GLEANINGS .

— : o : — MASONIC AIMS . —Aim nofc so much afc high office in the Graft as to be a true Freemason in thine heart . It ia not necessary that we all should take office , nor is it possible for us all to do so ; bufc ifc is of essential importance that every Freemason should prove by his

actions thafc he has nofc crept iuto the Graft under false pretences , but that he is really anxious to live its holy precepts , nofc only for his own sake , bat also in order to make himself more useful to his fellow-creatures . A selfish Freemason is a perjured man , in whom I for one could p lace no confidence , whatever signs or pass-words he may be able fco give . —Bro . Markham Ttvedddl .

WHAT IS MASONRY . —Masonry haa no secrets that can injure the World . All its secrets , as an Order , tend fco promote the universal good . It is said that an Emperor once built a palace of glass , and placed it on rising ground , so that his subjects might see him iu his

pdvato life . Masonry does not require this outward display . It takes the simplest of the heart ' s expressions of secret faith ; this ia the secret of Masonic strength . The Masonic structure can never die , based as it is on Faith , Hope , and Charity . —New Zealand Mail .

In the Masonic Lodge all are alike , and meet on one common level . Charity is one of the great principles of the Masonio Order . To be ft Sood Mason a man must be charitable . A man cannot be a good Mason if he is not loyal to hia country and its flag .

Gleanings.

The sentence of expulsion is the highest known fco our lawaj it falls with severity upon tho subject ; ofit . It renders him from tho dato of fche sentence Masonically dead . Between him and the whole

Fraternity there ia a great aud impassable gulf . Great care should be taken to see thafc tho offence is proportionate to fche punishmentfco mete out our judgments tempered with mercy , yet squared by the unerring principle of justice .

The Masonic Bodies in Naples have formed themselves into a powerful Committee to consider the best ; means to further cremation . According fco Le Monde Maqonnique , the Grand Orient of France has 361 Bodies in its allowance , namely 313 Symbolic Lodges , 35 Chapters , and 13 Councils , which are thus distributed , namely ,

67 in tbe Orient of Paris , 11 in Beaulieu , 229 in tho Departments , 13 in Algeria , 9 in the Colonies of France , and 32 in countries outside France and the French possessions . The same authority g ives the receipts for tho year ended the 28 fch of February 1886 as close npon 139 , 857 francs , and fche expenses as 139 , 8 ii 6 francs .

If a man is nofc a better man for being a Mason , then he is nofc a good Mason . The foundation stone of Freemasonry , and consequently its strength , is a belief in the existence of a Supremo Being . Masonry is the only society in the world where men of . all nation 3 and all religions can worship around ono common altar .

The Grand Master of Washington , District of Columbia , decided thafc if a brother is an habitual gambler for money he can be dealt with for unmasonic conduct .

A TEMPLE FOR JERSEY CITY . —The committee of brethren appointed in Jersey City , New Jersey , to secure a site for and erect a Masonio Temple , contemplate erecting a three-story building at a cost ; of about £ 40 , 000 .

A MASONIO MUMMY . —Freemasons will be glad fco hear of fche recent discovery in Egypt ; , by Professor Maspero , of a tomb quite untouched by the defiling and pilfering Arabs , in which a square , a level , compasses , and other implements have been found alongside a mummy .

The dead man was an architect , builder , and carver of inscriptions ; having control of one-quarter of the cemetery at Thebea . The tomb was very comfortably furnished with linen chests , painted jars , statuettes , and other articles of uso or luxury , and contained two sledges for the transport of mummies and sarcophagi .

IOWA MASONIC LIBRARY . —The Bower library , that cost 12 , 000 dols ., was purchased for 4 , 000 dols ., and the library is now worth 20 , 000 dols ., while the new library building cost 32 , 000 dols . The Musons iu Iowa thus have * the most valuable Masonic library in the world .

In the Oregon Eoport of Correspondence we find tho following under the head of Maine : — " Some sensible remarks are made regarding Masonic balls , Masonic emblems on business cards and peddlers' carts , & c . Of all frauds , those Masons who will put the Masonio emblems on their bnsiness cards and signs are the terror of fche Craffc

afc large . Such should be treated as frauds , tried as frauds , and disciplined as frauds . In days gone by we attended Masonic balls . They were conducted properly , and were very enjoyable . But times have

changed—and so has our taste on this subject changed with them . If Masons desire to dance and have a ball for themselves and families , it can be done without any display whatever of regalia . The Grand Lodge forbids the use of their Lodge name in connection with balls . "
