With The Compliments Of The Season.
WITH THE COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON .
OUR inauguratory number will hardly bo complete , certainly not as complete as we are anxious to make it , if wo do not convey to onr readers , in as genial language as we can command , those cordial wishes which are deemed appropriate at this period of the year . We need not give
lengthy utterance to these wishes , for no Englishman , at this season , and assuredly no Mason at any season , ever experiences aught but the kindliest good feeling towards his fellow men . Indeed , the aim of Freemasonry is a sufficient guarantee that Masons , as regards both each
other and the rest of the world , will enter heart and soul into the spirit of Christmas enjoyment . Nor will they content themselves with mere personal pleasure . Actuated by that fraternal regard , Avhich has ever animated the whole Craft , both as a body and individually , they will take
every care that those of their brethren who may , unhappily , be somewhat ill-circumstanced , shall not lack—at least , not wholly lack—the wherewith to cheer themselves in their present , and let us hope , their brief period of adversity . Charity—we use the word in its truest
sensesuggests this duty . Masonic chanty will fulfil it . And the season we have recently entered upon has come upon us right genially , as in days of yore . For many a year past the jolly , rubicund visage of old Father Christmas has seemed a little less jovial than it was .
Englishmen had almost begun to think he might perhaps have become less of the glorious good fellow than he is known to have been in the clays of our sires and
graudsires . But this year , at least , he has appeared in his true colours ; his snow-white locks glistening again , just as he is p ictured to us in old writings , and especially in tho Christmas stories of the late Charles Dickens . We are
not ouly in the present enjoyment of a rare prosperity ; there is abundance of beef and pudding , wine and ale , wherewith to regale ourselves . There are parties and pantomimes , and all else , in fact , that may make the young reioice , and the old recall the pleasant memories of their
early days . We have , too , the snow and ice of the genuine old-fashioned winter , and this is no light matter for congratulation . True—and with sorrow we admit itice and snow entail much suffering among the sick and weakly , and the very young . Yet , somehow , the keenness
of winter developes in us warmer feelings of regard for all men , and , moreover , a severe frost is usually regarded as the certain forerunner of a genial spring and a glorious summer . Thus , whether we rush forth by dav into the
keen but exhilarating air , or seek warmth at eventide by the blazing fireside , wo have equal cause for congratulation . We not only rejoice in a present pleasure : we look forward likewise to , let us hope , the brighter year that is to come .
Unfortunately , we repeat m somewhat varied form , all is not pleasure now , or at any time . Too many a poor shelterless fellow creature succumbs to this more trying temperature . This Christmas , too , has been singularly distinguished above other Christmases by the number and severity of
the catastrophes which have befallen so many English families . On Christmas morning , the papers contained accounts of no less than three terrible accidents , by which considerably more than one hundred families were overwhelmed with grief . A few days later brought us news of ono of the most terrible disasters which ever befell
English or other vessel . The " Cospatrick " emigrant ship , we were told , was burnt , and of nearly 500 persons three only are known to have been rescued , and will return to tell the fearful tale of suffering . Yet a few days later , and more accidents were recorded ; and naturally all these come
upon us with tenfold force at a time when we ai"e anticipating little else than merriment and jollity . We will not further dwell on this sadlier aspect of Christmas , save to make it subserve our purpose of urging on all classes of men , that a true enjoyment of Christmas pleasure is scarcely possible if they heed nofc the wqatg
