So anxious liao Masons ever been
thtt tlioho wlio come into our irater
uity Bhould do t < solely from attach-
ment to tliu institution itself and
wlioly unintltieneert by merceiiaiy or
other unworthy motives that iti has
ever been a cardinal principlu with us
not to urgo our friends to join us or
to engago in controversy with our
opponents nnd assailants Without
these instrumcutnlities which lnvo
been most powqrful aids in thu tip
bmlding nnd perpetuating of other
institutions Masonry has grown am
constantly acquired a stronger and
stronger hold on tho aflections of tho
better portion of our race Hut
whilo we will not under any circum-
stances ichnrt to these modes if ad-

of popular fat or Our object nnd

dication of approval vthoieby our fa-
cilities fordoing good are incioascil

Wo recognize the power of your
influence on the hucicbs of any enter-
prise having for its objtet the ameli
oration of tho condition ot mankind
vtVitli you Masonry needs noudvoenlo
but its own simple record written iu
deeds of lot e and poice Timq v H
when your sex looKei with Mupicira
oveu with enmity on ouriutuUitiii
becauso you nfio not admittablo to
its inysleikS liut fortunately for

you are not iuvitcd are merely tho

found the plumb the lev el tho square

AVe rcsert to the Lodge never for

They aro enjoyed out of tho Lodge
only when not ut labor in public
and not iu secret now like saYaR < s-
and heathens and how unworthy of
noble and chit alrous men would it
bo lo invito yon to be partakers ot
our toil with us to be hewers ot
wood and drawers of water and to
heir the heat and burden ot the day 1
Wo impart to you enough of our
mysteries to enable you any viheio
and tinder any circumstances to
prove your relationship to tho in >
stttution and identify yourselves if
needs he as dependents ou its char
ity and kind offices lu this the
grand and paramount objeots of tho
institution uro met and fully satisfied
As I am unable to gather from tho
freih fields of eloquence clioicoilow
era with which to weave garlands for
your brows or id lead you through
the amaranthine bowers of oratory
that usually coxstiluto tho perora
tion of uddresses on occasions like
tliu priscut lhave ait somo com-
pensation for this deficiency given

of impressing upon you my high ap-
preciation ot your preseuce nt tho
samo tiinu indulging tho anticipAtion
that the consideration of tho themo
chosen moio ef peuially lor tlio bene-

Tho firnt sounds thai greet tho

as ho gropes his way in darkness to

tho first objects that break upon his
enraptured vision it hen the Bcalcs fall

here but at every btep and in e ery
advance until ho reaches the highest
round and realizes its sublimest con-
ception is he confronted by symbol

tho gieatcst of tiq great lights in Ma
unury pours on these symbols its
flood ot light the mind is carlied
from tho contemplation of its ans
tiquity to its higher claim of a divine
origin nnd foiced to admit if not ol
divino origiu that at least il was it-
self founded and each degree added
add every symbol introduced by men
versed in divino roVfrl ition anil guided
by a strong nud orduring luith in
God What n beautiful instructive
and inspiring theme hqu is the syuis
holism of Masonry If as these sym-
bols arc evelnpltlii d aud explained tb
the candidate passing through tho
peroral degrees ot Masonry wo could
leaiu to foiget the ceremony and
ourselves catch tho lessons and im-
bibe thu rcficshint stieams of knowl-
edge lowing from them what
strength and vigor of Masonic man-
hood would we attain to aud exhibit
litimo and the ciicumstances would
permit I feel that f could not do niy
brethren a greater or Hotter jiervico
than to invito theln to tho contem-
plation of many of theso symbols with
too important lessons they tench but
I must content myself with tho con-
sideration of but one and that one
suggested by the oecasioil that calls
us together On the Masonic
Tracing I oaid we see v poiiu within
a circle supplanted by two vortical
parallel lines This symbol in somo
of our ancient lectures is thns illus-
trated Them is represented in
cveiy legular and well gpverned
Lodge u ccruiti point within a circle
Tho point icpiesun < s an individual
biothor whilo the tnclo p6rtrays the
boundary lino of his duty lo Gpd and
Man beyond whioliheis nottii Buffer
his passions prejudices or intefoststo
betray him Tl isciioleiscinboidtred
by two perpendicular parallel lines
representing St John thu Haptist nnd
St J6hn tho Evangelist ho were
perfect pirallels in Christianity as
well as Masoi ry and uport jJioAortex
rests thu Holy IJiblo which points out
tho whole duty of man In going
round this riui v a necessarily touch
upon thesfl two lines as well as upon
the sacred voluoe and while a Ma-
son keeps himsell thus circumscribed
it is impossible that ho Bhould mate
ri illy err As further illustration ot
this symbol the lectures still used in
somo of the old provincial Lodges
were thus i From tho building of
thu first temple at Jei nsalein to Ihe
Bsbylqnish ottptivity tho Lodges of
Frionasons were dedicated td King
Solomon f 10111 thence to tho jiflvent
of ChristVtliey weredcdicatcd to Zcr
ubabcl who built tho second tem-
ple nnd fioni that time to tho final
destruction of tho Uraplo by Titus
thpy wore dedicated to St John tho
Haptist Hut owing to tho losses
which tveiii sustained by thnt memo-
rable occui rtfnco Freemasonry de-
clined many Lodges wero broken up
and tho bretlnen were ntraid o meet
wilhoiiMti acknowledged head At
a secret meeting of the craft holden
in tho uity ot lienjamin this circum-
stance was mucin equated and they
demited seven brethren to solicit St
John tho Evangelist who was at that
timu Bishop ol KphtStis to accept
the office ol itand Master Ho re-
plied to the deputation that though
well stricken in years hating been tn
his youth initiated into Masonry he
would acqmesco in their request
thus completing by his learning what
the other St Johu liad begun by his
eal and thus drew what Freema-
sons cala lino paiallel over sinco
which the Lodges in ull Christian
commies have been dedicated to the
two St Johns Today is thu festi-
val of St John thu Evangelist
on which tho Lodges all over
the country hold stated meetingsfor
tho installation of their bflicers for the
ensuing masonic year and whilo con-
gratulating yon my brethren on tho
recurrenco ot this anniversary lut mo
invite your attention to thu symbol
iu which thu patron saint of this day
is so conspicuous and important a
tiguie Although there aro other and
somo what di tie rent illustrations ot
