Illustrious Grand Master, Officers and

g The command Of our people generally,
- Welcome you 70 our midst. To you

ovw them. May your deliberations be
harmonious, and may your efforts to
promote the means TO secure to our fel-
jowman the blessing Of sweet charity, be
moee than crowned with success. The
world needs Masonry now more than
evsr before. As writer In one of our
leading periodicals has in substance
eaid Of suoh society al ours: "That
from such, springs an ethical belief
With regard 70 the world. belief that
the universe is making for righteous
nees, that there h good tendency in
things. Such o belief We need. II is
mot enough that We wrong no ono II Ia
not enough that we seek TO help our fol-
low mortals a. much AZ Is in our power.
When We look abroad over life when
Ve see how cruel fate often is how
Nature, In the shape Of floods, confa-
Rrati0ns and disease, strikes into our
vieest plans and wreats from us the
most cherished objects Of our affection !;
when 10 sec In society around US vice
often exalted TO honor, and virtue trod-
don under foot, then we need to rise in
spirit above the present pain TO future
good, above the present wrong to fu-
ture right, above the present incom-
pleteuess TO future perfection. These
10 need 10 feel, that at the deep central
heart Of the world there abides an eter-
nal purpose, for whose accomplishment
~, by our sufferings, are helping to pay
the price. We need 10 feel that no
effort ID ever wasted, that no honest
reaching out for the good Is ever lost,
that tho great all Ii pressing forward
toward high, glorious goal"
Masonry teaches that we must act
the good, and that then we will believe
N II. That We must become familiar
through practice with tho nature Of
goodness, that then We will be filled
with trust In les excellent and triumph
ant powers. For that We cannot be con-
sanity engaged In working the good
without becoming assured that tho
forees of the universe arc on our side |;
thAt al evil exists only 70 be bound and
subjected and denied for We cannot
.sland in the light without feeling the
glory Of the light, and the conviction
hat The world 70 moving toward great
snds Of progress will oome swiftly and
surely 70 those Who are themselves en-
GAged In tho work Of progress"
Then thrice welcome. ono and all, ye
vorkoes for the good. Thrice welcome,
~ men who meet upon the level, act
upsightly. and Who part upon the
eQusSe, Tor your work u bounded BY NO
nexroW oreed or worn-out faith. May
What Jon do here b we'll done, 10 the
sincere Wish Of oil the good people of
car Queen City. Once more. enc and
