The society known by the name of
Free Masons, is so called because they
who first established it understood build
ing and masonry or perhaps the first
principles of it were laid down by Masons.
But whatever may have been the origin,
they are now very numerous, and there
is scarcely any country where there are
not Free Masons. They trace their orr
gin from the building of solomon's Tenn
Die: and this, of all the circumstances
which relate to their society. is the only
thing they are permitted to eommuni-
cate.
Notwithstanding the cloud which enve-
lopes the proceedings of this society, it
appears they attend to manners & theip
secret is, by acts Of disintercstedness. &C.
nerosity & kindness, to fasten those bonds
which ought to unite mankind. If these
be the principles of Free Masonry, the
place in which they meet should be consi-,
dered as the Temple Of Friendship, at the
gate of which is the God of Silence.

'sThe world is dissipatcd, thoughtless,
fond Of pomp and display. and devoted to
what it calls pleasure; and often it seeks
its pleasure from what is frausht with
wichedness. Yet it would veil all with
the accommodating names of harmless
qualifications. innocent amusements. All
this is, at the best, s. the pomps and cant
ty of this wicked world - often it is much
worse. The Christian renounces it all

has to provide, in the few short years of
life, for everlasting e,cistence!! for sim

very thing which constitutes Christian:
and, for the man who is leading such
life, there are thousand subsidiary plea

innocent and virtuous pleasures-to be
