''IT has been said, that Masonry
IS truly the sister Of religion for
she boasts her efficacy in all it's ma
tive influence, and is constantly the
assistant promoter Of like principles
and like actions. The central point
Of al her inrum cradle lines, squares
and circles, is the love Of God and
upon this central point she builds
her faith from it she derives her
hope Of glory here and hereafter !;
and by 1t she squares her conduct
in strict justice and universal chart
ty. The central point Of all true
Masonry is the love Of Cod The
Holy Bible is acknowledged by the
craft to be our Spiritual, Moral and
Masonic Irestle Board. Jehovah,
the Supreme Grand High Priest,
has drawn thereon the perfect
character, and gives it to US for our
guidance in cur work. The law of
God, as revealed in tie Bible, is
the Moral Law Of Freemasonry. -

AFTERNOON SESSION OF THE RELIGIOUS Con-
vENTIoN.-Fhe Convention met at B o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
The following resolution was submitted by
the Rev. Mr.. Stevenson
ReSOlUed. That Government being Gods or
dinance instituted not only for the good of
the people, but also for the glory of God and
for the establishment of His authority in our
world, it should only be administered by men
who are the friends of God and the faithful
subjects of His rule; and, therefore, for Chris
tian men to entrust the reins of government
to the hands of ungOdly, profane, corrupt, and
intemperate men, the known enemies OF the
Ruler whose authority they exercise, is to be
unfaithful to the cause of God and the best
interests of mankind. Gas a roaring lion and
a raging bear so is a wicked ruler over the
poor people" The resolution, after some
discussion, was adopted.
The following was submitted
Resolved That all objections to the prin-
ciples set forth in the Constitu-
tional Amendments we propose, rest
ing upon the prohibition of all religious tests
in the Constitution, and Of the establishment
of national religion, do assume that the
nation, as such, should know no God-an
assumption which is repudiated by the ablest
expOunders of the Constitution.
The resolution after some discussion, was
voted down.
In the evening addresses upon the sub
iects embraced in the resolutions We're
made by the Revs. DR.. Sloan, of New
York, Milligan, of Pittsburg, and others.

quite a number OF practical engineers were
present. j. V. Merrick presided, and Pro-
fessOr Morton acted as Secretary. The minutes
Of the preceding meeting were read and
approved, after which the ordinances sub
mitted in committee OF Councils by Colonel

tary. The meeting then proceeded to com
pare the ordinances and act upon them by sec
tions. The title of the proposed bill was
agreed upon, as folows:-An ordinance
organizing department for inspecting steam

amendment to the first section of Colonel
Pages ordinance, as follows: - "That the
Mayor shall appoint an advisory commission,
to consist of five persons, either practically
engaged in manufacturing steam engines and
boilers or scientific experts familiar with their
management whose duty it shall be to ex-
anime candidates for the Office of Chief In
spector of Steam Engines and Boilers.
The amendment was agreed to.
That part of the ordinances in reference to
the requirements of the Chief Inspector was
so amended so as to read, 'That he shall be
a practical mechanic of scientific abilities, and
shall have control and oversight over all the
officers connected with the department, who
shall have been appointed by him and ap-
proved by the Mayor"
The second section of Mr.. Evans ordinance
was then discussed, and on motion, amended
as follOws:-"The Chief Inspector shall ap-
point, with the approval of the Mayor and the
advisory commission, four assistant inspectors,
who shall be experienced and practical me-
chanics in the construction and management
of steam engines and boilers, and shall be
capable of making all necessary calculations
and directions"
The other sections of the bill were not acted
upon, and the meeting adjourned to reassem-
ble on Monday evening.
