Original Correspondence.
much at heart , he gives the name of an individual who three years ago lived at Salisbury-court , Strand , and triumphantly adds that now " he has furnished me with the information I profess to desire , " and that my " shadowy possibilities " are converted into " tangible realities . " How very absurd .
A committee is generally supposed to consist of several persons , and a single individual cannot by any stretch of imagination be transformed into " tangible realities . " I must confess AV . M . is persevering . Perseverance is a useful characteristic , and persistency without doubt an excellent
quality properly employed—both are likely to become mischeivous when wrongly directed . He perseveringly persists in his declaration that he does not wish to see new committees formed repudiating the efforts of an original committee . He does not seem to perceive the marvellous reticence
of that original body . He does not seem to ask himself how it is this committee shows no symptoms of life . AVhy do they not make their appearance in propria persona :, and declare their position , instead , of permitting him by his futile attempts to take up the cudgels for them .
The whole matter resolves itself into this : A committee is said to have been formed three years ago . If that committee existed at present , ancl was an honourable one , the fact would have been established during the progress of this discussion by the open declaration of one or other of its
members ; but seeing neither officers nor members have either directly or indirectly manifested themselves , we may fairly conclude that the committee AV . M . speaks of has no present existence , and is a thing of the past . AA hat became of the fund , still remains a mystery . The party holding it alone can clear
up that point . AA . M . refuses to give his name , because by doing so , he says , " he might probably only call down more abuse from Bro . Gottheil . " I am sorry he thinks so . I imagine that were I to be made acquainted with his name , I might possibly find good
reasons to esteem and respect him in spite of this controversy between us . But of course in this matter he must be allowed to be the best judge . Yours fraternallv , E . GOTTHEIL , P . M . 141 , Hon . Sec . to the Committee .
( To the Editor of The Freemason . ) DEAR SIR AND BROTHER , —1 had fully intended last week to make a communication to you relative to the above fund , but was prevented doing so by certain business engagements . I am very glad , however , to find that AV . M . gives so clear an
answer to Brother Gottheil , as to the whereabouts of the Secretary of the original committee , that he ( Bro . G . ) will perhaps now believe such a committee did exist . 1 use the past tense , but whether I am correct in doing so I hardly know , because for any information 1 have to the contrary it may still
exist , and that is a point which I presume many brethren besides myself would like to be enlightened upon . I can fully endorse the reply of " W . M . " in your impression of Saturday last , and perhaps throw a little additional light on the subject , although I confess it is so meagre as only to make
the darkness visible . Be that as it may , the facts I have to relate are simply these . AVhen it was proposed in the Masonic Mirror that a subscription should be raised to purchase a Boat to be called the "Masonic Life Boat , " the lodge to which I have the honour of belonging took up the
matter in good earnest , and the result was wc remitted to IV . Smith , Esq ., C . E ., 19 , Salisburystreet , Strand , thc then Secretary of the Committee , the sum of f \ o 3 s . 6 d . which was duly acknowledged by post , and also in thc columns of the Masonic Magazine . A length of time elapsed ,
nothing seemed to have been done by the committee , and wc began to think it was time to have some information as to what had been done or what was proposed to be done with the money . Our Secretary was requested to write to AV . Smith , Esq ., and the reply wc received from him was , that
he had ceased to have anything to do with the affair , but had , almost immediately on receipt of our money , handed it over to Brother Hyde Clarke , and had nothing further to do with it . Thereupon the Secretary communicated in that quarter , and thc reply received from Brother Hyde Clarke was
" that he had some slight remembrance of a sum of money being handed over to him from our lodge among other subscriptions , but would communicate further on the subject . " This reply was received some months ago , and I am at a loss to know when " any further communication " may be expected , for several letters have been written bv our
Secretary since that time demanding an account of the money without eliciting any information . Now it is only fair to suppose that the experience of other lodges in the management (?) of this fund has been the same as our own , and I maintain it is high time some action was taken by all the subscribers to demand from the " original promoters" an account of their stewardship .
Original Correspondence.
It is all very well for Brother Gottheil to accuse AV . M . of throwing cold water on the present effort but I apprehend that AV . M ., like others who subscribed either individually or collectively as a lodge , remember thc advice
that" Tis best to be off with the old love Before you are on with the new ;" and I cannot help thinking that if instead of writing letters which AV . M . most justly terms intemperate Brother Gottheil would assist in unravelling what certainly is now a mystery , he would be far more likely to be cordially supported by thc Craft ai large in his present laudable undertaking .
I am , Sir and Brother , Yours fraternally , P . M ., 200 .
ANTIQUITY OF FREEMASONRY . ( To the Editor of The Freemason . ) DEAR SIR AND BROTHER , —AVill such of youi readers as are interested in this subject turn tc page 188 and correct the following mistakes , 01 printer ' s errors , in my letter there , viz ., line 38 , foi
" March 12 th" read "March 19 th , " and on line 47 , for " Crypt or Choir " read " Crypt and Choir , " and on 49 , for " 1532 " read " 1232 . " Those who know anything of the history of Glasgow Cathedral will understand that my remark " about the middle ol thirteenth century and after 1232 , " referred to the
time of Bishop Bonchngton , who , I consider , was the builder of the beautiful Crypt , as well as of thc fine superincumbent Choir of Glasgow Cathedral , As to Masonic marks , alluded to in page 187 , these " marks" were simply the marks of the men who did the work , and we have no reason to
believe they had any more meaning in thc eyes o ) mediaeval Masons than the same " Mason's marks which are still cut by operative Masons of the present day on their tools have in the eyes of thc latter ; they simply show that a tool with a certain mark upon it belongs to the party who has chosen
said mark as his sign . As to Mr . Godwin ' s article in the Builder for March 27 , 186 9 , it is very interesting , but there need b * . nothing mysterious in the Masonicj way about it . I see Mr . Godwin ' s remark , " Glasgow Cathedral Crypt , 1175 to I 233 , '
is rather different from my idea , for I only begin the present Crypt at 1233 , so I am afraid he is mistaken . I am , yours fraternally , AA ' . P . BUCHAN .
