THE LAST ROMAN CATHOLIC DELIVERANCE . To the Editor of the "Freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother , Permit me to call the attention of your readers to the accompanying summary of Roman Catholic intolerance , as it appears in the Standard of Monday last : "I have before me an early copy of the Latin text of the Encyclical against Masonry . It is a long document , and would

occupy about 10 columns of the Standard . After citing sundry declarations of the Church 3 gainst Masonry , the Pope asserts that the Order is equally hostile to civil society and religion . He declares that various other sects of Socialists and Communists are , if not formally united to Masons , yet of a similar nature , equally pernicious and equally partaking of the nature of secret societies . The Pope observes , however , that what he has said of these sects is not to be taken as said of every member of either of them , since many , though not withotlt fault in having

given their names to such societies , may be deceived as to their objects . He then stigmatises the error of naturalism , and the prevalent indifferentism between one form of faith and another , which is fatal to all religion . The doctrine of equality among men , true enough in one sense , is , in the sense given to it , destructive of all authority and of civil society . The one object of Masonry , Socialism , and Communism is the subversion of all civil society , and the vigour

° t the attack requires a similar determination in defence , the Pope concludes by recommending increased action on the part of the Bishops , that especial attention should be given to the young , and the employment of the Third Order of St . Francis as a means of action on the masses . " „ S n # y P > ng we ought perhaps to wait for the entire Bull or " Allocution , " but I always think " forewarned " is " forearmed . " —Fraternally yours , ANTI-INTOLERANCE .

THE MAY ELECTIONS . Dear Bro . Kenning , — Permit me in the Freemason to thank many kind friends for Boys' and Girls' votes , which have enabled mc to carry the cases I was interested in , and even help others . May I ask any who have Old Men's and Widows' votes to spare , to supplement their fraternal consideration by sending them to me nt once ?—Fraternally yours , A . F . A . WOODFORD . 25 A , Norfork-terrace , Hyde Park , VV .

OUR LODGE NUMERATION . To the Editor of the "Freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother , Would not the present be an appropriate time for the revision of the list of lodges , so far as they numerically stand ? I find in looking through the Calendar that there arc 151 warrants unaccounted for , the first being No . 17 then 4

, ranging between 100 and 20055 , 300 and 400 ; 9 from 40010500 ; 19 between 500 and 600 ; 23 , 600 and 700 ; 13 , 700 and Soo ; 19 , Soo and goo ; 15 , 900 and 1000 ; y , 1000 and 1100 ; 13 , 1100 and 1200 ; 5 from 1200 and 1300 ; 3 between 1300 and 1400 ; S , 1400 and 1500 ; 3 , 1500 and 1 O 00 ; one number 1 G 06 ; and lastly No . 1 S 66 , consecrated so recently as the year tSSo . if so many lodges arc

Masomcally dead , why not let the numbers of the respective lodges be revised , and a new and correct number given to each lodge , we should then have a reliable list and find the Crook Lodge held at Durham to be No . tS 6 S , and not as now represented , No . 2013 . —I am , dear sir and brother , yours fraternally , JOHN VV . TURNER . Huddersfield , April 23 .

Masonic Notes And Queries.

Masonic Notes and Queries .

SEVENTEENTH CENTURY FREEMASONRY IN 327 J . ENGLAND . In 1652 , six years after his initiation at Warrington , Elias Ashmole published his "Theatrum Chcmicum Britannicum , " and which was a collection of " Hermetic mysteries" in poetic form of " our famous English philosophers . " They are 30 in number , and among them is "The Ordinal of Alchcmy ( " b y Thomas Norton , <>( Bristol . This was then lirst published from the MS ., and Ashmole seems to have seen several copies . In the " Proem "

Norton mentions ' * Free Masons , " whom he evidently considers " artificers , " but claims as students of Hcrmcttcism He professes to have written his work in 1 . 177 , and if that date be correct wc have a recognition of the "Craft " body in the fifteenth century . Elias Ashmole , who edited this work , and was himself initiated in 1 C 4 C , does not in his notes ( so far as I can see ) allude to the Freemasons : but

we have thus in 1652 another allusion to the Free Masons . Thomas Norton , about whom there is much uncertainty , is said to have been a pupil of Ripley . Ho calls himself " a perfect master , " and it has occurred to me again , as it has often before , that in the High Grades wc may have a curious reproduction of the terminology and nomenclature of the Hermetic Societies . MASONIC STUDENT .

32 S [ HISTORIC MEMORIES OF YORK . Bro . J . Marshall , of Sowerby Bridge , Halifax , has published recently a most interesting little Album , entitled " Historic Memories of York . " The work is composed of a series of photographs illustrating the antiquities of York , accompanied with letterpress illustrations . The photographs are taken by Bro . Alfred Rogers ,

Manningham , Bradford , and our well-known Bro . T . B . Whytehead , of York , has supplied the preface and the descriptions . Wc entirely approve of the idea of the book , and think Bro . J . Marshall , P . M ., deserves the thanks of all Masonic students and arch ; eoiogists for the thoughtful ness and zeal he has displayed in the arrangement and production of the work . In 1 SS 3 the members of the Apollo

Commandery visited York , and received a right Masonic reception . This , not the lirst pleasant visit of our American brethren , Bro . Marshall thought well to perpetuate in some form , and at the same time to remind American and English brethren of that real link of Masonic heartiness , sympathy , and unity which draws together in one golden chain of friendship and

fraternity American and English Freemasons . And as we think that others besides our gwod friends in America may wish to preserve this agreeable Souvenir of pleasant visits , as well a graceful and artistic Masonic Album , wc call the attention of our readers to the subject , thanking Bro . Marshall for inviting our attention to his very effective work , and

hoping it is not his last contribution towards the illustration of Masonic history and arch .-eology . Of old , York seems to have been a mystic centre of Freemasonry ; to-day we owe to a band of students there much gratitude for zeal , energy , and discoveries in the too long neglected history and antiquities of our common and useful Order .

A . F . A . W . 320 ] THE WHITE ROSE OF YORK . 1 have been looking into the question asked by " Masonic Student" under this heading , but can find nothing to justify the legend . The emblem of the White Rose from very early periods up to the present day has been adopted by all sorts of Yorkshire societies and clubs , Masonic and otherwise ; but , as I believe , without any authority or reason , save that the ( lower was the badge of the House of York .
