Masonry's Grandeur And Goodness.

Masonry . Among structures which manifest human greatness it may not be a magnificent temple , a miracle of man's skill , but it is a temple which reveals the heart , the essenco of brotherhood . It stands on its stone foundation a testimony to tho faith of him who , in the past , dropped

tho small Fe < d into tho furrow as a promise that the little one should become a thousand ; of the course of Masonry through tho sunshine and shadow of prosperity and persecution ; of its calm , persistent toil ; of its ideal of charity breaking into fruition ; of the fact that charity

should not be in word only , but in deed and truth ; of tho reality that it should bo a shelter from the pitiless rains of suffering for the worthy brothor , shelterod under tho large protection of Masonic love . The Home , as it represents a beautiful principle in

Masonry , is a constant admonition to its members to be faithful to every vow resting on their conscience . It is a prophetic intimation for the Fraternity to pass on its way , offering for others' good the higher things intrusted to it as a body ; a call not to forget that its ministry -is a

ministry to the suffering , and an inspiration to the moral nature to send forth all those things which shall be a benefaction to mankind . Fulfilling , such a ministry , its presence in society will be as lofty as it will be munificent . It will not be as the dead Pharaohs in their colossal

house of stone , with all their withered royalties about them , but a more kingly beiug moving among men , throwing from its hand in royal bounty charities and beauty , as the richer orchads shower the land with the tender and tinted leaves , when the buds aro roundiug themselvos into the prophecy of the perfect fruit .

The Home is the proclamation that while the past is sacred to Masonry , the present is its working time . It is the assurance that its golden age lies just on the horizon , the heig hts of which it can reach , and by its moral achievements and kindly deeds make grandly near . The

old will not be cast aside , but transmuted into the growth , as it were , of the grapes of Masonic thinking and acting , as the autumn leaves in the vineyards of France , contribute to the white and purple clusters of the branches . By the past , Masonry will pursue its course , guided by its wise

and masterly teaching , in the great march of the nations on the globe , to a more useful present and a nobler future . The Bplendid heritage which has come down to it will be a potent , stimulating influence to a larger , broader , more generous endeavour for the person and the State . The

sharper questions , the movements of the day , the problems th ' at sweep with unabated force against the law and religion of the land , the deformities of social living and the unsightly things that lie on tho surface of society , like the growths on the Saragossa sea , and hinder largely the best

efforts for reform , will be taken up and turned into clearer currents and rightly defined progress , and be changed into real and enduring benefits . For Masonry will recognise that this is an age for humanity ; for a more intelligent labour , for a wider diffusion of that culture which

beautifies ; for a more exultant inspiration , for the better employment of those energies which must toil either for good or evil ; for a fellowship which shall not only bind men together , but be a propelling force to achieve and

make them men among men , with all tho royalties of their manhood unstained , as the Creator proposed them to be in His wise and infinite design . To the brotherhood it will be true ! that :

Not in vain the dislanoe beckons , forward , forward let ns range , Let the great world spin for ever down the ringing grooves of change . Through the shadows of the globe we swoop into the yonnger day ; Better fifty years of Europe than a oyole of Cuthny . " ( To be continued ) .
