WHAT DOES FREEMAsoNRY TEACH
60 ask that brother who has fallen in the
path of life, whose plans have miscarried,
and who finds himself held down by the
burdens of care and distress. He will
tell you that it teaches him that his
brothers Will lift him up, remove the OBJ
structions from his path and assist in
bearing the burdens under which he has
succumbed. 1t teaches him that there is
something in it beside forms and eeremo-
nies, that there is an invisible tie which
links Us all together in one great family
of friends and brothers, and that the
heart of each beats responsive to. the
wants and needs Of his brother.
Ask the Mason's widow what it teach
es She will tell you that it teaches her
of unobtrusive benevolence, of sympathy
and kindness, brotherly y affection and es-
TEEN. 1t teaches her lite is not all sor-
rowtul, that the clouds that lower about
her will soon break away, dispelled by
the light and love of the Mason's pres
ence.
Ask the orphan what it teaches, and he
will tell you that it teaches him that
brotherly affection and regard which knit
the fathers heart into the fraternity, has
descended 10 the son priceless legacy,
which will be to him better than silver
or gold; for it will teach his feet in what
paths to roam, will open to him the ave-
nues which lead him to knowledge and
usefulness, aud lead him to learn that
character which is alike the test of adj
mission to the Lodge, and which is more
to be priced than wealth or honors..
Ask the wanderer in q strange land
what it teaches, and he will tell you that
it teaches the universally of chat lan-
guage which is ineligible in all climes,
and which, when used, never fails of elic-
iting a response. 1t teaches him Of
brothors there ready to assist and serve
him, of difficulties removed, of courteous
treatment, and OF the usefulness OF that
institution which has grown and spread
where civilized man has gone.
Ask the brother who, perchance, in
soem unguarded'moment, has erred and
fallen, what it teaches. He will tell you
that it teaches of that charity which
deals gently with the erringr that keeps
the silent tongue, that unbraideth not,
that takes him gently by the hand and
leads him back to reetitude, and helps
him once more to stand erect like man
and q brother 1t points. cut the follies
of his ways, and urges him to avoid them
in the future.
Ask the wealthy brother what it
teaches, and he will tell you that it
teaches him to remember the poor and
fatherlcss, the widow and the orphan, to
be benevolent with his riches, and by his
example teach the world that Masonry
has made him worthier and better.
Brother, what does it teach you and mel
1t teaches us to be temperate, 10 deal
justly, be charitable 10 all men, and 80
walk and act that the world may never,
through us, have an opportunity of cast
ing reproach on our ancient institution.

School Concerts that had the appearance OF
theatricals. He mentioned the little girl who
sung Mt the Wednesday evening meeting in

Mr.. w. E. Gould spoke to the same effect.
and others.
Rev. Mr.. Dalton thought we should try aud
keep the world up to the church and net let
the church down to the world. He said that
when we commence with introducing dialogues
then the children soon want something little
more theatrical. Shortly after the affair has
to be given in City Hall. The papers write it
up and call it a great success. Then all the
children want to 60 and see it. After that is
over along comes professional opera compa-
ny to take the place of the amateur one that
preceded it, and the children want to go that
just as much as to the other. They have tasted
the poison and they like it. And so it has
come to pass that the question asked now-a-
days in our churches is not, whether the min
lister is an earnest christian man, but can he
draw houses. So from what is harmless in the
beginning we travel swiftly to the devil.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Dalton's remarks a
collection was taken up,
The following preamble and resolutions were
then passed:
We hail with Joy the very encouraging fact
that so many of the most discerning and
and efforts SO earnestly to the Sabbath School
enterprise, the result of whose investigations
as developed ia national, State, aud county
conventions impresSes upon us the fact that
we are still in the infancy OF work sufficient
ly glorious and promising to be worthy of the
highest and hottest ambition. That we count
it at once our privilege and most sacred obi
cation to be actively among the uprising hosts
of workers in this department., and among the
means OF efficiently aiding the enterprise we
respectfully recommend to the schools in this
county,
LIST. A hearty co cooperation with each other
in efforts to communicate information.
I'd. A uniform session.
Sd. A regular teachers meeting, and
4th. That the schools continue through the
entire year.
RESOLVED, That the thanks of this Convention
be extended to the families of this county who

their houses of worship, and to the officers who
have so efficiently conducted the exercises.
