sent our readers with few more
thoughts in defence Of our head
ing ubUgc For we, in the first
place, according to promise, are
under obligation to our readers
to do SO. And again in the sec
ond place we deem It necessary
to answer some Of Bro Tunnels
declarations which he has made.
For while he has been subscrib-
ing the most If them to &. A..
S'mons, yet he has in several in
stances referred 10 us. And in
order to appease the Brothers
longlngs we shall say that there
ar" thousands that do not under
stand the d eap truths of the Ma
sonic Fraturnity and Oddfeilox.
ship They mistake thu dark am
bishen Of evil men, who think OF
nothing else but self and selfish
ness--Or those Who work in
every form and manner to take
the advantage of their fellow man
it matters not how much il sleeps
their hands in blood This we
say, those hundreds take in the
place OF the true principles of
Masonry and true Oddfellowship;
we shall admit right in the out
start.
That there is such unprinci
/ paled men crept into these lodges
una wares-For this vas the case
even in Paul's day as he says in
this language;
Aud that because of false brethren
unawares brought in. who came in
wirily to spy out our liberty which We
have IN Christ Jesus, Tint they might
bring us into bondage Gal. "a
Yes we learn here that there
were false brethren had come in
privetly to spy out their liberty
IN Christ, Now the man writing
against Secret Societies, viii
haveto admit that this was the
church And il this was the
Church, that Paul was speaking
ahout-The same man will have
to admit that there was some
thing in there that was not yet
made public; or else there would
not Of been any need of those
false brethren goiNg III privatly
to spy out the libel ty which they
had in Christ-They could of

so this will cause us to give this
subject a more thourough inves'

And in carrying this investlga-
ton on we shall notice that Bro.

after being referred to the above

We conclude that the worthy
Bro had direct reference to the
laws of our land when he referred
us to the Power For we under
stand him that he is speaking of
numbering of men who tells of
secrets which they have obligat'
ed themselves TO keep; in Joining
Secret Societies, and that the
Societies resist the laws OF our
land by the taking Of the life of
the che devulging the Secret
Now in nowise, would we indulge
II violation of our laws But that
our readers may not be blinG to
the truth as it is in Christ Jesus
our Lord. For we must admit
that il it has reference to our
laws as the power and ordinan-
ces of God This 10 ma would be
preposlerouS--Just to think for
a moment that the power of any
minister's Of God can be bought
with money, making Doodle and
boodler out of them And for to
apply the scriptures above to our
laws, and law makers. 1t must
be admitted that this is true, in
this sense Of speaking. And fur
thermore if it is applied to cur
laws, and officers then | will say
that there is u greater secret
connected with our laws and our
officers than ever learned or
even heard tel of-In amongst
the ministers Of God. For |
know that if the majority Of our
officers are ministers of God,
there is such q deep secret about
it that | have never learned the
first letter Of Christianity now
neither do | know what Z takes
to make ministers of God
For God has said to his dici,
pies and ministers BE We one
as and the father are one, and
by this shall all men know that
We are my disciples if you have
love one TO another--It does not
say that they shall fight and de-.
vcur each other But we do see
that it says He is the minister
Of Gcd This is in the singular
term; in this GU FREUD will have
to say that there remains a sec
ret, for am confident that it
would be hard to tell IN this day
which one it had reference too,
the Ear Of Russia, or Mahomet
or the Mormon Prophet or the
Prince Of Wales. or pope or the
President of the United States.
In this we repeat there would
be q deep secret hid to the eyes
and minds of the many, and it
would have to be in the church =
SO it may be a good thing for the
brother that he referred us to the
above scripture--Iie may have
jhe privilege Of investigating
he Word Of God until he will see
hat there is something for him

True Success.

The man whose life. outwardy all de-
feat, il steadily expanding in its interest
and sympathies. steadily growing in power
TO bear and suffer and be strong has the
blessed consciousness Of coming into his
kingdom. No outward disaster, no exter-
nal obstacle or limitation, can ever defeat
true life; the soul can escape all these
things az the bird escapes the perils of the
snare and the net by flying above them.
This highest success lies within the grasp
Of every earnest man or woman, and II is
rarely without attestation Of its presence
and value. even in the eyes Of those who
take small account OF spiritual things.
There is a force which streams from no.
be nature which is irresistible and perva-
sive as the sunlight. The warmth and VIZ
tality OF such natures, while they invigor-
ate the strongest men and women about
them, penetrate to the heart o! clouded
and obscure lives and minister to their
needs. There IL no success so satisfying "a
