Truth---NIark Well!

HERE is, IN the following, Iron
a Masonic sermon delivered il
1918, at Sackett's HarbOr, enough
to secure it a place in every Ma
sonic Lodge record, and especial
attention and thought on the part
of every officer of Lodge. At nc
time was it more important than
at the present-to guard well the
portals of Masonry. We know OF
some Lodges that we, in all kind
ness, are compelled to say have
been remiss in this duty.
SIN the Temple ofSOlomon there
were guards placed at the different
gates to see that none passed un-
less they were duly prepared. In
like manner, those who are pla. .ed
as guards in our Masonic Temple.
are to pay particular attention to
the character OF those who present
themselves as candidates for the
mysteries Of our Order.

covetous disposition with a man
hest desire to monopolize all to
himself-mark we'll the entering-in

he will have no regard for good
order and subordination..

neglected of his family-mark well

good citizen, he will not make a
good Mason.
4. do we see a man cruel and
oppressive, over-reaching his neigh

The widow and the orphan will
never have the tear of sorrow wiped

WE, this year, offer prizes to the sbove
w amount as an incentive to those of oul
pa rons who will exert themselves to form
clubs. # our paper could be taken in the
household OF all our Democratic friends South
and West, its influence would be potent in
changing the political aspect of affairs. The
great point for which all friends of the Union
should labor for is The dissemination of Demo-
cratic truth. If it had lad an equal hearing
with the errors of our opponents, we should
never have had the terrible crisis of he last
five years. Taught by sad experience of its
necessity, we trust the Democratic press is in
future to have larger sphere of influence and
circulation.
What evils have fallen on the land, owing TO
the erroneous political education Of the masses /!
Ii we would restore the old order of Things
once more, effect National unity and the old
fashiOndd peace and prosperity, we must place
the Democracy again in power. As auxiliary
to this end, and as the most effective agent in
the work, VIC repeat, is the circulation of the
Democratic presp
The Enquirer has some claims upon the con-
sideration of The Democracy that are univer-
sally acknowledged. Through prescription and
persecution unexamplei, with military edictS
cutting off our circulation in whole States and
districts, threatened with total suppression

did not change our course, we stood by the Dem

Democratic Banner and be faithful TO its organ

west stand by them who were true in the dark

ests, and will they not exert themselves to in
