So much has been said, written and published about Abraham Lin- to-day seems like a thrice told tale, vet what he was and what he did will live in the memory of the people of 18ts. His wise and patriotic utterances, during the Civil war, come to us, like | a voice from the tomb, to-day, in the expression of our sentiments, {duty and determination in the world’s | war in which we are engaged. His life’s progress from a log cabin to the White House, with nothing but a good and loving mother’s care and counsel to guide his steps through poverty and hardships, to reach the goal of President of the greatest republic on earth and he ac- claimed the saviour of his country, furnishes an object lesson and a stimulus to effort and ambition, which appeals with special force to every boy in our land. It seems fitting and appropriate, therefore, that the American school- boy should play an important part the celebration of Lincoln’s Birth- day. In the Masonic Homes’ observance of this day, set apart as a legal holi- day by a grateful country in honor of its martyred and immortal President, the boy guests now numbering thirty- six, bright, intelligent and lusty American boys, were given a promi- nent part in the celebration, the en- in tire first part of the observance being assigned to them, and very creditably did they do their part, bringing out in their recitations, many of the wise and historic say- ings of the martyred President, and delighting the audience with their | singing. Elwood Schrank presided for the boys. The following letter from Past Grand Master, Brother George B, Orlady, to the boys, was read: Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 11, 1918.; My ®ear Boys: Through Miss Saunder’s kindness, I have before me your photographs in the knitting act, and I assure you | of my appreciation of your efforts to be practical and useful in this | world’s work. I am heartily proud of the whole “bunch,” and want you to feel that your foster fathers in the state are all equally interested in your present and future welfare. You have a big load to carry, you must make good, to justify the con- fidence and faith that each and ev-| ery one of you will faithfully dis- care. You are now in a training school | for gentlemen as well as useful citi- zens and you are expected to carry the burden that we old men will soon lay down. { Your life will be made up stitch by stitch and you cannot afford to drop a single one, because in the life’s work you cannot unravel and start over. So play fair, strike hard, make | good. | Affectionately yours, George B. Orlady. | The program rendered by the boys | was as follows: “The Star Spangled | { Banner” and Pledge to the Flag, by | all the boys; “Lincoln’s Gettysburg | Address,” Milton Bower; Song, “So | Long Mother,” by the light aired | quartet, composed of four little boys, | Edgar A. Conway, Robert V. Wilson, | Charles W. Moleton and Stanley A. Kelly; Reading, “Lincoln Was Ready | to Fight,” Robert Patterson; Short | sayings of Lincoln, by Harry Orme- ton, Charles W. Moleton, Charles Bower, William Wilson, Stanley A. Kelly, Leon Conway, James Sea- sholtz, Kenneth Ilgen, Mark Barr, John Moleton, Ralph Brownin and Clifford Blackburn; Song, “America,” William Vanderslice; Reading, “Part Emancipation Proclamation,” Richard Campbell; Recitation, “Death of Lincoln,” Stanley Long- don; Reading, Murry Barr: Song, ‘America Here’s My Boy,” by all the boys; Recitation, part of “Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address,” Edward Browning; Song, ‘“‘America,” by Wil- liam and Joseph Vanderslice, Harry Otto, Elmer Bower and Warren Tourjee; Reading, ‘Emancipation Proclamation,” Elwood Schrank; Song, “Keep The Home Fires Burn- ing,” by all the boys. Illustrated Lecture The completion of the boys’ pro- gram was followed by an illustrated lecture on Lincoln by Brother Dallas | M. DeHuze D.D., the chaplain of the | illustrated lectures of travel.

The first half found the two teams battl- ing nip and tuck, but Mount Joy spurted in the final session, while their defense strengthened, and Ak- ron was let down with but two foul goals, They managed to slip in but three field goals during the entire game, and all these came in the open- ing period. The losers played a stiff article of ball, however, and their fighting spirit made things interesting all dur- ing the game. DeLong was the point getter for the winners, while Bruba- ker and Albright shared honors for the Akron five. The score: Mt. Joy H. Akron H. DeLong ..forward...... Spotts Myers ..forward. ...
