The Scottish Rite Masons of Polk
County, with their wives and invited
guests celebrated Maundy-Thursday
at their annual Mystio Banquet in
the main dining room of the Hotel
Gail last Thursday night. The
banquet began at 10 o'clock, the earlier
part of the evening having been spent
n a social way at the Masonio Hall.
Covers were laid for thirty guests.
The dining room was beautifully
arranged for the occasion, the table
being decorated with a wealth of
American Beauty roses and ferns.
The elaborate menu -and the hand
some decorations were planned by
Moss Walker, the well-known caterer,
ably assisted by Mrs. Ella J. Metzger,
Mrs. J. B. Thompson and Mrs. O. E.
Williams. The supper was a delight-
ully informal affair, the hours being
spent In feasting, inusio and social
conversation.
The ceremony of Maundy-Thursday
is held in accoidance with the teach-
ngs of the Ancient and Accepted
Scottish Rite as contained in the
Eighteenth Degree. The name of the
degree is Knight Rose Croix, meaning
Knight Rose Cross. The Chapter ot
Rose Croix is closed once a year, on
Maundy-Thursduy, and reopened on
Easter Sunday. The degree derives
its name from the principal symbols,
the rose resting upon the cross, which
symbols are hierosrlvpbically to be
read, "The Dawn of Eternal Life.
This degree symbolizes the final tri
umph of truth over falsehood, of light
over darkness, of good over evil, and
of life over death. The fraternal sup
per of Maundy-Thursday also teaches
the infinite beneficence of God, who
sends us seedtime and harvest, each
in its season, and makes His showers
to fall and His sun to shine alike up
on the evil and the good, bestowing
upon mankind unsolicited His
innumerable blessings and asking no
return.
