Diary For The Week.

NOT PBEPARED . —There are many excellent persons in every com manifcy who ought nob fco be encouraged fco take npon themselves Masonio relations and responsibilities . They may be good citizens , upright and honourable men , and yefc have such tendencies of thought and character as would manifestly unfit them for fche fellowship and

work of the Craffc . We have friends , highly esteemed , of irreproachable character and humano impulses , who are yefc so constifcufced that fchey would not in our opinion much enjoy , or profit by , membership in the Masonic Fraternity . They would not admire

its symbolism , or forms , and some of its methods of procedure would hardly bo approved by their prosaic and practical natures . We should give no encouragement to snob a class to become Masons . — Freemasona' Repository .

MASONIC CHABITIT . —A Masonio organisation does nob fulfil the highest purpose of its establishment unless it renders some actual service of benevolence . Ifc should do a subjective work among its members ia the way of intellectual and moral teaching , and by social ministries , for whioh it ought to make dne provision ; but

beyond this line of expression ifc must go if ifc is to justify its existence according to what are fche distinctive objects of the institntion Ifc must practise a noble and far reaching charity . Ifc must help fco supply fche needs of fche sick and poor who are within its reaoh and have some claim to its benefactions . Ifc mnst do a humane work in the community , no less than that whioh is technical and of a ceremonial and business character . —Freemasons' Expository .
