Assuming that a 28 inch bicycle wheel was fitted to this bearing , it would travel ' seven feet with each revolution .

Duty Of The Masonic Editor.

DUTY OF THE MASONIC EDITOR .

ONE must nob think that because he edits a Masonic journal he must talk only of love , charity , and good fellowship , and by the high painting of these virtues correct the many shorbcomiDgs of our Brethren . Masons are human , just like other folks , and commib almost as many wrongs , and as the pastor warns his flock and holds up to bhem the burden of bheir wrong

doing , so also should we , as honest editors , never fail to speak plainly when we speak at all . If we have no convictions on bhe many happenings of the day , Masonically , and are just drifting along , if possible , with the popular tide , satisfied with a well written article on some of the many heavenly themes that Masonry teaches , then , indeed , have we mistaken our calling , and , like the negative man—that is , " everything to all men "—cannot hope

to accomplish much . These kind of articles are well enough in bheir way—they are the " ambrosia " to a well served meal of " roasting . " By " roasting " we mean such articles as cover the events of the day and cause every Brother who receives the publication to read ib carefully aud eagerly , to see " if I caught it this time , " as the good church members say after the minister has reprimanded them for a dereliction of duty . —Bun F .

What Profit?

WHAT PROFIT ?

DOBS Freemasonry pay ? What advantage has a man who is a Mason over his neighbour who is nob a member of tbe Fraternity ? These and other related questions are quite likely to be asked of one ' s self , even if they are not put into the form of words and expressed in private or public speech .

This is a practical age . It applies the test of profitableness to almost everything of human acquisition and use , and it raises a question of value in regard to man ' s present existence , asking whether life itself is worth having—whether it pays to maintain

the hard struggle of mortal being against the brials and troubles which must be encountered . There is a mighty army of disappointed and dejected people , quite ready to declare that there is no value in life—no good in anything . Out of the ranks of such as these come the recruits for madness and for suicide .

We pity the morbid ones , so sad and so reckless . We say to them that the gift of life is a precious boon—worth living bhrough and bhrough as God gives it and marks the way for its expression . Happy are they who get life rightly focussed , so as to estimate its true value . Then will they have respect for those faculties of

mind , heart and soul , which constitute man ' s highest endowmenb , and by exercise of which he not only makes his life useful , but derives for himself the utmosb of sbrength , sabisfacbion and peace . Those who belong to this class are disposed to make bhe mosb and best of present being , while they are always looking for a

brighter light to shine upon their way , and a more exceeding glory to be disclosed . These , rightly numbered among the workers , the leaders , the helpers in our human world , will make willing declaration , out of their own experience , that is does pay to oppose evil , to struggle for the right , to cultivate the noble attributes of being , and to recognise the claims of relabed life .

When men of this stamp pass within the lines of Freemasonry they are not likely to be disappointed . They will find enough in the Institution to justify the expenditure of thought , time and money requisite for active and intelligent membership in the Fraternity . They will testify that Freemasonry does pay ; thab ib has profib nob bo be reckoned in material values , bub in benefits which constitute an abiding property of life .

Not long since a worbhy Crafbsman , who has held membership in Lodge , Chapber and Commandery for almosb half a cenbury , said bo the present writer : " Freemasonry has blessed and enriched my life . I have made no money by my Masonic connections . I have never been obliged to ask for any aid on Masonic grounds , but I believe I am both a better and a happier man to-day because of my long and active identification with the

Institution . Most heartily we endorse the words of our venerable friend . We have found profib in Freemasonry . It has been of benefit to the writer by bringing him into pleasant relations with good men and brue , giving him a place in acommuniby of mutual interests , and opening the way for the establishment of enduring friendships . The observance of its rites and ceremonies has been suggestive and interesting , and to witness Masonic work well done is none the less pleasant now than ib was years ago .

Its profit has been realised by a study of its symbolism and its principles , and by the efforb to apply its truths to the formation of character and to the conduct of life . It has been an inspiration and a benefit in many ways , as the writer has sought a better acquaintance with the history of the Institution and the evolution of its great system of moral ideas and fraternal purposes . It has augmented the zest of life , deepened faith in the eternal verities ,
