LIVE MASONS .
BY JJKO . W . EUUROCOHS , A . M ., AI . M . M ., S . B ., R . A . Editor " Masonic Herald , " Calcutta . Ami . v / 7 ' / sed toti trenitiui se credere miindo .
A I ' we-masini is living tiro—wurni , genial , and g lowing- ; there is 110 sham in or about him ; but all " sober truth" ami " right earnestness . " lie is the reverse of the dead-iiiasun as that of the
sl / oir-mason , and is no paradox . " 1 ' nbiassed by the improper solicitation of friends , against his own inclination , and iinintluenceil by mercenary or an \ - other unworthy motive , he freely and
voluntarily tillered himself a candidate for tin mysteries and privileges of Freemasonry . " Hi was prompted to enter the Order " from a favourable , opinion pre-eoneeived of the institution , a
desire of knowledge , and a sincere wish to render himself more extensively serviceable to his fellow creatines •" and not as many have done , with deceit in tlie heart and perjury on the
tongue , promising to do what they never intended to do . Could the inside of such " wilfully perjured individuals " be examined , it would show a mass of corruption really abominable .
/ Jut the tire-ma sun is a dillerent being . lie is life , and not death . ! le is substance , and not shadow . Me is reality , and not mockery . Like a certain king , as history records , he does not
keep a host of retainers about him to warn him that he is mortal—nor like the Egyptians of old , does he , keep ; t skull before him to remind him not to forget himself that he must die . These
important truths the emblems of the Order have declared to him , anil hi- remembers them and abides by them . They are engraved upon his heart , ami he dues not forget their teachil )" ' —
l . ovi-i Tii ( ion AMI I . iivi-- . ni MAN . The philosophy and philanthropy of . Masonry are his sole study . Like the blessed mnn mentioned in Hol y Writ , he ' •' walketh not in the counsel of
the ungodly , nor standcth in the way of sinners , norsiftcih . in the seat of tho scornful ; but his delight is in the law of the Lord , ami in 1 lis law iloth he meditate day and night . " Jf there is a Charity to support , the lice-inaso > i

freely gives what he has freely received , often giving twice over in . happy forgetfulness ; as his left hand is ignorant of the action of his ri ght hand . He is no Pharisee , nor like the Sadducee ,
disbelieves a resurrection , consequently future reward and punishment . Nor does he , like the hypocrite , tell his " brother man " " be ye warmed and filled , " but gives not " those things Avhich
-are needful to the body . " Nor is he a Levite , to pass by unconcernedly " on the other side , " rather than render any assistance to the maimed , the stricken , and the halt . But he is the " sood
Samaritan , " ready to aid and assist the wounded , to relieve the oppressed , to succour the distressed . His is not an idle or ostensible charity ; but true and real , flowing from his bosom , which is tho fountain of kindness , mildness , and
long--suftering . If the live-mason has a good book , he reads it , and inwardly digests it , and then with a kind word gives it to his neighbour , so that he may
also study it and be bene / itted by it . He considers the light of Knowledge , as that of the Sun , should not be confined to any spot nor be restricted to any person . " We are all descended
from one stock , " he says , " wc are dwellers of one place—earth , which is God ' s footstool ; we are hoping for one hope—heaven , which is God ' s throne . Why , therefore , should we draw distinction ? The leccl has annihilated it . " He
thinks well ! If a person has fallen into a ditch , he runs immediatel y to his rescue , unmindful that in doimr so he will stain his clothes or soil his
boots . 11 one is sick , he readily visits him , unmindful that in doing so he imposes extra labour upon himself . If one is in distress , he cheerfully relieves him , unmindful that in doing so
he empties his purse . J i-iiiov . vii-JiKiijt is the motto on the escutcheon of his heart ; he moves under its impulse ami lives under its influence , and he does well !
If ;\ Masonic periodical is started , and though it be an acorn , the lii'c-mason takes it up in the hope that in time it nr . \ y become an oak . it is a disseminating organ of the Order , and he
protects it against the raging winds of thought and the contending waves of opinion . He feeds it with means as matter . If wanting in worldly possession or in mental acquisition , like Wotton ,
he becomes " a gatherer of other men ' s stuff ' , '' to fill a Mallet , not for himself , but for those who mav be wanting in knowledge to think better , or in means to live happier . The good
of others is happiness to him . Ho is charity personified . He " sullereth long and is kind ; he envieth not ; he vaunteth not ; is not pulled up ; doth not behave himself unseemly ; seeketh
not hisoivii : is not easily provoked ; thinketh no evil ; rejoiceth not in iniquity , but in the truth . lk-areth all things ; believeth all things ; liopeth all things ; endureth all things . " But how few there are as such ? How few there
are'" Whose soul with ev ' ry lovely virtue fraught , Who feetl the hungry witli a heart benign , Who give refreshiHont when the thirsty pine , Who grant the stranger shelter from the storm ,
Who clothe tlu- naked and the frost-nip warm ; The sick who visit- with human intent , And seek the cottage where the poor lament . " If the picture here drawn be correct , should it be a speaking lik . eness—a true portrait and not

