partakers Of all privileges, Divine and human.
The proseIytes OF the Gate were Gentes, who
were admitted to the worship Of God OF Israel,
and the hopes of future life, but who were
not Circumcised. These Proselytes although
permitted to worship in the Temple, could not
enter the same Court with the Prosclytes of the
Covenant, but were deemed uncean and
special Court assigned to them, called the
"Court of the Gentilcs"-thev had a distinct
place were the law was expounded to them,
they were not denizens of Jerusalem. In the
New Testament, Proselytes of the Covenant
are called merly Proselytes, and Proselytes Of
the Gate are called worshppcrs; and it isa
curious fact, and but little known, that the frs,
prosely,es to Christianity were the Proseytes
OF the Gate. Their condition being free and
unconstrained, merely semi Jews, the transition
10 another faith was easy and natural, and as
they were most numerous in the Roman State.
they were the first cause of the spreading of
the Gospel; although Jesus of Nazareth never
addressed himself to them, but always To his,
brethren who, like himself, were born Jews,

The seren precepts eCMc sons of Noah, of
which as you say, Masonry knows only of
three commonly called the Noahchides, are as
follows:
|. A remuneration Of all idols;
IL. The worship of the true and only God ;
III. To commit no murder
Nv. Not to be defled by incest;
V. To avoid rspine, theft and robbery;
vi. To administer justice;
VII. Not to eat flesh with blood in it.
This was the Common Law that prevailed
from the time that Noah left the ark until the
arrival o. the Jews at the foot of Mount Sinai.
The law Of Moses is the codification Of the Com.
mon Law, as given by the sons o. Noah, ampIl-
fed, extended and made 10 apply in Justice and
IN mercy, in good faith and principle, to the
whole civilized world which now live under
those laws, with some immaterial local amend.

power, il could be delivered here at 81 so per ton
The mines that will be opened on the route Of
the contemplated road, will have from Is to 30
miles to the Pottsville market. Many of these
mines have breast of 500 feet above low water
level, while the quantity of coal per acre is said
TO be from three TO five times greater than that
of the Schuylkill county region. The facilities
for mining are therefore greater and would enable

anterior provisions; 80 that, if, in defiance OF my
orders, the payment was made in bill. or drafts,
that func'ionary violated his duties by disobey.

Voss was not less guilty in receiving, as he
Received, according to what you say, the amount
in paper. At that same period dictated, in
