ROSICRUCIAN SOCIETY .
The following is tlio text of tho Annual Address , delivered by the Chief Adept , Fmtre T . B . Whytehead , before the members of the York College , at their meeting at Freemasons' Hall , St . Saviour-gate , York , on Saturday , ( ho 20 th ult . : —
Fratres , —On tho occasion of addressing you on the sixth anniversary of the constitution of this College , and of the formation of this county of Yorkshire into a Province , I must first congratulate you as members of the llosicrncian Order upon the prosperity which has
followed ns in tho north of England , and upon the strength and vitality which have attended onr efforts to throw about Freemasonry a flavour of something more than thoso qualities which usually per-Viide tho eternal Graff . Most of us who arc members of the Order
have had considerable experience of Freemasonry ; the bulk of tho members of this College havo passed through the chairs of Craft Lodges , and many of us have threaded out * way through other branches of tho art , so that we may trul y bo said to be a body of tried Masons , whose only object , 1 trust , in meeting as Rosicrucians
I-I to advance the study of the history of Masonry aud arohojology , to promote in every possible way the intelligent consideration of our symbolism , to bring as far ns possible the light of truth to bear upon our legends , and to make a daily progress in Masonic knowledge . Thoce are , indeed , tho objects for which our Society was formed . It
grew—onr own revived modern version—oufc of tho desire of a few promin ? nt Masouic students and workers to / ind something more iu Masonry than mere ritualism and moral teaching , for excellent ai are these and perfect as they are under our own teaching , yet in these progressive days we require something more than this . In the
earlier days of Freemasonry , as we understand it , thero was com . paratively little learning . Men were satisfied with small things , and doubtless onr ceremonies were regarded as of exceeding great value simply as a medium of instruction . And I should be the last t * . suggest thafc even now thoy have decreased in value . The world is
probably no better than it was in the days of Anderson and Sesa . guliers , and men stand in need of morality jnst as much at the end of tho nineteenth century as they did at the beginning of the eighteenth century . Still , I think most thoughtful Masons will agree with me that thero is great scope for more than the bare repetition of
a regular code of leaching , no matter how excellent it may bo . And about a society , such ns that of Freemasonry , there is such abundance of material for investigation , and such a wide platform for the explorations of brethren of literary tendencies , thafc I do not think a society whoso objects aro the elucidation of tho traditions and obscure
origin of fcho ancient brotherhood needs any apologist . Ifc has been , I am aware , alleged against us thafc by the assumptiou of the title of llosicrucians we have attempted to draw around us a glamour of mystery wbich does not of right belong to us , aud thafc the llosicni . ciau Society is simply another a' tempt to add to tho already
somewhat inordinate array of Masonic degrees . I . do not think that any such accusation can fairly stand good . Attempts had been made from time to i inic to form a Masouic Archaiological Society , but without any permanent succos ** , and ifc seemed to tho minds of some earnest bretliioi ' , more than one of whom is , alas ! numbered with tho groat
major . 'ty , that a better prospect , cf btabilit y might be secured if u little circle could bo drawn together by something more powerful than au annual subscription , and that a sort of hitter bond might bo formed whereby individuals might be linked together by an invisible chain which should have more powerful bands than those of any
ordinary society . Then camo the question of tho form that this F-ateniifca ' -in-Fiafcei'iiitato should take , and , as usual in Masonic mind '* , a legend ' . rhetorical event was sought for which could furnish
