Cosmopolitan Masonry.
COSMOPOLITAN MASONRY .
What a wonderful " coup d ' osil " is that w hich Kenning ' s Cosmopolitan Calendar presents to the reflective Mason . We open the little book , and are all alike startled and fascinated bv its telling index . Freemasonry seems to us , in its developement and its extent , to be
conterminous with this habitable world , and lodges are to he found apparently in every spot where the foot 0 f man has trod , or the work of civilization progresses . England , Scotland , Ireland , Canada , Quebec , New Brunswick , British Columbia , the United States , Central and Southern
America , the Argentine Republic , Brazil , Grenada . Hayti , St . Domingo , Mexico , Hungary , Vtnzuela , France , Germany , Liberia , Italy , Spain , Portugal , Bulgaria , Hamburg , Denmark , Sweden and Norway , Switzerland , Greece , Hungary , Turkey , Peru , the Netherlands , Egypt , all proclaim
the existence of Grand Lodges , or evidence the link of Freemasonry . And it is a very wonderful thoug ht in itself , both this universality and perpetuity of Freemasonry ! Go where we will , north , south , east or west , travel as we may , amid the Pampas or the Pyrenees , over the Alps or
the Apennines , the prairies of the" Lone Land , or the pathless wilds of American forests , the civilization of Paris , or the turbulence of Mexico , Freemasons can find a lodge and a resting place , a friend and a brother ! It is very easy to criticise and condemn the exoteiic and esoteric teaching
of Freemasonry ; it is by no means an uncommon thing to hear the ignorant and incompetent , dilating in vulgar twaddle , about the questionable teaching of Freemasonry , But be it good or bad , rig ht or wrong , a blessing , or noxious to mankind , there it is , none can deny its existence , none
can refuse to credit the witness of their own eyes . What then is that bond of union , or what that condition of perpetuity , which appears to dominate and distinguish the onward march of Freemasonry alike in its active work , and its vitalizing message . It appears to us to be its
one great doctrine of human brotherhood , which , despite the controversies of ages , notwithstanding the sophisms of the schools , seeirs to be all but innate in the psychology and sympathy of human nature . It seems strange to say so , but so it is , though the contrasts and conditions of
life have served to sever alike our common lives and our common interests , yet since the advent of Diviner teaching , at any rate , man appears to feel thatheandhisfellowmen are one in want , in hope , in longings , that the interests of the most widely contrasted classes are Identical after all ,
( let us ever remember a golden saying of the late Prince Consort ) , and that just as we all have a common life here in weakness , and sorrow , and trial , so we all look for another restitution and restoration hereafter , when ths " former things are passed away , " and man has reached at
last , unto the " perfection of his moral being . " So let us cherish to day the Cosmopolitanism of Freemasonry . Let us do nothing in our time and generation to weaken its framework , or discredit its " outcome , " but let us firmly adhere to its " ancient landmarks , " as alike the best
suited for the true onward progress of Freemasonry , and the benefit of mankind ! In humble acknowledgement of T . G . A . O . T . U ., first and foremost , ever , at all times and under all circumstances , and in unfeigned and active love to our brotherhood , let us wend on our way , cheered by
the consciousness that Freemasonry , in its cosmopolitan form and strivings , is only a symbol to us of that better day , the golden dawn of humanity , when man , no longer warring with , or antagonistic to his brother man , shall be one in God and one in the brotherhood of immortality .

MEMORIAL TO BRO . R . W . LITTLE . To the Editor of the " Frctmason . " Dear Sir and Brother , — I am anxious , in common with all concerned , to sec the proposed memorial to our lamented Bro . Robert Wentvvorth Little , alike worthy ot our dear brother and the other objects contemplated . Bro . Little was connected
with so many societies , under the protecting wings of Freemasonry , that I feel certain a ready response will be given to the appeal of the joint secretaries , if the character of the proposed memorial is fully understood . The Treasurer is our esteemed Bro . H . G . Buss , the Assist . G . Sec , and one of the Secretaries is Bro . William Dodd , another personal and valued friend of the deceased , the
Joint Secretary appropriately being the Secretary of the R . M . I , for Giils ( Bro . Hedges ) , to which institution the whole of the balance of the fund is to be devoted , after providing for " the erection of a simple monument" over Bro . Little ' s grave ; Mis . Little , the widow ( who is well worthy of anything the Craft can or will do on her behalf ) merely having the interest of the principal during her lifetime .
