Masons Should Be Honest.
MASONS SHOULD BE HONEST .
AT trie last annual meeting of the Grand Lodge of Washington , Grand Master Ziegler , in his address , presented a case in which a brother charged with wronging a brother Mason was acquitted by his Lodge because
there was no proof that the complainant , who lived in another State , was a Mason . Had this fact been shown there was indisputable evidence of un-Masonic conduct as charged , and subsequently a certificate of membership was
received from the complainant . The Grand Lodge remanded the case for a new trial . But what we desire especially to present and approve in connection with this case is the following sentiments expressed by the Grand
Master , which have the true Masonic ring in tnem : In my judgment , the time has come for this Grand Lodge to declare , in unmistakable terms , how far a Mason
may act in confidence with a brother Mason and still be within the bounds of propriety ; how far he may betray the confidence of a brother and still be considered honest and doing right under the section of law referred to , and how near he may hew to the line of dishonesty , without
snapping the cords of honour and duty to a brother . We have too much of this kind of sharp practice : a wilful disregard of our commercial obligations which some are pleased to term sharp business practice . I tell you , my brethren ,
there is no business in this way of doing . True business is and must be conducted by the strictest rules of integrity , and without a strict observance of these rules business is a failure . I tell you we have too much of this , and Masonry
must protect itself , and it must say to its votaries : " You must lead an honest and upright life , deal honourably with all men , and not permit them to go about to ensnare the unwary , betray their confidence and defraud them of their lawful due . "
We cannot afford to let the world point the finger of scorn at our members , and say " that fellow is a Mason , he has defrauded and cheated me , and the law of his Institution upholds him in it . "—Masonic Advocate .
Freemasonry.
FREEMASONRY .
[ The following beautiful effusion is from the pen of Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton , an earnest Mason , and the classical author of " Pompeii" and " Zanoni . " ] The world may rail at Masonry , And scoff the squaro and line ;
We'll follow with complacency The Master ' s great design . And though our sisters frown , and though We ' re by our mothers chided , Could they our works and heart but know We would not be derided !
And though the kings of earth unite Our temple to assail , While armed with truth , and love , and light , O ' er them we shall prevail .
A cloud may veil the face of clay , But nature smiles at one That should adventure , bold essay To quench the glorious sun !
A king can make a gartered knight , And breathe away another ; But he , with all his skill and might , Can never make a brother .
The ceremony of installation will be rehearsed at the Fidelity Lodge of Instruction , No . 3 , by the W . M . of the parent Lodge and his Officers , on Wednesday , 2 nd February , at 8 p . m ., after which the annual election of Officers will take place .
The installation meeting of the Prudent Brethren Lodge , No . 145 , was held on Tuesday . The worthy Treasurer , Bro . T . Bull , installed the Master , Bro . W . F . Masters , P . M . 1339 . Report next week .
This power alone , thou Mystic Art , Freemasonry , is thine ! The power to tame the savage heart With brotherly love divine .
