Ars quatuor coronatorum. Pray we now to God almyght, And to hys moder Mary bryght, That we mowe keepe these artyculu's here, And these poynts wel al y-fere, 500 As dede these holy martyres fowre, That yn thys craft were of gret honoure ; They were as gode masonus as on erthe schul go, Gravers and ymage-makers they were also, For they were werkemen of the beste. The emperour hade to hem gret luste;. He wylned of hem a ymage to make, That mowgh be worscheped for his sake ; Suche mawmetys he hade yn hys dawe, To turne the pepul from Crystus lawe. .">! But they were stedefaste yn Crystes lay, And to here craft, withouten nay ; They loved wel God and alle hys lore, And weren yn hys serves ever more. 520 30 world's masonic register. Trwe men they were yn that dawe, And lyved wel y Goddus lawe ; They thought no mawmetys for to make, For no good that they myjth take, To levyn on that mawmetys for here God, They nolde do so, thaw^ he were wod ; For they nolde not forsake here trw fay, An byleve on hys falsse lay. The emperour let take hem sone anone, And putte hem ynto a dep presone : The sarre he penest hem yn that plase, The more yoye wes to hem of Cristus grace. Thenne when he sye no nother won, To dethe he lette hem thenne gon ; Whose wol of here lyf set mor knowe, By the bok he may hyt schowe, 530 In the legent of scanctorum, The names of quatuor coronatorum. Here fest wol be, withoute nay, After Alle Halwen the eyght day. 3e mow here as y do rede, That mony ^eres after, for gret drede That Noees flod was alle y-ronne, The tower of Babyloyne was begonne, Also playne werke of lyme and ston, As any mon schulde loke uppon ; 540 So long and brod hyt was begonne, Seven myle the he^ghte schadweth the sonne. Kyng Nabogodonoser let hyt make, To gret strenthe for monus sake, Tha^gh suche a flod ajayne schulde come, Over the werke hyt schulde not nome ; For they hadde so hye pride, with strange bost, Alle that werke therfore wos y-lost ; An angele smot hem so with dyveres speche, That never won wyste what other schuld reche. 550 Mony eres after, the goode clerk Euclyde Ta^ghte the craft of gemetr6 wonder wyde, So he dede that tyme other also, Of dyvers craftes mony mo. Through hye grace of Crist yn heven, He commensed yn the syens seven ; Gramatica ys the furste syens y-wysse, Diabetica the secunde, so have y blysse, Rethorica the thrydde, without nay, Musica ys the fowrth, as y jow say, 5G0 Astromia ys the v, by my snowte, Arsmetica the vi, withoute dowte, world's masonic register. 31 Gemetria the seventhe maketh an ende, For he ys bothe meke and hende. Gramer forsothe ys the rote, Whose wyl lurne on the boke ; But art passeth yn hys degre\ As the fryte doth the rote of the tre ; Rethoryk metryth with orne speche amonge, And musyke hyt ys a swete songe ; 570 Astronomy nombreth, my dere brother, Arsmetyk scheweth won thyng that ys another, Gemetre' the seventhe syens hyt ysse, That con deperte falshed from trewthe y-wys. These ben the syens seven, Whose useth hem wel, he may han heven. Now dere chyldren, by ^owre wytte, Pride and covetyse that ^e leven hytte, And taketh hede to goode dyserecyon, And to good norter, whersever ^e com. 580 Now y pray £ow take good hede, For thys' je most kenne nede, But muche more ^e moste wyten, Thenne ^e fynden hyr y-wryten. 3ef the fayle thereto wytte, Pray to God to sende the hytte ; For Crist hymself, he techet ous That holy churche ys Goddes hous, That ys y-mad for nothynge ellus But for to pray yn, as the bok tellus ; 590 Ther the pepul schal gedur ynne, To pray and wepe for here synne. Loke thou come not to churche late, For to speke harlotry by the gate ; Thenne to churche when thou dost fare, Have yn thy mynde ever mare To worschepe thy Lord God bothe day and ny^th, With all thy wyttes, and eke thy mygth. To the churche dore when thou dost come, Of that holy water ther sum thow nome, 600 For every drope thou felust ther Qwenchet a venyal synne, be thou ser. But furst thou most do down thy hode, For hyse love that dyed on the rode. Into the churche when thou dost gon, Pulle uppe thy herte to Crist, anon ; Uppon the rode thou loke uppe then, And knele down fayre on bothe thy knen; Then pray to hym so hyr to worche, After the lawe of holy churche, Bid 620 32 world's masonic register. For to kepe the comandementes ten, That God jaf to alle men ; And pray to hym with mylde steven To kepe the from the synnes seven, That thou hyr mowe, yn thy lyve, Kepe the wel from care and stryve; Forthermore he grante the grace, In heven blysse to han a place. In holy churche lef nyse wordes Of lewed speche, and fowle wordes, And putte away alle vanyte\ And say thy pater noster and thyn ave; Loke also thou make no bere, But ay to be yn thy prayere ; 3ef thou wolt not thyselve pray, Latte non other mon by no way. In that place nowther sytte ny stonde, But knele fayre down on the gronde, And, when the Gospel me rede schal, Fayre thou stonde up fro the wal, 630 And blesse the fayre, gel that thou conne, When gloria tibi is begonne ; And when the gospel ys y-done, A^ayn thou my^th knele adown ; On bothe thy knen down thou falle, For hyse love that bow^th us alle ; And when thou herest the belle rynge To that holy sakerynge, Knele je most, bothe jynge and olde, And bothe jor hondes fayn upholde, 640 And say thenne yn thys manere, Fayr and softe, withoute bere : " Jhesu Lord, welcom thou be, Yn forme of bred, as y the se ! Now Jhesu, for thyn holy name, Schulde me from synne and schame ; Schryff and hosel thou grant me bo, 3er that y schal hennus go, And very contrycyon of my synne, That y never, Lord, dye therynne ; 650 And, as thou were of a mayde y-bore, Sofre me never to be y-lore ; But when y schal hennus wende, Grante me the blysse withoute ende ; Amen ! amen ! so mot hyt be ! Now, swete lady, pray for me." Thus thou my^ht say, or sum other thynge, When thou knelust at the sakerynge. world's masonic register. 33 For covetyse after good, spare thou nought To worschepe hym that alle hath wroght ; 660 For glad may a mon that day ben, That onus yn the day may hym sen ; Hyt ys so muche worthe, withoute nay, The vertu therof no mon telle may; But so meehe good doth that syht, As seynt Austyn telluth ful ryht, That day thou syst Goddus body, Thou schalt have these, ful securly : — Mete and drynke at tny nede, Non that day schal the gnede ; 670 Ydul othes, and wordes bo, God for^eveth the also ; Soden deth, that ylke day, The dar not drede by no way; Also that day, y the plyht Thou schalt not lese thy eye syht ; And uche fote that thou gost then, That holy syht for to sen, They schul be told to stoude yn stede, When thou hast therto gret nede; OHI That messongere, the angele Gabryelle, Wol kepe hem to the full welle. From thys mater now y may passe, To telle mo medys of the masse : To churche come ^et, ^ef thou may, And here thy masse uche day ; 3ef thou mowe not come to churche, Wher that thou doste worche, When thou herest to masse knylle, Pray to God with herte stylle, 690 To jeve the part of that servyse, That yn churche ther don yse.

The following regulations, among others, were made at a General Assembly, held on the 27th of December 5663, at which Henry Jermyn, Earl of St. Albans, was elected Grand Master, who appointed Sir John Denham, Knight, his Deputy, and Christopher Wren and John "Webb his "Wardens : — 1. " That no person, of what degree soever, be made or accepted a Freemason unless in a regular Lodge, whereof one to be a Master or a Warden in that limit or division where such Lodge is kept, and another to be a Craftsman in the trade of Freemasonry. 2. " That no person hereafter shall be accepted a Freemason but such as are of able body, honest parentage, good reputation, and an observer of the laws of the land. 3. " That no person hereafter, who shall be accepted as a Freemason, shall be admitted into any Lodge or Assembly, until he has brought a certificate of the time and place of his acceptation from the Lodge that accepted him, unto the Master of that limit or division where such Lodge is kept. And the said Master shall enroll the same in a roll of parchment to be kept for that purpose, and shall give an account of all such acceptations at every General Assembly. 4. " That every person who is now a Freemason, shall bring to the Master a note of the time of his acceptation, to the end the same may be enrolled in such priority of place as the brother deserves ; and that the whole company and fel- lows may the better know each other. 5. " That for the future, the said fraternity of Freemasons shall be regulated and governed by one Grand Master and as many Wardens as the said Society shall think fit to appoint at every Annual General Assembly. 6. " That no person shall be accepted unless he be twenty-one years old, or more." CHARGES READ AT INSTALLATION. The Lodge of Antiquity in London has in its possession the manuscript of the following charges written in the reign of James the Second : — "***** And furthermore, at divers assemblies have been put and or- dained divers crafties, by the best advise of magistrates and fellows, Tunc unus ex senioribus tenet librum, et illiponent rnanum suam super librum. " Every man that is a Mason take good heed to these charges (wee pray,) that if any man find himselfe guilty of any of these charges that he may amend himselfe or principally for dread of God ; you that be charged take good heed (40) world's masonic register. 41 that you keepe all these charges well ; for it is a great evil for a man to for- swear himselfe upon a book. " The first charge is, That yee shall be true men to God and the holy church, and to use no error or heresie by your understanding and by wise men's teach- ing. Also, " Secondly, That yee shall be true liege men to the King of England, without treason or any falsehood, and that yee know no treason or treachery, but yee shall give knowledge thereof to the King, or to his counsell ; also yee shall be true one to another, (that is to say) every Mason of the craft that is Mason al- lowed, yee shall doe to him as yee would be done unto yourselfe. " Thirdly, And yee shall keepe truely all the counsell that ought to be kept in the way of Masonhood, and all the counsell of the Lodge or of the chamber. Also, that yee shall be no thiefe, nor thieves to your knowledge free : that yee shall be true to the king, lord, or master that yee serve, and truely to see and worke for his advantage. < " Fourthly, Yee shall call all Masons your fellows, or your brethren, and no other names. " Fifthly, Yee shall not take your fellow's wife in villany, nor deflower his daughter or servant, nor put him to no disworship. " Sixthly, Yee shall truely pay for your meat, or drinke wheresoever yee goe, to table or bord. Also, yee shall doe no villany there, whereby the craft or science may be slandered. " These be the charges general to every true Mason, both Masters and Fel- lows." " Now will I rehearse other charges single for Masons allowed oraccepted. " First, That no Mason take on him no lord's worke, nor any other man's, un- less he know himselfe well able to perform the worke, so that the craft have no slander. " Secondly, Also, that no Master take worke, but that he take reasonable pay for itt ; so that the lord may be truely served, and the master to live honestly, and to pay his fellows truely. And that no master or fellow supplant others of their worke, (that is to say) that if he hath taken a worke, or else stand master of any worke, that he shall not put him out, unless he be unable of cunning to make an end of his worke. And no master nor fellow shall take no apprintice for less than seaven years. And that the apprintice be free-born, and of limbs whole as a man ought to be, and no bastard. And that no master or fellow take no allowance to be made Mason without the assent of his fellows, at the least six or seaven. " Thirdly, That he that be made be able in all degrees ; that is, free-born, of a good kindred, true, and no bondsman, and that he have his right limbs as a man ought to have. " Fourthly, That a master take no apprintice without he have occupation to occupy two or three fellows at the least. " Fifthly, That no master or fellow put away any lord's worke to taske that ought to be journey-worke. " Sixthly, That every master give pay to his fellows and servants as they may deserve, soe that he be not defamed with false workeing. And that none slander another behind his backe, to make him loose his good name. 42 world's masonic register. " Seaventhly, That no fellow in the house or abroad answear another ungodly or reproveably without a cause. " Eighthly, That every Master Mason doe reverence his elder ; and that a Mason be no common plaier at the cards, dice, or hazard ; or at any other nn- lawful plaies, through the which the science and craft may be dishonoured and slandered. " Ninthly, That no fellow goe into the town by night, except he have a fellow with him, who may bear him record that he was in an honest place. " Tenthly, That every master and fellow shall come to the Assemblie, if itt be within fifty miles of him, if he have any warning. And if he have trespassed against the craft to abide the award of masters and fellows. " Eleventhly, That every Master Mason and fellow that hath trespassed against the craft shall stand to the correction of other masters and fellows to make him accord ; and if they cannot accord, to go to the common law. " Twelfthly, That a Master or fellow make not a mould-stone, square, nor rule, to no lowen, nor let no lowen worke within their Lodge, nor without, to mould-stone. " Thirteenthly, That every Mason receive and cherish strange fellows when they come over the countrie, and set them on worke if they will worke, as the manner is, (that is to say) if the Mason have any mould-stone in his place, he shall give him a mould-stone, and sett him on worke ; and if he have none, the Mason shall refresh him with money unto the next Lodge. " Eourteenthly, That every Mason shall truely serve his master for his pay. " Fifteenthly, That every master shall truely make an end of his worke, taske, or journey, whithersoe it be. " These be all the charges and covenants that ought to be read at the install- ment of Master, or making of a Freemason or Freemasons. The Almighty God of Jacob, who ever have you and me in his keeping, bless us now and ever. Amen." The Charges of a Freemason, extracted from the ancient records of Lodges beyond sea, and of those in England, Scotland, and Ire- land, for the use of the lodges in London.

