Freemasonry In The East.

the Architect of the Universe , the sublime principles of His creation , and the dependance of man upon His laws , natural and moral . Notwithstanding that the temple , designed by David and constructed by his son Solomon , was bv divine command , and therefore intended for

a good and wise purpose , it has been seen that it received no particular divine protection . Repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt , it finally ceased to exist for the purpose for which it was originally constructed . It now remains only as a delapidated edifice , or , in its present

condition , as a mosque ; and its very entrance is , more or less , closed against the former people of God , whose greatest desire is to reconstruct it , and once more offer up there their adorations to Jehovah . Though strange as are the ways of Providence , what a vast change must come over men's

convictions regarding prophecy , and their conceptions ofthe true character ofthe Deity , before such an event can be brought about . Ancient mythology , with its one great Divine Creator of the Universe , and the innumerable imaginative gods and goddesses , their temples and statues ,

beautiful as they were , have passed away , and given place to a modern belief in saints of both sexes—little less powerful than the former , though devoid of their beauty . These also must cease to occupy men's convictions , and mankind

must return to the first principles of religion before this change can be effected . Indeed , we can only expect this when all the world again shall become Hebrew—or , as an alternative , when all Hebrews become Christians . Towards which , are the tendencies of our times ? I leave the

answer to wiser men than myself . We cannot expect it to be the effect of vast wealth , notwithstanding that wealth is power , or , at least , may obtain it ; or will it be by the extension of true knowledge , of light , and truth ; or by some unforseen particular divine

interpositioncalled a miracle ? There is certainly a great reaction going on in men's minds throughout the world , occasioned by abuses and violence , against which they revolt , even if in silence and suffering , but none the less progressive . Will

another prophet or great religious leader appear in the Old or New World ; or will what is called science divulge indisputable truths and correct human errors ? Future generations may probably smile at our present credulity , as we now do at that of the past .

Amongst no people should Freemasonry in its primitive degrees be dearer than the Hebrews . As connected with the Temple of their two great Kings , David and Solomon , it is thc explainer and the promoter of their most ardent expectations ; whilst to the Christian and the Moslem it has far less interest . There are many traditions in the " East" connected with its

construction , its signification , and object ; but it is only necessary here to allude to one—that all the Israelites turned their faces to it at prayer . Until several years after the Ileeira , the Moslems did the same ; then they divided it with the Temple of Mekka , ancl ultimately decided

upon one Kiblah only—the latter . Many Moslems say that they arc Christians , inasmuch as they declare that Christ was more than any other ^ man , and was the soul and spirit of God . This is explained by their system of inspirationto wit , the possession by man of more or less of

the spirit of his Divine Creator ; and they say that Christ possessed more of this than any other member of the human family . They do not , however , admit that He was , or is , God , whom they declare as one , and incapable of any division whatever . They attach an immense

importance to the Temple of Jerusalem , and it is only of late years that they have permitted others than themselves to enter it , and to profane its purity with their uncleanness . Yet , with them it has no spiritual or symbolical meaning . It was constructed by one of their greatest prophets—whose wisdom they consider as

unparalleled . None of its parts have been " spiritualised " by them , or made to serve as symbols for the guidance of men's lives and labours . It is only sanctified and held as holy in their estimation by its having been elrccted by Solomon on one of thc most ancient scenes of the adoration of Jehovah by His creatures .

Freemasonry In The East.

To them its Mosaic pavement , Us lofty dome , has no other meaning than that of any other edifice . There are , however , now many Moslems who have become Freemasons , and as such are taught the significancy connecting them with what is always held to be the Temple of God .

So beautiful a theory seems to impress them more than any ordinary teachings ; and they now know that these are of an universal character , not limited to Hebrews or Christians , but to the whole family and fraternity of mankind , in every part of thc world . They learn that the whole

world is a temple , that all those who fully believe in the Great Architect of the Universe are Freemasons in theory , if not in ' fact—in spirit , if not in practice ; that the rules of architecture are used as so many symbols , which may govern and direct the conduct of thc Moslem as well as

of the Hebrew and the Christian ; and that the figurative signs and words used by them only serve as an universal language , to recognise those who are , from those who are not , Freemasons . All nature is a mystery to the uninitiated and the unenlightened ; that knowledge

can only be acquired by degrees , like the steps of a ladder , leading upwards—from earth to heaven , from infancy to mature age , and , finally , to the last round , beyond which is eternity . If the undeviating lines of architectural geometry do not always serve to guide and correct the

lives of men , they are not the less truthful , unalterable , and applicable in all times and to all peoples . Gradually the mistrust of Moslems is being removed . They see that it has not been , and never will be , degraded by matters of mere worldly politics , or of a purely religious sectarian

