mother , and ruled by the law of non-interference in regard to all other organisations and associations , its operations are quiet and peaceful , and its history therefore is one of " peace on earth and good will to man . " It makes no litigations , creates no discords , sheds no blood , makes no widows , and knows nothing of orphanage , except in its sympathies and charities .
It never proscribes , because it has no faith in proscription as a theory of reform or of human government . Its liberality of sentiment is the measure of its charities , and wherever it fixes its empire ifc is only to stay whilo it has its supporters , and where it is not wanted it retires with becoming grace and without a single murmur . Men and organisations of different kinds have for ages been waging
war against its very existenco without even knowing the alphabet of its genius or the power of its name . What it is , they have often tried to divine without a single success , and all their efforts to destroy it have been equally abortive . Its very being has continued to be a mystery , while its solemn tread through the nations has astonished the whole world of Propagandists of every faith and order .
It has no permanent investment fund to live on , and it sends out no missionaries to make proselytes or to extend its dominions . It claims no territory of earth as tho boundary of its rule , and it asks no patronage at the hands of any Church or State . Its very existence indeed is sui generis , while its conservative system of operations never interferes with either the rights or privileges of any other organisation ,
whether civil , religious or fraternal . It ignores dogmatisms , laughs at all persecutions , and pities tbe brainless folly of all enemies , as it well knows that tbe wildest storms may howl around it , and tho fiercest thunders roll above it , without even harming a fibre of its mantle or staining the integrity of its organic character , and therefore it makes no defence even when tho
mightiest come against it . Its own Lodge rooms is its favourite retreat , for there it can go in safety when the world turns against it . Governments have been its foes , and the oldest Church on earth to this day is its enemy , aud the old mother of all is imitated by a number of her spawns in the same sort of bigoted vindictiveness . Still the institution of Masonry lives and flourishes in spite of them all .
What they are Masonry does not desiro to be , for if she once yielded to their spirit the genius of Masonry would hie from the earth like an insulted angel , and we should hear of it no more for ever . Masonic power , like its genius , lives in the atmosphere of a charitable intelligence . It cannot breathe anywhere else , for it is a child of the higher humanities , and drinks only of pure crystal
streams . Its temples , lit up by the lights of intelligence , humanity and charity , have kindled a sanctified glory over the world and given to the benevolent of all classes examples which they cannot ignore without destroying their own prestige and inflicting upon themselves the pitiful contempt of the intelligent , the sympathetic and the noble . So mote it be . —II ., in Masonic Advocate .