A Mason is obliged, by his tenure, to obey the moral law ; and if he rightly understands the art, he will never be a stupid Atheist, nor an irreligious libertine. But though in ancient times Masons were charged in every country to be of the religion of that country or nation, whatever it was, yet it is now thought more expedient only to oblige them to that religion in which all men agree, leaving their particular opinions to themselves ; that is, to be good men and true, or men of honour and honesty, by whatever denominations or persuasions they may be distinguished ; whereby Masonry becomes the centre of union, and the means of conciliating true friendship among persons that must have remained at a per- petual distance. II. Of the Civil Magistrate, supreme and subordinate. A Mason is a peaceable subject to the civil powers, wherever he resides or works, and is never to be concerned in plots and conspiracies against the peace and welfare of the nation, nor to behave himself undutifully to inferior magis- trates ; for as Masonry hath been always injured by war, bloodshed, and confu- sion, so ancient kings and princes have been much disposed to encourage the Craftsmen, because of their peaceableness and loyalty, whereby they practically answered the cavils of their adversaries, and promoted the honour of the Fra- ternity, who ever nourished in times of peace. So that if a Brother should be a rebel against the State, he is not to be countenanced in his rebellion, however he may be pitied as an unhappy man ; and, if convicted of no other crime, though the loyal Brotherhood must and ought to disown his rebellion, and give no umbrage or ground of political jealousy to the government for the time being, they cannot expel him from the Lodge, and his relation to it remains indefeasible. III. Of Lodges. A Lodge is a place where Masons assemble and work : hence that assembly or duly-organized society of Masons is called a Lodge, and every Brother ought to belong to one, and to be subject to its By-Laws and the General Regulations. It is either particular or general, and will be best understood by attending it, and by the Begulations of the General or Grand Lodge hereunto annexed. In ancient times, no Master or Fellow could be absent from it, especially when warned to appear at it, without incurring a severe censure, until it appeared to the Master and "Wardens that pure necessity hindered him. The persons admitted members of a Lodge must be good and true men, free- born, and of mature and discreet age, no bondmen, no women, no immoral or scandalous men, but of good report. IV. Of Masters, Wardens, Fellows, and Apprentices. All preferment among Masons is grounded upon real worth and personal merit only ; that so the Lords may be well served,' the Brethren not put to shame, nor the royal Craft despised ; therefore no Master or Warden is chosen by seniority, but for his merit. It is impossible to describe these things in writing, and every Brother must attend in his place, and learn them in a way peculiar to this Fra- 4 44 world's masonic register. ternity : only candidates may know, that no Master should take an Apprentice unless he has sufficient employment for him, anjl unless, he be a perfect youth, having no maim or defect in his body, that may render him incapable of learn- ing the art, of serving his Master's lord, and of being made a Brother, and then a Fellow Craft in due time, even after he has served such a term of years as the custom of the country directs; and that he should be descended of honest parents; that so, when otherwise qualified, he may arrive to the honour of being the "Warden, and then the Master of the Lodge, the Grand "Warden, and at length the Grand Master of all the Lodges, according to his merit. No Brother can be a "Warden until he has passed the part of a Fellow Craft ; nor a Master until he has acted as a "Warden, nor Grand "Warden until he has been Master of a Lodge, nor Grand Master unless he has been a Fellow Craft before his election, who is also to be nobly born, or a gentleman of the best fashion, or some eminent scholar, or some curious architect, or other artist, de- scended of honest parents, and who is of singular great merit in the opinion of the Lodges. And for the better, and easier, and more honourable discharge of his office, the Grand Master has a power to choose his own Deputy Grand Mas- ter, who must be then, or must have been formerly, the Master of a particular Lodge, and has the privilege of acting whatever the Grand Master, his principal, should act, unless the said principal be present, or interpose his authority by a letter. These rulers and governors, supreme and subordinate, of the ancient Lodge, are to be obeyed in their respective stations by all the Brethren, according to 1 the old Charges and Begulations, with all humility, reverence, love, and alacrity. V. Op the Management op the Craft in working. All Masons shall work honestly on working days, that they may live credit- ably on holy days ; and the time appointed by the law of the land, or confirmed by custom, shall be observed. The most expert of the Fellow Craftsmen shall be chosen or appointed the Master, or overseer of the lord's work ; who is to be called Master by those that work under him. The Craftsmen are to avoid all ill language, and to call each other by no disobliging name, but Brother or Fellow ; and to behave them- selves courteously within and without the Lodge. The Master, knowing himself to be able of cunning, shall undertake the lord's work as reasonably as possible, and truly dispend his goods as if they were his own ; nor to give more wages to any Brother or Apprentice than he really may deserve. Both the Master and the Masons receiving their wages justly, shall be faithful to the lord, and honestly finish their worlc, whether task or journey; nor put the work to task that hath been accustomed to journey. None shall discover envy at the prosperity of a Brother, nor supplant him, or put him out of his work, if he be capable to finish the same ; for no man can finish another's work so much to the lord's profit, unless he be thoroughly acquainted with the designs and draughts of him that began it. "When a Fellow Craftsman is chosen "Warden of the work under the Master, he shall be true both to Master and Fellows, shall carefully oversee the work in the Master's absence to the lord's profit ; and his Brethren shall obey him. world's masonic register. 45 All Masons employed, shall meekly receive their wages without murmuring or mutiny, and not desert the Master till the work is finished. A younger Brother shall be instructed in working, to prevent spoiling the materials for want of judgment, and for increasing and continuing of brotherly love. All the tools used in working shall be approved by the Grand Lodge. No labourer shall be employed in the proper work of Masonry, nor shall Free Masons work with those that are not free, without an urgent necessity ; nor shall they teach labourers and unaccepted Masons, as they should teach a Brother or Fellow. VI. Of Behaviour, viz.: 1. In the Lodge while constituted. Tou are not to hold private committees, or separate conversation, without leave from the Master, nor to talk of anything impertinent or unseemly, nor interrupt the Master or Wardens, or any Brother speaking to the Master ; nor behave yourself ludicrously or jestingly while the Lodge is engaged in what is serious and solemn : nor use any unbecoming language upon any pretence what- soever ; but to pay due reverence to your Master, "Wardens, and Fellows, and put them to worship. If any complaint be brought, the Brother found guilty shall stand to the award and determination of the Lodge, who are the proper and competent judges of all such controversies, (unless you carry it by appeal to the Grand Lodge,) and to whom they ought to be referred, unless a lord's work be hindered the mean- while, in which case a particular reference may be made ; but you must never go to law about what concerneth Masonry, without an absolute necessity appa- rent to the Lodge. 2. Behaviour after the Lodge is over, and the Brethren not gone. Tou may enjoy yourselves with innocent mirth, treating one another according to ability, but avoiding all excess, or forcing any Brother to eat or drink beyond his inclination, or hindering him from going when his occasions call him, or doing or saying anything offensive, or that may forbid an easy and free conversation ; for that would blast our harmony, and defeat our laudable purposes. Therefore no private piques or quarrels must be brought within the door of the Lodge, far less any quarrels about religion, or nations, or state policy, we being only, as Masons, of the Catholic religion above mentioned ; we are also of all nations, tongues, kindreds, and languages, and are resolved against all politics, as what never yet conduced to the welfare of the Lodge, nor ever will. This Charge has been always strictly enjoined and observed, but especially ever since the Reformation in Britain, or the dissent and secession of these nations from the communion of Borne. 3. Behaviour when Brethren meet without Strangers, hut not in a Lodge formed. You are to salute one another in a courteous manner, as you will be instructed, calling each other Brother, freely giving mutual instruction as shall be thought expedient, without being overseen or overheard, and without encroaching upon 46 -world's masonic register. each other, or derogating from that respect which is due to any Brother, were he not a Mason ; for though all Masons are as Brethren upon the same level, yet Masonry takes no honour from a man that he had before; nay, rather it adds to his honour, especially if he has deserved well of the Brotherhood, who must give honour to whom it is due, and avoid ill manners. 4. Behaviour in Presence of Strangers not Masons. You shall be cautious in your words and carriage, that the most penetrating stranger shall not be able to discover or find out what is not proper to be inti- mated ; and sometimes you shall divert a discourse, and manage it prudently for the honour of the worshipful Fraternity. 5. Behaviour at Home, and in your Neighbourhood. You are to act as becomes a moral and wise man ; particularly, not to let your family, friends, and neighbours know the concerns of the Lodge, etc., but wisely to consult your own honour, and that of the ancient Brotherhood, for reasons not to be mentioned here. You must also consult your health, by not continu- ing together too late, or too long from home, after Lodge hours are past ; and by avoiding of gluttony or drunkenness, that your families be not neglected or injured, nor you disabled from working. 6. Behaviour towards a strange Brother. You are cautiously to examine him, in such a method as prudence shall direct you, that you may not be imposed upon by an ignorant false pretender, whom you are to reject with contempt and derision, and beware of giving him any hints of knowledge. But if you discover him to be a true and genuine Brother, you are to respect him accordingly ; and if he is in want, you must relieve him if you can, or else direct him how he may be relieved : you must employ him some days, or else recommend him to be employed. But you are not charged to do beyond your ability, only to prefer a poor Brother, that is a good man and true, before any other poor people in the same circumstances. Finally, all these Charges you are to observe, and also those that shall be communicated to you in another way; cultivating brotherly love, the foundation and cape-stone, the cement and glory of this ancient Fraternity, avoiding all wrangling and quarrelling, all slander and backbiting, nor permitting others to slander any honest Brother, but defending his character, and doing him all good offices, as far as is consistent with your honour and safety, and no farther. And if any of them do you injury, you must apply to your own or his Lodge ; and , from thence you may appeal to the Grand Lodge at the quarterly communica- tion, and from thence to the annual Grand Lodge, as has been the ancient laud- able conduct of our forefathers in every nation ; never taking a legal course but when the case cannot be otherwise decided, and patiently listening to the honest and friendly advice of Master and Fellows, when they would prevent your going to law with strangers, or would excite you to put a speedy period to all law-suits, that so you may mind the affair of Masonry with the more alacrity and success ; but with respect to Brothers or Fellows at law, the Master and Brethren should kindly offer their mediation, which ought to be thankfully submitted to by the contending Brethren ; and if that submission is impracticable, they must how- world's masonic register. 47 ever carry on their process, or law-suit, without wrath and rancor, (not in the common way,) saying or doing nothing which may hinder brotherly love, and good offices to be renewed and continued ; that all may see the benign influence of Masonry, as all true Masons have done from the beginning of the world, and will do to the end of time. Amen. So mote it be. The preceding Charges, commonly called Anderson's Constitution, were com- piled by James Anderson, approved by the Grand Lodge of England, and ordered to be printed in the first edition of the Book of Constitutions, on March 25, 5722. The following were compiled by the same James Anderson, and also approved by the Grand Lodge of England, and printed in its second edition of the Book of Constitutions, 25th January, 5738. The Old Charges of the Free and Accepted Masons, collected by the Author from their old Records, at the command of the Grand Master, the present Duke of Montagu. Approved by the Grand Lodge, and ordered to be printed in the first edition of the Book of Constitutions, on 25th March, 1722. I. Charge. — Concerning God and Beligion. A Mason is obliged by his tenure to observe the Moral Law, as a true Noachida ; and if he rightly understands the Craft, he will never be a stupid Atheist, nor an irreligious libertine, nor act against conscience. In ancient times the Christian Masons were charged to comply with the Chris- tian usages of each country where they travelled or worked ; but Masonry being found in all nations, even of divers religions, they are now only charged to ad- here to that religion in which all men agree, (leaving each Brother to his own particular opinions,) that is, to be good men and true, men of honour and honesty, by whatever names, religions or persuasions, they may be distinguished : for they all agree in the three great articles of Noah, enough to preserve the cement of the Lodge. Thus Masonry is the centre of their union and the happy means of conciliating persons that otherwise must have remained at a perpetual dis- tance. II. Charge. — Of the Civil Magistrate, Supreme and Subordinate. A Mason is a peaceable subject, never to be concerned in plots against the State, nor disrespectful to inferior Magistrates. Of old, Kings, Princes, and States encouraged the Fraternity for their loyalty, who ever flourished most in times of peace. But though a Brother is not to be countenanced in his rebellion against the State, yet if convicted of no other crime, his relation to the Lodge remains indefeasible. III. Charge. — Concerning Lodges. A Lodge is a place where Masons meet to work in ; hence the Assembly, or duly organized body of Masons, is called a Lodge ; just as the word Church is expressive both of the Congregation and of the place of worship. Every 48 world's masonic register. Brother should belong to some particular Lodge, and cannot be absent without incurring censure, if not necessarily detained. The men made Masons must be free-born, (or no bondmen,) of mature age and of good report, hale and sound, not deformed or dismembered at the time of their making. But no woman, no eunuch. AVhen men of quality, eminence, wealth and learning apply to be made, they are to be respectfully accepted, after due examination : for such often prove good lords (or founders) of work, and will not employ Cowans when true Masons can he had ; they also make the best officers of Lodges and the best Designers, to the honour and strength of the Lodge ; nay, from among them the Fraternity can have a noble Grand Master. But those Brethren are equally subject to the Charges and Regulations, except in what more immediately concerns operative Masons. IV. Charge. — Of Masters, Wardens, Fellows and Prentices. All preferment among Masons is grounded upon real worth and personal merit only, not upon seniority. No Master should take a Prentice that is not the son of honest parents, a perfect youth without maim or defect in his body, and capable of learning the mysteries of the Art ; that so the lords (or founders) may be well served and the Craft not despised ; and that, when of age and ex- pert, he may become an Entered Prentice, or a Freemason of the lowest degree, and upon his due improvements a Fellow Craft and a Master Mason, capable to undertake a lord's work. The Wardens are chosen from among the Master Masons, and no Brother can be a Master of a Lodge till he has acted as Warden somewhere, except in extraordinary cases, or when a Lodge is to be formed where none such can be had ; for then three Master Masons, though never Masters or Wardens of Lodges before, may be constituted Master and Wardens of that new Lodge. But no number without three Master Masons can form a Lodge ; and none can be the Grand Master or a Grand Warden who has not acted as the Master of a parti- cular Lodge. "V. Charge. — Of the Management of the Craft in Working. All Masons should work hard and honestly on working days, that they may live reputably on holy days ; and the working-hours appointed by law or con- firmed by custom shall be observed. A Master Mason only must be the Surveyor or Master of Work, who shall undertake the lord's work reasonably, shall truly dispend his goods as if they were his own, and shall not give more wages than just to any Fellow or Prentice. The Wardens shall be true both to Master and Fellows, taking care of all things, both within and without the Lodge, especially in the Master's absence; and their Brethren shall obey them. The Master and the Masons shall faithfully finish the lord's work, whether task or journey ; nor shall take the work at task which hath been accustomed to journey. None shall show envy at a Brother's prosperity, nor supplant him or put him out of his work, if capable to finish it. All Masons shall meekly receive their wages without murmuring or mutiny, world's masonic eegistee. 49 and not desert the Master till the lord's work is finished ; they must avoid ill language, calling each other Brother or Fellow with much courtesy, both within and without the Lodge ; they shall instruct a younger Brother to become bright and expert, that the lord's materials may not be spoiled. But Free and Accepted Masons shall not allow Cowans to work with them, nor shall they be employed by Cowans, without an urgent necessity; and even in that case they must not teach Cowans, but must have a separate Communication. No labourer shall be employed in the proper work of Freemasons. VI. Charge. — Concerning Mason's Behaviour. I. Behaviour in the Lodge before closing. You must not hold private committees nor separate conversation without leave from the Master ; nor talk of anything impertinent ; nor interrupt the Master or Wardens, or any Brother speaking to the Chair ; nor act ludicrously while the Lodge is engaged in what is serious and solemn ; but you are to pay due reverence to the Master, Wardens and Fellows, and put them to worship. Every Brother found guilty of a fault shall stand to the award of the Lodge, unless he appeals to the Grand Lodge, or unless a lord's work is retarded : for then a particular reference may be made. No private piques, no quarrels about nations, families, religions or politics must be brought within the door of the Lodge : for as Masons we are of the oldest Catholic religion above hinted, and of all nations upon the Square, Level and Plumb ; and like our predecessors in all ages, we are resolved against polit- ical disputes, as contrary to the peace and welfare of the Lodge. 2. Behaviour after the Lodge is closed and the Brethren not gone. You may enjoy yourselves with innocent mirth, treating one another accord- ing to ability, but avoiding all excess ; not forcing any Brother to eat or drink beyond his own inclination, (according to the old Begulation of King Ahas- uerus, page 24, line 1,) nor hindering him from going home when he pleases ; ' for though after Lodge hours you are like other men, yet the blame of your ex- cess may be thrown upon the Fraternity, though unjustly. 3. Behaviour at Meeting without Strangers, but not in a formed Lodge. You are to salute one another as you have been or shall be instructed, freely communicating hints of knowledge, but without disclosing secrets, unless to those that have given long proof of their taciturnity and honour, and without derogating from the respect due to any Brother, were he not a Mason : for though all Brothers and Fellows are upon the Level, yet Masonry divests no man of the honour due to him before he was made a Mason, or that shall be- come his due afterwards ; nay rather, it adds to his respect, teaching us to give honour to whom it is due, especially to a noble or eminent Brother, whom we should distinguish from all of his rank or station and serve him readily, accord- ing to our ability. 4. Behaviour in presence of Strangers not Masons. You must be cautious in your words, carriage and motions, that so the most penetrating stranger may not be able to discover what is not proper to be inti- 50 world's masonic kegistek. mated; and the impertinent or insnaring questions or ignorant discourse of strangers must be prudently managed by Freemasons. 5. Behaviour at home and in your neighborhood. Masons ought to be moral men, as above charged ; consequently good hus- bands, good parents, good sons and good neighbours, not staying too long from home and avoiding all excess ; yet wise men, too, for certain reasons known to them. 6. Behaviour towards a foreign Brother or Stranger. You are cautiously to examine him, as prudence shall direct you, that you may not be imposed upon by a pretender, whom you are to reject with derision and beware of giving him any hints. But if you discover him to be true and faithful, you are to respect him as a Brother, and if in want, you are to relieve him if you can, or else direct him* how he may be relieved; you must employ him if you can, or else recommend him to be employed ; but you are not charged to do beyond ability. 7. Behaviour behind a Brother's back as well as before his face. Free and Accepted Masons have been ever charged to avoid all slandering and backbiting of a true and faithful Brother, or talking disrespectfully of his person or performances, and all malice or unjust resentment ; nay. you must not suffer any others to reproach an honest Brother, but shall defend his char- acter as far as is consistent with honour, safety, and prudence, though no farther. i VII. Charge. — Concerning Law-suits. If a Brother do you injury, apply first to your own or his Lodge ; and if you are not satisfied, you may appeal to the Grand Lodge ; but you must never take a legal course till the cause cannot be otherwise decided : for if the affair is only between Masons and about Masonry, law-suits ought to be prevented by the good advice of prudent Brethren, who are the best referees of such differ- ences. But if that reference is either impracticable or unsuccessful, and the affair must be brought into the courts of law or equity, yet still you must avoid all wrath, malice and rancour in carrying on the suit, not saying or doing anything that may hinder either the continuance or the renewal of brotherly love and friendship, which is the glory and cementof this ancient Fraternity ; that we may show to all the world the benign influence of Masonry, as all wise, true and faithful Brothers have done from the beginning of time, and will do till Architecture shall be dissolved in the general conflagration. Amen. So mote it be. All these Charges you are to observe, and also those that shall be communi- cated unto you in a way that cannet be written. ALABAMA. GRAND LODGE.

