FREEMASONRY » COMMUNISM. The parade of Freemasons at the Cathedral on Sunday last revealed the fact that many of our prominent loent citizens are members of this wide-spread organisation. The Bishop and other clergy wore the distinctive badges of the order. Those who listened to, or read, the special sermon must have been in terested by the general tenor of it. To those who know nothing of the aims and objects of Freemasonry there must be something intriguing in the carefully guarded secrety which surrounds it.
