A Large-

Crowd of Terrc

llauteaii* Attend.

Grand Master Van Valzah Indicates the Building.

An Interesting' Address by Col. Win. K. Edwards.

A Splendid Supper, Excellent Music, and a Royal Time Generally.

On Thursday evening a delegation numbering forty-seven members,from the various Masonic lodges in this city, including the Grand Lodge of the State, and five b.dy friends, took a special train on the I. & St. L. road to Sanford, to assist in the dedication of a newly completed building for Sanford lodge. No. 330, of that village. The train left here at 6:30 and made the short run of nine miles

very

quickly, too quick considering the highly agreeable party aboard, nearly every one of whom had a well selected stock of choicest anecdotes to relate, keeping the car in one continuoui roar of laughter from first to last

Arriving there a few moments past 7 r. M., a large crowd, including many ladies, received them. In f'Ct the fair ones were decidedly in the majority, and thev gave the Terre Haute party a hearty welcome, and immediately escorted them to theii Masonic Hall,' which stands closc adjoining the railroad, so built that the railroad company mav lease one part ot th? first floor for an office and passenger room. The lodge room, on the second floor, is a large, neatly fitted and completely furnished room, handsomely papered, painted, carpeted and decorated, with the necessary ante-room and entrance hall. Here were found mamladies awaiting the interesting services to be held. Very soon the hall was filled to its utmost capacity, all quietly awaiting for the grand officers to enter and perform their services. While awaiting for them the choir gave several very beautiful selections. The choir invited to be present for the occasion consisted of the following well known singers including the pop

ular

Rives family of singers from Paris, 111: Miss Fannie Rives, Miss Hattie Rives, Miss Zillah Rives, Mr. Dock Rives, Mr. Ed, Seldomridce of Sanford. Mr. Warren Davis, J. W. Miller and A. W. Ileinlv. "Thelast three are of our city. After two or three selectians, assisted by the organ, the assemblage was called to order, and the dedication services were announced to commence. The Grand Lodge officers then appeared at the entrance where they were met by Mr. David E. Vanhanuten. Master of the Sandford lo lire, WM read the welcome and des'r-j of Uieir visit according to the prescribed masonic situal.

Then the general lodge entered consisting of the following officers: Dr. Rohert VanValzah, Grand Master John K. Graft", Deputy Grand Master E. O. George, Grand Senior Warden Phillip Schloss, Grand Junior Warden P. K. McCoskey, Grand Architect

Chaplain

Martin llollinger, Grand Stewards J. M. Sarkey, Dr. B. F. Swatfcrd.) W. M. Stevenson, J- Grand Light

Mitchell,) Beare s.

Di. J. E. Somes, Grand Sword Bearer. Altred L. Larr, Grand Martk Forming in procession they marched in and took their Masonic positions and the implements for the ceremony were placed in proper places, the Bible, the lights, corn, wine, and, and tools were arranged and the Grand Master Van Valzah opened the service?, calling for a prayer from the Grand Chaplain.

Then the G. M. commenced the usua dedication services, kno«vn4toall true Matons, but too lengthy for publication here, and in the name of "the Great Jehovah of St. John, and cf the whole Masonic fraternity, the building wa9 dedicated to the Masonic order. As each dedication was pronounced by the Grand Master, the procession made a circuit of the room, under the direction of Alfred L. Larr," the Grand Marshal, to music by Miss Rives at the organ. The ceremonies were very impressive. The closest attention was given by the assemblage, in deep silence, adding to the solemnity of the scene.

At the conclusion of the dedication services, and the building had been pronounced good and proper, and had been turned over to Sandford lodge, then all were invited to proceed to the warehouse hall a large roomy building close adjoining, to listen to the masonic address and music.

A stage had been built across one end of the room, and seats had been arranged for the audience, which quickly filled the hall, numbering about four hundred and fiftv persons with the ladies in the majority". 'Seated on the staging were the officeis of the grand lodge, also on the right was ihe choir, with a splendid cabinet organ, presided over by one of the charming Misses Rives. The organ and speakers stand were handsomely decorated with large clusters of Sowers.

The organ used was one of the "Palace" make, a beautiful instrument, kindly loaned for the occasion by Mr. J. A. Marshal, of this city.

The services here commenced with music by the choir, after which Grand Master Van Valzah, in a short and very gracefully given specch, introduced to the audience Col. W. Edwards, as the orator of the evening. The colonel, who wa6 suffering from a disagreeable cold, "was received with much enthusiasm and loud cheers, which he pleasantly acknowledged, and then proceeded to give his address on the subject of "Masonry.

It was.a masterly effort, highly credit able to the author lor the deep study and careful research that had evidently been used in Dreparing the subject, and it was complied in a very attractive manner, not drv and methodical, not merely interesting to membere of the Masonic

order,

but to all, and the close attention paid to it from first to last, with the frequent applauds given to the numerous fine passages, showed the appreciation felt and understood by all.

