EULOGY ON MASONRY
Delivered by William ii. Scott at the
Laying of the Corner Stone.

Delivered by william III. Scott at the
Laying Of the Corner Stone.
The services at the laying OF the corner
stone OF the Ebenezer Primitive Method
ist Church yesterday afternoon were con-
Quoted by the Masons:
The stone was hallowed and laid by
Most '.Worshipful.. Grand Master Elisha
III. Rhodes, assisted by Pro Grand Master
Hon. ID. Russell Brown. After the cere-
mony each of these gentlemen was pre-
sented with pearl-handled, solid silver
trowel by Rev. j. j. Arnaud.
The principal feature of the exercises
was the delivery of the following eulogy
on Masonry by Worshipful =. William II.
Scott.
The Order OF Free Masonry and Church
OF Christ unite in laying the corner stone
of a house which is to be consec-ated to
eternal truth-which is TO be us, the
outward dwelling place OF the Most
High. We rejoice that the principles
of our order are thus allied with the
truths of the Christian church, that the
spirit OF their teaching and the benevo-
lence OF their practice are one and the
same. We rejoice that we acknowledge
the same Great Master, that
the daily conduct OF our members is
regulated by the same divine precepts,
that we are taught to erect our spiritual
DullulUe dRTeeaDly 10 bue TuleS anu Oe-
signs laid down by the Supreme Architect
of the universe in the great book of ma
ture and revelation, the Bible.
Some may ask, whence did this order of
Free Masonry originate? Who can tell,
except 1t be in the fundamental and
eternal principles of truth. On that basis
Free Masonry surely stands. The benign
and fructifying principles of the order
have made Tor 1t u reputable history and
have gained for ii the worlds recognition.
Free Masonry is q progressive, ethical
science, veiled in allegory and illustrated
in symbolism, but permeated by a living
power. Its foundation is truth;
it's principles which the Christian dis
ciple Is taught to follow. The
chart of the Mason 10 the Holy Bible,
which is the great lightlof Free Masonry.
Masonic faith acknowledges the Bible to
be the word of God, that it will guide
man TO al truth and point out to him his
whole duty. The Mason recog-
nizes the existence of the Supreme
Being; and the povitiate In Free Masonry
is obliged to express belief In Him. He
is instructed in tho important duties
which he owes to God, to his neig b Dor
and to himself; to God, In reverencing
His name, in imploring His aid,
comfort and support; to his eighbor, in
exercising brotherly love, in relieving his
distresses and soothing his Affections,
aud in the practice OF the golden rule,
"Do unto Others as you would have them
do unto you"; and to himself in pru-
dent and well regulated life, to the full

development of his bodily, mental and
moral powers and faculties.
The manifold duties of this three-fold re-
lation of the Mason-are they not the
same as those enjoined upon the member
of the Christian Church? The Scriptures
enjoin supreme love TO God and universal
benevolence to mankind; Freemasonry
impresses these lessons on the heart
as the Afason's first duties. The
Scriptures urge the exercise OF brotherly
love and a due regard for the welfare OF
our neighbor; Free Masonry considers the
whole human family as breth-
ern, and enjoins mutual friendship
and affection. The Scriptures emphasize
the religious observance Of the
Masonry is equally empathic in its teach
ings to keep the day holy. The Scriptures
enjoin submission and obedience TO the
temporal powers; Free Masonry enforces
the same lesson upon its members.
The Scriptures teach the duty OF charity
Free Masonry obligates its members TO
Christian charity and benevolence. The
Scriptures and Free Masonry alike forbid
Indulgence In anger, intemperance,
hatred, slander, and every vice which cor
rupts virtue and disturbs society; they
alike enjoin q strict observance OF the
moral law.
With such principles in common, let no
one believe the slsnderous report that
Free Masonry 10 the enemy of the Church,
or even its rival. Ii it holds the
same principles and iculcates the
same lessons, it is because il is
trying TO make men good and true
in all their relations in life, to satisfy the
deepest needs of their soul and help them
to attain their loftiest aspirations; it is
because IL Is trying to have men know the
truths which are the common heritage OF
us all, and in the practice of those truths to
live noble and useful life. Free Masonry
Is thus the handmade of the church; ii is
helping her to fulfil the purposes OF the
Divine Master in the establishment OF the
kingdom of righteousness.
