MASONIC.

Al the request, and for tho benefit
of large number Of our readers who
are members Of the Masonic Fra,erni.
y, We propose to devote a short space
occasionally to Masonic literature
The scissors Of our venerable brother
NOrthcOtt have culled tho following
AS there is but ono Masonry, Il Il
asked, why have it divided md subdi.
yided into so many degrees? Free.
Masonry is moral science. It intro.
duces tho mind to the sublime lessons
Of symbols. And as II is a life.long
study, there must be tho first lesson
or design. And but few, conparatiyc Q.
y speaking, 60 into a thorough inyes.
!igation Of the first degree. Men are
initiated, and step by step they need
to have communicated to them lessons
of truth. And as the degrees are il.
Illustrative Of tho stages Of life, It re-
quires time, experience, patience and
perseverance to learn tho true mean.
ing Of tho sublime wisdom displayed
in tue designs upon the traciug.board.
The successive steps are SO many dc.
grecs, which bring additional rays Of
moral light. These degrees arc given
to tie noOphyto, and as 10 makes pro.
fcicncy, ho is allowed to 60 on at duo
periods. There is too much haste
manifested among most who arc intro.
duccd to tho mysteries of the Frator.

through. 1t would DO much better
for The Institution il more timu was
spent. There Is not anything but has
It's symbolic meaning, and that |, the
