appropriate the main results Of the higher criti-

Freemasonry in Boston is a subject which
will receive very much attention at this time
of the great conclave in the New England CAPT
tai II the kBights-Templar. OF the early his
tory of Masonry in America most people out
side the craft know little enough. In Boston,
in the days of the Revolution. Hancock, War
rem, and Revere, like so many less famous pa
triots, were Jealous .Masons. and their lodges
were often centers of active agitation. From
that time to this Masonry in Boston has had
remarkable history, and has numbered in its
ranks many remarkable men. The history has
never been SO we'll told as by Mr.. Warren b.
Ellis, in the fully illustrated article in the Sep
tember number of the NeW England Magazine.
The article will interest the general public
almost as much as il interests the brethren.
