Watching over the morality of the brethren , as referred to in the foregoing petition , was an ancient characteristic ofthe Scottish Crafts ; and the Masons of Torphichen would undoubtedly think it a recommendation in the eyes of the Kilwinning Fraternity to express their admiration
of this feature of their original constitution , and their desire for its perpetuation . The privilege prayed for was granted in the following terms : — " Kilwinning , May the 15 th , 1729 . " Accordimr to ane Petition given in to us by a company of Masons at Tarpichen for a privilege from our Lodge , and in answer to their petition we have
granted them a libertie to hold aCommunitie together at Tarpichen : —And we , in name of the rest of the members of the said Lodge of Tarpichen , do hereby oblige ourselves to pay yearly to us in Kilwinning the sum of one shilling Scots yearly for holding , if called forth from us ; in witness whereof subscribed by us , JOHN SHAW TIIO . MAS WALLACE . "
The Lodge of Torphichen is again introduced to notice through the minute of the Mother Lodge ' s proceedings of date March 30 , 1737 . It does not appear that this daughter of Mother Kilwinning took part iu the formation of Grand Lodge ; but having in the year succeeding that
event decided upon joining and becoming subject to the newly-constituted Grand Body , it was led to apply for a certificate confirmatory of its being "one of the ancient branches" of the Mother Lodge . The application , which is
preserved among the fragmentary records of the Lodge of Kilwinning , proceeds : — " To the RightWorsliip full Patrick Montgomerie , Esquire , Master of the Ancient Lodge of and at Kilwinning , and thc Worshipful Wardens and other Members of the said Lodge of
Kilwinning , " The Petition of the Rig ht Worshipfull and Honourable Walter S . indilands , Esquire , Master of the also Ancient Lodgo of Torphichen-Kilwinning , for himself
and in name and behalf of the Worshipfull Wardens and other Members of the said Torpliieheii-Kilwiiining Lodge , and as being authorized and empowered b y them to the effect underwritten : "Humbly Sheweth ,
" That from the best information of some ofthe oldest members of our said Lodge , Wee had a Charter of Erection from our said Ancient Mother Lod ge of and at Kilwinning , of a very ancient date , which wc persuade ourselves will be yet Standing upon your Records . The Charter itself , or ane extract
thereof , by some mismanagement of the then custodiers thereof , is , & lias been for some years past , fall ' n by and auiissing . And as Wee always were , and are still , part of the Company belonging to our said Mother Lodgo of Kilwinning , and have always kept a brotherl y Correspondence with the . same , and stand bound &
obliged to defend the Rights and Privileges thereof , and never to do anything prejudicial thereto—Wo did apply to our said Mother Lodge by Petition , dated the 27 th of December , 1728 , for additional power to meet together in a Lawfull Lodge , and to Receive , Enter , & passanyQiialify'dpersonsasFreeand Accepted Masons ,
and Receive Entry Moneys from them , and make By-Laws and Statutes amongst ourselves for the good Ordnance and Government of our Trade and Craft ; and by your deliverance thereon of the above date you were pleased , not only to Grant the desire of onr said Petition , but also to promise to furnish us with what other necessary things wee wanted betwixt anil the 15 th day
of May then next , as the Petition and Deliverence , therein extant , bear . And sieklikc , agreeable to the forsald application anil Deliverence , Two of our Members of Torpliichen-ltihviniiing Lodge , having paid iii ' . to your Box the sum of Thirty pounds Scots money , besides the expense of ane entertainment , they waited in person upon the Right Worshipfull Master and
Lodgli Torphichen-Kilwinning, No. 13, Bathgate.
