—?—The first Grand Lodge was established in the State of Massachusetts , in 17 ( 54 . Never forget that j * ou are a Freemason , a link in the chain of uuiversal brotherhood .
The oldest Lodge in America was established in the city of Boston , in 1733 , its warrant issuing from the Grand Lodge of England . Freemasonry , -whitened with the frost of ages , comes down to us , bearing on its grim countenance and furrowed brow , the relics of antiquity . It lives
¦ while kings and conquerors have passed awaj ' , and thrones and sceptres have crumbled into dust"while cities , which were once renowned for their greatness , magnificence and splendour , have had " Ichabod " written upon them by the finger of time , and empires rocked and crushed , have split into
fragments and disappeared . Masonry , like a mighty fire , has spread itself from the centre to the circumference of our globe . Neither the -weakness , nor perfidy of its professed friends , nor the malice of its enemies , have been able to retard its onward march , or for any length of time , cripple its energies .
The Warrant of the first " coloured lodge" bears date 29 th September , 1784 . The warrant was issued by " T lomas Howard , Earl of Effingham , Lord Howard , & c , & c , Acting Grand Master under the authority of His Roj'al Highness , Henry Frederick , Duke of Cumberland , & c , & c , " and wjs directed to
" Prince Hall , Boston Smith , Thomas Sanderson , and several others residing at Boston , New England , in North America , " constituting them a regular lodge of Free and Accepted Masons , " under the title or denomination of " 'The African Lodge . '" The warrant is signed by It . Holt , D . G . M ., and
attested by W . White , G . S . African Lodges have been regarded as irregular and clandestine . Notwithstanding , they have steadily increased , and nt the last communication of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts , sixteen other States were represented . The chief goddess in the Egyptian mysteries , the
symbol of nature , and the mother and nurse of all things is Isis . Diodonus says Osiris , Isis , Typhon , Apollo , aud Venus were the children of Jupitor and Juno . Osiris , who is identical with the Dionj'sis of the Greeks , married Isis , the moon , and they both made the improvement of society their especial
care . Men were no longer butchered after Isis had discovered the valuable qualities of wheat and barley , and Osiris had taught how to prepare them , Isis and Osiris were undoubtedly persons superior in mind and intelligence to the age in which they lived , who organized society-, and contributed largely
to the improvement of mankind , on which account the gratitude of after ages elevated them to the r ink of gods . The mysteries of Isis , are interesting to Masons as being the foundation of those of the Sidonian builders , or Dionysian architects , which have contributed so many elciueut , to the masonic rites .
The magnificent " Mosque of Omar is believed to have been commenced by the Caliph Omar , the first of that name , and father-in-law of Mahomet , between the years A . D . 038 and 041 , and very much enlarged , beautified and enriched , in fact quite remodelled by the Caliph Abd el-nialek in A . D . OSG .
It was seven years in building ; the Moslems believe it to stand over the rock on which Jacob was sleeping when he saw the vision of the heavenly ladder ; but it is still sacred to them , as it is to the Masons of the present day , from having been the sacred rock beneath the altar of Solomon ' s temple ,
whereon the sacred sacrifice was offered . During tho time of the Latin kingdom in Jerusalem this mosque became a Christian ci'licdral , used by the Crusaders , and called ihe '' Temple of the Lord . " The fanciful and intricate patterns of the porcelain walls , the graceful and delicate tracery of the
windows and inscriptions , the peculiarly charming and perfectly harmonizing effect produced by the blending of tbe colours , the cll ' ect of the dim religious light upon the interior of the magnificent dome , the adornment of the walls and exquisitely chiselled columns , produce an awe inspiring fueling
with which no building of the palmiest days of the medieval ages can compare . Pr . oMPTNEss IN FINANCIAL MATTERS . —\ o course that can he pursued by a lodge is so fraught with bad results as negligence on the part ofthe lodge in collection , and un thu part of tin-members in paving their
dues . Every brother can , without feeling it , pay the trifling sum asse-sed upon him , monthly or quarterly . But when lie neglects years , and the sum becomes of considerable amount , he begins to feci that he cannot well spare it , and when payment is enforced he likely enough lakes ollence and withdraws his membership ,
and so , from mere inattention—or perhaps there is no pressing need of funds for the time being—amounts are suffered to accumulate , the brethren become angry when pressed for payment , and the lodge is either broken up or made a theatre of discontent , and perhaps of exhibition of passion .
