The Masonry Of The Grand Orient Of France.

THE MASONRY OF THE GRAND ORIENT OF FRANCE .

We have the printed Eitnal of the work and Ceremonies of tho Blue Decrees of this one EuropetiQ A . lly of the Gorgas Oorneuni-mi , adopted in 1887 , and furnished to its Lodges , to bo used to tho exclusion of all other work .

For the gratification of those who are of the obedience of Mr . Gor-1 Kas we print below with exactness the " obligations " of tho three I Blue Degrees from that Ritual . j

DEGREE OF APPRENTICE . The Master : Brother Master of Ceremonies , conduct the candidate to the E-ist , that ho may there make his solemn promise . ¦ — When the candidate is halted , standing near tho pi esirlontial ' Platform .

Tho Master : j Monsieur , place the rii . ht hand on this Square nnd on this book ! whioh contains the Mason ' s Law . I ¦ 1 am about to read to you the formula of your obligation . You will | afterwards say : I promise it . j

The Masonry Of The Grand Orient Of France.

" Upon this Square , emblem of rectitude and ri ^ ht , and upon this book of the law of the Free--Masons , I promise to labour with zeal and constancy at the work of Fr ^ o-Masonry . <; [ promise t > soek for and spread the truth . '' I oromis - to practise a . sisfc-uioe toward , the weak , justice

towards all , devotion towards my country and my family , digiity towards myself . " I promise to lovo my brethren , to observe faithfully the Masonic law and to reve il nothing of th it which shall be confided to me under

the seal of secrosy . Do you promise it , Monsieur ? — After the Candidate has said " I promise it , " In the the name of universal Free-Masony , I record your promise .

DEGREE OF FE _ . __ OW-CRA . FT . After the Candidate has learned that the Blazin ? Star is " the Star of Free Thought , liberated from prejudices and superstitions , " and that the latter G , in the centre of it , "is the monogram of Gravitation , Geometry , Generation , Genius and Gnosis , " the Master

says : Bro . Master of Ceremonies , cause the candidate to come up to ' the East , to take his obligation . —Blow of the mallet

—Standing :, and at order , my Brethren . —When the Candidate is halted , standing , near the presidential platform , Bro . W ., place the ritrht hand upon this Level and this Trowel .

£ am about to road to you the formula of your obligation . You will say afterwards : I promise it . "Upon this Level , emblem of social equality , and upon this Trowel , emblem of perfecc work , I promise to conform myself to the teachings which have just been givon to me .

" I promise , moreover , not to reveal to any one the ceremonies of the Dogroo of Fellow-Craft . " Do yon promise it ? —After the Candidate has said " I promise it , " I record your promise .

DEGREE OF MASTER . Venerable Brother Master of the Ceremonies , cause the Candidate to come up to the Dehbir , to take his obligation .

—Blow of the mallet Standing , and at order , Venerable Masters , my Brethren ! —When the Candidate is near the presidential platform ,

At tha moment when you are about to bind yourself by a solemn promise , it is my duty to exhort yon , I do exhort , you , to make here the sacrifice of every as ' ntim . nt of animosity that yon may retain against any ono of your Brethren . Be pleased now to extend the right hand over the branch of

. I am about to read to you the formula of your obligation . You will afterwards s-iy : I promise it . " Upon tho acacia , emblem of the new birth and renewal of life , I oromise to instruct tho UVllow-Cr if ns and Apprentices to labour for

the intellectual and moral emancipation of Elummity . " I promise , moreover , not to reveal to any one the ceremonies of the Degree of Master . " Do you promise it ? —After the Candidate has said " I promise ifc , " I record your promise .

—The Master takes his sword with the left hand—holds ifc extended ov . r the heal of the Candidate , while with the right hand ho holds his mallet , —and pronounces the following formula :

In the name and under the auspicas of fche Grand Orient of France , in virtue of the piwers which have boon conferred upon me , I receive and constitute you Mister , fco enjoy the plenitude of the Masonic rights .

It need only be added that the candidate is not required to profess a belief in the existence of a God : that prayer forms no park of the o-sremoni' } .. of eith-u- degree : that God or fche Dr . ity is not any .

where mentioned in the Ri _ nal : that there is no altar : thafc no Bible is used , fche book of M Hemic Li . v taking ibs plaie : and tbib it is no objection to a candidate that he is an openly avowed atheist . —Bulletin S . G . United States S . J .

The meeting of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Cornwall , which is to assemble in the Wesley Schools , Camborne , on Thursday , the __ oV , l instant , is likely fco be of a very

interesting and sricees- 'tai character . The arrangements are in fcho hands of the Mount , El geurabe Lodge ( No , 1544 ) , which was e _ . fcablish . ed in 187-5 . This Lodge has been very prosperous , and has its own Masonic Hall and apartments , now entirel y free from debt .

Y s PILLS . —Sleeplessness , flatulency , acidity , nausea , and all dyspeptic indie itions may lie spec i ! y relieved in- these t ' a no is Pills , of whi li largo quantities aro sliipn d to all parts ot * the world . The constantly inerea ^ ing demand for llolloway's medicine proves its power over diseas ., and i ' -s estimation by tho uiiblie . In weakne-i . of tho stomach , in diseases of

the liver , and in d sorde- 's of the system cau-ed by cold or a slii- 'gish eirculaiioti , n ' medicine is so ciUc-iet an , no re , 0 'lv's > r . a . itd . as he _ -a [ 'ills , which ire altogether incapable of d imr mischief .
