Language Of Masonry.

Would it be natural that a recollecbion of these lessons —that a recurrence to these principles- * -that a re-opening of the sacred books of the law in which are inculcated peace and love , honesty and truth , would produce evil fruits in the conduct of those who read them ? Every intelligent person knows this would not be tho resultevery intelligent Mason knows that it is not . On the

contrary , under the light of these facts , we may see how Masonry becomes the great harmoniser of the world . Masons , travelling from place to place , become missionaries of charity and ministers of goodwill- Having assumed the vows of love and charity , they go forth , wherever their destination , conveying the principles conveyed in that language which has no word to inculcate wrong ,

which has no syllable to express hate , which could not frame , to pronounce aright , a sentence opposed to tho welfare of mankind . Such language cannot be used for evil , since it can only enunciate good . Masonry has no language for cursing . Its vocabulary is fitted for Gerizim , rather than Ebal- Ib was cradled in wisdom , nursed by charity , and

has been supported by the good iu all ages and countries ; and yeb the langnuge of a sacred writer , uaed on a similar occasion , is not misapplied when written in reference to Masonry : "Rather shall they which goby say , the blessing of the Lord bo upon thee . AVe bless thee , in the name of the Lord . " But wo have this lor our encouragement : Our mysterious language has

survived a thousand times more potent enemies than those which now array themselves against it . In every encounter it has come oft' conquorev ; and now , with a slight reservation , we may adopt the words of the Hebrew language , and say that "the earth is of one language and one speech , " since Masonic language is universal . —Landmark .
