ADDRESS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE ORANGE BROTHERHOOD OF SCOTLAND , BY MOST WORSHIPFUL GRAND MASTER BRO . CHALMERS I . PATON .

Wo have received a copy of this interesting document , and have great pleasure in submitting it in extenso to the notice of our ivudcrs . BiiKTiiKKX , —I think it probable you may expect that , after my installation as Grand Master of Scotland , I should say something to von concerning our duties as Members of the Orange Brotherhood ,

and this I now propose to do . I am deeply sensible of the high honour -which has been conferred on mn ; but I assure yon I am equally sensible of the great responsibility which attaches to tho oflico of Grand Master ; and allow me to say , brethren , that a similar responsibility ought to bo felt by yon all . Tho deeper onr sense of responsibility is , the greater will

be our zeal , —the more energetic our action ; and yet the more will wo bo inclined to thoughtful consideration of every step to bo taken—tho less disposed to hasty resolutions and rash precipitancy . We are responsible all of us to Him who lias given us tho powers that wo possess , tho light and knowledge that wo enjoy , to use these

powers to His glory , and to live in accordance with onr light and knowledge . Can wc give thanks , as I trust wo all do , for the blessings of education , and for that which is more excellent than all the sciences , the light of Divine Truth manifested in tho glorious gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ , tho knowledge of God and of tho way of Salvation , without feeling also a deep sense of responsibility

lying upon us , to adorn the Gospel in our whole walk and conversation , so that our light may shine before men , that they may be constrained to acknowledge the excellency of the light reflected by us , and may be induced to seek light for themselves from its only source ? Or can we be indifferent to the diffusion of the knowledge of the Gospel among those who aro ignorant of it , who sit in

darkness and the shadow of death ? Can wo give thanks , as wc have much reason to do , for the peace and good government of our native land , for the civil and religious liberty Avhich we enjoy , and for the excellency of the British Constitution , —that Protestant Constitution by which these blessings are secured to us , —without feeling the responsibility which lies upon us to do all iu our power for the maintenance of it in its integrity , that so tho peace and order and

civil and religious liberty , for the sake of Avhich onr forefathers struggled so nobly , and so nuvny of them died on the battlefield , at tho stake , and on the scaffold , may be preserved for ourselves to the

last day that wo live , and transmitted unimpared to succeeding generations ? AVe aro banded together for groat and holy objects , It is no political partnership which is the bond of our union . The principles which govern ns , tho sentiments which animate us , belong to a higher and nobler sphere . Political parties aro always fluctuating

and changing , their watchwords and battle-cries are soon forgotten ; but our principles are not changeable , and our course of action must ever bo the same , till complete victory crowns our efforts , till the great enemy of light and liberty is finally driven from the field , till the cry arises , " Babylon is fallen , is fallen ! " How animating the thought that tho victory is sure . Tho struggle may be Ion" - and

arduous ; reverses and discomfitures may await us ; but they will be only partial aud temporary . Believing tho Bible to be the AVord of God , we can entertain no doubt of the fulfilment of the prophecy which we find in it of the final overthrow and destruction of that hateful system , that hellish power , against which we are called to contend . This encouraging thought is not calculated to make ns snpine , bufc

to stir us up to greater earnestness of exertion and of prayer . The event will be as prophecy declares ; but it will be brought about b y means ; it will be the answer of prayer ; aye , not only of our prayers , and of the prayers of our fellow-Protestants of this generation , but of prayers long ago registered in heaven , tho prayers of thousands and tons of thousands of God ' s children who have gone to their

eternal rest , the prayers of a multitude of martyrs who have sealed their testimony with their blood . It will be the result of efforts wisely and prayerfully and perseveringly made . The struggle between Popery and Bible Christianity has been a long one , and it is not ended yet . It has been carried on by very different means on the one side aud on the other ; on the one by weapons not carnal , by tho proclamation of Gospel truth , by the

sword of the Spirit , -which is the Word of God ; and on the other by rack , and dungeon , and stake , and gibbet , and fire , and sword . It began as soon as Popery had attained a nearly complete development , or , in Scripture phrase , when " tho man of sin , " " the son of perdition , " " that wicked , " " was revealed , " " whom the Lord shall consume with the Spirit of His mouth , and shall destroy with the bri ghtness of His coming . " * I can but allude in the briefest possible manner to the persecutions of tho dark ages before the Reformation—
