ala ostentatious manner ss The Pharisee
prayed at the strest corner, but on the
Christian plan, "when thou doest aims, let
not thy left hand know what thy right hand
doeth." These are the foundation stones
of Masonry, and upon these an order has
been reared which ranks among its mem
bers the wisest, purest, most patriotic men
of the aSticn. In all The eventful periods of
our nations history, this order has stood by
The government, the Constitution and the
laws, and hence the place it holds in the
affection, confidence and esteem of the
people. The dedication of the Philadelphia
Temple will mark another era Ia The history
