MORALITY . An Essay addressed to Young Men . By MAURICE CHARLES HIME , M . A ., LL . D ., Barristerat-Law . Eighth Edition . Revised and Enlarged . London : Messrs . J . and A . Churchill , n , New Burlington-street , W . Our latest experience of the public consideration of delicate questions of morality is not calculated to encourage the
hope that beneficial results will follow from it . Bro . Hime , however , discusses " morality " in a manner which is above reproach . The delicate subject is handled delicately and religiously , and no man of sense or self-respect will be likely to take exception to his mode of treatment . His object appears to be not to create a market for his book b y pandering to the prurient tastes of the multitude , but to
subserve the cause of religion and morals by combating certain commonly accepted propositions which , rightly enough , he considers harmful . His method is strictly argumentative , and though there are necessaril y references here and there to the vices of civilisation , none need be afraid of consulting his essay . or placing it on his bookselves , on the ground that in the one case his sense of propriety will be disturbed , or in
Reviews.
the other case that , if opened for reading by the more delicate-minded of either sex , there is the slightest fear their modesty will be offended . lt contains , indeed , just that kind of advice which a wise father , knowing the evils which beset young men on their entrance into life , might and should _ tender to his sons , and the advice is tendered in becoming language , not in that of the vulgar ranter who cares little how he offends against decency , so long as he
can make noise enough , and be the subject of general conversation . We have formed a high opinion of Bro . Hime ' s essay , and , to judge from the fact of its having reached the " eighth edition , " we may reasonably hope that it has been , and will be , beneficial to the cause it is intended to promote . It is worth adding that the price of the volume is only one shilling and sixpence , so that there is nothing in its cost which is likely to stand in the way of its free circulation among all classes .
UNBELIEF . —An Essay addressed to Young Men of every Christian Denomination . B y MAURICE C . HIME . Second Edition . London : Simpkin , Marshall , and Co ., Stationers' HaU Court . Dublin : Sullivan Brothers , 27 , Marlborough-street . This essay appears to have becn written with a view to counteract the evil influences of the agnostic teacher , the introductory statement in Bro . Hime ' s preface being to the
effect that " there have been lately many blasphemous , atheistical essays and tracts most industriously circulated by some person or persons r * nongst the young men of our city . " Later on Vie quotes a passage from a speech made some time since by Bro . Lord Richard Grosvenor , M . P ., P . G . W ., in which his lordship remarked : "Atheism and infidelity are very ripe at the present day , and it is the duty of all men who love religion to stand shoulder to shoulder
and fight in defence of their religion , and to try and put a stop on the advance of atheism and infidelity . " No one knows better than Bro . Hime that it is outside the province of a Masonic journal to treat of or discuss particular forms of religious belief . At the same time , whatever is written with a desire to check the progress of irreligion will secure the sympathy of the Masonic Fraternity . Masons are not all Christians , but all of them hold fast to the belief
that religion _ is the basis of our Society . They may not accept Christianity as their form of religious belief , but they know it is opposed to atheism and infidelity , and will accept the lessons inculcated in its behalf as likely to be of service generally . They will , therefore , welcome this essay , not from the particular class of religious opinions it
upholds , but because , having been written to promote tho success of one form of religion over infidelity , it cannot fail to be of service in the cause of religion generally . In this case also we are glad of the opportunity of speaking favourably of Bro . Hime ' s essay , and as it is published at the same price as his " Morality , " we trust it will have an equally large circulation .

Masonic Notes and Queries .
62 SJ _ _ THE BEE HIVE . " This is one of the most important emblems of Masonry , it being an emblem of industry , and commends that virtue to all created beings . A man , to be worth or worthy of anything , must be industrious in every relation of life in which he is engaged or called to act , and a member of the Masonic Fraternity who is not industriousl y endeavouring to perform his Masonic duties , and propagate the useful ,
sublime , and God-honouring teachings and principles of this time-honoured Society , can scarcely be said to be worthy the name of a Freemason . The counterpart of industry is indolence , or too much rest . The German proverb , ' If I rest , I rust , ' is of universal application . The Infinite Ruler of the universe of worlds and all therein contained is evidently never at rest , else the incomprehensible works of His Omnipotent hands must lose their power of
action , and early dissolution be the inevitable result . If Waterloo long rests , it stagnates ; if vegetation rests , it dies , for its wintry state is but half rest ; if the lungs rest we cease to breathe , and if the heart rests we die . Give not your lodge too much rest , else you soon have no lodge . " —D . C . Dawkins . The above article of D . C . Dawkins errs in this , that it does not add ! that the Bee Hive is a
modem form of Masonic symbolism . It is found , no doubt , in many charts , and some old glasses , and the like , and mystical and symbolical engravings , but for all this it is quite modern . Its parentage cannot date from earlier than quite late . in the eighteenth century , if even so early , if it be not a product of early ninteenth century Masonic emblematology . MASONIC STUDENT .
