It is with unming led feelings of thankfulness that we are called upon to acknowledge the many additional proofs of support whicli have reached us from the Scottish provinces . The recommendation of Grand Lodge has already effected much for the interest of this periodical ; and ( to use the language of our esteemed correspondents , ) for the advantage of Masonry . At the request of our friends we repeat the minute of the Grancl Lodge .
" Resolved unanimously , That this Grand Lodge , highly appreciating ^ the very great benefits which Masonry derives from the ' Freemasons ' Quarterly Review , ' as being the sole organ of conveying Masonic information to the Craft at large , do recommend to every Lodge holding of the Grancl Lodge of Scotland to possess themselves of the same at each quarterly publication . "That the above resolution be communicated to the Lodges in the ensuing circular of the G rand Lodge . "
By Brother Nerval , A . M ., Worshipful Chaplain ofthe Lodge , Saint Peter ' s , Montrose . I sing the wonders of the Craft , Its origin divine , And all the virtues that conspire To make the Brethren shine . The first Grand Master reared the Globe ,
He spread the boundless Sky ; He spoke—the Sun , the Moon arose , Ancl all the Worlds on high . The children ' s hands erect the domes Where sceptred kings reside ; 'Tis by their art the hallowed fane Uprears its towering pride .
Fraternal love cements each heart , And joins each willing hand ; AVhen Queen and country call , they rise , The pillars of the land . To all their Brethren of mankind Their Charity is shoxvn ; From misery ' s face it wipe ' s the tear , It soothe ' s affliction ' s moan .
ODE .
Their magic sign transforms fierce foes Into the warmest friends ; It bursts the dungeon ' s dismal gloom , The captive ' s fetters rends . Let , then , the dreaming sophist rail , Let ignorance deride ; The Brothers of the Craft are aye Their country ' s prop and pride .
