Masons’ New Temple Inspected by 5,000 Visitors Sunday Afternoon Impressive Dedication Cer- emony and Banquet Sat- urday Followed By Open House for Public. Almost 5,000 thronged to the new Mpsonic Temple - between 2 and 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon and were eacorted through the building. A thoroughly organized crew of 24 ‘\persons, consisting largely of De- Melay boys and Rainbow girls, thrilled with pride as each one es- corted a amall group of guests. ‘The visitors were formed in double line in the main lobby and were es- corted on a previously mapped route through the lounge, the Ili- brary, the ladies’ recreation room, up the front stairs, through the loung- ing rooms on the . second floor, through the offices, the organ bal- cony, into the main lodge room and through the tiler's room, down a flight of rear stairs to the social room and the small lodge room, through the social room to another flight of stairs and through the kitchen, amall dining room, large dining room and assembly hall and through the smoking rooms to the Russell street entrance. Dedication Banquet Masons of New Britain were en- Joined to make their new quarter million dollar temple a monument to #ervice in the community, and not simply a place for meetings, at the dedication ceremony and banquct Saturday evening. The ceremony began at 4 o'clock Baturday afternoon when a special communication of Harmony lodge was called for this purpose. At the same time Grand Master George R. Hturges of Woodbury called the grand lodge together in official ses- #ion in the smaller lodge room. The grand lodge officers then adjourned to the main lodge room where the ameeting was turned over fo the grand master by William G. Gibnoy, master of Harmony lodge. The actual dedication gceremony took place at a closed meeting and was ritualistic. At 6 o'clock a banquet was served In the mein dining room. The ban- quet was an elaborate affair with | fruit punch, roast Vermont turkey ,and ice cream forms frozen in the shape of a Masonic emblem, Lhe square and compass. The menu was under the direction of I. Fish, of the Bhuttle Mcadow club and several of his assistants. Mr. Fish was pres- ent as a guest of the Masonic or- ganizations and had general super- \ision over the preparation of the menu, The actual preparation of the food and the serving was done by memi- bers of the Eastern Star and Order | of Amaranth under the direction of E. J. Porter and H. E. Erwin. Pur- Chese of the food was in the hands of Willlam H. Cowlishaw. More than 400 members sat down to the dinner. Grand Master Compliments Masons The banquet program was opencd by John C. Loomis, chairman of the hoard of directors, who introduced George T. Kimball, toastmaster. Calling attention to the fact that Masonry selects its members with care, Grand Mastcr Sturges compli- mented the members upon their temple, which he said “is a wonder- ful home and houscs a hand picked group.” He called attention to the fact that the temple cost time, money | end sacrifice, and issued a warning @gainst any tendency to let down the bars which require that a cer- tain standard of membership be 1¢- Quired. He enjoined his hearers to BERT IBERSON THE MAN THAT NEVER SMILES beware of the temptation to raise funds by admitting to membership any man with the price, regardless of his character or standing in the community.” The finances of your temple should not rely on the initia- tion fee,” he said, “It is up to the lodges to admit none except those concerning whose integrity there can be no question and of whom you can say with hoaor “He is my brother.’ Nothing that is cheap and easy to obtain is considered worth while by those who obtain it. “There never was a day when there was a greater demand for the service of the type that Masonry gives than today. The way to ren- der it lies in our own conduct, the way we act toward our fellowmen. “Masonry is not an insurance policy, nor is it a fraternal benefit association. It holds out no promises or inducements to any man. If there jare any promises it is those who come knocking at our doors who make them. We agree to take care of our brothcrs, their widows ani orphans, bit we make no promises.” Dr. Davis’ Happiest Pastorate Here A typical witty after dinner speech of the kind for which he has achieved a reputation was deliv d by Rev. Dr. John L. Davis, foi pastor of Trinity Methodist church Dr. Davis left New Britain to take over the pastorate of Grace Meth- }odist church in‘New York. last conference he was transferred to {the Washington Square Methodist |chureh. Dr. Davis referred to the time he worked for several weeks in !a New Britain factory. "I earned more in the Corbin Screw corpora- tion in one week than I did in month in my first church, and 1 had !to go to school 15 years to learn to preach in that church,” be said. He said the happiest pastorate he ever had was in New Britain and public ly thanked the Herald, mentioning its publishers and a reporter name, for cooperation while he was in this city. What Masonry Teaches Judge Allyn 1. Brown of Ner- wich, judge of the superior court of |New London county, described Ma- sonry as “'A heautiful system of moral valuz in allegory, illustrated by symbols.” Judge Brown added that “Masonry teaches the brotherhood of God an.d the Fatherhood of Man. All it asks of one knocking at its do that he believes in Almighty God and that other men are his brothers. It does not attempt to dictate a man's religious view or his creed.” Pri {ciples of religious freedom, that man shall worship God as he sees fit; and the equality of opportunity before the law, were written into the con- stitution by Masons, he explained. He added that the temple should be something more than just a pla of beauty where the members held meetings, “It should always be a monument to the highest purposes of the craft, a lasting influence for rightcousness and good,” he addcd |in conclusion. The history of Masonry through lancient times to the present, was traced by C. F. Smith, Loomis Gets Key to Temple During the dedication ceremony the key to the temple was presented to John C. Loomis, chairman of the board of dircctors, by Sherwood H. Raymond, president. Mr. presented Mr. Raymond with a 32nd degree Masou's ring with a diamond setting, and Pardon C. Rickey wi‘h a traveling set on behalf of the Masons of the city. Tonight will mark the end of the three-day program when a ladies night will be observed with dancing, cards, entertainment and refresh- ments. “That the new temple is going to I'he a busy place is indicated by the fact that Building Superintendeut At the | " TRUGK ROLLS DOWN HILL, by | loomis ' NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, William A.