Worship full Wardens and other Members of our said Mother Lodge of Kilwinning , and obtained from them ane Extract of certain of your original Statues and Ordinances , with a new power to warrand and commission to them for themselves and remnant Members of our said Lodge , not only to put these Statutes and
Acts to due execution , but also to make such other Acts & Statutes as we and our Society and Successors should think fit in all time hereafter , as the minutes and deliverance there-anent , dated the 15 th of May , 1729 , extant also bear . " And now for the honour and interest of our Lodge ,
it being necessary that we should have ane Extract of our Ancient and Original Constitution as being a branch of our said Mother Lodge of Kilwinning , and also a confirmation thereof in most ample form , " May it therefore please the Right Worshipful Masters the Worshipfull Wardens and other
Members of our Mother Lodge of Kilwinning , to consider the premises and thereupon to cause search your Records and to Engross ane Extract of our Ancient and Original Erection and Constitution , and to confirm , ratify , and approve of the same in the whole heads , privileges and
clauses thereof , and to Declare our said Lodge of Torphichen to be one ofthe Ancient Branches of your said Lodge of Kilwinning , as you have been in use to do other Lawfull Lodges in the like cases . And your Petitioners shall ever pray . ___ _ _ . .
" WAL . SAXDILANDS , Master of the Torphichen-Kilwinning . " Accompanying the above was a private letter addressed b y the Hon . Mr . Sandilands to the Master of Mother Kilwinning , and couched in the following terms : —
" Right Worshipful Broyr , " You have a petition from our Lodge , which I beg the Favour you'l lay before our Mother Lodge wt your first Convcniency . You know the Grand Quarterly Communication hold upon the therteenth of aprile nixt , at which time the precedency
of the Different Lodges is to be determined , and therefor as we have tho honour to be a verry old Branch of your Lodge , & aro anxious to havo the date of our Ancient Constitution ascertain'd , I in the name of our brethren of this lodge , beg That in ease you shall bc straitned in time , so as it may be inconvenient to
have our Charter regularly exped betwixt ami the next meeting , that , if our old Constitution is found upon your record , as doubtless it will , you'l please remit us a Certificate of the date thereof , as appears from the records under the Hands of the proper oflicers of our Most ancient and honourable Lodge , which
will be a good Document to produce m order to our being ranked , and our Charier may be taken out more at leisure . Your good friend , Geo . Frazer , the Right Worshipful of the Camiongate-Kilwiiming , and severalls of our Brethren , are at present Drinking your health . If you'l please favour me wt a return , direct
it to our Broyr Frazer , who will take Care of it , If I should Chance to be out of town I am , wt great esteem , "R . W . Broyr , yours most sincerely , " WAL . SANDILAXDS . "Edinbr . 19 th March , 1737 . " The following extract from the records of tho
Mother Lodge will show how these communications from the Torphichen brethren were disposed of , but beyond this no further notice of the subject appears in the lninute-book—although an old roll ofthe " Lodges constitute by authority of the Ancient Mother Lodge of Kilwinning , " places "Torphiclian-Kilwiiiuing" as having been erected iu 1729 : —
. . . . " There was also [ March 30 , 1737 ] presented by the Master and read , a letter from the Master of the Torphie . in-Kilwmuiiig , and a petition desiring a corroboration of their former Ancient Charter from this Lodge , which was also recommended to the said Committee to answer and expede . "
The pstition of 1737 , it will bo observd , while recapitulating the substance of that of 17 * 28 and deliverance thereon , introduces a p hrase which though not contained in either of the documents referred to , may properly enough be held to be a definition of what was embraced in
thc ri ghts that were granted to Lodges of the time , viz ., " to receive , enter and pass qualified persons "—a like privilege , expressed in the same words , having in 1 G 77 been granted by the Lodge of Kilwinning to Canongate Kilwinning ; but the petitioners of 1737 were in error when
they made the term "Free and Accepted Masons appear to have been in uso as Lodge nomenclature among Scotch Masons at a date prior to the formation of the Grand Lodge . It was by such misuse of terms that a spurious antiquity was in the last century assigned to Freemasonry . The appellation in question was not adopted in
Lodgli Torphichen-Kilwinning, No. 13, Bathgate.
