Monthly Masonic Summary.
Monthly Masonic Summary .
WE have not a great deal to report of Afasonic doings at home or abroad . Most of the London Lodges are in recess , and our Metropolitan dull time of Freemasonry lias set in .
THE Soman Catholic attacks on Freemasonry are becoming almost as bad-in England as in other countries . Indeed the language of the"Westminster Gazette" passes the bounds of all
habitual decorum and , courtesy , and is a sad commentary on the charity and good feeling of a religious body , which permits such unseemly attacks upon our loyal , intelligent and peaceful order .
An article in July 11 , is one of the most offensive which ever lias issued from the Catholic press ; offensive not from any weight or point of its own , but offensive from its sheer vulgarity
and utter debasement of thought and feeling . Happily Freemasonry cares little for such attacks , and can afford to treat
Uiem and pass them by with supreme indifference and calm contempt ! IN Italy we hear that Freemasonry Js advancing , and that 80 Lodges are
now under the Italian Grand Orient , or Grand Lodge . We cannot see why Grand Lodges should not call themselves Grand Lodges . There is no practical or specially
appropriate meaning in the word " Grand Orient , " and the French Grand Orient would , we venture to think hi all respects do much better if she telmed herself " La Grande Lnge de la France . "
THE Italian Freemasons will do welb if only they will but eschew political discussions and religious controversies , leave the " Negri" alone , and develope the true teaching of our tolerant order , in deeds of charity and labours of love .
OUR worthy and indefatigable Bro , Hughan is about to issue a most interesting account of the " Union " in 1813 , called the "Memorials of the Masonic Union in 1813 , together with
the Constitutions of 1815 . " We feel , as Alasonic students and " litterateurs , " how much we owe to his zealous labours , in common with that faithful little band of Alasonic
writers and archaeologists , both in England and America , which has now for some years toiled to illustrate and explain , to correct and verify our Masonic history and traditions . EDITOR E
