but what I say is, that you might
as we'll call yourself Christian be-
cause you pay attention to the
Church of England services without
further study or acting up to the
precepts Of Christ, as call yourself
a Mason because you can repeat the
ritual, without studying and apply
ing the principles. | argue, there
fore, that the rituals are no argu-
mcnt either of the antiquity or mod
ernncss of Masonry. We will not
be justified in saying that there was
no Christianity in Britain before
1549, when the first Book Of Com
mon Prayer was printed. Before
that was the Missal; before the
Missal, other books of prayers.
Whether the present rituals arc Of
two hundred or Of two thousand
years existence, is of little impor-
lance. The great question is, were
the doctrines at present inculcated
by Freemasonry known to the an
clients? and the answer is at once
eiven-they were. As times change.
so does customs, and there would be
little to cause surprise in the fact
that the brethren al certain period
thought fit to alter their ceremonial.

Anecdotes and Sayings Of
NIaSOnS.

Bro. Neems, IN his 'Llte OF
Franklin" relates the following:
ION his first trip by land to see
his father in Boston, he was worried
almost to death by the abominable
inquisitiveness of the New England
tavern keepers. Neither man nor
beast could travel among them in
comfort. No matter how wet or
weary, how hungry or thirsty the
poor traveller might be, he was not
to expect an atom of refreshment
from the silly publicans until their
most pestiferous curiosity was first
gratifed. And then Job himself
could not stand such questions as
they would goad him with ; such as
where he came fronl-and where he
might be a-going-and what religion
be might be of-and if he was a
married man-and so on. After hav-
ing been prodigiously teased this
way for several days, until at last
the bare sight Of public house al
most threw him into an ague, he
determined to try the following
remedy at the very next tavern
Seen as he alighted from his horse
he desired the tavern-keeper to col
lect his whole family, wife, children
and servants, ever soul Of them ; for
he had something vastly important
to communicate. All being assem-
bled and wondering what he had to
say, he thus addressed them: My
name is Benjamin Franklin. I am
a printer by trade l live, when at
home, in Philadelphia. In Boston
l have father, a good old man, who
taught me, when l was boy, to
read my book and say my prayers.
have ever since thought it my duty
to visit and pay my respects to such
a father, and | am on that errand to
Boston now. This is all that | can
at present rccollect of myself that
l think worth telling you. But if
you can think of anything else that
you wish to know about me, I beg
you to out with it at once, that l
may answer, and so give you an
opportunity to get me something to
eat; for long to be on my journey

Rituals do not Constitute
FreemasOnry.

Anthony Oneal Haye thus writes,
in our British contemporary:
''They are only the means towards
an end, and that end the attaining
of light. 1t mi ght as well be said
that the accolade was knighthood,
baptism, Christianity. The rituals
are merely the cermonials Of de-
grecs, and the brother who, when
he can say them off by heart, thinks
that he has exhausted Masonry, la
bors under the most lamcntable mis-
take. He has only crossed the
Threshold of Masonry. He must
study the whole mysteries which lie
mctaphogically between the extend
ed points of the compass, which,
with all his perseverance, after a
lifetime, he will not completely I'M
derstapd. The benefits to be derived
from this study remain to be reaped
in an after life.

masonry have been those Of the wise
Of all ages, and l confess that, save
as ceremonial, and as means fol
detecting impostors, | do not give

found reverence which many do

Remember, the true Mason is
slow to anger, and easy to forgive :;
he will stay his falling brother by
gentle admonitions, and warn Him
kindly of any deviations from the
path of rectitude. He will appriSe
him Of all approaching danger; he
will not lend an ear TO his SANDER
ers, and will close his lips against
all reproach; his faults and his
foibles will be locked up in his breast
and the prayer for mercy will ascend
to Jehovah for his brothers sins. >

Misfortune and miconauct were

The following, from the Telegram
of Baltim ore, expresses the senti-
ments of the craft throughout the
country:
We dislike controversy, cordially
and thoroughly, and we are almost
tempted to say that We dislike con-
troversialists also. Happily, how
ever, for the welfare and stability
Of our ancient fraternity, the I'M

changed, and SO far as all its essen

Nothing Lost by Kindness.

1t is q dreadful thing to be old and poor,
and have no home; but there is deeper
depth of human calamity than this--it is
tohave, inaddition, an old age of wasting,
wearying sickness, which,is often superin-
duced by that constant depression of
mind which attends the consciousness of
being alone, and .friendless, and in want.
One of the very best means of avoiding
an old age of destruction and bodily
suffering, is to cultivate, whileyousng, all
the benevolent and generous feelings of
our nature, never by any possibility
allowing any opportunity to pass of
befriending fellow, as We are passing
along life's journey, for sooner or later
the reward will come-the reward of
happy heart, and oftentimes comforta-
BILE provision for declining years.
In 1872 wounded soldier was lying
helpless on the plains of Chalmett, a few
miles below New Orleans. A youth,
passing that way kneeled at his side,
inquired as to his wants, conveyed him
to a shelter, and remained with him until
he was able to leave for his home in the
city. Nearly half a century later the
old soldier died, but old Judah Touro
never forgot the youth who helped him
on the battlefield, and left him $780, 900
in money, besides some duties to per-
form which eventually yielded AIr.
Shepherd 100000
While living in New Orleans, about
the year 1850, a young doctor with large
family and small practice, often came
into my office. He was always courteous,
always kind, and always sad, and who
could be otherwise when anxiety for
to-morrow's bread for wife and children
is always pressing on the heart? But,
there came letter one day with English
post-mark making inquiries fora certain
young American doctor, who had greatly
befriended an English gentleman during
| a long and dangerous attack of sickness
| in New Orleans, q anumberof years before.
This grateful gentleman had died and
| left our poor young doctor large estate.
Ten years ago, and less, there lived in
the city of New York, a clergyman whose
name and memory are sacred to thou
sands of grateful, loveing, reyeriDg
hearts. He has not been dead long; he
will never die out of the holy affections
of the people before whom he came in
1 and went out so many years. Among
! his people there was one man, ana he
was of large wealth, who seemed Ia
! make it his special business, as it was hif
highest happiness, to see that his re-
yered pastor wanted nothing. II wa:
not a fitful care. 1t did not spring up In
May and die long before December came
but through weeks'and months and long
wears it was always the same incessant
perennial, gushing up always like 1
never failing spring. The pastor died
his loving watcher, no fault of his own
failed for almost millions, and recovery
was absolutely hopeless. The grief tina
pressed him most was the loss of ability
to help the helpless. Men looked on apa
| wondered, and began to question j
