What Is To Be Done ?

WHAT IS TO BE DONE ?

W HAT can be done to secure better attendance at Lodge meetings ? First , select intelligent and earnest Officers ; those in Avhom the brethren and community have confidence . They should also be " bright" in their duties . Few indeed will

long take to trouble to attend Lodge and listen to tho absurd butchering of a beautiful ceremony . The more intelligent a , man is , the less patience he has with ignorance at the column of ' Avisdom . " In this enlightened ago

Officers cannot be successful without reading ; to keep up with the Masonic news and other information . Hence , some of the many periodicals should be regularly read by

them . The more of the membership who take a Masonic paper , the more interest in things Masonic will be manifested in Lods'e meetings .

We venture to assert that no Lodge Avhose membership read such papers will lack in having attractive meetings . The amount of unpardonable ignorance among Officers is astonishing , and a better state of affairs cannot be expected until Ave Iiave a competent Grand Lecturer .

A comfortable , clean Lodge room is also essential . It may be plain , but the jewels , floor and furniture must be kept clean , the room warm , well ventilated and lighted . Every member should be encouraged to participate in

the proceedings , and not confine it to a tew , Avho are everlastingly assigned to tbe various duties . Yeb prosy speeches shonld not be permitted , and business should be conducted according to the best rules . If there is no

special business on hand , select some good readers to read a short extract from your Masonic paper , and discuss it ; then send the editor an account of your Avork , expectations ,

surroundings , and news occasionally . Male it , short . This will be interesting to your neighbourhood , as AVOII as to others , and will tend to build up your Lodge .

Vary the exercises by putting to each member , as a class in school , a question iu the lecturer . . Do not try to da too much all at once . Remember , short , spirited meetings ,

Avhich leave something to think aud talk about , arc the successful , enjoyable meetings . This for a year faithfully , and let us know the result .

The above , from the Musouic Home Journal , is so good that Ave repeat every word for our State of Texas . — Texas Masonic Journal .