DISPENSING WITH A SUPPER. I was present, a few years since, at a communication 'of one of the Lodges in the City of Charleston, South Carolina, (St. Andrew's, No. 10,) when an appli- cation from the widow of a Mason for charity was read by the Worshipful Master. It was the custom then of that Lodge, as it was of many others, to sit down, at frequent seasons, to a plentiful though not extravagant supper, after the labors of the evening had been closed. On the present occasion, after the letter had been read, and while the members were consulting as to the amount of relief which the Lodge could afford to give, the Senior "Warden arose in his place, and remarked as follows : — "Worshipful Sir, The supper of which the Lodge will partake at the next, meeting will cost at least twenty-five dollars ; this amount, however, I propose to save to the Lodge ; I therefore suggest that we abandon the idea of a supper, and that the amount which it would cost be bestowed upon the widow whose letter lies on your pedestal." The motion was carried by acclamation. The Brethren dispensed with the supper, and enjoyed a far more delicious feast in the thought that in thus resigning a transient enjoyment they had contributed to the comfort of a Brother's widow. — The Mystic Tie.

The following anecdote is to be found in the London Freemasons' Quarterly Review. It is related on the authority, and almost in the words of Brother Blaquierre, Provincial Deputy Grand Master for Bengal, a man who, at the patriarchal age of ninety-three, gave the testimony of his long experience to the excellency of Freemasonry. "A medical gentleman had realized a moderate fortune in the Brazils, and intending to return to England, he invested the fruits of his industry in precious stones, which were secured in a small box. This treasure he shipped on board a vessel, secured his own passage in another, and safely reached England. But alas for him ! scarcely had he arrived, when he received the fatal intelligence that the vessel, on board of which he had freighted his entire fortune, had been wrecked on the coast of Cornwall. Thus, in his declining years, the means of subsistence had vanished from him ; he had returned to his native land poorer than he had left it. About a twelvemonth had passed, when, one day, a stranger called at his humble lodgings and inquired for him ; he was admitted. The stranger, who was closely muffled up, and appeared desirous of concealment, asked a few questions relating to the Brazils, and others as to the circumstances of our hero, who felt somewhat disconcerted. At length the stranger drew from under his cloak the identical box containing the lost treasure ; his surprise and emotion satisfied the stranger, who, simply asking him if it was his, imme- diately delivered it to him, and made a sign. All that transpired was, that the box came into the possession of the stranger, who, on opening it, found at the top a snuff-box with Masonic emblems, and a name that enabled him, after much difficulty, to discover the real owner. The stranger took a hasty leave, and was no more heard of. Conjecture pointed at the possibility of his being what is termed 'a wrecker;' but the ways of Providence are inscrutable in teaching the powerful lessons of retribution. Masonry, as a moral engine, has elicited many mysterious instances of the power of the human heart, however depraved, to correct itself. But to the sequel. The snuff-box became dear to the party thus restored to prosperity; and in time it was bequeathed to a gentle- man, who, thinking that it should remain in the hands of a zealous Mason, pre- sented it to Brother Blaquierre, whose successors will, no doubt, prize it as a sign and token of Masonic interest."

The following anecdote was contributed to the Freemasons' Quarterly Review by the individual who was one of the actors in this scene of Masonic friendship. By-the-way, it may be remarked, that Don Miguel has always been considered as the beau ideal of an anti-mason, and was not less distinguished for his perse- cution of the order than he was for his desecration of everything else that was pure, or true, or noble. " The son of a Portuguese nobleman and myself spent some few years of oar early youth together ; the friendship of boyhood was interrupted by the changes consequent on our relative stations. He returned to his family ; I embarked in commercial pursuits. In 1828, my engagements directed me to Lisbon, where our former friendship was renewed, and, if possible, with increased warmth on both sides. My friend was aid-de-camp to Don Miguel ; and as a mark of respect to my feelings, he became a Freemason, and paid very considerable attention to its observances and dictates. If not altogether inseparable, we were mutually bound by a tie of deep interest ; our tastes agreed in every par- ticular ; he delighted in my prospect of commercial success ; and although, as an Englishman, I did not approve of Don Miguel, the position of my friend led me to look on that policy with less severity than might otherwise have been the case. "My friend one day called on me, evidently in a disturbed state of mind, and told me that he was about to prove to me, as a Mason, how powerfully he rever- enced his obligation. ' The king,' said he, ' has decreed the arrest of forty gentle- men now on board the " Duke of York" steamer : they are liberals, and are of your opinions. When taken, there will be no chance of their lives. The order is now in my office, awaiting my signature ; I will take care not to return until you shall have had time to apprise them of their danger : there shall be three hours clear for such purpose, and a boat with four men is ready. One hug — it may be the last I' We did not speak— he left me. I hastened to fulfill his command, reached the boat, and being an Englishman, my dashing through a number of armed boats was merely ascribed to some frolic. I gained the steamer, and, as may be expected, surprised the party by my information. They immediately left, in boats, and rowed to the ' Pyramus,' and were received by Captain Sartorinus, who protected them, and thus their lives were saved." DELAWARE. GRAND LODGE.

The London Freemasons' Review for December, 1841, contains the fol- lowing anecdote, which is another evidence of the influence of Masonic phi- lanthropy over the heart of the barbarian. " It is now some twenty years since Captain E., late a member of one of the English Universities Lodges, was traveling in Egypt. The Captain was accom- panied by his servant, an active and intelligent young man ; they were attacked in the desert by the Arabs ; the Captain made a very resolute stand, and slew two of the robbers. He was, with his servant, soon overpowered, and they were conveyed to the robbers' retreat, when they were separated. It was de- termined that the Captain's life should be forfeited, and he awaited his cruel destiny with as much fortitude as a brave man could feel. Instead of this aw- ful sentence, he was, however, agreeably surprised in the morning by his serv- ant's approach, with the joyful intelligence that his sentence was not only remit- ted, but that he was at liberty to resume his journey ; and this retributive jus- tice was accompanied by the restoration of every article of the property of which he had previously been plundered. Is it to be wondered at, that his gratitude to his servant ended in his taking early steps to claim a nearer associ- ation to him as a Brother in the Craft, for by the exchange of the mysterious secret, the robber of the desert had kept his faith with a Brother? The servant and the Arab were both Masons, and through the former the master had re- ceived the benefits of the mystic tie." FLORIDA. GRAND LODGE. The Grand Lodge of Florida was organized July 5th, 5830. Its Grand Annual Communications are held in the City of Tallahassee, commencing on the second Monday in January. Its membership is composed of the Grand Officers, Past Grand Officers, Past Masters, and Masters and Wardens, and one Repre- sentative from each subordinate Lodge, who must be a Master Mason. The revenue of the Grand Lodge is as follows : — For a Charter or Dispensation for a new Lodge . . $50 For every initiation 1 For every member 1 There are 34 subordinate Lodges in this jurisdiction, which, according to the last returns, have 1497 members, and show the following exhibit of work: Ini- tiated, 216; Rejected, 73; Expelled, 3; Suspended, 3; Withdrew, 6; and 29 died during the year.

It is certain that Freemasonry was established in the State almost coequal with its settlement as a colony. Distinguished writers assert that as early as 5730 a Lodge was instituted in Georgia. The records of the Grand Lodge of England show that in December, 5733, the new colony in Georgia was recommended to the benevolence of the Lodges by the Deputy Grand Master, and it is on record that considerable donations were collected and distributed among distressed Masons, to encourage the settlement of the new colony, just established at Geor- gia in America. There is a tradition that the first Masonic Lodge ever held in the State of Georgia was constituted and opened by General James Oglethorpe, during the year 5733, under a large oak-tree, which stood near the corner of Bay and Drayton Streets, Savannah, and was called " King Solomon's Lodge." There is, however, another tradition, and tolerably well authenticated, that a Lodge was at work in Savannah before Solomon's Lodge had an existence. It appears that a commission was issued to Roger Lacy, as Provincial Grand Mas- ter, in 5730, prior to his leaving England for the new colony, which commission was subsequently renewed or the authority continued. The Grand Lodge was reorganized as an independent Grand Lodge, Decem- ber 16th, 5786. The Grand Ledge consists of the Masters of the Constituted Lodges, the Past Grand Masters, Past Deputy Grand Masters, Past Grand Wardens, and Past Masters who have actually presided as Master one year within the jurisdiction. The Annual Communications of the Grand Lodge are held in the City of Macon, commencing on the last Wednesday in October. Its revenue is derived from the following sources : — For a Warrant $70 For Dispensations to hold Lodges . For Dispensations to hold elections . For Dispensations to confer two degrees For Dispensations to Initiate, Pass, or Raise For Dispensations to make more than five For Dispensations for any other purpose For Initiations For every Master Mason .... The officers of the Grand Lodge for the present Masonic year, elected No- vember, 5860, are as follows : — William S. Rockwell, M. W. Grand Master. Samuel D. Ikvin, Deputy Grand Master, First District. " John Harris, Deputy Grand Master, Second District. (120) 15 3 10 5 5 1 1 1 GEORGIA. 121 W. W. Botd, Deputy Grand Master, Third District. David E.

At the celebration of the Anniversary of St. John the Evangelist, in 1843, at Oxford, in England, Mr. Blake, the Worshipful Master of the University Lodge, related the following anecdote of the influence of Masonry among the Arabs. " He confessed," he said, " that he had formerly been prejudiced against Free- masonry, but experience abroad had convinced him of his error, and satisfied him that there was something in it beyond the mere name. He once had a friend, who, with his crew, had been wrecked in the Persian Gulf, when an Arab chieftain came down to plunder them, but, on his friend giving the Masonic signs, they were protected and taken to Muscat, where they were not only clothed and properly taken care of, but afterwards taken to Borneo. He knew this to be a fact ; he had it from the lips of his friend who had been wrecked; and it so satisfied him as to the merits of Masonry, that he resolved to embrace the first opportunity of enrolling himself among its members. That pledge he had resumed ; and from the moment he had been initiated, he had felt the deepest interest in the institution, and the greatest desire to promote its interests and extend its benefits."

