Tho Bishop of Bathurst , recently preaching at a Masonio service , said he believed muoh good waa done by thesn aervioea ; not merely were Masons largely benefited , bnt he believed the congregation generally received important teachings . He said persona who were ignorant of the manner in which such services were conducted might perhaps cavil at them , but . ha never yet had met with a person who not realise their

had been present and taken a part in them who did value . Masonry was gradually becoming a great power in this country , and no wonder that it was so , because it taught auoh grand truths , and upheld so strongly , as it always had done , the belief in a Supreme Being—the ever living God . He went on to speak of those princip les which were inculcated in every Lodge , brotherly love ,

relief , and truth , and showed how prudence , temperance , fortitude , and justice were insisted npon . Each Mason was bound to act upon the square . Speaking then of Christianity , he showed how Christiana had a still more sacred deposit of truth to maintain , namely , the faith of the blessed Gospel . He pointed out how Masonry was to a great extent an exclusive society , which Christianity was not , if it

truly recognised the teaching of its Great Head . Masons were loyal , too , to their Queen and Country . Christians must be ever loyal to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords . Masonry had to do with thia life , and a grand brotherhood it was . Rightly carried out , it helped men to live just and upright lives ; bus Christianity was essential , not merely to this life , but to that whioh was beyond the grave . — Church Bells .
