ed a call to become pastor of the

la^b
the Free and Accepted Masons of
that oity. The Renovo Daily
Record comments aa follows ou
the discourse:
Renovo Lodge F. & A. M. No.
495 attended the evening service
in tbe Presbyterian church Sunday where the pastor Rev. W. R.
.Memmert, B. D., preached the
annual sermon. He chose phis
theme "Playing the Man" based
on tbe text I Cor.%6:18. "Quit
you like msn, be strong." In a
very plain and forceful way he
pointed out their duty as men,
but more particularly as Masons
to themselves, their fellowmen
and their God.
He clearly demonstrated that
the teachings ot the fraternity
made this incumbent upon tbem.
He reminded tbem ot the fact
that character not wealth or
position made the man—the
Mason. That since tbe fraternity
taught the necessity ot every
conceivable virtue they ought to
find expression lo tbe highest
degree in every member of the
fraternity.
He said, "Every Mason should
consider it bis duty to live so tbat
the whole world will know that
Masonry stands for that whicb is
ths noblest and best' It should
uot be regarded merely as one ot
the many organizations, but tbe
chief among all fraternities.
He urged them to practice oat
side the lodge the things that are
taught within. It this is done, we
may count on receiving the
commendation of the Great Architect when our earth task is completed.
Many favorable comments
were made on tbe sermon.
A quartette composed of
Messrs. Leisher,Shuey, Gampbell
and H. Bowman rendered two
selections. "I Have a Friend" and
"Quit You Like Men." Mr. Camp
bell rendered a solo, "Open tbe
Gates ot the Temple."
All who attended expressed
themselves as well pleased witb
tba service.

Secretary of Agriculture, C. G.
Jordao, and Jobn L. Passmore,
in charge ot doe law enforcement
activities, asserted that the Stste
will not tolerate delay among
owners in securing 1980 license
for dogs.
The law requires tbst every
dog must be licensed not later
tban Jaunary 15, they explain.
Dog owners wbo disregard tbe
law are subject to a fine of $5 to
$100 or a jail sentence of 80 days.
The County Treasury is tbe
only official in a Couuty who can
issue dog license. Dog owners can
secure licenses directly trom tbe
County Treasurer's office or make
application to a local Justice of
the Peace, or Magistrate, who will
submit the properly executed
application with the fee to the
County treasurer. The licenses
will tbeo be mailed.
The Pennsylvania Department
of Agriculture does not want to
prosecute any one, but tbe law
will be vigorously enforced.
Negligent dog owners must be
prosecuted or innocent people
will suffer.
Rigid enforcement of the dog
law protects tbe livestock industry
and wild life, especially young
rabbits and birds, from tbe ravages
of dogs; it protects human life
trom the menace of rabies; it
reduces the annoyance and damage caused by dogs rnamiug over
lawns and flowers.
The publio must continue to
have this protection from tbe
uncontrolled dogs.
