received by Brother Masons . Although a young Mason , he had had some experience ; he had visited Lodges from New York to New Orleans ; he had been in parts of the States , where he found that in towns that did not number a hundred white men , still there was to be found a Mason ' s Lodge . The warrant of the Montgomery Lodge came originally fexm England ; and during the period of the
revolution ^ it travelled from place to place until it nnally settled in Philadelphia . At the present time , at least one third of its members were Englishmen , merchants of Philadelphia . It was therefore natural that he should feel some Masonic warmth in visiting a Lodge in the old world . He was pleased to tell them that Freemasonry was flourishing throughout the length and breadth of the land , and that he was
convinced , after the trial it had gone through in the United States , there was no power but One that could prostrate Masonry . He observed in the working there were some variations , but the cardinal points were the same in the old and newworlds . The kind reception he had received would never be effaced from his lnemory , andhe assured the Brethren that among the pleasurable recollections of his Masonic life would be his visit to the Neptune Lodge .
