It enables us to endure any " pain , peril or danger ; " to bear the severe criticism of the adversary and all persecution for the cause of right , and to adhere to principles taught , under the most aggravating circumstances . It is the only

safeguard against any illegal attack " to extort secrets "whose divulging may violate principles of hononv , or expose others to injury , whioh have been solemnly intrusted to one ' s keeping ; the only safeguard when our religion is attacked and efforts are made to disenthrone God's love

from our hearts . " PRUDENCE . — " Prudence is wisdom applied to practice ; caution evinced in forethought . " —Webster . It foresees danger and lays plans to avoid it , considers many things relating to our conduct among men , teaches us how to

regulate life and make it conform to the dictates of conscience and the teachings of relig ion and society , moves cautiously , speaks carefully , accepts no unnecessary risks to life , person or character , judges wisely and " prudentially

determines on all things relative to our future happiuess . " Prudence saves many troubles . There is as much necessity of its exercise in the practical life of a Mason as a Christian ; indeed there scarcely passes a day of life in which we do not need its exercise . The education and home culture

of onr children ; the conversation and business relation with our neighbour ; the conduct of our lives in religion and Masonry , and the advocacy and teaching of their doctrines , the conversation as to the life and character of

onr brethren , all demand prudence . These are but few of the many instances of its need , not to mention its necessity regarding the moral and physical government of self . The immediate Masonic teaching is that we shonld carefully guard all important secrets committed to our care .

JUSTICE . —By justice we are enabled to understand and give to every man his just due . In commercial dealing we have no right to demand more than every measure and weight , nor in finance more than even interest . This is the measure of justice to both parties . Envy , prejudice , or

peculiar advantages in trade , will not in any way alter this law of justice , for there exists no right whereby enmity or former bad treatment will justify overstepping these bounds Every one is entitled to even justice in all things and no more . Whatever the receiver demands more than this is

fraud . Whatever the giver pays voluntarily is a gift . The principle holds good in all others matters , as to character , reputation and all the interests of human life . We are to give and demand " justice without distinction . " " This

virtue is not only consistent with Divine and human laws , but it is the very cement and support of civil society ; and as justice in a great measure constitutes the real good man , so shonld it be tbe invariable practice of every Mason never to deviate from the minutest principles thereof . "

We have now briefly touched all the main points of morality found in the Entered Apprentice degree , and we submit this honest presentation of these thoughts to all our readers and ask wherein can be found anything inconsistent with a

pure Christianity ? If they have been embodied in heathen religion , as charged , so long as they touch upon the highest plane of Christian morality , is there any wrong in following them under the teaching of Masonry ?—Voice of Masonry .

We hear that a Musical Entertainment of a high character is shortly to be given nightly in the Grand Hall of the Criterion , as an adjunct to the table d'Hote served there .

It may not be generally known that the town of Birmingham , though it is invariably associated with the manufacture of hardware , has long been so fortunate as to possess a Biscuit Manufactory , the goods supplied by which have been known for their excellence and variety . The

Warwickshire Biscuit Company , however , is animated bj a very praiseworthy ambition , and has resolved on hence forth extending its operations to other parts of the conntry At all events , it has recently set up a branch factory in London , and on the 15 th instant it inaugurated its new

venture with a luncheon , at the Company ' s Offices , Mansion House Chambers . There was a large muster present of people interested in the success of the experiment , the medical officers of health of the different metropolitan

districts being m great force . The meeting passed off admirably , and we can only hope that the future operations of this enterprising company will be in accordance with the hopes so generally expressed on behalf of the undertaking .
