Members Hear Fine Sermon by the Rev. Cbas. H. Bohner. ' A very enjoyable service was held ou Sunday evening to the First Pre#, byterlau Church, when a large number of the members and friends of Ocean City !<odge, No. 171, Free end AceepteiiSfaeons, listened to an to•tructlve and eloquent aermon by the pastor, the Rev. Charlea H. Bohner. The members of the lodge attended • In a body and were given seat* of 1 honor In the center of the' church audi- ' tnrlum. The pa I pit wa* beautifully draped wttb the national color* and ' special mualc waa rendered by th* r The m-mber- of tbe fraternity wer# . profu-e to their expressions of appre- - elation at the close of tbe service and declared It to be one of the most plea» > ant aDd delightful services that th* lodge bad as yet attended. ' Mr. Bohner, who I* himself a mem- ' ber of the cfaft, waa able to speak from - personal knowledge of the order end. . gave a very toterestlug and able dier cuaaton of the history, doctrine# end - practices of the organization. Hla theme waa "A Mason's Confession," and his text, Psalm 188; 1: "Behold, - how good end how pleeaant tt le for brethren to dwell together in oalty.'V After extending a cordial greeting to . the member* aud friends of the freternlty. Mr. Hohner spoke In pgrt: , "It will not be my purpose to pro1 uounce an encomium opou Free Masonry. It does not need It. Its history I- before us, and baa beau before tbe 1 world for centuries. Neither do I wleh to apeak to defense of It* principle* nor , to answer frivolooa objections. Th* k Free Maann never descend* to a plana I. so low a* to cater to th* gaping enrtosI Ity of Idle and luqulsltlv* minds. He- » li fore becoming a Mason. I was prgjuII. diced against all secret societies, having rafqeed Invitation* to Join several. • Hut soma Christian friends, whom I 1, highly esteem, being enthusiastic i Maaona, 1 became Interested to th* order, Joined It, and have never etnee j had occasion to regret doing ao. 1- "My oonnectlon with Masonry haa I and an opportunity to reach and baip . E. them In spiritual thluga, to a way that •. I could not have don* In my ordinary v church work. Not that Maaonty la ' above the Chu fob, for .1 place no or1- ganlxatlon above th* Church of Jeous Christ, but' aside from the cluirch, among tbe quiet aud positive force* ' that make for righteousness, I place In high hnaor the Ancient and Illustrious I Order of Free and Accepted Mason*. "From my knowledge of the organl- ■- ration I am bound to aay that no man II can become a Mason and not become a better men unless he la dead to Ibe

in oat daltcate and most sacred feeling* of life. "Masonry doe* not drew men away * Bfrom Christ lenity, or dseetv* tbem Into the Idea that they do not need God or the Church. No atheist can ever

become a Mason. The vary Brat step to becoming a Mason la that of a worshipping being. The Entered Apprentice first listens to an earnest prayer hla own behalf and unlem be profeaae* full confidence and place* hie to God, heean proceed no farther. "The first object that meets a Xasoa-e the momept'efler he enter* th* Is an, open Bible. And while shall remalu a Just and lawlfelly constituted lodge upon th* face of the earth there will be found upon lu altar open Bible, and loving beeru and strong hands to cling to H and protect It aa heaven'* richest legacy to man. Instead of being a robalttuu for reilg101), Masonry Is lb* humble follower ofreligion, reminding tba Master Maaou of tbe living faUb, which never douhta, of that hope that never falls, and of 1 hit charity that jrUl radial* Its streams of living light through all Um rolling ages of eternity."
