I trust I shall lie able to evince , by constant attention to your

Masonic interests , that I . am duly sensible of the value of your good opinion , and while I thank you for this expression thereof , allow me to say , that we have but one end in view , ivhich is the cultivation and improvement of the mind ; and while we take a retrospect of the great and many changes whieh time has wrought amongst us , realized in the mode of transit and the means of communication—while by the aid of steam man has almost been able to grasp the poles , and by the instantaneous action of electricity , to bound his thoughts and wishes over

time and space—yet the principles of Freemasomy have not so changed with time , for its attributes and perfections were still the same , for time has only shewn that the virtues of our ancestors can be prized and revered by the present generation . You will , I am sure , all be willing witnesses to the truth that with us kindness ,-md affection preponderate , aud that the great principles of our Order—brotherly love , relief , ancl truth , have ever been the guiding stars of the United Mariners' Lodge .

duties ; he should endeavour to carry them out to the best of his ability .
