Metropolitan Masonic Meetings

FAITH LODGE OF INSTRUCTION . — The above Lodge of Instruction is held every Tuesday evening at 8 o ' clock , in the spacious and commodious rooms at Bro . Fisher ' s Restaurant , Metropolitan District Railway Station , Victoria , S . W . Ceremonies and

lectures worked every Tuesday , except the fourth Tuesday in the month , when the ceremonies alone are rehearsed . The DOMATIC CHAPTER OF IN- ' STRUCTION is also held in the above rooms every Friday evening , at 8 o ' clock , from . October until April inclusive .

EQUALITY . —In no society is this more practised than in the Order of Freemasons , for we are all brethren , and it is said that amongst brethren there must be the most perfect equality . But this word may be misunderstood : we are not all equal in the lodge , inasmuch as some are appointed to rule and govern , so it is the duty . of others cheerfully and promptly to obey , and all are

equally eligible to be elected to those offices , having first duly performed our duties as private members , and thus enabled to fill them with credit to ourselves and satisfaction to the Craft . We are not all equal by creation with respect to our mental faculties , and more especially we are not all equal in the labour which we have , or ought to have , bestowed upon cultivating those mental faculties

- to the utmost possible extent . But we ought all of us to be equally zealous in the discharge of our duties as men and Masons , ancl should all prove ourselves to he perfectly equal in the zeal of our fraternal affection for each other . To be equal to each other in brotherly love is the principal thing which ought to be understood in our equality . We dare not for one moment lose sight of the rank or

station which each individual brother fills in society , yet there may be at the same time a perfect equality amongst men of the most opposite social ranks in the desire to promote every useful work ; and this equality will produce the most beneficial effect upon the human heart .

Any Mason who would dare to attempt among the brethren to claim the precedence which his conventional position in society would give him , would disgrace the philosophy of the Order , and by so doing lay a sacrilegious hand upon that sacred bond by which we are indissolubly united to each other . —Gadicke .

AT our introduction into Masonry , we seek for an able guide to conduct us from this dark state of human life into light , and when arrived at that desired point , we are struck with the symbolic representations before us ; and under promise of fidelity we begin our career in this secret society of Free and Accepted Masons . We emerge gradually from the lowest vale , and by study arrive at the

highest degree of the occult science , or to the greatest mental perfection . —Iluscnbcth . REPORT of Dr . Arthur Hill Hassall , Analyst of the " Lancet" Sanitary Commission , Author of " Food and its Adulterations , " & c ., & c , on Mayar ' s Semolina : " I have carefully tested , chemically and microscopically , the samples of Semolina sent by Messrs . L . Mayar & Co .,

36 , Mark Lane , London , E . C I find them to be perfectly genuine , of excellent quality , and eminently nutritious . They contain a very large percentage of nitrogenous matter , chiefly gluten , and are far more nutritious than any other food , such as Arrowroot , Tapioca , Sago , Corn Flour , Farinaceous Food , ordinary Wheat Flour , or

any of the Cereals in use as food in this country . — ( Signed ) ARTHUR IIlU . IUSSALI ., M . D ., London . " . - Highly recommended by the Faculty for Infants , Invalids , & c . Makes delicious Pudding , Custards , Blanc Mange , & c . After a trial no family will be without Mayar ' s Semolina .

HOLLOWAY ' S PILLS . —Delicate Health . —In the debility , l .-uiguor , generated by excess of any kind , whether menial or physical , the effect of . these Pills isin the highest degree bracing , ren-JVatiiTK , and restorative . They drive from the system the morbid causes of disease , ' . whether ils _ origin he eminent or its situation undiscovcrahlc ; they re-establish the digestion , regulate all the secretions , quiet the nervous system , raise lhe patient ' s spirits , and

brins back the frame to its pristine health and vigour . Holloway ' s Pills increase the appetite , while they secure perfect digestion to all ordinary food , and release the invalid from restraint in diet , in a word , whatever the cause of decline , these Pills place the patient in the position most favourable to recovery . —fAdvt . J CROSBY ' S BALSAMIC COUGH ELIXER — Opiates Narcotics , and Squills arc too often invoked to give relief in Couuhs ,

Colds , and all Pulmonary diseases . ^ Instead of such fallacious remedies , which yield momentary relief at the expense of enfeebling the digestive organs aud thus increasing that debility which lies at the root of the malady , modern science points to Crosby ' s llalsamic Cough Elixer , as the true remedy . — Select Testimonial . Dr . Rooke , Scarborough , author of the '' Anti-Lancet , '' says : "I have repeatedly observed how vcrv rapidly and invariably it subdued cotitrh .

Pain , and irritation of the chest in cases of pulmonary consumption , and i can , with the greatest confidence , recommend it as a most valuable adjunct to an otherwise strengthening treatment for this disease . " —This medicine , , which is free from opiuinand squills , not only allays the local irritation , but improves digestion and strengthens the constitution . Hence it is used with the most signal success in

Asthmas , llroncbitis , Consumption , Coughs , Influenza , Night Sweats of Consumption , Quinsy , and all affections of the throad and chest . Sold by all respectable Chemists and Patent Medicine Dealers , in bottles at is . od ., 4 s . C < d . aud us cacl-, and wholesale by J . M . Cjiosny , Chemist , Scarborough .
