Lecture On "Light," By The Rev. Bro. Smyth, Belfast.
LECTURE ON "LIGHT , " BY THE REV BRO . SMYTH , BELFAST .
On Thursday evening , May 20 th , the Rev . Hugh Smyth , of White-house , delivered a lecture on "Light , " in the Ballysillan Presbyterian Church ( Rev . W * . C . M'Cullagh ' s ) , the proceeds of which are to be devoted to the Ligoniel Masonic Charity Fund . There was a very large attendance of members of
the Craft , the majority of whom wore the costume of the Brotherhood . On the motion of the Rev . Brother W . C . M'Cullagh , seconded by Brother John G . M'Gee , the chair was taken amid loud applause by . Bro . Wm . Johnston , Esq ., M . P ., of Ballykilbeg . The Rev . Lecturer was received with loud applause .
He said he had thrown the subject he had chosen into the form of a square , or rather of a quadrilateral figure , and would ask the attention of his audience to the subject " Light , " with respect to its functions in the material , social , ecclesiastical , and the Masonic worlds—if the latter could ba called a world . On
the first head be might go back beyond the boundaries of human existence to the creation of light as recorded in the Sacred Volume . There it was set forth , how the candle of the Lord had beeu lighted in the tabernacle of man when he was first introduced into his earthly home , making it a
gorgeously furnished and fitted up habitation . How changed from what it was before the gloomy , unbroken velitude and silence was made radiant with light and beaming with beauty ! Chaotic confusion fled away , and harmony and concord took its place . For deformity it put on beauty , and for disorder
rigorous regularity ; from a deep dungeon of impenetrable gloom it came forth as from a mirror , to reflect the greatness and glory , the majesty and dominion of Him who spake and all things stood fast . The lecturer then wenton to speak ofthe boon which light conferred upon humanity . The most fertile
imagination could suggest no possible improvement in it as a . gift . It was pure , free , and abundant ; universally diffused , equally distributed , and congenial to the eye . It was no respecter of persons , for it made its visits with equal regularity at the castle and the cottage , with the prince and the peasant . It was
always in men s pathway , yet it was never a stumbling-block in their way ; it went wherever it could find entrance however small , and yet it never occupied any room ; it rode upon the wind , aud quivered on the trembling leaf ; it danced on the surging sea , and sparkled in the morning dew drop ; it came to
nourish the fruits of the field , and to bestow its grateful smile on the tender flower-buds ; it enfolded the blushing rose in its tender embrace , and imparted to the lily its delicate tint ; decked the brow of nature with a chaplet of flowers , and invested her with that gorgeous summer robe she was so pleased to wear
upon each successive return of the season ; it planted its foot upon everything around it , and yet it never left the least trace behind it except in the subtle influences of health and life . ( Loud applause . ) It was one of the most potent agencies in the universe , and yet it never
wantonly broke a spider ' s web ; it was a sovereign in nature , and a servant withal ; it never refused to enter the service of any of the other creatures , however mean they might be ; aud however fickle it might appear to be , it was never known to betray confidence . It had millions of miles to travel , and
countless other worlds to visit , and yet it was never behind anywhere . When it crossed the threshold it was to bring joy and gladness to the upright in heart , for it was written that " weeping may endure for a night , but joy cometh in the morning . " Haviii' at ( ioni' 1 further liuurth considered the
functions of light m the material world , tho lecturer went on to deal with the second and third heads of his discourse , and after some eloquent nnd appropriate observations on these parts of the subject , he proceeded to the fouith and last—namely , its diffusion throughout the Masonic fraternity . He
defined what ancient craft Masonry meant , and what object it set before itself . It was " a system of morality veiled in allegory , and illustrated by symbols . " Its design was to teach morality , uot religion . It was a system alike unconnected with politics and religion , and it had thus been handed down
from generation to generation , and practised by all nations and kindred , aud people , who recognise the existence of God . ( Hear , hear . ) It necessarily touched religion , because morality and virtue , which it pretended to teach , were embraced in religion ; but it did not enter into the distinctive principles of
Christianity ; so that men of all shades of belief could unite in its rites , ceremonies , and practices , and for that reason it was a gross mistake to suppose that it could take the place of religion . The lecturer deprecated as a popular fallacy the notion that
Masonry was a secret society , and denied that there was any concealment about its fundamental principle or teaching . The only thing secret in tlie craft was what might be denominated the accidents of the society , and these wcrenecessary for its proper discipline and order . Bro . Smyth concluded amid loud applause .