We assume that Freemasonry links its membership in the golden chain of fraternity — that it cements friendships — that it elevates its disciples morally and intellectually — that it restrains the passions — that the recipients of its mysteries become better, more virtuous, more useful, and better fitted to enjoy the com- munion of the "just made perfect" in the celestial sphere ; but in assuming this, let each member of the craft examine himself closely, and answer the questions, if since his admission into the order he has made any advancement in developing the spiritual part of his nature ? in unfolding the internal qualities of his heart and mind ? if he has become a better man than he was before ? more faithful to his fellow-man ? more true to himself and to his God ? It is vain to assume that Freemasonry improves and elevates those who are initiated into its mysteries, if the effect is not visible in the life and conduct of its disciples. We do not hesitate to assert that if Freemasons will live up to the principles of Free- masonry, that they will become better, more useful and more virtuous men. Then it follows, as a matter of course, that those who are not benefited by their connection with the fraternity, who have not improved in their moral nature, who have made no progress in developing the internal qualities of the heart and mind, have not gained a true knowledge of Freemasonry. Examine — examine yourself, Brother, and see how the case stands with you ; if you have improved by your connection with the Masonic Institution. INDIANA. GRAND LODGE.

Grand Master of the Grand Encampment of the United States, issued his Dispensation for the formation of "Oregon Commandery," to be located at Oregon City. Benedict Arnold was made a Mason in Hiram Lodge, No. 1, New Haven, Connecticut, April 10th, 1765, at which time he was twenty-five years old. PENNSYLVANIA. GRAND LODGE. The early history of Freemasonry in Pennsylvania, as in all of the older Masonic jurisdictions in the United States, is involved in obscurity. It is certain that a Masonic Lodge existed in Philadelphia in 5732, and the gazettes, the only authority existing upon the subject, state that a Grand Lodge was held in 5732, at the " Tun Tavern," on the east side of Water Street, between Walnut and Chestnut Streets, the fashionable hotel of the time. We give below a copy of a letter written by Benjamin Franklin to Henry Price, dated Novem- ber 28th, 5734, who, as the letter shows, wrote to Brother Price immediately on receiving information, unofficially, that his powers as Provincial Grand Master of "Newengland" were extended over all America. This letter, corro- borating the notices in the gazettes, is conclusive that a Grand Lodge existed in Philadelphia at that time ; and that it held its meetings annually, and at which it elected its officers. This letter was written by Brother Franklin to congratulate Brother Price upon his appointment as Provincial Grand Master over all America ; and he, as Grand Master of his Grand Lodge, wishing to be satisfied of the legality of his, Brother Price's, appointment, requested him to send copies of his first deputation, and also copies of the document in which his powers were enlarged, legally attested by his Wardens and signed by the Secre- tary. It will also be noticed that Brother Franklin waived none of his rights as Grand Master, but insisted that only in the presence of a superior officer the chair of the Grand Master of Pennsylvania would be yielded. If, as is generally believed, and as is stated in the Book of Constitutions of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, published in 5798, Brother Price granted a warrant for a Lodge to certain brethren in Philadelphia, and of which Brother Franklin was Master, it covXd not have been the first Lodge established in Philadelphia. It will also be seen that Brother Franklin signs himself, B. Franklin, G. M. "For Mr. Henry Price, at the Brazen Head. "Bight W. G. Master and dear Brethren : — "We acknowledge your favor of the twenty-third of October past, and rejoice that the Grand Master (whom God bless) hath so happily recovered from his late indisposition ; and we now, glass in hand, drink to the establishment of his health and to the prosperity of your whole Lodge. "We have seen in the Boston prints an article of news from London, import- ing that at a Grand Lodge held there in August last, Mr. Price's deputation and power was extended over all America, which advice we hope is true, and we heartily congratulate him thereupon ; and though this has not been as yet regu- larly signified to us by you, yet, giving credit thereto, we think it our duty to lay (354) PENNSYLVANIA. 355 before your Lodge what we apprehend needful to be done for us, in order to promote and strengthen the interest of Masonry in this province, (which seems to want the sanction of some authority derived from home, to give the proceed- ings and determinations of our Lodges their. due weight,) to wit: a deputation or charter granted by the E. W. Mr. Price, by virtue of his commission from Britain, confirming the brethren of Pennsylvania in the privileges they at present enjoy, of holding annually their Grand Lodge, choosing their Grand Master, Wardens, and other officers who may manage all affairs relating to the brethren here, with full power and authority, according to customs and usages of Masons, the said G. M. of Pennsylvania only yielding his chair when the G. M. of all America shall be in place. This, if it seem good and reasonable to you to grant, will not only be extremely agreeable to us, but will also, we are confident, con- duce much to the welfare, establishment, and reputation of Masonry in these " We therefore submit it to your consideration ; and as we hope our request will be complied with, we desire that it may be done as soon as possible, and also accompanied with a copy of the E. W. Grand Master's first deputation, and of the instrument by which it appears to be enlarged as above mentioned, witnessed by your Wardens and signed by the Secretary. For which favors, this Lodge doubt not of being able so to behave as not to be ungrateful. "We are, Eight Worshipful Grand Master and brethren, your affectionate brethren and obliged humble servants. " Signed at the request of the Lodge. "B. Franklin, G. M. "Philadelphia, Nov. 28th, 1734." It was in the year 5734 that Brother Franklin " reprinted in Philadelphia, by special order, for the use of the brethren in North America," the 5723 edition of Anderson's Constitution, and which was the first Masonic book printed in America. In 5735 the Grand Lodge changed its quarters from the Tun Tavern to the Indian King, at the corner of Biddle's Alley, in Market Street below. Third. On the 10th of July, 5749, Thomas Oxnard, Esq., who had received the appointment of Provincial Grand Master of North America, appointed Benja- min Franklin, Esq., provincial Grand Master of Pennsylvania, with authority to appoint the other Grand Officers, to hold a Grand Lodge, issue warrants, etc. Under this warrant, a Grand Lodge was held on the 5th of September, 5749, at the "Koyal Standard," on Market Street near Second; and Grand Master Franklin appointed Br. Thomas Bond, D. G. M. ; Joseph Shippen, S. G. W. ; Philip Syng, J. G. W. ; William Plumsted, G. Treas. ; Daniel Byles, G. Sec. At the same meeting a warrant was granted for a new Lodge in the City of Philadelphia to James Pogreen and others. At a communication of the Grand Lodge, held March 13th, 5750, William Allen, Esq., Eecorder of the City of Philadelphia, presented his commission from the Grand Lodge of England, appointing him Provincial Grand Master. His commission was recognized, and he appointed Benjamin Franklin Deputy Grand Master. The record from which we extract the above states, "As far as the minutes of the modern Grand Lodge go, Dr. Franklin was never absent from a meeting." 356 world's masonic register. Soon after this time the craft built themselves a hall on the site of the old Bank of Pennsylvania, on Second near Walnut Street. The building, which was of brick, was finished about the year 5754, and was inaugurated with much ceremony. Lodge Alley, now called Gold Street, took its name from this building. There is a record that Lodge No. 2, in Philadelphia, was constituted in 5758. In the year 5764, (an old record in our possession says 5761,) a patent for a Provincial Grand Lodge was issued to William Ball and others by the Grand Lodge of Ancient Masons in London. The record in our possession states that the charter granted to William Ball was "No. 1 in Pennsylvania and No. 89 in England, and registered in the Grand Lodge, London, vol iii., letter C, and bears date July 14th, 5761.

The prior patents and authorities issued to Pennsylvania were from the Grand Lodge of so-called Modern Masons. It would seem that a Grand Lodge of Ancient and Modern Masons existed in Pennsylvania at this time, as it appears on the minutes of the Grand Lodge of England, held on November 17th, 5760, that " Franklyn, Esq., Provincial Grand Master of Phila- delphia," was then present in his official capacity. The record also continues in its enumeration of officers present, " Franklyn, Esq., Provincial Grand Secretary of Philadelphia." During the occupancy of Philadelphia by the British, in the war of Independ- ence, it is supposed the records of Masonry were destroyed or carried off. On the 20th of December, 5779, Brother Ball, as Grand Master, convened a Grand Lodge for the purpose of reorganization, at which an election was held, and Brother Ball was elected Grand Master. There was a public procession and installation on that occasion, and a sermon by the Kev. Brother William Smith, who was appointed Grand Secretary. At a special communication of the Grand Lodge, in January, 5780, resolutions were adopted favorable to the establish- ment of a General Grand Lodge, and General Washington recommended as its first General Grand Master. On the 25th of September, 5786, a communication of the Grand Lodge was held, at which thirteen Lodges were represented, and after mature deliberation, the following resolution was unanimously passed : "Resolved, That it is improper that the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania do remain any longer under the authority of a foreign Grand Lodge." The Grand Lodge then closed sine die. The Convention assembled on the following day, 26th September, 5786, and unanimously resolved that the Lodges under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, lately holden as a Provincial Grand Lodge, under the authority of the Grand Lodge of England, should, and they did, form themselves into a Grand Lodge, to be called "The Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, and Masonic jurisdiction thereunto belonging," to be held in the City of Philadelphia. Since that time the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania has pursued the even tenor of its way quietly and in harmony, and although at times affected by the discordant elements of society, it has never swerved from its line of duty, and has always maintained a high position among its sister Grand Lodges. The Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania consists of the Grand and Past Grand PENNSYLVANIA. 357 Officers, Past Masters, and Masters and Wardens of its constituent Lodges. The Grand Lodge holds four Quarterly Communications, on the first Mondays of March, June, September, and December, and a Grand Communication on the twenty-seventh of December. Its Communications are held in the City of Philadelphia. The revenue of the Grand Lodge is derived from the following sources : — Prom the rents of the Masonic Hall. For "Warrants for new Lodges $81 For Dispensations to pass the Chair 5 For Dispensations to Enter, Pass, and Eaise, all or either . 1 ' For Grand Lodge Certificates 2 For Grand Lodge dues 1 For every Initiation in Philadelphia, and within five miles of the Temple 7 For Initiations in all other Lodges 2 There are 173 subordinate Lodges in Pennsylvania. The returns of 151 Lodges, for the year 5858, give the number of Members, 11,983 ; and the number Admitted during the year, 454 ; the number Initiated, 1225 ; Rejections, 168 ; and Suspensions and Expulsions, 518. The receipts of the Grand Lodge for the year ending November 15th, 5859, were $33,423 63. At an election held on Monday evening, December 3d, 5860, the following named brethren were elected officers of the Grand Lodge, to serve the ensuing Masonic year : — John Thomson, E. W. Grand Master. D. C. Skerkett, B. W. Deputy Grand Master. Lucios H. Scott, E. W. Senior Grand Warden. John L. Goddakd, E. W. Junior Grand Warden. Petek Williamson, R. W. Grand Treasurer. William H.

A great change was made in the work about that time, and particularly in the introduction of a reference to St. John, or the Sts. John, in the ritual ; and, in order to appear to be consistent, a falsehood was fabricated, by asserting that in ancient times Masonic Lodges were dedicated to Solomon, and afterward to Zerubbabel. The most positive evidence exists that Lodges never were dedicated at all until about seventy years ago, and certainly not to either Solomon or Zerubbabel. The introduction' of the above Action necessitated the fabrication of others found in most Monitors and Charts, particularly all that is said about St. John the Evangelist being a Freemason, and assuming the government of the Craft in his old age. The authors of Manuals, Charts, and pretended rituals of Masonry are responsible for the introduction of those fic- tions in the work, and therefore, if there were no other reasons, these publica- tions ought to be discarded by the Craft. RHODE ISLAND. GRAND LODGE. The Grand Lodge of Rhode Island was organized June 27th, 5791.

The Councils under its jurisdiction are three in number, viz. : — RHODE ISLAND. 385 Providence Council, No. 1, Providence; formerly under Maryland. Pawtucket Council, No. 2, Pawtucket ; formerly under Massachusetts. Webb Council, No. 3, Warren ; formerly under Connecticut. Members, estimated, 80. The following are the officers of the Grand Council : — 111. Comp. James Salsbury, M. P. Grand Master. " C. H. Titus, D. P. Grand Master. " " Samuel Lewis, T. 111. Grand Master. " H. P. Smith, G. P.

We are indebted for the above information to the accomplished Grand Secre- tary of the Grand Lodge of Ehode Island, E. W. Bro. Thomas A. Doyle. It is somewhat singular that we have been unable, after the most diligent application, to obtain any information in regard to Councils of Royal and Select Masters in Maryland, and believe that there is no such organization in that State. That Providence Council was formerly under Maryland, we think is an error. We would like to have some light on the subject. GENERAL WOOSTER. General David Woostek was born at Stratford, Conn., in the year 1711, and graduated at Tale College in 1738. Soon after leaving College, he engaged in the military service of his country, and was a captain in the expedition against Louisburg in 1745. In the French war, he served as colonel of a regiment, and subsequently as brigadier-general, which office he held at the close of that war. In the war of the American Revolution, he was appointed by the General As- sembly of Connecticut to the chief command of the troops raised for the defense of the State. In 1776, he was appointed major-general in the Connecticut ser- vice, and was distinguished for his skill and bravery until his death, which hap- pened the 2d of May, 1777, having been mortally wounded by a musket-ball, while leading his men to an attack on the British troops, near Danbury. He was the contemporary of Washington, Franklin, and Lafayette. He was made a Mason in early life, and was the first to procure a charter for a Masonic Lodge in Connecticut. Of this Lodge he was the first Master, elected in the year 1750, and was continued in the same honorable station until his zeal for his country induced him to leave the peaceful walks of civil life and take up the sword in the cause of liberty, which sword he did not relinquish until called to yield his life on the field of battle. 386 world's masonic register. ANTI-MASONIC INCIDENT. The anti-Masonic period was prolific with mountebanks and impostors, who went traveling up and down, to and fro, through the land, lecturing upon the subject of Freemasonry, and having exhibitions, in which they pretended to go through with the Masonic ceremonies as they were performed in a Masonic Lodge, in the making of Masons. These exhibitions were often the scene of much merriment, as those who were Freemasons generally went to these per- formances, and the admission fee of a shilling or a quarter of a dollar cheaply purchased the great amount of fun they enjoyed. The exhibitors and actors in these novel performances were rarely those who had ever been in a Masonic Lodge ; they obtained all their information from books, of which a great num- ber were published at the time, and these they took for granted were true expo- sures of the Masonic secrets. In one of the towns in the western part of the State of New York one of these exhibitors made his appearance, and in a large placard, colored and illus- trated, announced that he intended to go through the whole of the ceremonies of the three first degrees of Freemasonry, and invited the public — men, women, and children, Masons and non-Masons — to attend. Price of admission twenty-five cents. On the first night of the exhibition there were just twenty persons present; amount of receipts five dollars, which did not pay the expense of the room for one evening; and the greater portion of those who were there were Freemasons. The next night the exhibitor thought to do better, as he stated that the Freemasons were highly pleased with his performances. The truth is, the Masons took particular pains to go to those who were so violently opposed to the institution, and recommended them to go to the exhibition if they had any curiosity to know the Masonic secrets. The next night there were just twelve persons there, eleven of whom were Freemasons. The exhibitor delayed going through the performance till a late hour, and then, disheartened and discouraged, he proposed postponing the exhi- bition until the next evening. As he said nothing about returning the money which each had paid to be admitted, those inside expressed themselves as being very desirous to be enlightened upon so interesting a subject before they left, and among those who were most anxious was the non-Mason; he could not think of leaving without being in possession of the much-coveted secret. As this one was so importunate and determined, the exhibitor finally told him that he would commence, but it was necessary that one of the party should act as the candidate to be initiated. The twelve put it to vote among themselves who should be the candidate, and the non-Mason was selected. The exhibitor band- aged his eyes, and seated him on a chair. At this point the eleven left the room, as they had beforehand agreed ; and the exhibitor, finding he had no audi- tors, took his leave also, having first told the candidate to remain seated for a little while. As all was quiet, the candidate finally ventured to speak, but, re- ceiving no reply, he removed the handkerchief from his eyes and found himself alone. He never could be convinced but that it was a plot of the Freemasons to play a trick upon him and cheat him out of twenty-five cents. SOUTH CAROLINA. GRAND LODGE. The Grand Lodge of South Carolina was organized February 5th, 5787. Its Annual Communications are held on the third Tuesday in November, at such place as the Grand Lodge shall from time to time determine. In consequence of the Grand Lodge being engaged in revising its constitution, we are unable to state what are its sources of revenue or what composes the membership of the Grand Lodge. By a recent amendment each Lodge is "entitled to three votes, and may be represented by the Master and Wardens, or any one or two of them, or by a delegate or delegates appointed by the Lodge or the Master." There are 92 subordinate Lodges under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge. We collect the following statistics from the returns of 69 Lodges, published in the proceedings of November, 5859. Number of members, 3337 ; F. C, 109 ; E. A., 99 ; Dimissions, 235 ; Deaths, 52 ; Affiliations, 56. Amount of receipts from Lodges, $2149 50 ; for Charters, $330 ; from arrears of members, $96 75 ; making a total of $2576 25.

