Address Of The V. H. And E. Sir Kt. Col. W. J. B. Macleod Moore, Of The Grand Cross Of The Temple, Grand Prior Of The Dominion Of Canada,
pose the Temple Order has in view , or what it is incumbent , in conformity with our professions , that we should do . We , who call ourselves " Soldiers of the Cross , " surely have a higher aim and far different mission than that of vain shows
and public display . Our professions call upon us unmistakeably to do something that will redound to the glory of God and to the assistance and happiness of our fellow men . In short , every Preceptory should be a place where the poor , the needy , the sick and the oppressed can look for relief , sympathy and assistance . Let our Preceptories spend but little in
decorations and entertainments , in order that there may be funds to spare for those purposes , then the object of the founders of these great Christian orders will be accomplished , and our order be doing something worthy of remembrance . Without such aims we are nothing , our
Christianity is but dust and ashes , our boasted chivalry as rust . Fratres ! Knights of the Temple ! with all loyalty to our gracious Queen and Grand Master , whom God preserve , I am ever , in the bonds of the order ,
Faithfully yours , W . J . B . MACLEOD MOORE , G . C . T ., Great Prior of Canada .
Masonry Everywhere.
MASONRY EVERYWHERE .
ON the broad arch'd sky , when the Queen of Night Goes forth in robes of peerless white ; Or the sun breaks out from his golden shroud , When the storm has passed on the thunder
cloud ; Mid the starry host , when they wander forth As sentinels bright o ' er the sleeping earth ; Where the comets wander through fields of air ,
On their lonely rounds , there is Masonry there . Abroad on the waves of the deep blue sea , Where the tempests sport in their wildest glee ;
Masonry Everywhere.
And the wild albatross m its far-off home , Like a storm-king sits on the wild sea foam : Or the placid waves of the rolling deep Have quieted down in their Summer ' s sleep , And these amancalm'd ' neath the tropic ' s
, , glare , Woos the cooling breeze—there is Masonry there . In the curtained halls of the lofty lord , Where the jewels and wealth of the world
are stored ; In the poor man ' s cot by some silent stream , Where the wild wood stands in its spreading green ; On the mountain ' s brow , in the balmy deep , In the throbbing pulseor on beauty ' s
, cheek , In the insect ' s home , in the lion ' s lair , On earth , sea , or sky—there is Masonry there . Masonic Record .
