Sunday night was Masonic night in Dunn. The Scottish Rite Club had charge of the services at the First Baptist church, and C.B. Newcombe of Wilmington, District Deputy Grand Master, delivered the address of the evening. A masonic orchestra, a masonic choir, and a fine talk by a leading mason, was heard by an interested audience and congregation at the Baptist church.
It was something fine.
Mr. Newcombe spoke on the immortality of the soul. He went through no materialistic proof or causes, and did not even attempt to lay down any scientific reasoning, to pave the way for showing that the soul is immortal and never dies. He simply built up a logical, philosophic ideal, based on faith and faith and hope, and he showed, beyond a doubt, that “If a man dies, he shall live again.”
The masons are to be congratulated for their special services, which were so greatly enjoyed. They are to be congratulating for securing Mr. Newcombe to deliver the splendid appeal to Christian hearts here Sunday night. They are to be congratulated, above all, for having as a brother, a member of C.B. Newcombe, who showed by his talk that as a mason and as a man he is giving the world something worth while.