It is by us termed the " first great light," and rightly so, because it contains those precepts and moral lessons which teach us our duties toward God, our neighbors, and ourselves. It em- braces in its teachings the entire code of morality, and as Masonry is a moral institution, it adopts its teachings as its own. No man who does not live a moral life, or whose principles and practices are not in conformity with the laws of morality, caD, with propriety, be admitted into our Order. A candidate for the honors of Freemasonry must, or should be, a moral man. This is a qualifi- cation which Freemasonry requires ; not a simple belief in the moral code, but the actual evidence in the blameless and virtuous life of those who aspire to its mysteries. There are those, as daily experience teaches us. who make loud boastings of their belief in the Sacred Volume, whose lips utter blasphemy, who defraud the widow and the fatherless, who are inebriates, who violate the sanctity of the family hearth, who commit every crime against God and Man. Would to God that our time-honored Order had always been free from the polluting contamination of the evil-doers. It is not an avowed belief in the Great I Am, the kind and good Father, whose mercies extend over all his works, and who holds in his hands the destinies of all men, that restrains the wicked in his wickedness, as Freemasonry has sad cause to know ; and if the thought of that Superintending Power, before whom we tremble as we write, and the stoutest quail, is not sufficient to cause those who profess to believe in His holy name to do right, can it be supposed that subscribing to a belief in His holy Law will be more potent and effective in causing the weak and the bad to fear and love him ? Freemasonry requires a belief in the existence of a Supreme Being, for the reason that he who assumes its obligations has at least the fear of God to prevent him from violating his sacred pledges. This belief all must avow who partake of our mysteries. So far an avowel of belief is necessary, and no farther. As to the morality of the Order, or the moral precepts con- tained in the Sacred Volume, as these are the highest standard of moral duty and obligation, Freemasonry' demands that those who would be united with us in the bonds of brotherhood must be good men, moral men, who have lived in conformity to the precepts and teachings of the Book of the Law.

The Duke of Wellington was initiated into Freemasonry December 7, 1790, in Lodge 494, then held at Trim, Ireland, of which Brother William Elliott was W. M. His signature "A. Wesley" is still extant. The Lodge was afterward removed to Dublin. In a Lodge, Masons meet as members of one family ; all prejudices, therefore, on account of religion, country, or private opinion, are removed. 402 world's masonic register. POPULARITY OF FREEMASONRY. The onward progress of Freemasonry within the last ten years is not only gratifying, but is an evidence that the intelligent portion of the human family appreciate the heaven-born principles of the institution, and the unselfish benevolence of its votaries. There are few men impressed with the divine image so constituted as to be unwilling to recognize deeds of mercy, love, and charity, performed by their fellow-men from pure motives of humanity. There is some- thing in the interior consciousness of all intelligent beings that recognizes and acknowledges the good which it sees in others, however trivial the manifestations may be, so that they proceed from a pure heart and a sincere desire to do good — to benefit their brother man. A kind word fitly spoken, a benevolent deed in the hour of need, will most surely actwith a magnetic charm, and their influ- ence be impressed deeply and indelibly upon the human heart. Within the breast of every man, according to the sensibility of his perceptions, there is a chord which attunes in harmony with the humanizing principles of Freemasonry, and the obligations resting upon its membership, to promote the welfare of their fellow-beings. Men of intelligent and benevolent impulses, wherever they have had the opportunity of acquiring a knowledge of the teachings of Freemasonry, and the quiet deeds of charity performed by its members, have never failed to desire to aid in disseminating its pure precepts, and to assist in its works of humanity ; and hence we find not only the Father of his Country, the immortal "Washington, but the illustrious patriots of every age and nation bowing at the altars of Masonry. Xo institution or association of men, from the beginning of the world, ever embraced so many good and true men among their membership, as Freemasonry, and surely it could not be from any selfish motives that the noble, the virtuous, the learned, and the benevolent sought admission into our mystic Order. What could, then, have prompted them, if not its pure princi- ples, its high moral teachings, and its practical charities? It does not change the character of Freemasonry, nor can it be chargeable to its principles that some bad men are admitted into the Order. Such necessarily must be the case with all institutions governed by imperfect man ; but in judging the institution, the excrescences should not be the criterion, by no means : these once attached to the Order, fraternal sympathy demands that every exertion shall be made to purge them and make them clean. The institution should alone be judged by the good and virtuous of its membership, as these would not continue their at- tachment to it if its teachings and precepts were not conformable to the strictest morality. That men of irreproachable character, of sterling integrity, and sound and pure morals, do continue their connection with the institution, labor to pro- mote its prosperity, bestow their time and attention in extending its principles, and feel a pride in their association with the Order, is the strongest evidence of the purity of its principles, its high moral teachings, and practical philanthropy. The popularity of Freemasonry is mainly owing to the excellence of its teach- ings and its pure morality, which accord with the internal perceptions of all good and true men, and hence its wide extension throughout the civilized world. TEXAS. GRAND LODGE. The Grand Lodge of Texas was organized December 20th, 5837.

We copy the following very interesting article from the reprint of " Proceed- ings of Grand Lodge of Texas," published by the B. W. Grand Secretary, A. S. RUTHVEN. " As I took an active part in laying the first foundations of Freemasonry in this country, originated, and was personally present at, the first meeting ever held here, and cognizant of the earliest steps taken for the organization of a Lodge, I place upon record the following facts, which may be of interest, perhaps, to the fraternity hereafter, and would otherwise be lost, as I am now the only one living of the five brethren who originated Holland Lodge. " In the winter of 1834^5, five Master Masons, who had made themselves known to each other, consulted among themselves, and, after various interviews and much deliberation, resolved to take measures to establish a Lodge of their Order in Texas. . This resolution was not formed without a full appreciation of its consequences to the individuals concerned. Every movement in Texas was watched at that time with jealousy and distrust by the Mexican government, and already had its spies and emissaries denounced some of our best citizens as factionists and disaffected persons ; already were the future intended victims of a despotic power being selected. It was well known that Freemasonry was particularly odious to the Catholic priesthood, whose influence in the country at that time was all-powerful. The dangers, therefore, attendant upon an organi- zation of Masons at this time, which was ' trying men's souls,' were neither few nor unimportant. But zeal for a beloved institution, a belief that it would be beneficial at a period when society seemed especially to need some fraternal bonds to unite them together, predominated ; all fears of personal consequences were thrown aside, and the resolution to establish a Lodge, as above mentioned, was adopted. The five brethren were John H. Wharton, Asa Brigham, James A. E. Phelps, Alexander Russell, and Anson Jones, and they appointed a time and place of meeting to concert measures to carry their resolution into effect. In the mean time another Master Mason came into their plans, — Brother J. P. Caldwell. The place of meeting was back of the town of Brazoria, near the place known as General John Austin's, in a little grove of wild peach or laurel, and which had been selected as a family burying-ground by that distinguished soldier and citizen. The spot was secluded, and out of the way of ' cowans and eaves-droppers,' and they felt they were alone. Here, and under such circum- stances, at ten o'clock in the. morning of a day in March, 1835, was held the first, formal Masonic meeting in Texas, as connected with the establishment and con- tinuance of Masonry in this country. The six brethren I have mentioned were all present there ; and it was concluded to apply to the Grand Lodge of Louis- iana for a Dispensation to form and open a Lodge, to be called Holland Lodge, TEXAS. 405 in honor to the then M. W. G. Master of that body, J. H. Holland. The funds were raised by a contribution to defray the expenses, to which each contributed as he felt willing and able. A petition was in due time drawn up and signed by them, which was forwarded to New Orleans, having been previously signed by another Master Mason, Brother W. 1). C. Hall, and perhaps one or two more ; but of this I do not recollect. The officers named in the petition were — For W. M., Anson Jones; S. W., Asa Brigham; J. "W., J. P. Caldwell, who filled those offices, respectively, until the close of 1837. The Dispensation was granted, after some delay, to these Brethren, and Holland Lodge, No. 36, U. D., was instituted and opened at Brazoria, on the 27th of December, 1835. Brother Phelps was chosen Treasurer, and M. C. Patton, Secretary; the other officers I do not recollect. The Lodge held its meetings at Brazoria, in the second story of the old Court-house, which room was afterward occupied by St. John's Lodge, No. 5. About this time the difficulties with Mexico broke out into open hostilities, and our work was very much retarded by that circumstance, and by the members having to be absent in the service of the country. Still, there were a few others, from time to time, introduced into the Order, either by re- ceiving the degrees or by affiliation. The Lodge struggled on until February, 1836, when I presided over its last meeting at Brazoria. I well recollect the night, and the fact that Brother Fannin, who one month after became so cele- brated for his misfortunes and those of his unfortunate party at Goliad, acted as Senior Deacon. It seemed,-indeed, that the gloom which prevailed in the Lodge that night was a foreshadowing of its and their unhappy fate, which was so soon to overtake both. " In March, Brazoria was abandoned. Urea soon after took possession of the place at the head of a detachment of the Mexican army, and the records, books, jewels, and everything belonging to the Lodge were utterly destroyed by them, and our members were scattered in every direction. Brothers Wharton, Phelps, and myself, joined the Texan troops on the Colorado, about the 18th of March. In the mean time, the Grand Lodge of Louisiana had issued a Charter for Hol- land Lodge, No. 36, and it was brought over to Texas by Brother John M. Allen. This, together with some letters from the Grand Secretary, was handed to me by Brother Allen, on the prairie between Groce's and San Jacinto, while we were on the march, and carried by me in my saddle-bags to the encampment of the army on Buffalo Bayou, at Lynchburg. Had we been beaten here, Santa Anna would have captured the Charter of Holland Lodge, at San Jacinto, as Urea had the Dispensation for it, at Brazoria. Such an event, however, was impossible. The Charter and papers were taken safely to Brazoria ; but, as the ■ members had been lessened in numbers by death, or scattered in the army, and elsewhere in the service of the country, no attempt was ever made to revive the work of the Lodge at that place. " In October, 1837, however, it was reopened by myself and others, at the City of Houston, having then been in existence about two years. " In the mean time two other Lodges, with charters from the Grand Lodge of Louisiana, were established in Texas,— Milam, at Nacogdoches, and McFarlane, at San Augustine. Delegates from these, and from Holland Lodge, met in Convention at Houston, in the winter of 1837-8, and the Grand Lodge of the Republic was formed. By advice and direction of this body, the three subordi- 406 world's masonic register. nate Lodges transferred their allegiance from Louisiana to their own Grand Lodge, surrendered their Charters to Louisiana, and received others from Texas; and Holland Lodge, No. 36, under the former, became Holland Lodge, No. 1, under the Grand Lodge of the Lone Star Republic. By this course, the causes of the many difficulties which have afflicted so many of the Grand Lodges of the United States were considered and obviated in the formation of the Grand Lodge of Texas. " Holland Lodge, No. 36, was the only one established in Texas prior to the Revolution which separated her from Mexico. " Such is a brief but faithful sketch of the first establishment of Freemasonry in Texas. It was founded, like our political institutions, amid the stern con- comitants of adversity and war, but its foundations were laid broad and deep ; and upon them has been raised a superstructure of strength and beauty, symme- trical in its proportions and vast in its dimensions, which I trust will rise ' usque ad astro,,' and continue as a beacon to guide and cheer worthy Masons on their journey of life, and against which the wasting storms of time shall beat in vain, and the restless waves of persecution dash themselves to destruction in angry foam ; while the presiding genius of the institution, from its lofty walls shall ever continue to exclaim, in emphatic tones, to be heard by all, — East, West, North, and South, — "'Procul! Oprocul! este profani !' ' Tu que invade viam.' ' Far hence, ye profane ! Welcome, ye initiated, to these glorious courts 1 Tread ye them aright I' " SUBORDINATE LODGES. No. Lodge. Location.

