THE HOLY BIBLE ~ MASONRY.

For some wears past an animated and not always
courteous discussion has been maintained by Ma
sonic poemics with respect to the character and
position In Masonry of the Holy Bible. The result
Of these discussions has been to produce some false
impressions the minds of many who are less In
formed and to create views wholly at variance with
the original and fundamental teachings OF Free
masonry. 1t has been repeatedly asserted that
belief in the Divine authenticity of the Scriptures Is
an essential part OF Masonic faith that same is
landmark of the Fraternity and that the Holy Bible
of the Old and New Testaments is an essential. in
dispensable and immemorial part o. the furniture
of the lodge
Now yield to in our respect and rever.
for the Canon Of the Law. but we do asser.
shat dogmatic theology is not and never has been a
part of the Masonic system, and that the brethren
who maintain and promulgate the foregoing doc
trine do with little no knowledge of the facts.
The furniture of lodge. like It's lights, ornaments,
Jewels and working tools is strictly symbolic. and
the Holy Bible. like Its companion lights, the square
and compasses is a symbol, and comparatively
modern in its application. Prior to 1880 it was
neither part of the furniture of the lodge nor
guarded by the Tyler's sword" all that was
borne upon the altar 1t Is about this period that
understand that term. and it was not until thirty
later that the bible began TO be designated as

altar as Of the great lights II the brethren who
thus seek to sectaranize Masonry would but extend
their researches beyond the narrow confines of the
monitor" better idea of the character. scope and
object of the institution could be had and clearer
IDEAS prevail.
The introduction of dogmatlc tests Is a canker
worm the vital5 of Freemasonry. 1t has split
Christendom into thousand contendng and
forever destroyed it's unity and the decadence OF
our ancient Fraternity will date from the hour that

ever gulse form, permitted TO interfere with

UiSONIC BADGES.

The nronrjetv OF wearing Masonic insignia upon
the person ard clothing IS. and probably VIII ever
continue to be. a disputed question Notwithstand-
ing II IS stoutly condemned by no inconsiderable
portion of the craft. II is nevertheless custom OF
great antiquity and which has received The
sanction OF many o. the best men among us. Nor
is it at all likely that anything less than an edict
will ever be sufficient 10 discontinue the practice
for the mingled feelings of ostentatous pride and
cupdity should other feelings prompt MS. and
of which we all possess a modicum, will ever be
sufficient to overcome the remonstrances of those
who object 10 the display.
There can be no doubt however. that the
wearing OF a Masonic badge has. on thousands Of
occa sons, been amulet for its possessor-opening
for him avenues which he could not otherwise have
entered, shielding him from HARM and procuring
for him among strangers the courtesies and ameni-
ties that men only show to those Tor whom they
entertain a personal regard.
Nor do we agree with some Of our more austere
brethren that the wearing of insignia is in Itself
an offence against the propriees of Masonry, and
a custom TO be condemned in toto. But. UNI
fortunately like most other practices 1t is subject
to the srossest abuse and the obtrusve display
