The Children's Home Finder
with this number beginB its fifth
year and its purpose is to con-
tinue—not only to report the
facts of the workings of The
Children's Home Society; but
to encourage every moral, right
educational, and Christian prin-
ciple and fact, that touches the
individual, the family, the church
and state, and as certainly,
oppose, and expose every evil
that endangers the individual,
the home, the church or the
state.
Our space will not allow ex-
tended discussions of issues.
But what is said will be plainly
said, and because we see the
matter as stated, and we shall
not speak uncertainly, but plain-
ly against the things that would
undermine the home, and so
weaken the character and
strength and purity of the in-
dividual, the family, the church
and the nation.
Subscribe for The Home Find-
er, 50 cents a year. You are in-
terested in the poor children it
stands for. Read it, and you
will become more interested in
the great and good cause it rep-
represents.
Being Diverted.
The recent or January 1905
gathering of the Scottish Kite
Masons in Guthrie, Oklahoma,
after their work in the day of
the 18th, of said month, as stat-
ed in the State Capital of the
morning of the 19th of same
month; gave "entertainment" to
the "ladies who had accompanied
their husbands to Guthrie to
accept the hospitality of the
order," and after a certain pro-
gram of "several hours of music
and reading," it is stated that
the hall of the Temple was
cleared, and the visitors and
their hosts danced the remainder
of the evening."
If the foregoing be a correct
account of the procedure of the
evening, and especially the latter
part of the evening—and it must
have been very late-then the
question arises, is not Masonry
being directed from its original
purposes and practices, and be-
come one of the lower orders of
"evening entertainments" that
no Christian Mason can endorse?
Nor can the wife of any Mason
who herself is a Christian wo-
man, commend by her presence
at such "dancing bees," tho
they be held in the Temple of
the mysterious Masonic fra-
ternity.
Let it be understood that this
is not written against Masonry,
but against its diversion, and is
a protest against the implication
that such is Masonry, and that
Christian Masons stand for puch
"entertainments," in the Tem-
ple that they would condemn in
the Church.
Masonry in its moral, mutual,
character and brotherly spirit
and its protection of the virtuous
of its women, wives and daugh-
ters if its men, is praise worthy
and is highly commendable.
And it claims to have maintained
this simplicity of strength
through the centuries from the
building of Solomon's Temple
down to the present time.
But as we have understood it,
it is no part of Masonry to be-
come a "host" and give "enter-
tainments" in the name of
Masonry, or under its patronage
and in its Temples; that conflicts
with the sacred and solemn doc-
trine, rites and ceremonies of its
true character.
True Masonry does not conflict
with duty to God or country.

Box of Clothes.
A box of good clothes was
recently received from Mrs. N.
F. Irish of Wagoner, I. T.; and
they came in good time for
immediate use. Mr. and Mrs.
Irish are taking a Life Member-
ship in the Society. The clothes
are seperate from that.