If we come to consider the close relation existing between man and his fellow- beings, we can hardly conceive it possible in human nature not to recognize and acknowledge benefits received at the hands of others. Man is allied to his fellow- man by sympathy and affection, which continually flow from the Divine Parent in streams of love and pure benefaction. Created alike in His image, having, a common heritage and an ultimate destiny, it would seem that as some enjoy advantages, whether fortuitous or by design, if these advantages are used to benefit others, that the God within us and our own nature would impel a proper acknowledgment and a due sense of gratitude for such benefits received. Yet we frequently find men who are insensible to acts of kindness, who never acknowledge any obligations for favors done them. It would seem impossible for such phases of humanity to be developed, if we had not the evidence mani- fested in our social and business relations with our fellow-men. Ingratitude is not so much a crime as it is the result of degenerate, imbecile, defective organ- ism. For it can hardly be believed that any man impressed with the divine image, was so deficient in those faculties of perception which are of the divine nature, as not to realize kindness, sympathy, and good acts done to him by his fellow-man. Gratitude is an acknowledgment of the sense we have of the obligation for favors received. Those who possess not that divine quality, or perception of a sensibility of kindness, or favors received at the hands of man cannot possibly be sensible of the obligations due to God. It is only as we manifest the divine nature within us in our intercourse with our fellow-man, that we manifest our appreciation of the attributes of the Deity. We cannot be ungrateful or insensible to the kindness of man, and be grateful to the Divine Parent. If we have a realizing sense of our obligations to God, we will manifest a corresponding sense of obligation to our fellow-man. Our actions and conduct toward our brother man is the only criterion whereby man can judge of the perceptions he has of the attributes and perfections of Deity. Notwithstand- ing the universal detestation and abhorrence, by all benevolent and generous minds, of ingratitude, yet, perhaps, there is no imperfection in man which ought to call forth more freely the genial sympathies than this defect of an ungrateful nature ; because, how gloomy and void of all that contributes to the real happi- ness of man must that soul be who cannot enjoy the gifts of the Creator, realize the beauties of nature, or the divine qualities in man, nor invoke grateful aspira- tions to God for the great boon of life and an immortality of existence ! It is in every station of life that we find men of a thankless and ungrateful nature, among church and lay men, professors and non-professors of religion, among all classes and conditions, from the highest to the lowest ; and as man cannot conceal the prominent traits of his nature from those with whom he is in con- stant association, it is sufficient for us to remark that an ungrateful man cannot possibly realize or appreciate the principles of our Order, and as such cannot participate in the benefactions of the institution, much less in those kindly sympathies and communion of soul with soul, congenial to the generous and good. Such ought never to be admitted within the sacred sanctuary of Masonry. VERMONT. GRAND LODGE. The Grand Lodge of Vermont was organized October 14th, 5794.

In years gone by, say forty or more, there lived in the City of Gotham, a jolly good host whose physical man betokened that he was no idle workman at seasons of refreshment, and his full face denoted that good humor and a relish for jokes whetted his appetite for bibibles as well as eatables. This jolly good host was a Freemason, and his hotel was a resort for the members of the Craft to while away their leisure time, where they were received with a smiling welcome, and their indulgences seasoned with a happy jest or some lively anecdote. Among the members of the Lodge to which our good host was attached was one, a tailor by profession, who fully equaled him in pranks and jokes, and when these two met some mischief was sure to be concocted, some plan devised for merriment at some other's expense. Among the inmates of the hotel was a very worthy young man, a mechanic, employed in the neighborhood, boarding there for convenience. This young man had a desire to learn the mysteries of Freemasonry, and requested the landlord to advise him the course to pursue, to which he readily agreed, as the young man was every way worthy to become a member of the fraternity. The application was made, and everything was satisfactory. Prior to his initiation, he concluded to make his debut in the Lodge in a new outfit, and he engaged a new suit from our jolly good tailor, to be finished on the night of his initiation. The tailor being cognizant of his customer's application to be made a Mason, and divining the purpose for which the suit of clothes was ordered, he, at the suggestion of the host, devised a plan for some sport on the occasion. The worthy host's wife it was known had some curious views concerning the Mystic Order, and believed it was not altogether for beneficial or charitable purposes the Masons met in their Lodges. The tailor prepared a piece of cloth, and scorched it in stripes as if it had been burnt on a gridiron ; this he neatly basted on the seat of .the pantaloons. The clothes arrived in due time, and soon incased the physical man of the candidate for initiation. He presented himself before the host before going to the Lodge, who, in the presence of his better half, appearing to admire very much the new suit, and inspecting the lower part of his coat, he remarked, "How very con- siderate !" loud enough for his spouse to hear, and then left the house accom- panied by the candidate. The next day the clothing was closely examined, and before the close of the week, there were few of the lady acquaintances, whose husbands were known to be Masons, who did not see those pantaloons. It must not be supposed there were no secret conversations in relation to making Masons after retiring at night, between the good host and his better half. She, good soul, serious and moralizing. He unable to contain his laughter, and striving to prevent giving offense. The circumstance gave occasion for much talk among the good wives in the neighborhood. In due time the piece of cloth which had created no little excitement was removed, and the young man remained in ignorance of the practical joke ; the subject being of a delicate nature, could not be communicated to him by those who believed him to have been a victim to some cruel ceremony. It was this circumstance which gave such extensive currency to the belief that a heated gridiron was a necessary implement in Masonic initiation. VIRGINIA. GRAND LODGE.

Freemasonry not only recognizes the highest standard of morals as the basis of the principles upon which the institution is founded, but its membership are required, by the obligations of the Order, by the " First Great Light" upon which these obligations were assumed, as well as the duties obligatory upon every child of man, to render obedience to the will of the Supreme Architect of the universe, to live in conformity to its laws and teachings, so as to convince the world by their examples that the object of the association is to influence men to a better course of life, and thus promote the welfare of the species by inducing others also to live moral and virtuous lives. The " Charges of a Freemason," which from remotest time have come down to us unchanged, and which are not subject to change, declare in the commencement of the first article : "A Mason is obliged, by his tenure, to obey the moral law." That is the standard by which every Freemason is to be judged — by that standard every Freemason must judge his brother Masons ; and those whose lives do not square with that test must be considered as morally defective, morally maimed, violators of voluntarily assumed obligations and the laws of God. It is the duty of each member of the fraternity, by his own example, by a virtuous and goodly life, to give evidence that he has not assumed his obligations in vain ; but that his conduct is squared by the teachings of the institution and the divine laws upon which these teach- ings are based. It is idle to suppose that a man can be an honest and true Freemason who does not obey the moral law ; nay, further, a Freemason who does not give evidence by his conduct and conversation that he has been benefited by the teachings of Freemasonry, in being a better man than he was before his initiation, cannot have been true to himself nor the institution. The object of Freemasonry is to advance its membership morally and intellectually. A man cannot be a Freemason unless he is a good man. In becoming a member of the fraternity it is expected that he will observe the teachings of the institution, advance onward in the path of virtue, and grow better and wiser as he travels through life. This is expected of each and every member of the fraternity, so that the united membership of the institution by the influence of their examples will exercise a corresponding influence upon the people of the world, and thus manifest that the principles of Freemasonry are good, and that by living conformably to them we become better men, better citizens, better husbands, and better fathers and brothers.

A Freemason ought always to be governed by generous impulses, and judge mildly of the faults of his brethren, and by gentle measures endeavor to inspire the erring with noble and just sentiments. A Freemason ought not upon any occasion to speak disrespectfully of his brother in his absence, no matter what the fault may be or the grievance. It is unworthy at all times to speak evil of the absent ; no generous mind will be guilty of an act so base, and no one who has bowed at our mystic altars, who appreciates his obligations, and the honor of his connection with the institution, will so far forget himself as to speak in detriment to the character of another who has also knelt at the shrine of Free- masonry. It is not always that those are in the wrong whom we suppose so, and none but a higher Power can know the struggles the weak and erring may have in combating circumstances and inclinations which impel them to err. There may be more virtue in the weak restraining their desires, the man of strong passions in fighting against indulgence, the hungered in abstaining from appro- priating the goods of others, than in large contributions of the wealthy for benevolent purposes. The man whose means place him above the temptation of want, whose education and affinities prevent him from associating with the depraved, or those whose will and determination are sufficiently strong to hold their passions in subjection, may never know, may never be able to appreciate the moral and mental struggles of those differently organized or circumstanced. The poor brother unable to pay his Lodge dues, to pay small debts, incurred perhaps to sustain life, to pay even his subscription, may possess a noble spirit, and be true and honest before God and angels. Man is scarcely competent to judge his fellow-man, because he is unable to fathom the secret arcana of mo- tives and inward impulses which prompt him to act. We do not speak of the open violator of law, those who set at defiance the rights, and obligations of man and society; for such are not, cannot be Freemasons. But as Masons are only men, and no one ever entered the portals of Masonry without having at least one friend, a guide, and therefore must have possessed some good traits, let us at least be merciful in our judgment; if misfortune has robbed such a one, the humblest among us, of his wealth, and he is reduced to poverty and want, or if, unable to resist temptations against which he may long and ardently have struggled, he finally was overcome and yielded, let our judgment be tempered with mercy; do not scorn him, do not spurn him from society, do not crush him so that he may not rise again. Masonry is charity, heaven-born and sympa- thizing charity, and the noblest and most acceptable of its duties, those which are rewarded with the highest meed in the court of angels and seraphs, are the kind words spoken, the gentle admonition and good counsel, the timely aid, and the ennobling inspirations to elevate, improve, and arouse the drooping energies of the lowly and fallen.

Freemasonry, among its beautiful and sublime lessons, teaches us that life on earth is only of limited duration,. and each candidate is impressed in symbolic illustration, that "we are all traveling on the level of time to that undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns." The object of this teaching is to influence man to lead a virtuous life, to look upon God as the summum bonum of perfection, who doeth all things well, so that after the termination of his pil- grimage on earth, after a life well spent in useful employment,- he may enjoy a happy, blissful future in the realms of cloudless eternity. Oh that Freemasons would only rightly consider the import of the expressive and significant lesson taught in the illustration of the Level ! Oh glorious, happy thought, that we are not as the flower that withers or like the tree that is cut down ! Our bodies truly will be consigned to the narrow house of death, but there is no confining the immortal spirit. More free and untrammeled than thought in the earthly life, will be the spirit when divested of mortality. Is it not our duty to wear the white lamb-skin in our daily life, in our commingling with the world and with those who share our best affections, so that the spirit, when disinthralled from its earthly tabernacle, pure, unspotted, and unpolluted, may enter into the spiritual realm to enjoy the association of the angelic throng ? Life has its joys, but the joys of a life of virtue and goodness endure evermore. Time cannot efface or rub out the influence of a good deed. A life of virtue and usefulness is rewarded on earth, and its happy effects go with us beyond the grave. Let each Freemason live up ,to the teachings of the Order, and all who do so will, when life's scenes are over, be welcomed into the land of unfading flowers by blessed, happy spirits who have gone before. This life is but of limited duration. It is a probationary state. To live well, so as to be acceptable to our Heavenly Father, is our duty here. Brethren, it ought to be to us a most pleasing duty, which we should strive for with all our soul, might, and strength. If our heart is in the right place, and we learn the lessons of Freemasonry well, we will, with all the powers of our soul and mind, strive to merit the approval of Him from whom all goodness and blessings proceed. 442 WORLD'S MASONIC "REGISTER.

