THE THEOLOGY OF FREEMASONRY.
Freemasons, especially English Freemasons, are at
this moment very sorely agitates!. Freemasonry, it
seems, is "passing through a crisis-so at least the
Freetna.sonic journals assure us—almost as serious as
that which threatened it when Lord Ripon resipineil
the Grand Mastership of England. His Lordship, it
, may be remembered, became, a few years ago, a
Roman Catholic, very much to the astonishment of
the general public ; and at the same time that his con-
version was made known, it was also announced that,
inasmuch as Freemasons lie under the anathema
the holy R man Catholic Church, he felt that he I
could not conscientiously remain a mernber 4 the ,
Order. People generally were much distressed that
on English Marquis should abjure the faith of his
fathers. Freemasons in particular did not like to lose
their Grand Master. We ventured to point out at
the time that, in our humble jtil;,-ment, neither
calamity was irreparable. We au,ggested that a man
who will waste in idle ritual and absurd ceremonies
the amount sf time necessary to qualify him to become
1 Grand Master of England, iii exactly the kind of
person also would be likely to become a Roman
Cathidic at a moment's notice. The follies that are
gone the iugh in " lodge ;" the vestments : the forms;
the posturing. ; the elaborate litanies, wish answers
and responses in which everybody has to take his part,
from the Maste • down to the Outer Guard, and in
which we believe the refrain, 'so mote it be," does
duty for "Lord hate mercy upon us r these and other
