BISHOPS ON ANARCHY.
EPISCOPAL PASTORAL LETTER.

The triennial convention of the Epis-
copal Church of America has adjourned
sine due. The next convention is to
be held in Boston in 1904.
The closing exercises of the conven-
tion were impressive. The bishops,
attired in their robes of Office and pre-
ceeded by DR.. Samuel Hart, secretary
of the house of bishops, and Rev. e..
L. Hutchins, secretary of the house of
deputies, marched in procession into
tile church. AS they walked up the
main aisle the vested choir and the
congregation joined in singing.
The bishops were seated on the plat
form inside the chancel and prayer
service was conducted by President
Lindsey, Of the house of deputies.
LETTER FROM THE BISHOPS.
The triennial pastoral letter was
read by Bishop Dudley, Of Kentucky.
The letter, which is very long, begins
as follows:
"In compliance with your request,
dear brethren OF the clergy and Of the
laity, and in accordance with our time
honored custom, your bishops are come
to speak parting works of exhortation
and of blessing. The session of tic
great synod is ended. We have taken
council together of the things concern
ing the kingdom Of God; we have made
more nearly perfect, as we trust, the
for the accomplishment
of its work; we have chosen new lead
ers of the militant hosts; we have de-
vised, as we believe, larger enterprise
of future advance. Surely we have
gained new courage by clasping the

Republic in the World.
Why should Masons lay the cor
ner-stones Of public buildings? Be-
cause our fraternity is the oldest re-
public in the world. When the nations
lay bound band and foot, soul and
body, in the universal prison house of
self-assumed authority, the Free
Mason, as his very name implies, was
a member of a representative and re-
sponsible government. He aided in
electing the chief or master of his i'm
mediate lodge, and for limited time,
so that the delegated authority, re-
stricted in its exercise by law and
usage, returned back to the hand that
gave it, to be conveyed under like re-
strictions to another worthy member
of the little community.
These tiny republics were further
restrained by higher power, which
they themselves composed by selecting
delegates to general assembly, de-
nominated a grand lodge. That grand
lodge, composed of the selected wis
dom of all the lesser bodies within a
country or State, made general laws
for general use, framed constitution
with respectful reference to the un-
written usagcs and customs of the fra
ternity, while under a like restraint,
the inalienabe rights of all Masons
and the constitution of their grand
lodge, the subordinate or local lod yes
framed their own laws or regulations.
This double representative republic,
So like to that Of the great nation and
great State within whose territory and
under whose protection the paternal
laws we now live, is the oldest repre-
sentative government in the world; it
has always enjoyed the freedom which
is still its boast; it has always elected
Its chiefs and rulers, aad it has always
made its own laws by means of repre-
sentatives lemocratically elected.
sOLOMoN's TEMPLE
History points to the year A. NJ.
1892, more than ten centuries before
the Christian era, as the period when
Solomon began to build a temple to be
dedicated to the God Of Israel. This
marvellous work was the creation of
men specially instructed and skilled in
wisdom, science and arts which to all
others were unknown. Selected from
tribes and nations after they had ac-
quired the esoteric knowledge, these
men of Tyre, Sidonia and nei ighboring
nationalilies undertook the work which
Solomon required for the accomplish
ment of his purpose.
The site chosen was at Jerusalem
and Mount Moriah. The associations,
sacred and profane, which cluster
around that hallowed eminence are but
the outer covering of facts, mysteries
and events which have made impress
sions on the human mind and produced

consequences Oh Ille SOul VI HAL iaSt-
ing through time and outreaching into
eternity. Nowhere in Christendom
can there be found an educated intel
lect which has not been wrought up to
its highest capacities by the record Of
the mighty works, stupendous myster-
les and miraculous events which con-
secratc Jerusalem. The descendants
of the chosen people who saw Moses
and heard the law and the prophets
look yet with faith to the time when
the Holy City shall be the resting
place of the Ark of their Covenant.
The Christian bows his head in devout
alteration as he contemplates the men,
cries of Olivet. Even the heather feel
an inexpressible awe at the recital of
the histories of the Caesars and CEN
turions who then ruled and reigned
over Palestine. Philosophers and
scholars have exhausted centuries in a
failure to explain, by human reason,
the unfaithfulness of the records and
revelations which give sanction and
sacredness to the scenes Of Gethsemane
and the Holy sepulchre.
STABILITY OF FREE MASONRY.
AS we review the past, remote as
we'll as recent, we are struck by the
stability of Free Masonry. No other
human organization has been SO per-
manent. Men die, Kingdoms pass
away, even nations are lost, but Free
Masonry, like the everlasting hills, re-
mains. Why is this? 1t is because
the cornerstone of our fraternity is the
first great light in Masonry-the Word
of God. Without it there would he no
Free Masonry, and it is this which in
sures its perpetuity.
Free Masonry is founded upon
rock. 1t is beautiful system OF
morality, derived from the Holy Bible.
We quote its very words, and perform
the very deeds erjoincd by it. This
is why our mystic craft. which traces
its origin by history and tradition to
the remotest past, promises to continue
to the remotest future Its corner.
stone is Gods Word. Its spiritual
temple is "a house not made with
hands, tie ashlers of which are the
everything souls of everything men,
and its cap-stone is charity or brother
ly love.
Free Masonry in its very essence is
system of light; but if the source of
that light, the Grand Architect of the
universe, should be stricken from Free
Masonry the craft would lose its sun,
abontwhich all tits symbolism clusters
and enthrone darkness in place of ht.
1t is not amiss here to state that
George Washington, past master Of
Alexandria Lodge, No. %, while serv-
ing second term as President of the
United States, on September Is, 1898,
and acting grand master, clothed in
the insignia and jewel of that Office,
performed the ceremony of laying the
cornerstone of the Capitol at Wash
ington, in the presence of one of the
grandest Masonic gatherings that had
ever, perhaps, been assembled in this
country up to that date, thus attrs'ing
to the world his appreciation OF
Masonry, his faith in its teachings,
and the Importance of having the cor
ner-stone Of the Capitol of this nation
"tested," tried" and laid by the proper
officers of the Grand Lodge of Masons,
in accordance with ancient usages and
solemn rites.-PhHadeIphiu Times.

OMENS OFFATEFULO OBJECT

The shooting of President McKin-
ley recalls to superstitious minds the
shadows that have appeared in recent
years on the large columns of the
north or main porch of the White
House. During the winter months
these shadows are more distinct than
in other months and appear near the
top of the columns around the midday
hours. 1t is recalled now that last ia l
shadow appeared that had never
been seen on the column before. 1t re-
quired no effortof the imagination to
recognize it as human forearm and
hand, with bent finger upheld in the
attitude Of warning. 1t appeared and
disappeared each day for fortnight
or more. Some time after this, when
the suns position had changed, a
shadow Of nondescript form appeared,
on the great pillar at the extreme
northwest corner Of the portico. 1t
soon took on definite shape and at one
o'clock in the afternoon presented the
face and shoulders of President Nc
Kinley in profile. The silhouette was
80 striking as to attract the attention
of many people, who remarked that
more perfect profile drawing could
hardly be made by an artist. The
likeness was not correct one for
more than few minutes and then it
changed with the altering position of
the sun, and ten minutes later had as
sumed a remarkably perfect likeness
of the late Queen Victoria even to an
object on the head resemblinga crown.
Sometimes the shadows present the
bent form of an old woman, with one
hand resting on an object resembling
a spinning-wheel.- Washington Star.
