Bro. Albert Pike's Remarks On Mackay's 25 Landmarks.

BRO . ALBERT PIKE'S REMARKS ON MACKAY'S 25 LANDMARKS .

" / ~ ANE of [ Mackey ' s ] lists , which is published as if eorn-U piled by authority , sets down twenty-five landmarks . I will give them one by one [ says Bro . Pike ] , with such remarks with regard to each as may occur to mo . " 1 . The modes of recognition . "How are 'the modes of recognition' a landmark ? IB it meant that our present modes of recognition wero used

in Ancient Craft Masonry ? That would not be true , because all the secrets of Masonry , anciently , woro thoso which woro mado known to the apprentices . " Is it meant that the modes of recognition are tho samo everywhere ? That is not true , because tho substitute word used in England is wholly another word than that used here , ancl thc same that has long been used in France , because the order of two others has been transposed siuco

1728 , because there are words used elsewhere that wc do not nso , and because some of the signs arc different in different countries . "Is it meant that the mode of recognition cannot bo changed ? Thoy have been changed , and they may , if it bo found necessary , bo changed again . And modes of recognition are not principles , much less essential and fundamental principles .

" 2 . The division of symbolic Masonry into degrees . "But Ancient Craffc Masonry had no ' degrees . ' Theso were made about 1723 , ancl forty years afterwards thero vero Lodges , under the Grand Lodge of England , that

natt never accepted tnem . \ jJhe above is new to we J . " 3 . The legend of tho Third Degree . " This was nofc introduced into Masonry until about 1723 , , ir . d those who believe that the legend is true , must believe

fciru two ICings and Hiram the artificer were Freemasons , and , therefore , that there was Freemasonry before the facts in tho legend had occurred . •' 4 . The government of the Fraternity by a presiding officer called Grand Master , who is elected from the body of the Craft .

' •' There is absolutely no evidence that there ever was a Grand Ma . siet' iu England , or a general assembly of Masons held there , before Snyer was elected , iu 1717 .

" The'body of tho Craffc'then meant the Apprenticed and Follows , for they constituted thc Lodge and General Assembly , and a Fellow Craffc could bo elected Grand Master . Tho bodv of tho Craffc was fcho hnilv nf F > l ! mi > . q

, of the Craft , but now a Fellow Craft has , in this country , no voice in ihe election of a Grand Master . " Ancl Masourv existed , aud there were LifWs in Fun-hmd

and Scotland , ioag before there were cither Grand Lodges or Grand Masters . " -3 . The prerogatives of Grand Master ^ fco presidejcjver
