cor-
poral punishment. The superintendent
stated that he had been informed that
the rubber tube had been tried success-
fully and that while the tube hurt the
feelings of the child equaled that giv-
en by the switch, yet the tube was not
liable to cut the skin or cause bruises
on the child.”
A schedule of trains thru Troup
twenty years ago follows: South-
bound—No. 3, 9:32 p. m.; No. 5 5:15
p. m.; No. 7, 6:16 p. m.; Northbound
—No. 2, 2:55 p. m.; No. 4, 11:81 p.
m.; No. 6, 9:82 a. m. Mineola branch
(Southbound)— No. 15. 9:00 a. m.;
No. 17, 2:45 p. m. (Northbound)—
No. 16, 9:45 a. m.; No. 18, 5:15 p. m.
Regarding good roads an editorial
stated: "It is indeed regrettable that
the people take so little interest in
their public roads. If they did not
own the roads there would be some
excuse for this indifference, but the
coeds are their property and this prop-
erty represents the ambitions of the
community.”