A I ' we-masini is living tiro—wurni , genial , and g lowing- ; there is 110 sham in or about him ; but all " sober truth" ami " right earnestness . " lie is the reverse of the dead-iiiasun as that of the
sl / oir-mason , and is no paradox . " 1 ' nbiassed by the improper solicitation of friends , against his own inclination , and iinintluenceil by mercenary or an \ - other unworthy motive , he freely and
voluntarily tillered himself a candidate for tin mysteries and privileges of Freemasonry . " Hi was prompted to enter the Order " from a favourable , opinion pre-eoneeived of the institution , a
desire of knowledge , and a sincere wish to render himself more extensively serviceable to his fellow creatines •" and not as many have done , with deceit in tlie heart and perjury on the
tongue , promising to do what they never intended to do . Could the inside of such " wilfully perjured individuals " be examined , it would show a mass of corruption really abominable .
/ Jut the tire-ma sun is a dillerent being . lie is life , and not death . ! le is substance , and not shadow . Me is reality , and not mockery . Like a certain king , as history records , he does not
keep a host of retainers about him to warn him that he is mortal—nor like the Egyptians of old , does he , keep ; t skull before him to remind him not to forget himself that he must die . These
important truths the emblems of the Order have declared to him , anil hi- remembers them and abides by them . They are engraved upon his heart , ami he dues not forget their teachil )" ' —
l . ovi-i Tii ( ion AMI I . iivi-- . ni MAN . The philosophy and philanthropy of . Masonry are his sole study . Like the blessed mnn mentioned in Hol y Writ , he ' •' walketh not in the counsel of
the ungodly , nor standcth in the way of sinners , norsiftcih . in the seat of tho scornful ; but his delight is in the law of the Lord , ami in 1 lis law iloth he meditate day and night . " Jf there is a Charity to support , the lice-inaso > i

freely gives what he has freely received , often giving twice over in . happy forgetfulness ; as his left hand is ignorant of the action of his ri ght hand . He is no Pharisee , nor like the Sadducee ,
disbelieves a resurrection , consequently future reward and punishment . Nor does he , like the hypocrite , tell his " brother man " " be ye warmed and filled , " but gives not " those things Avhich
-are needful to the body . " Nor is he a Levite , to pass by unconcernedly " on the other side , " rather than render any assistance to the maimed , the stricken , and the halt . But he is the " sood
Samaritan , " ready to aid and assist the wounded , to relieve the oppressed , to succour the distressed . His is not an idle or ostensible charity ; but true and real , flowing from his bosom , which is tho fountain of kindness , mildness , and
long--suftering . If the live-mason has a good book , he reads it , and inwardly digests it , and then with a kind word gives it to his neighbour , so that he may
also study it and be bene / itted by it . He considers the light of Knowledge , as that of the Sun , should not be confined to any spot nor be restricted to any person . " We are all descended
from one stock , " he says , " wc are dwellers of one place—earth , which is God ' s footstool ; we are hoping for one hope—heaven , which is God ' s throne . Why , therefore , should we draw distinction ? The leccl has annihilated it . " He
thinks well ! If a person has fallen into a ditch , he runs immediatel y to his rescue , unmindful that in doimr so he will stain his clothes or soil his
boots . 11 one is sick , he readily visits him , unmindful that in doing so he imposes extra labour upon himself . If one is in distress , he cheerfully relieves him , unmindful that in doing so
he empties his purse . J i-iiiov . vii-JiKiijt is the motto on the escutcheon of his heart ; he moves under its impulse ami lives under its influence , and he does well !
If ;\ Masonic periodical is started , and though it be an acorn , the lii'c-mason takes it up in the hope that in time it nr . \ y become an oak . it is a disseminating organ of the Order , and he
protects it against the raging winds of thought and the contending waves of opinion . He feeds it with means as matter . If wanting in worldly possession or in mental acquisition , like Wotton ,
he becomes " a gatherer of other men ' s stuff ' , '' to fill a Mallet , not for himself , but for those who mav be wanting in knowledge to think better , or in means to live happier . The good
of others is happiness to him . Ho is charity personified . He " sullereth long and is kind ; he envieth not ; he vaunteth not ; is not pulled up ; doth not behave himself unseemly ; seeketh
not hisoivii : is not easily provoked ; thinketh no evil ; rejoiceth not in iniquity , but in the truth . lk-areth all things ; believeth all things ; liopeth all things ; endureth all things . " But how few there are as such ? How few there
are'" Whose soul with ev ' ry lovely virtue fraught , Who feetl the hungry witli a heart benign , Who give refreshiHont when the thirsty pine , Who grant the stranger shelter from the storm ,
Who clothe tlu- naked and the frost-nip warm ; The sick who visit- with human intent , And seek the cottage where the poor lament . " If the picture here drawn be correct , should it be a speaking lik . eness—a true portrait and not
