Portal , it will be a matter of grief to some AVIIO Avish to think ivell of Lord Carnarvon , to see in your last week ' s number his correspondence with Bro . Havers . I would hope that the letters bearing his Lordshi si not
p ' s gnature are really Ins own , but the production of the clerical Brother whose style they so much resemble . To adopt the noble Brother ' s own phrase , " his words , and still more his manner of . saying them , " stand in very unfavourable contrast to the courteous and straightforward letters of Bro . Havers ; whilst thc ringing the changes on undefined charges is not quite creditable , though very common of late with member of this
every party . I can only attribute to his youth and inexperience the unmasonic style ot the noble Brother's address , and recommend him to read the Antient Charges ( . No . VI 3 ) On behaviour out of Lodge , " where he will find , ana i trust profit by , the folloiving recommendation : - " You are to salute one another in a courteous manner , calling each other Brother , Avithout derogating from that respect which is due to
any Brother ; for though all Masons are , as Brethren , upon the same level , yet Masonry takes no honour from a man that he had before ; nay , rather ' it adds to his honour , especially rf he has deserved well of the Brotherhood , ivho must give honour to whom it is due , and avoid ill manners .