ADDRESS OF COL. EDWARDS.

tion of free and accepted ancientYork masonry exists, wherever civilization abides. You have witnessed to-night the interesting ceremonies of dedicating a subordinate lodge.

All lodges are situated due east and west, and are dedicated to St. John the Baptist and St. John tne Evangelist They are two of the twelve apostles. They were early and most eminent patrons of Freemasonry, and in their names two annual festivals are held on the 24th of June and the 27th of December.

Freemasonry teaches a morality that is unchanging and universal, that Attaches itself to the people of all climes, and to those of erery worship. 1 he speaner here ref'ered to the mysteries that prevailed among the ancient nations.—He 6tated the philosophy that was taught by Pythagoras—He claimed all the teachings of antiquity were invariably clothed in allegories and illustrated by symbols. That the legends of these ailegorie8, is not Free Masonry. And its origin is not be found in these, nor in any other ancient society of philosophy or philanthropy. That the intellig"ntjreader of ancient dates should not thereby be confused as to the legitimacy of Free Masonry.

Because these ancient mysteries in their organization, taught the arts and sciences, law and philosophy, morals and philanthropy, should not lead to mistake.

The date of the origin of Free Masonry is older than the Hebrew symbols and passwords—before the period that furnishes any written proof. Its principles are th^se that combine divine and human wisdom and morality perfected. Formed with such strength intheir symmetry,their harmony graced by such charms of beau ty, when practiced by the virtues that adorn them will overcome prejudice and soothe passion. Its progress is peaceful in the eternal pat^i of universal right. It docs not interfere with any duty that the individual may owe to his God, his country, his family or to himself.

Inculcating full sympathy for the welfare of the human race, it is friendly to religion, liberty and good government. It conforms to law, order and sound moralty. No one who does not believe in the existence of a Supreme Being is entitled to become a Mason, the Bible is an essential to the lodge-room, wi.huut it the square, plumb and compass would be meaningless, there would be no significance to right angles,horizontals, and perpendiculars.

The tenets of Masonry in their practice enlarge the sphere of affections. All are brctheren in the lodge-room, •quals, except in that distinction, who can best carry out the benevolent principles

Free Masonry stands alone upon the system of typical traditions. Spurious hieroglypics, sybils and oracles existed among the ancients.

The legends of free masonry are marked—pure and brilliant, so that the skilled mason or the intelligent reader may not be mistaken in discerning.

The speaker relerred to the cubical stone, upon which was inscribecf the mythical diagram that represented the sacred name, that in the leaching goes back to the garden.

Thattheic were then no authentic records to consult, aiid a few men for many generations had to instruct those who were to come after them and for posterity. In masonry, during Jewish antiquity David and Solomon were the most conversant with these mysteries. The speaker enumerated the shekinah and other symbols, and explained hew they were signs of moral duties, and that they were types of events of patriarchal history, that have been perpetuated orally, and in no other manner. That they should not be written is an ancient land-mark, and the institution does not admit that it "can be changed. Much of thf» world's history is necessarily traditional, yet every pait and point of free-Masonry has its lesson, every ceremony its reference, and every landmark its full historical meaning. The consistency of the parts of free-Masonry, is typical of past events, connected with the best interest of society.

The order preserved and cherished the promise of a redeemer invented the seven liberal arts and sciences—geometry is the groundwork upon which the institution is erected.

The motto upon lodge seals is a translation from Latin of the sublime opening of creation. "And God said let there be light, and there was lignt." The speaker here gave a descriptive view of the masonry of God. Then he explained that the principles upon which masonry was founded was common to human nature, being older than the christian era included Jew and Gentile alike. They were the principles that ascended to heaven on th$ vapor of Abel's sacrifice It is, therefore, that free masonry embrce every enlightened race and tongue.

The speaker referied to the apocolyptic vision, and made other Biblical references, for a view of moral masonry.

The tpeaker then referred to architec ture, as the n.ost splendid and useful invention of man. He showed how it designed and laid the foundations of free Masonrj. This he denominated as the Masonry of man.

When architecture from operative became speculative also, masons became the working men of mind.

Thus made up. consider the institution on a broad scale, by its traditionary evidences, its wonderful constructions and various emblems, and ith a charity that is undimmed by the dust of centuries.

Its preservation is extraordinary. Its an tiquity does not make it good as humanity is a brotherhood by nature,so it has lived because it is good. Here the speaker stated the trials through which it had passed and claimed that the changing passion of men and of society did not effect its law of kindness.

The speaker stated that the early history of nations was nvolved in doubt. When, where and how free masonry orig-

inated—however interesting it may be—it -n prajses

is sufficient to know that it was perfected 1

at the building* of King Solomons tern-

pie The speaker referred to precise details of the temple. And then stated that it was erected by one whose name is a proverb for wisdom. That was the first manifestation ever erected to Deity. King Solomon aedicated it to the one and ever living God. The speaker gave a description of parts of the temple, to show how Masonry was constructed. That the several apartments with their various emblems aad outfits, represented the various degrees. The speaker described the ornaments of the temple, and stated that they implied that Masons tried their affections by justice, and their actions by truth, as the square trifes the workmanship of the operative. The speaker here explained the meaaiag ol tbe point within ... sties

a circle, to shotf why the lessons of Masonry wete symbolic. He s'ated that the connection of St John the Baptist, and St. John the Evangelist being considered, the three great masters are Solomon, Hiram Abiff and Hiram King of Tyre. The speaker explained the doctrines, mission and practice of free Mastomy, in visiting the sick, relieving the distressed, burying the dead.

