Doncastek . — St . George ' s Lodge ( No . 292 ) .- —On Tuesday evening , September 26 th , the Brethren of this Lodge met at the Town Hall , when Bro , George Brooke , the W . M ., passed two Brethren to the 2 nd Degree . In the course of the evening a highly interesting and instructive lecture on the history and principles of Freemasonry was delivered by one of the Brethren . He commenced by referring to Masonry as existing from the earlier ages , even from the creation of
the world . ^ He described the nature of the three Degrees in Masonry , and their relationship to architecture , geometry , the arts and sciences , general literature , & c . He also referred to the time when Masonry was introduced into the West by Pythagoras , about 800 years before Christ ; and he went on at great length to describe the nature and principles of Masonry . The title of Knights Templar he described as a misnomer , the word being properly " night , " as
referring to those Masons who were night watchers at the building of Solomon ' s Temple . He showed Masonry to be not a mere club , met for mere worldly purposes , but a holy order , for hearing , teaching , and doing good , and for instruction in love to God and man . In conclusion , the lecturer called upon the younger Brethren to remember their initiation ceremony , and not to trample Masonry under foot by treating it in a light and frivolous manner .
