The "Morning Advertiser" And Freemasonry.

sine damno alterius non potest . " Does Freemasonry represent any such picture , any such wretchedness ? No ; even your correspondent admits " there are excellent points in Freemasonry . " In Masonry there is neither "first nor last ; " there is neither strongest nor weakest , "highest nor lowest . " There are only brethren—all equal , all wishing the welfare of one another , all united to enjoy tbe pleasure and happiness of rectifying each

other's hearts , of edifying each other's minds , and of promoting , as much as possible , the social virtues of charity , goodwill , ancl harmony among themselves and in the world at large . In conclusion , Sir , let me beg of your correspondent to remember that no human being is or can be perfect now while tabernacling this " vale of tears "—Vitiuin sequimur virtutem fugimus . Such is the moral blindness of man ; but we may learn

to discriminate between what is lawful and what is expedient , striving to better our species hy each avoiding that which is evil and doing that which is well . Permit me , Sir , to apologise for thus troubling you , and allow me to remain , Yours , & c , Walbrook , June 25 , 1869 . C . HOSGOOD .