Scotland before 1735 , in which year Mother Kilwinning began to designate itself a Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons . Again , in erecting a Lodge on the application of a number of Fellow Crafts and Entered Apprentices , Mother Kilwinning has borne testimony to the fact that
at the period in question it knew nothing of a Master degree . This is shown also by the manner in which the sederunts were then made up at Kilwinning . In calling the roll , members were arranged in the two grand divisions of " Fellows of Craft and Entered Prentices , "
although when any of the former grade happened to be Masters , i . e . employers , they were noted as such . In alluding to the expenses incurred in connection with the revivification of the Lodge of
Torphichen , the petitioners for confirmation of the former authority exhibit the Lodge of Kilwinning seated at the festive board as the guests of the delegates who in 1729 went to Kilwinning to urge the suit of their Lodge . This is the earliest recorded instance of a Masonic
entertainment m the Lodge of Kilwinning ; although from the prominence that is given to the banquet . in statutes of the Craft in the lGth century , taken in connection with the fact that in 1735 a stone punch-bowl was added to the Lodge of Kilwinning , there is every reason to believe that
the gatherings of the ancient Fraternity would occasionally be charactised b y a hilarity not uncommon in Lodges of our own day . The Torphichen Lodge was not the only one in Linlithgowshire which hailed from Kilwinning .
In 1784 "sundry Masons in Bathgate applied for a " decreet of constitution , " which was granted to the Lodge "Bathgate Kilwinning , " p laced as No . 76 on the roll of Lodges created by Mother Kilwinning .
Maxims Of Pythagoras.
MAXIMS OF PYTHAGORAS .
This distinguished philospher and Mason was accustomed to instruct his pupils in senteuious maxim , concealing , under a slight mask , the most important truths of his system . Some of these pithy sayings have been preserved . Wear not a
ring . Do not encircle yourself with ignorance . Turn away from thyself every edge . Be prudent and subdue your passions . Take off thy rig ht shoe first Be careful of the consequences of every enterprise iu which you may engage . Travelling from home turn not back , for the furies go back with you . Wheu you begin a great and important undertaking , do it
with theintention of completing it , und allow nothing to deter you or turn you back . This maxim Pythagoras particularly applied to his Masonic system . Those who entered it were exhorted not to stop short of the hightest attainments iu it of which they were capable . Look not into a glass by candle-light . Spurn superficial knowledge . The motto of Pope is : —
"A little learning isa dangerous thing ; Drink deep , or taste not the l'ieran spring . " Shallow attainments are worse than little better than none . Aim at perfect knowledge , that you may learn of God and " know Him even as yourself are known . " Pass not over thc balance . An exhortation to Equality and Justice . Pat not meal in an
unworthy vessel . Our Saviour gave the same niaxi m — " Cast not your pearls before swine , lest they turn again and rend you . " Eat not the heart nor the brain . Do nothing that can effect the fraternal bond that makes one of the brotherhood . Sleep not at noon . Be awake and active to secure knowledge when it is iu the way of being dispensed .
GUEKNWICII PnOMINKNCK AT OXFORD EXAMINATIONS . —Two Greenwich schools especially distinguished themselves at the Oxford local examinations of last year . These were Groom's Hill School , conducted by Dr . Goodwin ; and Cambridge House , the Grove , Blackheath , presided over by Mr . John Bell , M . A . The lead has been kept by both gentlemen
this year , and it ia a singular fact that , as they passed a like number of boys last year and the year before , they have each passed fifteen scholars in 1809 —this number being a larger one than that attained to by any other school in the London district . BREAKFAST . —EITS ' COCOA . —Grateful and Comforting . — The very agreeable character of this preparation
has rendered it a general favourite . The Civil Service Gazette remarks : —' The singular success which Mr . Kpp » attained by his homoeopathic preparation of cocoa has never been surpassed by any experimentalist . Hy a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition , and bv a careful implication of the
tine propeitits of well-selected cocoa . Sir . Kpps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctor ' s bills . " Made simply with boiling water or milk . Sold by the Trade only , in j-lb ., 4 lb , and 1 lb . tin-lined packets , labelled JAMES Errs & Co ., llo'nceoputhio Chemists , London . —ADVT .
