Freemasonry In Italy.

realised our highest ideal , the triumph of Satan . Vilify , malign , calumniate these works of God , so that the people may gradually come to despise them , and help us to annihilate them . Down with the Religious Orders of men and women . Scatter them to the winds , and root them out from this failland of Italy . Religious education must be substituted by secular and

irreligious teaching . Civil marriage alone must be recognised by the State , and divorce made easy , so that the sanctity of the marriage tie may be destroyed . Here are sweeping reforms introduced by Signor Lemmi , the " Grand Orient , " to accomplish the great design of the Craft , the destruction of God ' s Kingdom upon earth , and the eradicating from the hearts of the

people of the love of God and His holy institutions . Such is the platform on which Freemasonry has taken its stand . And who does not see that it is a most effectual one for the carrying out of their " Ultima Thule , " their hellish plot to set up the Kingdom of Antichrist on this earth ? Bemember it was Lemmi himself that drew up this plan of campaign for the approval

of his followers . Afc Milan , and elsewhere , he promulgated this diabolical declaration of war against the Most High . Every proposition was received with acclamation by the assembled Brothers . They subscribed to them freely and willingly , and received them as the fundamental principles

of the Masonic body . Margiofcta , in his work , proves , conclusively , that Lemmi ' s programme of destruction was received with open arms by every Masonic Lodge throughout the world , without one single voice being raised against ifc .

Leaving aside the many documentary proofs brought forward by ex-Masonic writers to establish the truth of the charges I have brought against Freemasonry , do not facts that have come , and are daily coming under our eyes , justify us in asserting thafc Freemasonry is nothing more or less than an organised body of men , and women also , sworn to establish the Kingdom of

Satan on the ruins of that of Christ ? The taking of Rome was planned and carried out by Freemasonry . It is a matter of current history that the whole movement against the Papacy was hatched in the Masonio Lodges , and was carried to success by the hands of members of the Sect . The very general who commanded the troops that battered down the walls of Borne in 1870

was a Freemason , holding the thirty-third degree . He was promoted , over the heads of his fellow-Officers , to a generalship , so that he might lead his band of marauders to Borne . As soon as the Eternal City fell into the hands of the Masonic conspirators they seized the most important Government positions . They turned the House of Parliament into a Masonic Lodge , and from

Monteoitorio they hurled forth their edicts of confiscation and destruction against the religious bodies and charitable institutions . The professorial chairs in the Universities were given to good and tried Masons , well-learned in fche articles of the Masonic creed . We may well imagine the nature of the teaching imparted by these gentlemen to their students . To corrupt

and pollute the infantile mind they selected masters and mistresses of the real " true blue " type to administer , in copious drafts , the poisoned beverage of secular education to the children of Italy in their schools . The images of God and His saints were torn down from tho school walls and replaced by cheap daubs of Victor Emmanuel , of unholy memory , and his Masonic

satellites . In the name of liberty free licence was granted to all to indulge their vilest passions , and lead lives in keeping with the basest instincts of our poor , fallen nature . Italy was transformed in a short time from a grand Catholic nation into a living hell . This regrettable transition , this desertion of the " Standard of Christ for the flesh-pots of Egypt , " are

certainly to be numbered among the partial triumphs of the Kingdom of Satan , accomplished by his followers , the Freemasons . Bead the works of Margiotta , Miss Diana Vaughan , Leo Taxil and others , and if , after careful perusal of them , you are not convinced of the diabolical task that Freemasonry has set itself to complete , by every means , however base , wifchin its grasp , I fear for tho soundness of your reasoning ' capacity . — ¦ ' Irish Catholic .

Presentation At Plymouth.

PRESENTATION AT PLYMOUTH .

THE members of the Freemasons' Club , Princess Square , Plymouth , held their first smoking concert for the season on Friday , 9 th inst ., and utilised the occasion for making a presentation to Bro . Samuel Harvey , who for nearly eight years discharged the duties of Steward of the Club fco the great satisfaction of all the members . Bro . Harvey was recently compelled

to resign his position on account of the state of his health , and it was at once resolved to open a subscription with a view to presenting him with a testimonial in recognition of his valued services . The movement , initiated by the Brethren of Lodge Prudence , No . 1550 , was warmly taken up , and a large sum of money was speedily subscribed .

At the smoking concert last week Bro . J . It . Lord presided , and explained that the testimonial had taken the form of a handsomely framed illuminated address to Bro . Harvey , a Life-Governorshi p in the Devon Masonic Educational Fund for Mrs . Harvey ( this being done at the especial request of Bro . Harvey ) , and a purse of gold representing the balance of subscriptions . He added that Bro . Harvey's uniform courtesy , his strict integrity , his kindness of heart , and his successful management of the Club had endeared him to all the members , and there was nofc one amongst them who did not deeply regret that the Club had been deprived of his services

Bro . Harvey , in acknowledging tbe gifts , said when he looked at fche handsome illuminated address , couched in such eulogistic language , that they had just presented to him , it reminded liirn of a similar presentation they made-to his wile a year or two since , and both Mrs . Harvey and himself would ever gratefully remember the uniform kindness they had received during their connection with the Club . It was only considerations of health which compelled him to give up a position that had always been to him a source of pleasure and satisfaction . During the evening songs were sung and recitations given by several of fche Brethren . — " Western Morning News . "

NEW GRAND MASTER FOR SCOTLAND .

ON Tuesday , 29 th ult ., a special meeting of the Executive and Office-bearers of Grand Lodge was held in the Freemasons' Hall , Edinburgh , for the nomination of a Grand Master for the ensuing year . Sir Charles Dalrymple , Barfc ., M . P ., presided , and there were also present Provincial Grand Masters of Glasgow , Fife , Stirling , and Forfarshire , as well as Lord Salfcoun , from Aberdeen .

Sir Charles addressed the meeting , and returned his cordial thanks for fche many acts of kindness thafc he had received from the Craft generally in Scotland . He had now been three years Grand Master , and ifc-wwould be unfair , however kindly the Grand Lodge officials meant , for him again to accept nomination .

The officials generally expressed jgreat regret afc the decision of Sir Charles , but considering fche great services he had rendered , thought ifc would be unfair , and especially after his determination , to press him further . Accordingly , fche Right Hon . Lord Saltoun was nominated and unanimously elected Grand Master Mason of Scotland to succeed Sir Charles .

Lord Saltoun cordially thanked the executive for the honour they had conferred upon him , and hoped he would worthily follow in fche footsteps of his predecessors . The G . Secretary was directed to arrange for a deputation from Grand Lodge to support the Provincial Grand Lodge of

Glasgow city in laying fche foundafcion-sfcone of the new Glasgow Bridge , with Masonic honours , on Thursday , 8 fch insfc . It was understood that , by arrangement with the Provincial Grand Master , the Lord Provost of Glasgow would preside afc fche laying of the foundation-stone . — " Arbroath Herald . "
