Freemasonry And The Drink Traffic In Mississippi.
FREEMASONRY AND THE DRINK TRAFFIC IN MISSISSIPPI .
CAPTAIN W . DARLEY , of Gre- ^ nwioH , a fifty-fivo years' abstainer , and an old Past Master , writes that whilst adopting Masonry religions ' y , as being based on the purest principlts of piety and virtue , he deeply regrets that he cannot countenance ita connection with low hotels , from the effects of whioh ho has had the sorrow to follow so many excellent men to promataro grave * , and others ruined in circumstances from whioh tho excellent Charities are so inundated
that but a fraction of the sorrowful applicants can bo met , from whioh , he says , it will be soen that dignity and high character will be best maintained by Lodges being held iu privute halls . Having written complimenting tbo Grand Lodge of Mississippi on their discountenance of the drinking practices , Captain Darley has received a fraternal letter from Brother J . L . Power the Grand Secretary , from Jackson , Miss ., with the following abstract from the Grand Lodge minutes : —
" The Committee find no difficulty in reaching a unanimous agreement regarding the character and consequences which flow from unlimited and unregulated tmllio in intoxicating liquors drank upon the premises where they mo sold . It is not compatible with tbe teachings and dignified chartcterof the Masonio Croft , which teaches a pure system of morals * founded upon the great light of Masonry .
It neither elevates the man who engages in it nor he who frequents the plaof . Tho dram shop is a d'tnon which has wrought untold misery to the human race . It I » s filled more graves than war and pestilence combined . It has drugged down into hell mora than any other sin . It has cursed and destroyed races and nations . Ic fills onr poorhouses , asylums , and prisons to repletion . It adds to the
burdens of the poor and rich alike , tares too giiovous * o tn borne . It consumes more money than the combined expenses of all tbe governments on earth . It converts men into brutes and fiends , and destroys the likeness whioh their Maker impressed upon them when He created them . Its trail is one long never-ending track of blood , crime , and misery . Tho tears it causes would fill the Mississippi ,
the groans and shrieks of agony of tho widows and orphans it makes if combined in one terrible diapason , would drown tbe thunders of heaven itself—the ang * U would recoil before ifc and hell grow darker . " We cannot , nor can mortal pen , draw even fche outlines of the picture . Not until the books shall be opened at tbe last dread day will the awful record of the dramshop be known . Surely we venture
nothing when wo assort that an occupation whioh encourages drunkenness , debauchery , profanity , obsceni ' y , and gambling is not compatible with Frsemasonry . ' * Rule : It shall be an offence against Masonry for any Mason nofc now so engaged to hereafter engage in , or for any Mason now engaged in , to continue in the business of selling intoxicating liquors to bo used as a beverage , after the first day of January nexfc , and the penalty therefore shall be expulsion . "
Captain Darley adds : "Not forgotfnl that His Royal Hi ghness tho Prince of Wales has wisely set his face against any publio-houso on his estate , we shall be proud to hr-arthat among the thousands of Temperance brethren who range under ita banner , there will not be wanting men of honour who will correspond and combine to uphold the most ancient and honourable Order in exiatenoe , fres it from its present concomitants of evil , save many from ruin , and confer an untold blessing on the Craft— Alliance News .
For building a Masonic club at Exmouth the tender of Mr . H . H . Hooper , of Exmouth , in £ 1 , 200 , was accepted . The other tenders were : —A . Hayman , - £ 1 , 367 ; F . Grace , £ 1 , 390 ; and W . H . Perry , £ 1 , 450 .
If you ' ve anything to say , True and needed , yea or nay , Saij it ! If you ' ve anything to give That another soul may live , Give it 1
If you ' ve any call to make Where you could some comfort take , Make it ! If you've any heart to cheer That has lost a loved one dear , Cheer it ! —Exchange ,
Some persons are of tho opinion that Masonry shields its members who commit crime . This is a great error . To offend the moral and civil law is to offend tbe Masonic law . All good Masons obey both the civil and moral law , and thoso who violate either cease to be Masons in fact , nUhoogh thpy may be so in name . No person has ever been made a member of the Fraternity without being taught
that it is his duty to obsy these laws , and to violate either is to imperil his membership . A violator of either brings upon himself the penalties of Masonic lnw , sven if he should escape the meshes of the laws of bis country . Masonry never yet shielded a criminal , when he had been proven to bo such in tho eyes of his brethren . —Toronto Freemason .
