ions of money to aid in putting down
the infamous traffic in human flesh that has
SO long been piled among the ignorant
masses of Africa. Lavigerie's life shows
what purpose. united with energy, can ac-

Born at Bay onne. in France, in 1926. he
studied theology, and rose to be professor
at the famous SOrbonne. in Paris. Under
Napoleon he played an important part in
the difficult task of state educatiOD: in
1857 he was. persona grata. q favored person
to the Roman Pontih. BY the latter he
: was appointed to the Algerian see as arch
bishop. although the see or archbshopric
was only such in name. The new
appOintee displayed an energy that soon
astonished not only Rome, but France aud
all Europe. So energetic were his move
ments and measures that MacMahon's mil
itary government in AlgIers got mixed up
in conflict with the Bishop Into the heart
of the Dark Continent he sent trained
missionaries to preach the gospel, the arts
and sciences, and civilization to bewIl-
dered savages. His success reads like q
romance. Anxious to supplement the
work OF such men as Livingstone,
Cameron, Stanley and others he
came TO Europe TO preach new crusade
To this end he was commissioned by Pope
Leo and presented by him with 600 900
francs. Paris Brussels Rome, Berlin and

In the bonds of affection and love;

Was received in the West,
By command from the East,
But not without feeling some pain.

With moral quite fraught,
With sentiments holy and true;

What Hiram intended to do.
Very soon to the East

When 10, perceived,
In due form revealed,

And simply related
What happened when was made free;
But I've passed since then,
And was raised up again
To sublime and ancient degree.
Then onward marched,

And find out the treasures long lost:
When, beholdt bright flame,
From the midst of which came
A voice which my care did accost.
Through the ''vales'' then went,
And succeeded at length

| By the ''signet'' gained,
And quickly obtained
Employment which suited nv mind.
In the depths then wrought,
And most cheerfully sought,
For treasure long hidden there;
And by labor and toll
discovered rich spoil,
Which are kept by the craft with due care.
Having thus far arrived,

And as Pilgrim and Knight

Nor Saracen foe did fear.

There's chord in my breast;
For the orphan and helpless feel;
And my sword could draw
To maintain the pure law,
Which the duty of Masons reveal

Who will faithfully stand
