The True Accepted Masons.

one day enter into Gods eternal light ; there shall be gathered into that glorious temple , of which we form the shadow upon earth—of the noiseless architecture of which , the building of the First Temple upon earth without noise of axe , or hammer , was the type ; these , into that Glorious Temple shall be

gathered of all nations , tribes , and tongues ; in a fraternity , which no jarring discord shall disturb ; in a bond of love , which nothing shall sever ; where type and shadow shall be dissolved in reality ; where the incommunicable name shall be revealed ; where every mystery shall be unveiled ; where the Great

Architect of the Universe shall display face to face , His Majesty , and might , and wisdom , and poAver , and where the Holy Trinity shall reign , visibly , eternally glorious , when heaven and earth , the architect of the Universe , shall have been burnt up as a scroll , and shall have passed away for ever .

THE TEMPLARS "CRUSADE . "—An invitation has been extended by the Earl of Sharewsbury and Talbot , to Allegheny Commandery , No . 35 , to be present ab a Masonic re-union and fete at Alton Towers , tbe princely seat of the Earl of Shrewsbury , on the 4 th of July next , tbe day that our Allegheny Sir Knights invade England .

The letter further informs Sir Knight Jenkins , to whom it was addressed , that if accepted , the Earl -will invite delegations from all tbe lodges in tho midland district to be present to receive their American brethren .- —Voice of Masonry .

The Grand High Priest of the Grand Chapter of Minnesota in his annual address says : — " I have observed Avith regret , that in many cases , Companions Avho have spent a few years in official positions in Chapter , and Lodge also , as soon as they are superseded in office , ceaso to take any interest in Masonry . They shoAv by their

actions , that they become Masons in order that they might be recipients of the honours conferred by the Craft , rather than from the desire " to be good and to do good , " Avhich should be the ruling motive of every Mason . The humblest , ' ' high private in the rear rank " of our Masonic Army should i'oei that he lias a duty to perform ,

equal in importance to that of the highest official in tho Grder , and should do it . And the ex-official should ivork as hard alter falling back into tbe ranks , as he did before in gaining his official position . "

TUT Kentucky Masonic Orphan ' s Home is now open for the admission of beneficiaries , and the Masonic Lodges of the State have been requested to elect ono

committeeman in each county , who are requested to divide themselves into committees in each Congressional District . All applications for admission are to be made to the committee thus formed , and upon their recommendation the Board of Directors will receive them into the Home .

may interest our numerous Colonial subscribers : — " In accordance with a widely expressed opinion that great advantages would ensue from more frequent meetings of Colonists resident in England , to which gentlemen interested in distant dependencies might be invited , arrangements have been made for holding four

dinners during the present Spring and Summer at which your attendance is invited . They will take place on the last Fridays of the months of April , May , June and July . The first will be held at Willis ' s Rooms , on Friday , the 28 th instant , at 7 o ' clock ; and it has been suggested that the dinner in May might be held at tha

Star and Garter , Richmond ; that in June at the Crystal Palace , and that in July at Greenwich , Woolwich or Blackivall . A considerable number of gentlemen con . nected with the Colonies have given their assent to the proposal , and as the number of Tickets will necessarily be limited , an early intimation of your willingness tes

join the Association , and the number of tickets you might probably wish for , Avill be desirable . The price of the tickets Avill be about One Guinea each , and application may be directed to A . R . Roche , Esq ., Hon . Sec . of the Royal Colonial Institute , 26 , Suffolk Street , Pall Mall East . "

THE following language , used by AY . Bro . Henry Clark , of the Grand Lodge of Yermont , is worthy of permanent record : "Another feature is apparent Avhich we hail as a good omen , and it is the disposition to condemn in severe terms , and even to legislate against the prostitution of

Masonry to purposes of private gain , and the display of Masonic emblems upon signs , of advertisements of any character . Some Grand Lodges havo even gone so far as to prohibit the wearing , as an article of jewellery , of any of the emblems of the Craft . This is , perhaps , severe , and in our judgment is not called for , except in

extreme cases . There can be nothing , however , more distasteful to a sensible Mason , or ought to put the Craft more on the guard against imposition , than to ascertain that Masonry is used as a stepping-stone to influence trade , or conserve schemes of purely private aud personal ends . There is none Avho should be more positively shunned than he who would make merchandise of Masonry .
