* It is much to be regretted that these Lectures are not more frequently hoard in the various Lodges . It would be very jeneficial , not only to the newly initiated , but to old Masons , very many of whom tell us they have never heard the dillerent Lectures there

delivered . Other brethren would have opportunities of becoming icquainted with these beautiful and sublime rituals , upon which the principles of our Order are founded , and they would also acquire a better knowledge of the duties required of them , in their social CQlfjtious wifcli their follows . ~ - £ DfTOR FBEBHASOM ' CHKO }« , J 3 ,
