WHY women CANNOT bEcoNs MAsoSs.
The real reason has never been published
up to the date of Major Sherman's st.
Johns day lecture, in Austin. He had
the temerity to answer the question :
" Why cannot a woman become a Ma
son? ~ And the Rsveiik publishes it, as
follows: Woman sometimes COM
plains that she is not permitted 10 enter
our lodges and work with the craft IN
their labors, and learn all there is to he
learned in the institution. We will ex-
plain the reason. We learn that before
the Almighty had finished his work,
that be was in some doubt about Great
ing Eve. The creation Of every living
and creeping thing had been accom-
plished, and the Almighty had made
Adam, who was the first Mason, and
erected for him the finest lodge IN the
world, and called it Paradise No. !. He
then caused all the beasts Of the field,
and the fowls Of the air to pass before
Adam for him TO name them, which was
a piece Of work he had to do alone, so
that no confusion might thereafter arise
when Eve whom he knew would make
trouble if she were allowed to participate
in il, fhe created her beforehand. Adam
being very much fatigued with the Ia
bors Of his FIRST task fell asleep, and
when he awoke he found Eve IN the
lodge with him. Adam being Senior
Warden placed Eve rs the pillar Of
beauty in the South, and they received
their instructions from the Grand Mas
ter in the East, which when flushed,
she Immediately called the craft from
labor TO r%efreshmert. Instead of attend
ing TO the duties Of the office rs she
ought, she left her station, violated her
obligation, and let in m expelled Mason
who had no business there, and went
around with him, leaving Adam to look
after the Jewels. Thi, fellow had been
expelled from the Grand Lodge with
several others some time before. But
hearing the footsteps ofthe Grand Mas
Ter, he suddenly took his leave, telling
Eve TO go to making aprons, as she ana
Adam were not in proper regalia. She
and told Adam, and when the
Grand Master returned to the lodge lie
found his gavel had been stolen. He
called for the Senior aud Junior Ward
who had neglected TO guard the
door, and found them absent. After
searching some time he came TO where
thew were hid, aud demanded Of Adam
what be wa, doing there, instead OF &C.
his official station. Adam re-
piled he was waiting for Eve to call the
craft from refreshment to labor again,
and that the craft was not properly
clothed, which they were making pre-
for. Turning to Eve he asked
her what she had to offer in excuse for
her unofficial and unmasonic conduct.
She replied that 3 fellow passing him.

/ was no harm to learn them. The
Master then asked her what had
Of his gsvel; she said she didn't
unless that fellow had taken it
away. Finding that Eve was no longer
trustworthy, and that she had caused
Adam to neglect his duty, and had let
in one whom he had expelled, the Grand
Master closed the lodge, aud turning
them out, Sc, a faithful, tyler to guard
the door with a flaming sword. Adam,
-epenting Of his folly, went to work like
, man and a good Mason, in order to get
again. No: so with Eve, she
got angry about it and commenced rails
ing Cain. Adam, on account Of his re-
was permitted to establish
and work in the lower degrees;
md while Eve was allowed to join him

never again to be admitted to assist in
