Charity.

Charity is the great central principle
OF all fraternal societies. 1t is the Dia-
mond Set, circled by the golden chain
Of friendship and benevolence, and
sparkles in its dazzling brilliancy when
exercised In true sense by brothers,
and like the stars which show brightest
in the darkest nights, SO charity shows
the most beautiful amidst the dark
ness, distress and sorrow of life. There
is a charity of words as well as of
deeds. The unklnd word-how many
heart has been wounded beyond cure;
many reputation stabbed To death by
a few little words. There is charity
consisting in placing the least un-
favorable construction upon the error
Of others. And there is yet another
charity which consists in holding
words, keeping back harsh judgments;
in abstaining from speech. If to speak
is to condemn, such charity hears the
tale of SANDER, but does not repeat it.
Listen in silence, but forbear to com
ment; then lock the unpleasant secret
up in the archives of the heart, there
TO remain. Silence can still rumor.
1t is speech that keeps story alive
and lends it vigor. How long would
the slanderous rumor live if no one re-
peated itp The originator would be-
come disgusted with his or her own
production, and In shame hide behind
that charity which refuses to be par
ticipator in spreading such detestable
calumny. II the case is such that we
cannot defend the brother on account
Of grounds sufficient for SO doing, we
can keep silent so far as the public is
concerned. III we have no water on
hand with which TO extinguish fire,
we can keep fuel away from IL, thus
compelling il to die out. May we re-
member the charity of silence In deal
ing with each other, knowing that the
Divine Teacher in our Book OF Law
hath said that Charity covereth a
multitude OF sins. Masonic Chronicle.

Stick to il.

Stick to it; this is the great secret OF
success in whatever undertaking you
may engage. Work early and late;
never give up; always have full con
tidence in yourself and you will be
pretty sure to come out on the top of
the pile. ''Stick TO it" is exemplitied
in history. The Greeks before Troy
stuck to it and they took the place; the
allied forces stuck before Sebastopol
and the supposedly impregnable fort
ress fell into their hands; Grant stuck
to it, and his sticking to it, and his
sledge-hammer blows caused the strife
among brothers to cease when nearly
everybody had begun to give up hope.
Another point is to have faith in
your order: for if you have not, no one
else will. Look at things in a rosy
light, not necessarily optimistic, but at
least eschew peering on the gloomy
side Of things, even If prospects appear
anything but bright. 1t is the pleas
ant business man who has the biggest
run of trade; ii is the pleasant physi.
clan who cures more patients than the
one with the scow and frown Of an
over-important demeanor; it is the
pleasant teacher who succeeds best
with his scholars and who gains their
love: it is the pleasant deputy who
creates the most and largest lodges,
and it is the pleasant man who is the
healthiest, not the cross and grabbed
man who never knows bit of pleas
antry, but is like the owl, ever scowl-
ing. If you are pleasant the chances
are you possess good health and will
be successful in your calling.
There is no class Of business or pro-
fessional men who combine the above
harmonious traits To so large degree
as do the practical deputies. They
are stickers; they have faith; they are
CHEEKY, and they are successful beyond
a doubt. These charming traits have,
perhaps, been the reason to O large
extent of the wonderful proportions
this system has attained than almost
anything else. And they will accom-
plish more, as time will show. So long
as the forces at the lever will stick,
will believe, and be of good cheer, so
long need there be no fear of backsid-
ing.-Oregon Reporter.
