SECRET SOCIETIES . From Carlow Sentinel of 31 st May , 1856 . The following instructive note has appeared in Saunders . *—" Sir , —Pray oblige by informing the people of Dublin that Masonry is prohibited by the Roman Catholic Archbishop . You are aware that brotherly love , relief of the destitute , and truth , are distinctive marks of the Craft ; and those who are admitted to the Order are expected to be just and upright , free men ,
of mature age , sound judgment , and strict morals . Although , no doubt , the Archbishop is also aware of this , ' and that the Craft is truly faithful to its profession , yet I have just received a little tract , published by Richardson and Son , Capelstreet , signed thus : i Imprimatur , Paulus Cullen , Archiepiscopus Dublinensis . ' This tract is set forth as ' What every Christian must know / In page 46 it is stated that Mortal sin makes us lose the grace and friendship of God , and burn
for ever in the fire of hell . ' Again , in page 44 , ' It is a mortal sin to be a member of a secret and forbidden society , such as societies of Freemasons . ' Here we are to receive , according to this divine , that Freemasons are to ' burn for ever in the tire of hell . ' I trust , sir , that no Mason is so weak as to give heed to his dogmatic presumption . —I am , sir , your obedient servant ,
"IMi May , 1856 . " "One of the Craft . It does not appear that any good " Masons" have taken fright at this conflagatory decree from " Paulus Cullen , Archiepiscopus " in Nubibus . And they show sense . They are not a perch nearer Pluto because Dr . Cullen has consigned them to that entertaining gentleman .
But we have to ask a question , and it is this , —Why does not Dr . Cullen condemn to flame and brimstone a certain society called The Ribbon ? It is , we suppose , quite an innocent affair , compared with the graceless compact of Freemasonry If Dr . Cullen is to be considered the patron of the evil he omits to censure , then Captain Rock and his merrie men are archiepiscopally booked for Elysium . — Evening Packet .
FREEMASONS FEMALE ORPHAN SCHOOL . A general meeting of the Governors of this Institution was held on Wednesday at the Grand Lodge-room , Freemasons' Hall , Dame-street , Dublin , for the purpose of distributing the prizes to the children of the school .
