Philadelphia, June 26. . . [2 paragraphs] Tuesday last
being the grand anniversary or feast of St. John the
Baptist, the brethren of that most ancient and worshipful
society, of the free and accepted Masons, went in a regular
procession from the lodge-room, to attend divine service at
Christ Church, in this city. . . [4 paragraphs, ending with]
psalms were sung suitable to the occasion.
After divine service was over, the procession returned in
the same order to the lodge room to dinner; the musical
bells belonging to the church, and a band of musick before
them, at the same time playing the tune of the Enter'd
Apprentice's Song. The whole ceremony was conducted with
the utmost decorum and solemnity, and, as we hear, afforded
great satisfaction to the inhabitants in general. . .
