The Gible4ites vere the people Of
Gebal or GiblOs, city on the coast of
Phunicia, between TIipoi and Berytus,
called Byblos by the Greeks and RO-
mans, now known by the name Of Jib-
lab. At the present time il is but little
more than q mass Of ruins, which are
sufficiently magnificent TO indicate its
former greatness and beauty. Indeed 1t
was famous in fOTmef times IOr the skill
of its masons and builders, who excelled
all others In the knowledge of architec-
ture. They are frequently mentioned in
Scripture as stOne-squarers, #" term
applied to them as being eminently dis
tinguished ia that kind of work. The
people Of the ancient city of Gebal were
famous for their worship Of AdOnis, who
was believed to have been wounded by q
wild bosr while hunting in Mt. Libauus.
The river AdOnis, whose waters are at
some seasons as red % blood, passes by
il; and when this phenomenon appeared

"Great moral ideas is a phrase that
has become a "cant term on account
Of its being connected with self-sutticient
bigotry and conceit, and used as the
philosophy Of those whose whole edUca-
ton tends toward the decentralization of
society, and teaches US that virtue is the
synonym OF mere weakness. The miser-
able hypOcrites who thus use the term
never had moral idean in their life,
but are slaves to . passion that burns out
the pure fires Of the soul and leaves the
heart a naked hearth, covered with
the dead embers Of ruined hope and
life. Masonry reverses all this-she has
her "beautiful system Of morals veiled in
allegory as illustrated by symbols - and
I her members are taught that great moral
ideas consist in being good, humane and
/ true-that all men have rights and feel
| ings which others must respect aud rev
erence-that the golden law Of God
1 is stamped upon the universe Of man
| that every brother must do to another a.
! he would be done by.
This is the frame work Of true educa-
/ ton, and without this all learning Is but
| the confusion OF tongues and conflict oI
! interests, ending in the destruction o.
/ harmony, and throwing society into s
mass Of gigantic apes, babbling disc0rt
among men and blasphemy befOrs
/ heaven. - Freen2dsOp, 50. Louis.

We notice among proceedings of the
Legislature an application for tncorpora-
ton by Masonic Lodge, and OF every
session of the Legislature, for some years
back, similar applications have been
made and granted. Thus,as 1t we're, at
one blow, putting themselves outside the
authority and contrei Of the Grand
Lodge, and in case Of 3 conflict between
the Grand Lodge and lis Subordinate,
20 matter how heinous or what the Of
Tense OF the latter may be, Masonically,
no action can be taken, because the
State could take DO cOgnizance Of Ma
sonic ofEenses. We commend the fol-
lowing from the Voice Of Masonry, to
our Brethren on this subject:
a Many years ago we wrote against the
Growing and now Tremendous evil OF the
General incorporation Of Lodges. In a
az issue Of the New York Sunday Dis .
,,o5oh. alyays q readable sheet, appears
al elaborate article upon the same side
~ the question. The editor indOrses its
0,riter as one OF the ablest reasoners
connected with our institution We pre-
snne he means Judge John l.. Lewis, Of
New York. he states the question,
what is the effect legally, and what are
tha RIGHTS of members Of Masonic
Lodges upon their being incorporated

~ the legislature Of New York, and as is
nroposed ia several bills now pending p
aIn replying 70 this, he shows that an
inearDorated Lodge is the creature Of the
law deriving all It's powers from the
statute that created it, and that all the
rights OF the original members are
rSeroed and extiDguishsd in the new
ereafion that an officer Ofa Lodge could
