Compliments Of The Season.

: © . 0 m . pIimea » ts © f t & s Se ©§ 0 H .

TTVEFORE our next issue is in the hands of our .- " —* subscribers 18 97 will have come to an end , and 1898 will have been fairly started upon . We therefore gladly avail ourselves of the opportunity of tendering the

season ' s greetings , and ask each one of our readers to accept from us the Compliments of the Season , with the very best wishes for their health and happiness in the New Year .

There are some who argue we are unnecessarily severe in our attacks on " Masonic" Ohurch Services , but we are still of opinion they are a great mistake—very unlikely to do any good to the Craft , and opening the way to evils and abuses it is most desirable to avoid . As an instance we may point to the much

abused service at St . Paul ' s Cathedral , which called forth lengthy accounts of Freemasonry in many of tbe papers of the day . One of the leading illustrated weeklies took the opportunity ! to reproduce some old French plates showing what purported to be different ceremonies of the Craft ; and although there was nothing

in them which would enable an outsider to make his way into a Lodge ,, or acquaint him with the secrets of Masonry , there was sufficient to make their reproduction in so public a manner a matter of regret to members of the Order . Of course we shall be told this is a far removed " side issue , ' but without the Church parade the reproductions would not have been called for .
