Review Of Literature.

should withdraw , or halve my subscription to the Schools . Oh , no ! rather let me deprive myself of some trifling luxury and personal indulgence in the year , than be guilty of so flagrant an affront to the truly Fraternal spirit of Masonry . The accumulation of a number of such sacrifices , from small selfish gratifications , would richly content the Treasurer of the Asylum , without infringing upon the claims of the other Charities . The world is composed of atoms , wisely combined by the skill of the Grand Architect , to act for its destined purposes . Drops make up the shower which refreshes and fertilises the earth . The greatest rivers , our own majestic Thames , flow from the smallest rills . "

As a moral reproof to the threatenings that are conveyed in other quarters , and which breathe any thing but peace and good-will , the following words of our author stand nobly contrasted : —¦ " Charity to the poor is , therefore , a duty to the performance of which every man is bound . How much greater the obligation of that duty from a Mason to his Brother in Poverty ancl Decay ! " Lastly . —The example of our Lord Jesus Christ gives an additional

force to these principles of nature and reason . The example of Christ is a mixture of precept and instruction . He having been sent to teach men the true way of salvation , His example is to be considered as a command to us to imitate Him , as well as a rule of direction , shewing us how we ought to walk . Wherefore , consider well the nature of that example of Brotherly kindness and Charity which Christ has set before us . He loved mankind in a perfect degree . His love to us had not the

least grain of alloy . It was pure and invincible . It led Him to suffer the most grievous things on our account , and to die for us . No instances of ingratitude could cool the ardor of His affection . No injurious treatment could stop the current of His love . To the most amiable tenderness and sensibility of heart , He joined the most active and the most

laborious exertions , in healing those who had bodily diseases , in doing general good , in preaching the Gospel to the poor and the unlearned , and in forming in men that temper and that course of life , which is conducive to their present happiness , and introductory to their final salvation . For the afflicted , the suffering , and the unhappy—for the distresses of mankind He ever shed tears of sympathy . " But who is He tbat speaks to us in this example to ' Love one

another , ' and ' to do good to one another ? ' God , Himself , is speaking to us in the Person of His Son , our Lord Jesus Christ . Can there be a higher authority than this ? Can any obligation to the observance of this duty be conceived of a more solemn nature than that which is constituted by a voice from above , speaking to us in a written mandate , which co-operates with natural sentiment , and with the dictates of our own reasonand with the benignant rules of our Ancient

Ordercom-, , manding us to love one another ? "What object more in unison with the spirit of that heavenly Mandate than the Asylum , whose cause I am pleading ? What authority will be regarded by us , if we contemn those Laws which Heaven has revealed , and antiquity confirmed to us , for the purpose of increasing our reverence for the duty of Brotherly Love , and of showing us more distinctly what it consists in ?"
