ARTISTIC RASCALIYY.

In the Boston Commercial Euiie,i" Of a
recent date writer gives the following ac.
count of how an ingenious :orger swindied
a New Orleans bank out of $4,000 in 1871:
Rascality is a fine art. Genius declares
itself as much in a superior style of pickn 9

is brain IN all its royal robes. whether in the
line Of sharp scoundrelsm or Of lofty sen.

1t must be admitted, by every candid and
dispassionate mind. that the lay and
execution OF that expedition against the
Bank OF England was mastery. No cheap

except on the checkered pavement of the
lodge. This is proved by the facts col
lected in DR.. Morris Masonic researches
there. He found in Smyrna seven
lodges, no two of which employ the same
language in their rituals, and whose mem
bers represent all the religions of the Le-
want, yet meeting and associating in har-
mony which is standing marvel to those
who are familiar with the Earrings and con-
tentions so common in that city. So at
Damascus and elsewhere, in the private
convocations OF Free Masons to hear the
masonic lectures of DR.. Morris, the consuls
OF France, Italy, England, Germany, Per-
sia, the United States, etc, joined hands
with Pashas Sheikhs, Beys, Cadis, karnia-
kams, Armenians, PrOtestants, Greeks and
Jews in the one work Of giving and receiv-
ing pleasure.
1t is believed by the most thoughtful men
who have resided or Travelled IN the East
that the Masonic work must precede the
work Of the missionary if any large success
is to be anticipated The latter can not ap-
proach the Mahommedan without some So
cial medium other than his religious mes
sage. This was exemplitied in the case OF
Rev. Pliny Fisk. the first American mission
ary to the Holy Land. Preparing himself for
what was to y his life-wOck, this earnest
man became Free Mason before leaving
our shores, and 80 when he entered Jerusa-
lem, April, 1928, a tie was already estab.
lished between him and the rulers of the
people there. But for his early and la
mented death, October 23 1925, the Ameri-
can Mission, whose labOrs have certainly
been extremely successful, might have
been a generation in advance OF what it is
through the additional influence of fra
ternity whose covenants are equally bind
ing upon the NahOmmedan, Christian and
Jew.
Nor must the necessity of increasing the
charities OF the world in behalf Of the peo
pie of the East be lost sight of. Their
normal condition is extreme poverty. The
Masonic lodges are nOminally devoted to
charity. In the first Christian upbuilding
of Jerusalem, in Constantine's day, charita-
BILE establishments of the most extensive
character-One, for instance, hospital OF
four hundred beds-were founded The
institution OF the Order Of St. John was
strictly charitable one, as their name
knights Hospitaiiersj proves. At the
present day every sect has its charitable
establishments within the walls of Jerusa.
lem. The Prussian Knights of st. John
have hOspice and female seminary there,
supported exclusively by aims. The jew
ish Hospital is well known. The English
Episcopalians have charitable establish
ment, as also the Latins, Greeks, Arme-
mans, etc. Now it will follow as neces.
sary outcrop of the establishment of q
Masonic lodge at Jerusalem that Masonic
hospital and caravansery will be founded