character ; and that the whole sphere of this action is to set these aside , and to unite all mankind together in one great and universal Brotherhood . An endeavour is being made in the lodges in Turkey to carry out Freemasonry in its true and

ancient bearings ; to connect it with what is the real duty of all men , viz ., the study of the works of the Great Architect of the Universe . Science , and all of the arts , thus come within its circle . Useful knowledge is its centre , and the moral acts of individuals—if as correct as the sides

of the square—even when contracted or expanded , are ever the same . Then , the tressel-board , the Mosaic pavement , tbe square , the compasses and the plumb-line have each a symbolic meaning- —not only with the secrets of the lost Temple of Jerusalem , but with those of the greater Temple of the Universe . Thc

lights and truths of spiritual faith , of dependence upon a Divine Providence , and perfect submission to thc laws of thc Supreme Architect of the Universe , serve to unite all men in the " East " together as fellow-creatures and the children of a common parent , when the ordinary and equally conventional observances and ceremonies of

external religion separates aad divides them , freemasonry has been greatly needed in the " East , " and when relieved from thc prejudice which , in some minds , still exists against it—the result of ignorance regarding its real objects and principles—it must become popular and esteemed amonrrst men of liberal and cultivated minds .

It will strongly avl the Sovereign a ' . v . l his iv . gnly . progressive government in amalgamating the various peoples over whom he reigns , if not in one great nationality , at least in one great Fraternity , and remove the asperities of religions

and faiths , and unite them all together as men , each professing and exercising his particular religious convictions- free from any sacrifice of what is as dear to the Moslem as to the Hebrew or the Christian—the dictates of the conscience .

West Of England Sanatorium.

WEST OF ENGLAND SANATORIUM .

This Institution , which is a convalescent home , giving the advantage of sea-rut * and sea-bathing to patients recovering from illness or suffering from debility , was established in 106 S on the Cottage Hospital system , that of aiding poor people to help themselves by providing them with a proper lodging , attendance , and medical care without charge , whilst they themselves pay for their maintenance .

Intended more especially to benefit the West of England , its doors arc open to till without any Governor ' s note , the only certificate needed beingone from a medical man that the patient is a tit case , and lias not suffered from any infectious disease ; upon whicli , aud the payment of ios . a week , thc patient is admitted to the first vacant bed . If thc patient can get a subscriber ' s ticket , this payment is reduced to 63 .

The institution began in 1868 with four beds in a back street in a very humble way ; in six months the old Strand House was taken , and thc beds increased from twelve to eighteen , in the succeeding year to thirty , and last summer thc pressure was so great that a wooden house was built as a day-room , and thc number of beds increased to thirtv-six .

At thc conclusion of the third year , November , 1 S 70 , the institution was nearly ,- £ 600 in debt , and rented their present buildings and kind . Mr . W . Gibbs , of Tynesfield , then offered . £ 700 , if £ Soo more could be raised by Christmas Day , , £ 200 having been previously promised , to liquidate

the debt . This was to be on the condition that no mortgage should ever take place , and no building commenced before the requisite funds were collected . This amount was collected by Christmas Eve , and Mr . Gibbs' donation was at once paid into the bank .

The Committee now being able to purchase the freehold , and announce the institution free from debt , the Trustees of the Bristol Fever Hospital Fund , per Mr . J . Hcllicar , paid over their balance of , £ 1 , 100 in consideration of certain benefits to

patients from tlie Bristol Royal Infirmary and Bristol General Hospital ; following which Mr . W . T . Hill presented thc munificent sum of , £ 2 , 000 , requiring only a small return to benefit the Worcester infirmary and tiic employe ' s on thc Taff Vale Railway .

Plans were therefore at once drawn by Mr . Hans F . Price , architect , of a new building for one hundred patients , thc Committee having purchased another piece of freehold land adjoining the institution , so that they are now possessed of nearly three acres of land with a front to the sea , the sands forming excellent bathing grounds for thc patients . The building , of which the foundation-stone will be laid by Lord Carnarvon , the President for thc

year , with Masonic honours , will be of the collegiate style , forming a quadrangle facing the sen , with a private chapel and glass-houses for recreation . The whole , when completed and furnished , with the purchase ofthe land , will not c \ cecd ^ i 2 o a-bed , which is very much below the average of

public institutions , whilst every comfort is provided . Thc building will be erected in sections , as funds are collected . At present thc Committee arc in possession of about one-fifth ofthe required sum . In helping this work , which is purely Masonic in its character , that of relieving necessity without pauperising the receiver , much good will be effected .

Already more than 700 patients from all parts of Kngland have enjoyed a months change of air , and returned home for the most part in good health and strength , again to earn their living . Any further information will be gladly given by the Secretary , E . I ) . Girdlestone , Esq ., Westonsuper-Mare .