AN APPEAL . ( To the Editor of The Freemason . ) DEAR SIR AND BROTHER , —I trust you will permit me a space in your widely-circulated paper to draw thc attention of the members of the Craft generally to the case of the AA ^ idow Thisclton , an appeal for whom appears in your advertising columns .
Brother dhiselton filled the important post of Secretary to the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys for the space of 37 years , the duties of which ( according to the last report of the committee ) he discharged with ability and integrity . I had the pleasure of working with our late brother ( as
collector to the institution ) , and can bear testimony to his anxious care for its welfare . The estate on which the noble building , the Boys' School , now stands was purchased some few years prior to his retirement from thc active duties of Secretary . All honour to those who have raised the present
structure , which will be pi otidly handed down to posterity as a lasting memento of Masonic excellence . But I think we must admit that some debt of gratitude is due to the memory of our late brother ( who was the pioneer in this great work ) , which thc brethren cannot discharge in any better way
than by placing his widow on the successful list at the next election of female annuitants , and thus render happy and comfortable the little time that is left to her among us . I shall be happy to receive proxies in her behalf , and trust : his appeal to the sympathy ofthe brethren will not be in vain .
I remain , dear Sir and and Brother , Yours fraternally , E . HARRIS . 75 , Nicliol ' s-squarc , Hackney-road .
HIRAM ABIF . ( To the Editor of The Freemason . ) DEAR SIR AND BROTHER , —I am obliged to " Pygmalion" for the desire he evinces to benefit me , and ' ¦ others of my mode of thought , " although I must confine my thanks to his desire , and not offer them for any benefit received . I have read
with care , not once or twice but many times , the article by Dr . Epstein , through which" Pygmalion " seeks to enlighten us , but 1 am nimble to discover anything in it but a repetition ofthe averment that Abif ' or Aviv , as Dr . Epstein capriciously writes it , is a proper name , and nothing else . I cannot conceive of any benefit lo be derived from a bare itera-

tion of an assertion , after one has given reasons for rejecting it , and having , as Dr . Epstein has shown , the Septuagint and vulgate and most other versions on one ' s side . If Dr . Epstein had written his article after perusing mine , 1 think he would have deemed it necessary to say something in reply
to my arguments , but as he had not seen them , I cannot accept his statement as of any value against my reasoning . He calls his article " A contribution to the antiquity of Masonry , " fancying that he has discovered it to date from before the translation of the Septuagint ( B . C . 283 ) , in thc introduction of
the word Abif into its ceremonial , whereas the Sept . translates the word by his father . As well might he argue that the German ancl Swedish versions of the Bible were made before the Septuagint , because they also retain the word Abif , and do not translate it . But Dr . Epstein not only
reasons very superficially and mconsequently , he writes very carelessly . He asks where Masons —if Masonry is post-Septuaginta — derived their correct translation of the original Aviv , or as 1 have , I believe , properly given it , Abiu ; the fact being that the word used in Masonry is not a
translation at all , but the untranslated word of the original with the arbitrary conversion of a v or u into f . Abi and Abiv , he pronounces to be translated " without any sense " and " ignorantly , " by the authors of the Septuagint , the vulgate , and " all modern versions , with few exceptions . " I have
a notion that the Hebrew and Greek scholars to whom w-e are indebted for the Septuagint are likely to have known as much of the Hebrew language and of the peculiarities of it , as this condemnatory critic does . No fault is to be found with Dr . Epstein for giving his judgment in favour of
retaining the original word Abiv or Abif , as we Masons have it ; but , surely , " Pygmalion , " who seems to have read my articles , was bound , as he hasthrownhimsclf into the controversy , to take some notice of what I had said in attempting to show , not only that there is good sense in the passages
of Kings and Chronicles , as translated by the Septuagint , the vulgate , and " all modern versions with few exceptions , " but to show , also , that thc translations had Hebrew usage in their favour . AA hy should " Pygmalion " throw Dr . Epstein ' s paper at me , when I had , by anticipation , shown all
he says to be without foundation , and in contradiction to nearly all the ancient and modern versions of thc Bible . Let me ask " Pygmalion " these two questions - . —( 1 . ) Will he favour me with any passage in the Old Testament , in which a Hebrew bears a second name , as we should say , a surname , as
Hiram Abif . ( 2 . ) AVhy is there more want of sense in making IIiramy ?*// . vto Solomon , than in making Joseph father to Pharaoh ( Gen . xiv . 8 ) ? or in Micah making the Levite his father ( Jud . xvii . 10 ) ? or : in Elisha making Elijah his father ( 2 Kings ii . 12 ) ? or in King Jehoram making Elisha his father
( 2 Kings vi . 21 )? or in Kingjoab doing the same thing ( 2 Kings xiii . 14 . ) Critics like Dr . Epstein ancl " Pygmalion " would seem to me quite unaware of the fact , that to confer the title of father on a a revered teacher , or on a favourite at court , was a common thing among the Hebrews , and that Hiram had attained to this honour or dignity at the
court of Solomon . If there could be any doubt about what was meant by the conferring of this title , father , by the Hebrews , it is made clear by comparing Gen . xiv . 8 , " He hath made me a father to Pharaoh , " with Chron . xii . 41—44 ; but I imagine that there will be no doubt in the minds of the majority of your readers .
