The Sanatorium At Weston-Super Mare. Masonic Ceremonial.

the Archbishop was most moderate and temperate in his demeanour , neither was it for any political opposition on his part , for he had never interfered at all , but it was from diabolical hatred of that Great Architect of the Universe of whom he was the minister . ( Loud applause . ) On the other

hand , they had the clergy of their own land having their labours recognised by their parishioners kindly and cordially , and received as they had received them with the kindest welcome . ( Applause . ) The Rev . W . Hunt , in reply to loud calls , also

responded in an able speech . The President , in proposing " The Army , Navy , and Reserve forces , " complimented them on the personal gallantry of our military , and pointed out that we had learnt a terrible lesson by the recent war that no personal gallantry was of service

without military organisation . ( Hear , hear . ) Adverting to the costliness of panics , his lordship said the true remedy lay in making the amplest preparation , which was at once the most effective and the most economical . ( Applause . ) He thought with regard to the volunteers that they desired nothing better

than to be subjected to a rigid drill and discipline . ( Applause . ) General Munbee and Capts . Townsend , Whitting , and Bramble responded . The Rev . W . R . Clark , Vicar of Taunton , in an eloquent and earnest speech , proposed " The

Members of the Houses of Parliament . " ( Cheers . ) Alluding to the increase of pauperism and its effect upon the character of a population , he said in the face ofthe miseries of the poor of this country he did not wish to speak despairingly , but the condition of the poor , and the care bestowed upon them ,

would , he thought , determine in a great measure the future history of England . Major Allen , - 1 / . _ ° ., who was very warmly received , responded , and in the course of his remarks he touched upon the question of the Army , and trusted that the legislation of the House of Commons

would not impair that efficiency which had never failed us in time of need . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . R . A . Kinglake , in eulogistic terms , proposed thc toast of the " Right Hon . the Earl of Carnarvon and Officers of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Somerset . " ( Cheers . )

The President , in responding , in the course of a speech of considerable length , adverted to the brilliant scene of that day , and expressed . a hope that the Sanatorium was destined to do a great work . His lordship dwelt upon the special features of the undertaking , its freedom from death , and

speaking ofthe munificent donations , he congratulated the Committee and Dr . Swcte upon the conditions upon which they proceeded , not to advance a step which would involve debt . In conclusion , he proposed " Success to thc Sanatorium . " ( Loud cheers . )

Dr . Swcte , who has done so much towards promoting the success of the undertaking , briefly responded . The Rev . D . A . Doudney , in responding on behalf of Mr . W . T . Hill , one ofthe absent donors , sincerely thanked them for their kind reference to

Mr . Hill ' s munificent donation of ^ 2000 . Other toasts were proposed , and further contributions were given in the room in aid of thc building fund , thc collection at the stone having amounted to , £ 31 10 s . 6 d . His lordship gave a donation of , £ 20 . —Bristol Daily Post .

kind of intoxicating liquors . Ever live ( misfortunes excepted ) within your income . When you retire to bed think over what you have been doing all thc day . Make no haste to be rich if you would prosper . Small and steady gains give competency with a tranquil mind . Never play at any game of

chance . Avoid temptation through fear that you may not withstand it . Earn money before you spend it . Never run in debt unless you see a way to get out again . Never borrow if you canpossibly avoid it . Do not put off till to-morrow that which

should be done to-day . Do not marry until you are sure you can support a wife respectably . Never speak ill of any one . Be just before you arc generous . Save while you arc young . Trust to Providence , and fear not . — -The Evergreen .

— ' 6 BETTER . Better a little labour Than over-rest ; Better a pleasant neighbour Than tedious guest . Better the funeral shroud ,

With hope behind it . Than light within the cloud That silver lined it . . Better aspire to-day Than dream to-morrow ; Climb through the upward way

Be vined with sorrow . Better press toward the goal God destined for us , Though shadows walk the whole Long way before us .

Better a sea of light , When morn hath crowned it , Than all the stars of night , Its spells around it . Better a life sublime ,

Unshnned in story , Than one gew-gawed by time , And bruit with glory . Better the mind to see , And soul to fashion Than senses that but be

Art-slaves to passion . Better one touch of God At Nature ' s heart , Than all that vain men plod In realms of art .

Better a life that flows God ' s holies under , Than one of flaunting shows And mortal wonder . As lowlier be it here , Where the heart acheth , So loftier 'twill appear When thc morn breakcth . —Evergreen .

Is Masonry A Religion?

IS MASONRY A RELIGION ?

Is Masonry a religion ? This Dr . Blanchard asserts . Some Masons are frequently heard to say , " Masonry is all the religion I want . " We also see , frequently , in resolutions adopted by lodges on the death of a brother Mason , many sentiments that would lead the uninitiated to believe that Masonry

is regarded by all as a religion . This , however , is not true . Religion , in its broadest sense , means a system of faith and worship . Its primary object is to teach thc duties we owe to God . Duties to men arc not religious , unless they are performed with reference to our relations to God . I may , for

instance , give money to relieve thc wants of a poor neighbour . This , in itself , is a charity , a virtuous or moral act . If , however , my motive in giving money be not only to relieve my neighbour , but . primarily and mainly to please God , then it becomes a religious act . Unless love to God be the motive

of our actions , they are in no sense religious . The prominent objects of Masonry are to ameliorate the condition of suffering humanity , to silence discord and confusion among men , to banish hatred , malice , and envy from the human heart , and implant justice , mercy , and benevolence in their stead .

Masonry commands us to assist the feeble , feed the hungry , clothe the naked , raise thc fallen , protect the widow , and scatter blessings on all the race . It promotes every moral and social virtue * , it makes men better brothers , better husbands , better fathers , and better citizens , but it does not claim to make men Christians . —Evergreen ,

HOLLOWAY ' S OINTMENT AND PlLLS . — Unwholesome changes . —The changeable weather is causing much sickness and exerting the most powerful influence in deranging the secretions of the body . Alternating chills and heats so derange the capillary circulation , that the liver , stomach , or lungs , must become disordered , Holloway's Ointment well rubbed over these parts twice a day proves thc quickest , safest , and best corrective . It

penetrates the skin , enters the deeper structures , purifies their blood , rouses torpid organs to more active exertion , cleanses their substance , equalises tlieir circulation , and renders their secretions abundant without annoying , irritating , or in any way depressing , much less exhausting , the vital forces . Holloway ' s medicaments afford an easy means of curing coughs , colds , influenzas , and asthmatic affections , —[ Advt , ]
