PATRIOTISM RUNS
THROUGH MEETING
Postmaster's Night of Persever
ance Lodge Observed With
Many Speeches
Several hundred members of the Ma
sonic Fraternity gathered at the Ma
sonic Temple last night to enjoy the
annual Past Masters' night of old Per
severance lodge. These occasions are
always fraught with unusual interest
for members of the craft and last night
was no exception, many guests coming
from considerable distances to attend
the exercises.
Several past masters of Perseverance
and sister lodges were present. A note
of patriotism ran through all that oc
curred during evening and refer
ence was made in a number of speeches
to the participation of Masonic patriots
in the wars of this country as well as
in the achievements of. peace.
Arrangements for the event were in
the hands of Charles H. Hoffman, Dr.
J. M. J. Raunick, Clyde P. Love, W.
Harry Musser. Charles L. Sheaffer and
John M. Peregoy. The master of the
lodge, W. M. Ogelsby, was in the chair.
During the evening a Masonic orches
tra rendered patriotic music and all
present joined in the singing.
IMftctiNHeK Spirit of Country
At the banquet which followed the
regular exercises of the evening W.
Harry Musser was the toastmaster and
discussed briefly in his introductory re
marks the spirit of the countiV in the
present world war. He first called
upon one of the most popular members
of the Masonic fraternity in this city,
W. S. Snyder, the District Deputy
Grand Master, who responded in his
usual happy vein.
Notable among the speeches was that
by William M. Donaldson, who is one
of the pillars of Masonry In Pennsyl
vania, having been identified with the
Gra-nd Lodge and also in the construct
ive work of the Masonic, Homes at
Elizabethtown. Mr. Donaldson was at
his best last night and delivered a
most earnest and interesting address
upon the principles of the fraternity
and upon the underlying spirit which
should animate all its members. Sen
ator Scott S. Lelby eloquently discussed
the relation of the fraternity to the
war and dwelt upon the great brother
hood which means so much to the
Ktate and the nation.
Charles S. Duncan, of the Gettys
burg lodge, graphically described some
Incidents which occurred during the
famous battle of the Civil War in
which the Gettysburg Masons had dem
onstrated the tenets which have made
the Masonic body a power for good
in the world. Altogether it was a de
lightful evening and will go down in
the annals of old Perseverance as one
of its red letter nights.
