THE EEEEMASONS ' QUARTERLY MAGAZINE AND REVIEW .
SEPTEMBER 30 , 1850 . THE PROGRESS OF FREEMASONRY .
MANY events are almost daily occurring throughout the United Kingdom , no less than in every other part of the world , in proof of the advancement of Freemasonry in public opinion , and of its beneficial effects wherever it is carried out according to the strict directions of its time-honoured
landmarks . Those of the Brethren , who are at the present time most active in its propagation , are men of intelligence and integrity ; they are also resolved to rouse the many from their supineness and indifference , who for too long a time have diverted the interests of the Order , either to purposes
of social intercourse , or lowered it to the level of a mere common benefit society . Already are these Brethren reaping the reward of their exertions . When they entered the Craft they were no less astonished than delighted to discover that the principles by which they became bound
were based upon the strictest code of upright dealing which has ever been laid down by any society—that the obligations to which they had submitted , " of their own free will and accord , " inculcated "the practice" and the furtherance " of every moral and social virtue "—and that , if they would be found faithful , they must put their shoulders to the wheel VOL .
