The Lodge was well filled , over a hundred brethren being present . Having been introduced to the Lodge , the lecturer , after briefly setting forth fche reasons that had induced him fco become an earnest student of
Masonry , and to undertake a patient investigation into its origin , its meaning , and its spread , gave a comprehensive view of the rites of Osiris and Isis , and of thorites of Eleusis , showing a clear continuation of the " worship of death , " till it arrived at its culmination in the central Masonic legend , that of Hiram Abif . Bro . Finlayson laid special
stress on the Masonic Mosaic found in a Lodge in the rmna of Pompeii , which he had lately visited , arguing that from its date , afc the latest 79 A . ., and in all probability much earlier , we had a clear and definite proof of the antiquity of speculative Masonry , and a unique example of the chain by whioh ancient and modern Masonry
is connected .

possibility of their having been the channels of descent through which we have received fche legend of Hiram Abif . The lecturer then set forth the establishment of Modern Masonry , in 1717 , and its spread over the world , ending with an eloquent peroration in which he extolled the grandeur and beauty of the spirit which inspired our
brothers of Guild Masonry to erect the noble cathedrals that glorify fche land , and pointed oufc that tho symbols of Masonry were direct exponents of life and the giver of life ; while tho great central legend of Masonry taught the certainty of death , and gave further assurance to the irrepressible hope of immortality . The lecturer—who spoke ,
without notes , for an hour and a half—was listened to with rapt attention , aud on concluding was enthusiastically applauded . A vote of thanks , moved by Bro . J . T . Thorp P . P . S . G .
