choice library of Masonic books , and a beautiful museum of Masonio ourioaities . The ceremony was performed by Colonel Shadwell II .

that firm has or has not formed the same opinion as ourselves , it ia very certain that ho now offers to compete with tho Stores on fair business grounds—that is , a small profit based on the system of cash purchases , to which he can add tho advantage of a long and tried experience , and a reputation for fair dealing . In business there should be no Freemasonry , but if wo can deal with our brethren on the broad principle of helping one another , we think we are fulfilling a law , perhaps unwritten but none the les 3 binding .
