Truths That A Freemason Should Remember.
TRUTHS THAT A FREEMASON SHOULD REMEMBER .
That he once died for the Truth . That when he received physical light it was a witness to the Brethren that he had ( or ought to have ) received spiritual light . That Masonry is so far interwoven with religion as to lay us under obligations to pay that rational homage to God , which at once constitutes our duty and our happiness . That reasonableness , righteousness and Godliness are identical .
That a listening ear , a silent tongue , and a faithful heart are still a part of Masonry . That the JJJ's were dispatched to a place of darkness—it is only the faithful who are to enjoy light and glory . That the Master Mason represents a man under the doctrine of love , laved from the grave of iniquity and raised to the faith of salvation .
That the exhumation of the body of H . A . was not intended to prove a real historical fact . The celebrated artist is known to have lived at Tyre many years after the Temple was completed . Dalcho observes that the interpolated word " is not to be found in any language that was ever used . He says it is , in fact , not a word , but merely
a jumble of letters , forming a sound without meaning . If Dalcho had been a little more careful in his investigations he never would have been guilty of such a statement . The change of one letter would have given him the truth . The same is true in the return word which is omitted in Michigan , but correctly given in Canada .
That he was charged to never mention God s name but with that reverential awe which is due from a creature to his Creator . That he should do unto his neighbour as he would he should do unto him . That he should avoid all irregularity and intemperance , which may impair his faoulties or debase the dignity of his profession .
Masonic Aphorisms.
MASONIC APHORISMS .
The slave of one idea is a slave forever . To enjoy Freemasonry and to be profited by it one must be actively and successfully engaged in it . Freemasonry is a society that strives to reconcile all mankind and uphold the moral equality of men combined in the ties of brotherhood in a oheerful submission to authority .
A true Freemason is a free man ; free from passion , free from prejudice , free from selfishness , free from bigotry , free from fanaticism , and free from the blind spirit of intolerence . Corporeal slavery has been abolished in nearly every part of the civilised world , but mental slavery still exists . Men are mental slaves everywhereslaves to habit , slaves to custom and fashion , slaves to systems of early teaching , slaves to pre-conceived notions , slaves to the doctrines of hereditary " isms . " The teaching of Freemasonry removes all this from the minds of its faithful votary , and makes him intellectually free .
On the 15 th inst . the first volume of the cheap edition of " Cassell's Popular Educator " will be published . This new issue is unabridged , and contains all the coloured plates , maps , and text , & c , appearing in tbe more expensive editions previously published , whilst the work is kept revised to date as each issue passes through the press . It will be completed in eight volumes , which will be published at fortnightly intervals .
Mr . F . E . Hulme , F . L . S ., F . S . A ., has prepared forty new drawings of wild flowers for the forthcoming serial issue of " Familar Wild Flowers , " which is to be commenced in March . This new edition will contain in all 240 plates in colours .
Mr . R . Kearton ' s new work , " Wild Life at Home , " which was reprinted immediately after its publication at the end of last year , is again being reprinted , in consequence of the continuous demand ,

— : o : — ALEXANDRA PALACE . IT has been arranged to mark the closing year of the nineteenth century , which will also be the twenty-fifth anniversary of the opening of the Alexandra Palace , London , by holding therein a great exhibition of commerce , manufactures , inventions , and art . The vast and noble pile of buildings , covering as it does upwards of nine acres , and standing in beautiful wooded grounds over 200 acres in extent ,
affords for the holding of an Exhibition on a large scale facilities which it is scarcely necessary to dwell upon . In addition to numerous halls and galleries , suitable for the effective display of Exhibits' of all kinds , the buildings oomprise a great Central Hall capable of seating 15 , 000 people with ease , a Theatre seating 3 , 500 , and Concert Room seating 3 , 000 . Other detached Buildings and Pavilions are scattered about- the Grounds , the undulating slopes of which afford charming and extensive views of hill and dale .
The exhibition will be opened on 1 st April next , and will continue till the following October . Exhibits are invited from all parts of the world , and will be placed in friendly rivalry in their respective sections . Applications accepted in each section will be limited in number , in order to increase the variety of exhibits and the attractiveness of the Exhibition . Diplomas and Medals will be awarded on the recommendation of a Jury of such exhibitors in each section as may be deemed entitled thereto . The
exceptional opportunity the exhibition affords to all manufacturers , traders , and others desirous of advertising and extending the sale of their goods and bringing them under the notice of all classes and nations will be appreciated when it is mentioned that during the past season over 1 , 000 , 000 visitors passed the Palace turnstiles without the attraction of a great exhibition such as tbe one proposed , which will , no doubt , multiply by many times the normal number of visitors .
The Board of Trade having granted their Certificate under the Patents , Designs , and Trade Marks Acts , 1883 , inventors and designers will be able to exhibit and to compete for awards without prejudicing their patent rights or invalidating their right to registration . During the continuation of the Exhibition there will be a constant flow of attractions , both indoor and outdoor .
Criterion . —Mr . Charles Wyndham has at length come to a definite decision regarding future arrangements at this Theatre . Having benefited considerably in health by his holiday at Nice , he has now determined to prolong his stay there for some little time . In consequence negotiations have been concluded by whioh Messrs . Maltby and Spyers ' tenancy of the theatre is renewed , and tbe run of " My ' Soldier' Boy" will accordingly bo continued until the end of March , when the piece is to be sent on tour . Early in April Mr . Wyndham will be seen once more in his accustomed place .
