Palmer of tho First Baptist church
of Portland preached a sermon last
Sunday evening In which he endeav
ored to remove some of tho preju
dice which he said existed against the
order. All of this prejudice Is based
on a misunuersianaing or mo prin
ciples of tho lodge, he said:
"But, we who know tho great and
good principles of that order, for I
am a member and, therefore, know,
could surprise the world by tholr
