 The building of ''the house of the Lord," the Temple at Jerusalem, by King Solomon, 1000 years B. C., is one of the most significant events in the history of the world. It marks the golden age of the Chosen people, and symbOliZes the highest attainments of the commonwealth of Israel. The Jewish people have always, and will ever look back with exultant pride to the glorious reign of Solomon, and to the crOWnlnS work of his WOrld-famed wisdom, the Sanctuary of the Most High, erected by him on Mt Moriah, in the City of David.
 It has been remarked that "There is perhaps no building of the ancient world which has excited so much at tentiOn since the time of it's destruc- tiOn as the Temple which Solomon built at Jerusalem. It's spells were considered worthy of forming the prin- cipal illustration of one of the most beautiful of Triumphal arches, and Justinian's highest architectural am bitiOn was that he might surpass it.

rallying points of all associations of builders"
 More than that, the Temple of Solo, mon has been a potent factor in form
 ing the religious ideals of mankind in all the successive generations, and will continue to influence the minds and
 hearts of men for ages to come. Every
 Christian place of worship embodies,
 more or less, the symbolism of that di. vinely ordered House of Prayer and Praise, with it's altar of sacrifice, holy place, and holy of holies It's elaborate
 ritual illustrated the principles of di. vine worship which are practiced in
 one form or another throughout Christendom. It's costly materials
 perfect workmanship. and beautiful
 architecture stand for the fact that
 RELIGION IS THE CHIEF THING IN HU.
 MAN LIFE,
 and that the first and best of all we have should be devoted to God, the giver of every good and perfect gift. It also stands for the fundamental idea of all true religion that the Maker of the world is ever mindful of men, and that He meets His faithful ones, and is in covenant with them. As Cruden says: "The glory of this temple was not in the bigness of it; for that alone was but small pile of building, con- taining no more than a hundred and fifty feet in length, and hundred and five in breadth, taking the sanctuary, the sanctum, and the porch or entrance from out to out. The main grandeur and excellency of it consisted, CD In it's ornaments: it's workmanship being everywhere exceeding curious, and it's overlayings rich and costly. (2) In it's being built of new large stones, hewn out in the most curious and artful manner. (3) In it's out buildings; which were large, beautiful and sumptuOus. But what still was the main glory of this temple, were those extraordinary marks of the di- vine favor with which it was honored, QD The ark of the covenant, in which were put the tables of the law, and the mercy seat which was upon it, from whence the divine oracles were given out by an audible voice, as often as God was consulted in behalf )f his people. (2) The Shechinah, or the divine presence, manifested by a visible cloud resting over the mercy 'eat. (3) The trim and Thummim, by which the high priest consulted God Il difficult and momentous cases re- ating to the public interest of the na- ion, and (4) the holy fire which came oWn from heaven upon the altar at he consecrating of the temple"
 In other words the Temple of Solo, non stands for the beauty of a holy fife and symbolizes the temple of the wing God not made with hands, eter- al in the the heavens, into which the are being built as living stones, Iuared and smoothed and fitted to heir place, and
 MEET FOR THE MASTERS USE. However, it is not the Temple in , self, but the building of the same hich in particular is the theme of our 'xt. "And the house, when it was Z building, was built of stone made eady at the quarry: and there was , either hammer nor axe nor any tool of { on heard in the house while it was l building" 6 King David had already proposed I le erection of permanent temple of \ orship to take the place of the port V ole, temporary Tabernacle ordained \

 drals, abbeys, etc., which had their or
 lgln in those times, and it was essen
 tlal for them to have some signs b,
 which, on coming to strange place
 they could be recognized as real crafts
 men and not impostors. There was
 such a society of actual masons anC
 huilders m England lin the l7th cen tury, and some persons not belonpino
 to the craft had been accepted as mem
 bers or it; hence the full name of the
 present fraternity, Free and Accepted
 Masons." Modern freemasonry dates
 rom the organization in 1717 of the
 TOUT lodges then existing in Lon
 don' on a new basis, into a grand
 lodge, by which other grand lodges were chartered. To mark it's
 departure from the limited scope o1
 the original society, the principles and
 methods of the order are called specu. latlve masonry, the terms and insignia of operative masonry being retained. ,,
 It has been conjectured that free masonry existed on this continent be- fore it was discovered by Columbus. It's introduction into our own country Tn it's present form was of course of recent date.
 what is Freemasonry? What does It claim to be? What does it propose to do? The definition which learn- ed when l was boy is as follows: "Freemasonry is the science of moral ity, yelled in allegory, and illustrated oy symbols. The implements of operative masons are taken as object lessons to teach us the social and moral virtues. The principles of ee- ometry are employed to enforce the eternal righteousness of God and to in- splre us with the beauty of holiness. The common working tools of the craft are wonderfully adapted to this divine method of teaching spiritual verltles, by means of material things and temporal uses. A square is the symbol of right conduct. A square man IS one who works by principles. and tries his doings by the plans of the Divine Architect. The level teaches us equality in the sight of heaven. The plumb is the symbol of uprightness. The compasses admon- lsh us to circumscribe and limit our appetites, desires and natural afrec- blons lest we trespass upon the rights of others and violate the perfect law ,f life.
 1t is also in accord with the Scrip 'ural method of teaching by example The wisdom of Solomon, the heroic aithfulness of Hiram, and the un- integrity of St John Baptist are applied to the practical citations of life even as the events of heir history were recorded for our earning. The institution of masonry ( DOES NOT CLAIM TO BE A RELIGION As
 SUCH, notwithstanding it is founded unon , he fundamental principle of all true I faith in the true and livinp t Tod. A man cannot be a Mason in [ pirit except as he believes in God !: The science of morality without such l. faith belongs only to the weak and S eggarly element of this world. True ( lorality must have it's roots in the of the eternal Creator . nd Saviour of men. There can be no n eal brotherhood except as it is found s> on the fatherhood of God. This c lct is fundamental in the tenets of al IT order. Brotherly love, relief, and o, ~ uth, are but empty terms except as "