He referred to what fhe public authorities had done. That the promise would always be at hand, that the poor would never cease in the land. That the highest may need and the humbles could render aid and sympathy. That the selfish whose heart was not imbued with sympathy and would not render charity, was unfit to become a Mason. He would not be at home in a lodge room if he was admitted.

The speaker stated that whoever studied the designs on a Masonic trestleboard, though he may not have received an early education, hen he is through with their instructions, his mind is disciplined, and b.-comes engaged in considering great truths.

The speaker referred to the objections made to Free Masonry, and made ap propriate answers thereto. Masonry, though it exists in monarchic*, does not receive the support and encouragement it does in a government as free as ours. The speaker stated the reasons therefor. He claimed that Masonary had ever maintained the birthright of humanity. That it had ever recognized labor as a necesitv. That by Masonic rules the day was divided in three equal parts of eight hours each, one part being devoted to labor and that no one is entitled to membership, unless he pursued some honorable occupation.

The labor referred to is not only that in Solomon's temple, to the sound of the hammer on the ponderous tombs of the Pharoahs, but to that which goes to make up all the activities of cultured life, that is to nourish, uplift and purify life. The speaker made full outline of his points, of whic!* this synopsis is all that our space will admit.

Concluding with the sentiment that life should be measured by deeds, thoughts and teelings, and not by years, breath-s, and figures that the luxury of doing good should be learned and practiced. By that Masonry had'so long lived, and now exists in the sunlight of the same purity that shor.e upon it when it was first established—when the ivory throne sat in the temple.

At the conclusion of the address, the choir ga/e a selection, and the immense throng was then invited to partake of the banquet in the lower hall. The tables were arranged to seat about a hundred a* once, and they presented a beautiful and most tempting sight, decorated with flowers, and loaded with all kinds of colt. meats, turkey, chicken, ham, roast beef, tongue, veal, mutton, &c., &c., and cake beyond description, except that it was all perfectly delicious coffee, tea. pickles, sauces, jellies,and allmannerofpreserved fruits. In fact, it was plainly evident that Sanford had "spread out" for that supper, and that the ladies of that community fully knew how to respond for the occasion, and that every daughter of Eve was that true friend of man, a good cook. Certainly it was a feast, and its excellence went a long wav to relieve the ladies from the stigma attached to them of being of the sex of her, who, by her provoking love of apples, has made all mankind have to sweat around ever since for a living. Sandford ought and does feel proud of its women, and thev deserve special praise for that feast. All the food could be safely relied upon as being perfectly genuine. Much taste was exhibited in the various dishes, especially in the make up of the butter and cakes, in which pleasing artistic skill was shown. The feast was given by Sandford Lodge, and the tables presided over by Messrs J. Knight, A. French, J. W. D. Wolfe Joseph Hamrack, A. E. May, J. Fuqu and M. Tohnson, and by Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Shnman, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Wolfe and Mrs. Fuqua.

After supper the guests again returned to the warehouse and were regaled with the following selections of music 1. "Where he leads we will follow," by the Rives family. 2. "Auld Lang Svne," by thechoir. 3. "Do they missme at home,'* choir. 4. "Are we forgotten when we're gone," a solo by Mr. Rives. 5. "A comical trio," by Davis, Miller and Heinly. 6. "Just inside the gates of gold," by the Rives lamily. 7.

Behold,how good!" Rives Sisters. 8. (By request), "Sweet Bye an Bye," choir. 9. "Hold the Fort," all, 10. "In the Sunlight," Rives Sisters.

After the singing, short speeches, jokes and anecdotes were in order. A more jolly crowd it would be hard to find, especially the Terre Haute delegation, notwithstanding the numerous gray-heads. It was found they were actually more sportive than the young men. H. C. Miller was so entirely satisfied, that he meditated remaining there, and U. S. Postmaster Robert Lynn, of Hymera, proved a whole caravan of fun. His laughing act was good, and carried the house by a large majority.

Speeches were then rolled off in a steady stream of wit, by McCoskry, Dr. Stevenson, Dr. Ballou, Dr. Van Valzah, Dr. Heinly, Ed W. Black, and others Mr. McCoskry was struck by a mysterious loss of a bundle of cake, and would hardly be consoled, but finally was induced to give a broad smile by its restoration. It was noticed that the old silvertops drew out sundry cigars and rapidly collected in solemn little groups, in which one person could We seen evidently discoursing, and at sundry intervale, an explosion seemed to occur.

At last the order came for all Terre Hautentots to go on board the waiting special train and at about half past eleven all arrived home, loud
