The organization which he controlled

THE SACRED NUMBER THREE.

The late John Henry Bernhard ORA
seke, Protestant Bishop Of Magdeburg,
and Master of the Lodge 'Olive Branch"
at Bremen, in one Of his addresses, thus
alIudes to the sacred number three
an the whole of nature, in all the mani
festations of its vitality, in all the wen
ders ofits glory and majesty, in every pOr-
ton Of its vast laboratory, presides. and
governs and reigns, pre-emineDt in its
mower. the mysterious three 1t is the
mistress of all the harmonies of the uni
verse. 1t is expressive Of the relation
of the Almighty Architect to his
creation. 1t dwells in the exist
ence Of man ever and ineessantly
repeating ITSELF as Body, Soul, Spirit
as Thought, Perception, Will; as the
Past, Present, Future as Faith, Hope,
| Love. AS a Mason, also, man is ever
surrounded by its Irresistible magic, and
! the sacred number meets his view at
every step of his progress. Does he con-
slider what is pre-suppOsed by the build
/ ing on which he is engaged ? he will
perceive it in the Power, the Plan, the
/ Execution. Does he ask what will be
/ the appearance of the edifiee He be
/ holds it conducted by Wisdom, sup
ported in Strength, and adorned by
Beauty. Does he reflect on the object
| for which this spiritual temple is erected
on earth ? The mystic triad again greets
him-Peace of Mind, Welfare Of Man
kind, Glory to God"

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The question has narrowed itself down
to this: what form of words shall q Ma
son use in Masonic assem- bles2 Those
opposed 10 our Views in regard to univer-
salty say that all invocati0ns and pray
ers shall be in one form Of speech, to
which none may dissent. This is con
ceded in regard to all written prayers.
But ministers, and oftetimes iaymen,
are called upon for prayer without any
written or prescribed form, and to at
tempt to limit them, OF even to find
fault with their honest and conscientious
expression, 20 which they have become
accustomed, is bad manners, impudent
interference, and rank intOleranee-than

about the silly story concoctcd by SANFORD
Conover, the convicted perjurer, that GEN

him to suborn witness to prove that Mr.,
johnson was cognizont of the assassination
plot.

dcrs,p but from very shame is forced to
say that but for "the corroboratiye evi.
dence in the possession of the Attorney
General" Conoycr's statements would not
be worthy ofcrcdencc. The so.cailed cor.
roboratiyc evidence amounts to nothing
towards sustaining Conover's story, al
though it is cunningly woven into the
narrative OF that accomplished scoundrel.
If either Of the gen,lemcn accused shall
be proven worthy Of belief we hope they
will be severely punished, but to talk