Those brethren then , who remit their subscriptions to this fund , not only take part in the simple monument to mark the earthly resting place of their friend and brother , but they provide a pleasing testimony of thrir appreciation of his exertions , thus cheering the sorely afflicted widow in her loneliness , and , beyond all , substantially aiding the Royal Masonic Institution for Girls , on whose behalf Bro . R . W . Little so ably and successfully devoted thc latter portion of his active and useful life . WILLIAM JAMES HUGH AN . Truro , 4 th D .-c , 1878 .
BRO . BEDOLFE AND THE MARK DEGREE . To the Editor of the " freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother , — Three or four weeks ago , in reply to our irrepressible Bro . W . V . Bedolfe , I had fully made up my mind to
treat any further communications of his with silence . Wnen , however , he coolly charges me with " falsehood , " and , with " attempting to convert the Freemason into a receptacle for idle tales , " it is surely high time that I rise in self-dtfence .
In a sentence , therefore , let Bro . Bedolfe note , that my " article criticised , " vvas wholly inferential , like nine out of ten o'ations delivert . d at the consecration of any Craft , Royal Arch , Mark , or other Masonic edifice , and , consequently , our brother must plead guilty , on reflection , to having discovered a mare ' s nest , when he charges me with telling " untruths , " and manufacturing receptacles for
" idle talcs . " Lastly , and for all , let me say , that , as Bro . Bedolfe does not belong to the Mark Degree , his interference is uncalled for , and , in fact , savours of impertinence , from beginning to end , of his many laboured letters thereanent in thc columns of the Freemason . Yours fraternally , W . F . LAMONBV , W . M . Faithfull Lodge , No . 220 .
MASONIC NOTES . To the Editor of the " Freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother , — I feel sure that the whole architectural profession will rejoice at the selection by the M . W . Granil Master of Bro . John Gibson for the post of Grand Superintendent of Works . Bro . Gibson has designed some of the most
elegant classic buildings of modern days , and will prove a worthy successor of the lamented brother , who was so universally respected , not only in the Craft , but in the Royal Institute of British Architects and thc Artists' Rifle Corps . A thought struck me as Bro , Gibson was being invested , it was : Why not make the appointment for two or three years only , so that other architects , who have deserved
well of the Craft , might attain to the distinguished honour ? In my opinion , the office of Superintendent of Works in Provincial Grand Lodges should always be held by a member of the architectural profession , and in case one such should not be eligible , then by a builder . It will afford much pleasure to many to know that one of the new lodges will dispense with banquets , and that
some older lodges are trying to reduce the house bills . I , for one , should not like the sociable character of Freemasonry to be lost , but feel with others that spending two or three hundred pounds on dinners and five or ten pounds on charity is not in accordance with the teaching of the Craft . ; . So much is said against meeting at taverns , and the
great objection is that something in the way of refreshment must follow the lodge meeting , as , in many cases , no rent is paid for the accommodation . Those who meet in public buildings , apart from taverns , have to pay from one to two guineas per evening for the privilege , an amount which makes considerable inroads in the funds of a small
lodge . How is it that we , in London , cannot support several Masonic halls , when many small towns , especially in Cornwall , have a room or hall entirely devoted to Freemasonry ? The Masonic Hall in South London has been through many vicissitudes , hut now seems to be prospering . Speaking of this building , reminds me ihat it is a pity that refreshments are not supplied in the building to

prevent the unseemly rush of brethren to the nearest tavern directly the lodge is closed and before the banquet is served . All brethren who care for the progress of the Mark Degree must rejoice at the decision of the Grand Mark Lodge on Tuesday last , not to take up with any of the so-called " side degrees , " more or less connected with Freemasonry ,
a contrary course must have parted this degree and the Craft more than at present , when a different course is much to be desired . Having mentioned degrees outside the Craft , let me state that some short explanation of some , especially those of Royal Ark Marin ers , Rose Croix , and Knight Templar , with the fees usually paid for taking same , usual subscriptions , & c , would be interesting to
many of your readers , and help to extend the usefulness of the degrees in question . Your notice of literary garbage will meet with universaf approval . The Church of Rome must be very short o effective weapons against Freemasonry to resort to the poor device of circulating rubbish , and I am surprised that a respectable bookseller in a well-known thoroughfare , can be found to exhibit absurd and ridiculous daubs in his
window to induce passers-by to waste their money . on utterly untrue statements as to the aim , objects , and ritual of the ancient Craft . These hasty notes on several subjects may furnish matter for profitable discussion in your pages . Yours fraternally , OBSERVER .
