Laying The Foundation Stone Of The Church Of St. Peter-In-Eastgate, Lincoln.
was first invented , and the utility thereof ; that his brother Edwin in the same year summoned all fjhe Masons to meet him at York , who came and composed a general lodge , of which he was Grand Master ; that in the year 1358 Edward III . revised the constitutions . We read that
the Freemasons were a sort of nomad or wandering tribe which roamed about the country building . churches where required . At no time , however , has Freemasonry increased as it has done in the last few years , under the presidency of our present Grand Master , the Earl of Zetland .
Our enemies have said that we are irreli g ious and-, disloyal . If we were disloyal , is it possible that we should be patronised b y kings and royal princes' ! Among those initiated in England we have Henry VI ., William III ., Frederick , Prince of Wales , and George IV . and his brothers ,
many nobility and gentry of undoubted loyalty , and lastly the heir-appareut of this kingdom , H . R . H . the Prince of Wales . Her Majesty also has g iven many donations to our charities , and is the patroness of the Boys' School . Among foreigners we number Frederick the Great of
Prussia , and the present Kings of Italy , Prussia , Sweden , and the Bel gian *? , and the Crown Prince of Prussia , the husband of our Princess Royal . If we were irreligious is it likely we should be supported by the clergy , as Brothers Larken , Coltman , Nash , Hoadath , or Oliver , and many others ! But it is said , we admit Jews , Turks , in
fact , all who believe in the Old Testament . This is true , and we g ladl y welcome those who have thrown aside all the prejudice of ages , and are read y to meet on friendl y terms those whom they have formerl y detested and despised . Dr . Oliver has called Freemasonry the handmaid of true reli g ion , and nothing is more likely to bring others to what we Christians believe to bo the
truth , than that friendl y intercourse which at all times pervades masonic assemblies . Many of the brethren present will also remember that our Provincial Grand Master , the Duke of St . Albans , informed us that he was told in E gypt that there was a spirit of masonry among the
Mahometans which was more likel y to bring them to Christianity than anything else could do . Irreli gious ! Almost the first question put to the candidate is "In whom do you put your trust ?" When he replies " In God , " right glad are we to see his faith so well founded . He is also
directed to make the sacred volume his rule and guide through life . In the charge to the Master he is urged to practice himself , aud to cause others to practice without the lodge , those excellent tenets and princi ples they are taught within it , that when a man is
said to bc a Masou , the outside world should know that he is one to whom the burdened soul may display its sorrows , the poor and distressed may look for comfort , advice , and assistance , whose hands and hearts , in fact , are guided b y philanthrophy , justice , and benevolence . I would sum
up the instruction given to a Freemason , in these words , " Fear God and keep his commandments , and love your nei g hbour as yourself . " One word for our charities . We have connected with the Order an annuity fund for aged and distressed Freemasons and their widows , an institution for
orphan sons , and another for orphan daughters of Freemasons , where the children are clothed , fed , and taught , and looked after as well as could be done by tho parents they have lost . The Grand Lodge has a large benevolent fund , and nearly every province and many private lodge j
have benevolent funds ; in fact , there is a chainwork and net-work of lodges which is able to refresh and pass any brother to his home , at whatever distance that may bc . Thc boys' school has latel y been enlarged at a great expense , which entailed a heavy debt upon it , and last year more
than . £ 12 , 000 was collected for removing it , without any of the other charities suffering in consequence . I may also state here that one of the present excellent masters of that school was the orphan son of a Lincolnshire Freemason , and
was educated at the school . It now only remains for me to thank you for the compliment paid to mo in asking mo to lay this stone . I thank you also on behalf of Freemasonry for invitiii" us to lay it with our ancient rites . I look upon this ceremony as one of the most legitimate we can

perform . Everything we have done has its symbolical meaning . The corn , wine , oil , and salt are ancient elements of consecration . The square , level , and p lumb-rule , with which the stone has been tried and proved , severally represent morality , equality , and uprightness of life and actions . These are beautifully illustrated in
our lodge lectures . This stone itself reminds us of " the tried stone , the precious corner stone , the stone of stumbling , the rock of offence" of the Prophet Isaiah ; " the stone which the builders rejected , and which has become the head stone of the corner , " mentioned in the Psalms—the Great Architect of the Universe , the blessed Saviour of the world .
A collection was made , and the sum of £ 41 odd was taken upon the plates . The choir next sung the hymn , "Christ is our corner-stone , " after which his Lordshi p pronounced the benediction , which brought the ceremony to a close . The brethren then returned to the White Hart
Hotel , where the lodge was closed . The luncheon was provided in the County Assembly-rooms , by Mr . Kitchen , of the White Hart Hotel . The company numbered upwards of 150 , including many ladies . The Rev . J . M . Barrett presided , and was supported on the right
by the Lord Bishop , Miss Cookson , and the Misses Wordsworth ; and on the left by Major Smyth , D . P . G . M ., and the Rev . Chancellor Massingberd . Mr . F . Pilkington and Mr . W . Kirk , the churchwardens , occupied the vice-chairs .
After several toasts had been given , and cordially received , the Chairman proposed "The healths of Freemasons in general , and the Deput y Grand Master of Lincolnshire in particular . " Major SMYTH eloquently responded .
The toast of " The Ladies , " responded to b y the Rev . H . ADCOCK , exhausted the toast list , and the proceedings were brought to a close . — Abridged from The Lincoln Journal .