ROYAL ARCH CHAPTERS. The following brief history will not be unacceptable to the Craft. The degrees now known as the Chapter degrees are all modern. The Eoyal Arch degree, the first of the Chapter degrees, was originated . about the year 5738, in England, where it always has been, and is at this time ike fourth degree in Masonry ; and in the United States, where the degree was introduced soon after its adoption, it was the fourth degree until near the close of the last cen- tury, the degrees of Mark Master, Past Master, and Most Excellent Master having previously no place in the Masonic system. The Eoyal Arch degree, prior to the formation of Grand Chapters, was worked under the authority of a Blue Lodge warrant, permission being granted by the Grand Lodges, it being a principle of Masonry universally recognized and based upon the soundest prin- ciples of philosophy, that in Symbolic Masonry, the only branch of the order then existing, and in the Grand Lodges was vested the control and all the powers of the government of Masonry, or, according to the Constitution of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, " the Grand Lodge is the only true and legiti- mate source of Masonic authority." In it, the Grand Lodge, inhered the govern- ment of the entire system of Masonry. Upon the principle just stated, the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, in the year 5795, authorized the formation of a Grand Chapter within its jurisdiction, the first Grand Chapter formed in this country, yet subject to the Masonic control of the Grand Lodge. In the year 5797, the only Eoyal Arch Chapters in the United States were as follows : — There were two Chapters in Massachusetts. six " Connecticut. one " Ehode Island. thirteen " New York. one " Vermont. six " Pennsylvania. three " Virginia. five " Maryland. The Grand Chapter of Pennsylvania was formed on the 23d of November, 5795. The Grand Chapter of Virginia was formed May 1st, 5808. These two Grand Chapters have always been independent and sovereign. (449) 450 world's masonic eegistee. GENERAL GRAND CHAPTER. On the 24th of October, 5797, seven Companions representing three Chapters, the two in Massachusetts and one at Albany, N. Y., met at Boston, Mass., for the purpose of deliberating upon the propriety of forming a Grand Chapter for the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Ver- mont, and New York. At this meeting, these seven Companions adopted a " cir- cular letter," to be sent to all of the Chapters in the States mentioned, recom- mending them to appoint one or more delegates to meet at Hartford, Conn., on the fourth Wednesday of January next ensuing. At this meeting, held on the 24th of January, 5798, twelve Companions were present, representing the two Chapters in Massachusetts, the one in Ehode Island, three in Connecticut, and one at Hud- son, N. Y. The records of that day's meeting give us to understand that the Companions in Connecticut had, or were about forming a Grand Chapter for that jurisdiction, which caused the meeting some anxiety, and induced them to ap- point committees to confer with the principal Companions of Connecticut on the subject. A resolution was also adopted on that day, that they " will establish a Grand Royal Arch Chapter" for the above-named States. The meeting ad- journed until the next day, at which two more Chapters from New York were represented. It appears from the records of the second day, that the principal Companions from Connecticut were at Hartford, as a committee was appointed to invite them to attend and participate in the Convention. A committee was also appointed on this day " to draft and report a form of a Constitution for the government of said Chapter." The Convention met again on the following day, 26th instant, and adopted a Constitution, and immediately went into an election. The Companion chosen as Grand High Priest of the Grand Chapter was one of the Companions from Connecticut who was invited to attend the Convention, and the consequence was that no independent Grand Chapter was formed in Connecticut. According to one of the provisions of the Constitution, it was required that a " Deputy Grand Chapter should be formed in each of the States which formed the Grand Chapter." It was also provided in the Consti- tution that the first meeting of the Grand Chapter should be held in the City of Middletowh, Conn., on the third Wednesday of September next, and afterward once in every two years. The Grand Chapter was to be styled " The Grand Royal Arch Chapter of the Northern States of America." The Constitution also prescribed the time of meeting of the Deputy Grand Chapters of Massa- chusetts and Rhode Island, which formed one body, and Connecticut and New York. As there was but one Chapter in Vermont and none in New Hampshire, the Grand Chapter reserved to itself the " sole power of granting charters for opening Chapters within the said States." The first meeting of the Grand Chapter of the Northern States of America, after its organization, was held, agreeably to the Constitution, in the City of Middletown, Conn., on the third Wednesday of September, 5798. The follow- ing, which we copy from the record, will show the warm zeal and interest taken by the Companions in this newly organized body: "Present, Companions William Woart, General Grand Secretary ; Rev. Abraham L. Clarke, General GENERAL GRAND CHAPTER. 451 Grand Chaplain; Excellent Benj. Hurd, Jr., General Grand King, was repre- sented by Companion Henry Fowle, of St. Andrew's Chapter, Massachusetts, his proxy ; Excellent James Harrison, Deputy Grand Scribe, Massachusetts, represented by Companion Samuel Billings, his proxy ; Excellent Seth Wheaton, Deputy Grand High Priest, Excellent Gershom Jones, Deputy Grand King, and Samuel Eddy, Deputy Grand Scribe, Deputy Grand Chapter, Rhode Island, were represented by Excellent Companion Rev. Abraham L. Clarke, their proxy." The Grand Chaplain and the Grand Secretary were the only two Officers of the Grand Chapter present at this first meeting, and, including i\em, five Companions in all, and the record has General prefixed to the office of these two Grand Offi- cers. These five Companions went into an election for Grand Officers, or, as the record states, " the Grand Chapter proceeded to the choice of Officers, when, on sorting and counting the votes, the old Officers were all declared re-elected." A resolution was adopted " That this meeting be, and the same hereby is adjourned to the second "Wednesday of January next, then to meet at Providence, in the State of Rhode Island." A meeting was held accordingly at Providence, R. I., on the 9th of January, 5799, which, although termed a " regular meeting," was unquestionably irregu- lar, as the meetings, according to the Constitution adopted September, 5798, were to be biennial. At this meeting eight Companions in all were present, from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New York, who continued their sittings during two days. They adopted " Rules of Order" and a new "Constitution." This Constitution ignored in toto the Constitution adopted January 26th, 5798, in not only making the meetings septennial from that time, but other radical changes were made ; and providing for an immediate election of officers before the term of those elected in 5798 had expired. This Constitution gave the body the title of "General Grand Chapter for the six Northern States of America," and prefixes "General" to the title of the Grand Officers. The Deputy Grand Chapters were changed to State Grand Chapters. An election for officers was also held as provided in the new Constitution. It will be noticed that there was but one Chapter in Vermont and one in Rhode Island, yet the Constitution placed the State of Vermont under the jurisdiction of New York, until there were a sufficient number of subordinates to form a State Grand Chapter ; and yet the one Chapter in Rhode Island formed a State Grand Chapter within itself. It will also be remembered that the jurisdiction of the General Grand Chapter was confined to the Six Northern States. On the 4th of January, 5804, the Grand Chapter of Rhode Island adopted a preamble and several resolutions and » circular, letter, which were sent to the several State Grand Chapters, the import of which were, that an application had been made to the Grand Chapter for the institution of a Chapter of Royal Arch Masons in one of the Southern States, and that as they had no jurisdiction, they proposed that competent authority be vested in the three principal officers of the General Grand Chapter, or any two of them, to institute Chapters in any State in which there was no Grand Chapter. The record of the septennial meeting of the General Grand Chapter, held at Middletown, January 9th, 5806, shows that the Grand King and Scribe, acting upon the resolutions and circular letter of the Companions of Rhode Island, did, in violation of the Constitution, 452 world's masonic register. institute a Chapter at Beaufort, South Carolina, and another at Savannah, Georgia ; and this they did, as they stated, "by virtue of authority derived from a special decree of several of the Grand Chapters," and the General Grand Chapter approved of their proceedings. At this septennial meeting it was resolved that the next septennial meeting be held in the City of New York, on the second Thursday in September, 1812. An election for officers was held, and the Constitution was again altered. The title of this body was now changed to "The General Grand Chapter of Eoyal Arch Masons for the United States of America.'' There was no meeting of this body from the septennial meeting in 5806 until 5816. On the 6th of June, 5816, the General Grand Chapter assembled in the City of New York. There were fourteen Companions present. At this meeting a change in the 1st Section of 1st Article of the Constitution was made. The Grand Chapter of Maryland and District of Columbia was admitted into the confederacy at this meeting, but with a stipulation that it should " not be forced to alter its mode of working," which, " under a consideration of all the circum- stances," the General Grand Chapter agreed to. The General Grand Chapter since that period has extended its jurisdiction into most of the States and Territories in the United States, with the exceptions of Pennsylvania, Virginia, Delaware, and Florida, in which States the Grand Chapters never acknowledged allegiance to a superior body ; and Kentucky and North Carolina, in which States the Grand Chapters which were formerly subordinate to the General Grand Chapter, within the last three years severed their connection with it and are now independent Grand Chapters. The Grand Chapters in the following States are subordinate to the General Grand Chapter, viz. : Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland and District of Columbia, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Ehode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Wisconsin.

The history of the formation of the body at present known as the Grand Encampment of the United States is as follows : — In the year 1797 there were six Encampments in the United States ; four in Pennsylvania and two in New York, one in the City of New York and the other at Stillwater. On the 19th of May, 1797, a Grand Encampment was formed in Pennsylvania. In 1802 there were two additional Encampments in New York, one in the City of New York, the other at Albany ; and one in the State of Rhode Island, at Providence. In 1805 there were, in addition to the above, two Encampments in Massachusetts, and three in Maryland. The fol- lowing list comprises, we believe, all the Encampments of Knights Templar existing in the United States in 1805 : — Pennsylvania. Encampment, No. 1 Philadelphia. Encampment, No Philadelphia. Encampment, No Harrisburg. Encampment, No Carlisle. New York. The Old Encampment .... City of New York. Montgomery Encampment .... Stillwater. Jerusalem Encampment .... City of New York. Temple Encampment Albany. Rhode Island. St. John's Encampment .... Providence. Massachusetts. Encampment ...... Boston. Encampment Newburyport. Maryland. Encampment, No. 3 . . . . . Baltimore. Encampment, No. 13 Baltimore. Encampment, No. 24 Havre de Grace. (453) 454 world's masonic register. The Encampment at Providence, Bhode Island, held a Convention in that city, on the 6th of May, 1805, when measures were proposed, and adopted, for the formation of a Grand Encampment, and a Committee appointed " to devise and report a form of Constitution explanatory of the principles upon which a Grand Encampment shall be opened." This Convention adjourned to meet ao-ain on the 13th instant, at which time the Committee reported a Constitution, which being read and amended, was unanimously adopted, and the Grand En- campment formed, and an election for Grand Officers had. Thomas Smith Webb was elected Grand Master. The title of the Constitution was, Constitu- tion op the Grand Encampment op Rhode Island and Jurisdiction there- unto belonging. The Constitution contained eleven articles, the first of which gave to the Grand Encampment the above title. It provided that the meetings were to be held annually. At the annual meeting, in May, 1807, the Grand Encampment deemed it ex- pedient to extend its jurisdiction to any State or Territory where there was no Grand Encampment, and altered and amended its Constitution accordingly. The title given to the Constitution was Constitution of the United States Grand Encampment of Knights Templars and Appendant Orders. It was divided into two articles, the first containing nine sections, the other seven. It provided that the Grand Encampment should meet annually, and extended its jurisdiction " to any State or Territory where there is not a Grand Encampment established." There is no doubt that this was the original establishment of the Grand En- campment of the United States. We have no records of the United States Grand Encampment from May, 1807, until 1816. " At an Assembly of this Grand Encampment, holden in Boston, in the month of May, 1816, it was resolved that three delegates be appointed on the part of this Grand Encampment, to meet a General Grand Convention, to be holden in the City of Philadelphia, or the City of New York, in the month of June, a.d. 1816, for the purpose of forming a General Grand Encampment of Knights Templars for the United States, and a Constitution for the government of the same ; and the M. E. Thomas Smith "Webb, M. E. Henry Fowle, and M. E. John Snow, were appointed accordingly. " The Delegates proceeded to the City of New York, where a Convention assembled, consisting of the representatives of nine Encampments and Councils." These extracts we copy from the 1818 edition of Webb's Monitor, and as Webb was the Grand Master of the United States Grand Encampment, and the moving spirit in the Convention at New York, his statement, as published, may be considered as correct. The United States Grand Encampment was evi- dently formed of the Encampments only in Ehode Island at that time, which were two in number, the one at Providence, already mentioned, and one recently organized at Newport. Webb continues : " The Convention, after mature de- liberation, formed and adopted a Constitution, and opened a General Grand Encampment of Knights Templars and the Appendant Orders for the United States." In addition to the above-named Encampments, a Council of K. E. C. had been formed at Portland, Maine. Webb states that the delegates of nine Encampments and Councils met in GRAND ENCAMPMENT OF THE TJNITED STATES. 455 Convention at New York. M. E. William B. Hubbard, in an address before the Grand Encampment of Ohio, in December, 1857, stated that he copied from " the original minutes," and enumerates only eight, as follows : — " Boston Encampment, Boston. St. John's Encampment, Providence. Ancient Encampment, New York. Temple Encampment, Albany. Montgomery Encampment, Stillwater. St. Paul's Encampment, Newburyport. Newport Encampment, Newport. Darius Encampment, Portland." Jerusalem Encampment, in New York, is omitted in the list of M. E. Hub- bard, and if he is right, Webb is wrong in stating that nine Encampments were represented. The Encampments in Pennsylvania and Maryland, and an En- campment which had been formed in Delaware, were not represented in the Convention. It is singular that Philadelphia should have been mentioned as one of the places for the General Grand Convention to be holden in, in June, 1816, by the United States Grand Encampment, which met in Boston in May, 181 6. It appears from the records of 1814, that the Grand Encampment of Penn- sylvania had taken the initiative to " extend its jurisdiction," as, at a Grand Convention of Knights Templar, convened in Philadelphia on the 15th of February, 1814, there were present representatives from Philadelphia, an En- campment at Pittsburg, Eising Sun Encampment, City of New York, and from the Encampment at Wilmington, Delaware, and Encampment, No. 1, Baltimore, Maryland. The Convention formed a Grand Encampment for Pennsylvania, adopted a Constitution, and elected the following officers : — M. E. William McCorkxe, of Philadelphia, General Grand Master. M. E. Archibald Hamilton, of Wilmington, Del., Grand Generalissimo. M. E. Peter Dobb, of New York, Grand Captain-General. B. E. Henry S. Keatinge, of Baltimore, Md., Grand Standard Bearer. B. E. John Sellers, of Wilmington, Del., Grand Chancellor. R. E. George A. Baker, of Philadelphia, Grand Recorder. R. E. Nathaniel Delhorn, of Philadelphia, Grand Treasurer. R. E. James Humes, of Philadelphia, Grand Sword Bearer. The officers were installed by Sir Knight James McDonald, of New York. The formation of this Grand Encampment, consisting of subordinate Encamp- ments from New York, Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania, may have been the reason why Philadelphia was named, by the United States Grand Encamp- ment of Boston, as one of the places for the holding of the Convention in June, 1816, and also for forming a "General Grand Encampment." The United States Grand Encampment formed in Rhode Island, although its jurisdiction by its constitution extended to every State and Territory where there was no Grand Encampment, yet it was composed only of the Encampments in that State, un- less some of the Encampments in New York or Massachusetts were formed by its authority, which hardly seems probable; whereas, at the Convention in New 456 WORLD'S MASONIC REGISTER. York, in June, 1816, in changing its title to " General Grand Encampment," it received into its folds the Encampments represented in New York and Massa- chusetts. It would appear as if this movement was taken in order to prevent the extension of the Pennsylvania Grand Encampment, in which it succeeded so well that it survived but a short period, and finally, at a very recent date, sub- ordinate Encampments were instituted, and a Grand Encampment formed in Pennsylvania by its authority, and the old Encampments also affiliated with the Grand Encampment under the jurisdiction of and subordinate to the General Grand Encampment. On the 29th of November, 1860, we addressed a letter to M. E. B. B. French, present Grand Master of the Grand Encampment of the United States, inquir- ing " if the General Grand Encampment held any meetings between the years 1807 and 1816," to which he, with his accustomed promptness, replied, under date of December 1st, 1860, as follows : " The regular records of the Grand En- campment of the United States show the first organization of that body on the 20th and 21st of June, 1816. There was some attempt to form a Grand En- campment prior to that time, as I have been told. I have never seen any record of it. From 1816 up, the meetings have been very regular. The first were triennial, viz.: First, 1816; and second, September, 1819. Then septen- nial: Third, September, 1826. Then again triennial: Fourth, September, 1829 ; fifth, 1832 ; and thence onward triennial up to the last, fourteenth, at Chicago, September, 1859." Notwithstanding the records of the Grand Encampment of the United States " show the first organization of that body on the 20th and 21st of June, 1816," it was nothing more nor less than a continuation of the Rhode Island " United States Grand Encampment," without any enlargement of its jurisdiction, only changing the title of the body.

FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES. 451 FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES. Freemasonry is a universal institution, because it is not confined to any particular nation or people. There is no North, no South, no East, nor West in Masonry. It is not bounded by geographical landmarks. Freemasonry is universal because it embraces within its folds the people of every religion aDd government. It does not recognize the political or religious elements of society. In thus far Freemasonry is universal as the love of the Creator, whose variegated mantle is spread high over all the beings made in His image. Freemasonry has its conditions, which constitute the qualifications those must possess who wish to become Freemasons. These are, a belief in God, the Creator of the universe, a life of virtue and goodness, an unimpaired intellect, to be men possessing a sound physical organization, to be of mature and discreet age, and free born. These qualifications Freemasonry requires those to possess who are admitted into its mysteries. In its universal character it cannot inquire into the birth- place, religion, or politics of applicants. As to the birthplace, all men are the children of the one Father; as to religion, each man is free to choose the path which he believes will bring him nearest God ; as to politics, Freemasonry enjoins obedience to the civil powers in every country where Freemasons reside. The conditions or qualifications may be thus stated : A belief in a Supreme Being, who created and governs all worlds, is a belief common to all intelligent beings; therefore no atheist can be made a Freemason. A life of virtue and goodness — a man must be a "good and true man ;" the "irreligious libertine, immoral or scandalous men" cannot be admitted members of the Masonic Order. An unimpaired intellect — mental imbecility disqualifies a man to observe the beneficent principles of the institution, or to preserve its secrets. To be men possessing a sound physical organization— no woman can be made a Mason — and to perform the work, to teach and be taught, a man must be hale and sound. To be of mature and discreet age — a Mason must act as becomes a moral and a wise man. To be free born — no bondman, those who are restrained of their liberty cannot if summoned, or when called to go out of their way to benefit a brother, comply with the requisites of Freemasonry ; such are therefore denied being received into membership in the fraternity. The great aim of Freemasonry is the establishment of a universal brotherhood ; therefore it cannot confine its privileges to any nation, country, people, or creed ; this universality, and the qualifications which those must possess who are admitted within its sanctuaries, form the basis upon which the institution is founded. As it at present exists — and Freemasonry is established in every country on the wide earth — a person desirous of becoming a Freemason must make application through one who is a Mason ; he must do so unsolicited, and of his own free will. He must have no mercenary object, but his sole motive must be a desire for knowledge, and to promote the welfare of society, which is 458 world's masonic register. the end and aim of the institution. The application must have two recom- menders, and it must be read in the open Lodge, and referred to a committee of investigation. This committee must consist of three, all Master Masons, neither of whom were the recommenders. It is the duty of this committee to satisfy themselves, by personal investigations, that the applicant possesses the qualifi- cations which Freemasonry requires. The importance of this duty cannot be over-estimated. It is, next to the ballot, the safeguard of the institution. If the committee are satisfied that the applicant is worthy, their report will be favorable ; if they find, upon due inquiry, that he is not worthy of being received into our fraternity, they must report accordingly. This duty no committee should fail in performing. There should be no equivocation in their report, no disguise or concealment, but the plain, naked truth should be stated, according to the best information which a diligent investigation elicited. The inquiry into the character of an applicant is a duty that no member of the Lodge can be exempt from ; each and every one must be satisfied of the applicant's worthiness. A committe is appointed merely for convenience, and the better regulation of the business of the Lodge. If the ballot is unanimous in favor of the applicant he is elected not only a member of the Lodge, but is entitled to receive the degrees of Masonry. In some States a ballot is taken for every degree, but in the older jurisdictions only one ballot is had. It must, however, be understood that if there are objections against an applicant, even after a unanimous ballot, he cannot be initiated until the objections are removed ; or if after he is initiated, he cannot be advanced. If there is more than one black ball against the candi- date he should be rejected, and his case considered as disposed of. If there is only one black ball, the Master should not declare the candidate rejected, but order the ballot to be taken a second time, in order to rectify a mistake, if one was made. If on the second ballot a black ball is again cast, the candidate must be declared rejected. In almost every jurisdiction the rejection of a can- didate is final for the time being, but he can apply again after a lapse of time, in most cases a twelvemonth, and the popular opinion or usage is against the reconsideration of the ballot. In Pennsylvania, however, the usage is different. If an applicant is rejected, a reconsideration of the ballot, on the same evening, may be moved, which is put on the record. On the next regular meeting the reconsideration is a proper subject of discussion, and if a majority of the mem- bers are in favor of the reconsideration, the applicant may be balloted for at the next or some subsequent meeting. If the ballot is all clear, he is elected; if not, he is rejected, and at no future time can the application be renewed without the consent of the Grand Lodge. The ballot, however, in all cases must be unanimous before a candidate can be elected or receive the degrees of Masonry. The ballot is a sacred right which no Mason can be deprived of, or the right impaired, if in good standing, of course, by any proceedings or legislation what- ever. The ballot must be secret. No Freemason has a right to say how he voted, or to intimate it in any manner so that it may be known; and on the other hand, no power can rightly compel him to disclose how he voted. A mis- taken notion has somehow obtained in some places, that a brother who votes a black ball is bound to give his reasons to the Master. This doctrine is taught by some authors, and it is known that much confusion has resulted in conse- quence of such erroneous teachings. FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES. 459 The petition of an applicant must lie over one month. A petition can only be received at a regular meeting, and balloting for candidates can only be held at regular meetings — that is, the stated monthly meetings — and there must be an interval of one full month between the conferring of the degrees. In Masonry no private matters of business or otherwise, no personal differ- ences, no objections of religion or politics, constitute valid grounds for deposit- ing a black ball. To do so would be wrong, as it would be wrong not to vote a black ball, or not to vote at all, where it was known that the applicant was guilty of crime, or unworthy to be initiated into the secrets of Masonry. A Mason ought never to shrink from the performance of a duty. A Mason should not be influenced to vote for an applicant because of friendship or association. His highest duty is to the institution. Neither should he recommend the peti- tion of any one unless fully satisfied that the applicant is every way worthy, and will fully conform to the precepts and established usages of the Order. The antecedents, circumstances, and social habits of the applicants are legiti- mate subjects for committees of investigation to inquire into. Religion, politics, and nationality are not proper subjects, and such inquiries are not only improper, but are contrary to and in violation of the spirit and principles of Freemasonry. The inquiry into the circumstances of applicants ought only to extend so far as that the initiation fee and monthly contributions will not subject the petitioner to inconvenience, or cause him to deprive his family of their accustomed com- forts. An applicant for the mysteries of Freemasonry must believe in a Supreme Being, the Creator of all worlds ; he must be a freeman, of mature age, of sound body and mind, and possess correct moral principles, and be capable of appre- ciating the sublime morality of the institution, and be of a benevolent, humane, and charitable disposition. Immoral men, those physically deformed or imbecile in mind, are disqualified by the laws of Masonry from being admitted into the membership of the fraternity. Freemasonry is a system of order, governed by laws having for their basis certain "landmarks," which are found, in the necessities of man, to promote his social happiness, to elevate and improve him intellectually and spiritually. These laws, to be beneficial and useful, must be strictly observed and adhered to. Every Lodge, in addition to the ancient landmarks, is also governed by the Constitution, rules and regulations of the Grand Lodge, which is the legislative- governing body of the jurisdiction; also, by a code of By-Laws, framed in accordance with the above, for its own internal government. The Constitutions of the several Grand Lodges differ; therefore Masons must be governed by the local laws of the Grand Lodge of the jurisdiction where they reside. The principles of Freemasonry comprehend the entire code of the moral law. To be a Mason is to be a good man. A good man will be an observer of law. The principles of Freemasonry, the ancient landmarks, the Constitutions and Laws of Grand Lodges, and the By-Laws of subordinate Lodges, all ought to blend harmoniously together, and in no part contradict each other or come into conflict. The By-Laws of Lodges ought to be simplified, and only contain such provisions as are necessary to systematize the working of the Lodge. Every By-Law should be faithfully lived up to. The time of meeting specified is as necessary to be observed as the particular stated night. Minutes and 30 460 world's masonic register. parts of hours are of importance to the man of well regulated mind ; and who better than Masons understand the value of time ? The officers especially of a Lodge, as well as its members, ought to be at the Lodge-room, so as to open the Lodge precisely at the time stated in the By-Laws. Indifference to a particular observance of any one law ought not to exist in any of the officers or the mem- bership. The Master is bound not only to observe the laws of his Lodge him- self, but strictly to enforce them also ; and the more rigid the letter of the law is adhered to, the better will be the spirit of Masonry among its membership. These observations apply to every law established for the government of the Craft. The Master of a Lodge ought to be well acquainted with the laws, usages, and customs of the Order. He ought to be a man of good judgment, discretion, and particularly ought to have his passions under good control. He ought to be an example of punctuality, faithfulness, zeal, devotion, and uprightness. If the Master is punctual in his attendance at the Lodge, the members will be punctual also. If the Master has the intelligence and capacity to instruct properly the members, they will also be intelligent Masons. Whatever his social disposition may be out of the Lodge among his brethren and friends, in the Lodge he must maintain a dignity of character suited to the position which he occupies. Freemasonry is a system of order and regularity ; the work of the Lodge ought therefore to be conducted free from confusion. The Lodge being under the charge of the Master, and as he holds the gavel, he holds in his hand the authori- tative emblem which can command order and regularity. The gavel should be used with the utmost caution ; its monitions should never be disregarded. The Master is supreme in his Lodge ; his word is law ; from his decision there is no appeal; at least upon questions of Masonic usage he is, according to the general verdict of Masonic jurists, above all law during his term of office, so far as re- gards the membership of his Lodge, and is only amenable to the Grand Lodge for any misconduct or violation of the laws of the Order. As Lodges are constituted now, having their warrants from a Grand Lodge, their officers and members are under obligations to support, keep, and abide by the Constitution and Laws of the Grand Lodge of their particular jurisdiction; hence these and the ancient landmarks form the code of laws by which they are governed. As the Constitution and Laws of the many Grand Lodges all differ one from the other, no code of Masonic Law nor principles of jurisprudence can be universally applicable to the Craft of all the various jurisdictions. This is a matter that ought to be well understood, as it may prevent much confusion in the decision of Masonic questions. The legislation of the Craft is confined to Grand Lodges. Subordinate Lodges meet for purposes expressed in the warrants, and to perform the functions for which Freemasonry was instituted. These are, to open and close the Lodge ac- cording to the Eitual practiced in each jurisdiction, to make Masons, to practice charity, to impart instruction, to perfect themselves in the work, and to transact the usual business of organized associations. The whole must be conducted in the most systematic and orderly manner. The Lodge during its sessions must be under the control and direction of the presiding officer. He ought to be well acquainted with the duties of the chair, and be vigilant and attentive to all THE ENTERED APPRENTICE. 461 that transpires in the Lodge. He ought to direct all the business so as to avoid confusion, and no officer ought to perform any duty of his office without first having been directed from the Oriental chair. The word of command must come from the Master, and obedience is the duty of all. The Lodge being opened at the time prescribed in the By-Laws, and conse- quently the officers in their proper places, the Master directs the business as in his judgment is best to the interest of the Lodge, and according to circum- stances. The reading of the minutes of the preceding meeting is usually the first business. The Master, however, may transpose the business. And here we may be permitted to remark that as it is becoming a practice for Grand Lodges to frame By-Laws for the government of subordinate Lodges — a course which we do not approve of, as centralizing a power already too great in Grand Lodges — it would be well to leave the routine of business to the discretion of the Worshipful Masters, as no code of By-Laws, however voluminous, can pro- vide for every contingency that may arise, and circumstances may occur in which the interests of the Lodge may be affected by being compelled to pursue a prescribed form. It is unnecessary to notice the various business matters transacted in the Lodge. The members should be silent, and remain in their places while the Lodge is in session, and be particularly attentive to the proceedings. There should be no whispering while the minutes are being read, or reports of com- mittees, or balloting, which are pursued in succession, or during the work of Entering, Crafting, or Baising, which, if candidates are present, are followed in order. If the Secretary has omitted something, or the record is at fault, a mem- ber may state the fact by respectfully rising and addressing the chair. The presiding officer must in all cases be addressed, if a brother wishes to speak. The minutes ought to show clearly all the transactions of the Lodge, and before closing the Lodge, and after reading the collections, the amounts and from whom received, the proceedings, as recorded, ought to be read. And as the brethren while in the Lodge meet upon the level, so they ought to part upon the square, and each maintain a rigid silence as to the proceedings of the Lodge, as best conducive to the harmony and welfare of the institution. THE ENTEEED APPEENTICE. As Blue Masonry forms the basis,%nd is the foundation of all other branches of our mystic Order, so the Entered Apprentice degree is the corner-stone of Freemasonry, upon which all the other degrees are built. It is in this degree the initiated is brought to light, to behold the beauties of the Masonic Order ; and has revealed to him the system which in the beginning of his Masonic creation connects him in the chain of fraternity with the brotherhood through- out the globe. In this degree he is linked in the universal chain and is hailed as a brother, and the hand of Masonic fellowship extended to him. The initia- tion of a candidate into the mysteries of Freemasonry ought to be considered by him a most important event : he enters a new life, forms new relations and con- 462 world's masonic register. nections, and as a member of the cosmopolitan Order, he becomes a citizen of the world, in every part of which he finds a home and brothers of the same family. To him it is a new birth : he is ushered into existence, as it were, from the womb of darkness into the light of day. He is then first taught to stand erect in the majesty of his manhood, as all the children of the Good Father should stand before Him, free from sin and guiltless before God and men. As a child, he is taught to walk with careful step, lest he should stumble and fall in the narrow path which leads to God. He is also like a youthful learner taught his first lessons of the mystic science in easy symbolic teachings readily to be comprehended, which are enforced in language significant and impressive, so that on the heart's tracing-board they may be indelibly fixed. Happy the learner within whose bosom these teachings are firmly traced and acted out in every-day life. An Entered Apprentice, like a new-born infant, is always greeted with a hearty welcome and hailed with gladness and joy, and becomes at once domiciled and affiliated with the members of the household under whose guidance he has placed himself. As a dutiful child he should learn his lessons well, be obedient to his instructors, and in his daily walks and conversation exhibit a lively gratitude for the favor shown him in electing him to a relationship with the ancient and honorable Order. WARDEN, IN ABSENCE OF THE MASTER. The right of the Warden to preside in the absence of the Master is imposed upon him by the sixth section of fifth of the Ancient Charges, which reads : "When a Fellow Craftsman is chosen Warden of the work under the Master, he shall be true both to Master and Fellows, shall carefully oversee the work in the Master's absence to the Lord's profit, and his brethren shall obey him.'' It is made imperative upon the brethren to obey him, and consequently it is his duty to discharge all of the obligations of the chair in the absence of the Master — how otherwise could the brethren obey him unless he presided and performed the duties of the Master ? The proper construction of the Ancient Charges implies competency on the part of the Warden, and a discrimination in the selection of the officer. It cannot be too strongly enforced that the brother chosen Warden of the work should be possessed of Masonic zeal and ability, so that either on arriving at the Master's chair or being called upon to preside in consequence of the Master's absence, he^be capable to discharge the duties pertaining to the Orient. He cannot be true to either Master or Fellows if he is not proficient and cannot fulfill the duties of the chair. The positive declara- tion, " and his brethren shall obey him," implies that he shall have acquired a knowledge of all the Master's duties and oversee the work to the Lord's profit. It is also the duty of the members of a Lodge to be satisfied that the brother chosen as Warden has the necessary qualifications to fit him for the office. No rule or regulation of a Grand Lodge, or dispensation of a Grand Master, can deprive the Warden of his right to oversee the Master's work in his absence ; that is, in the absence of the Master from any cause. The Warden MASONIC RULES. 463 shall be true, shall carefully oversee the work, shall preside and discharge all the duties of the Master. The above landmark involves more than is generally seen on the surface. If it is made the imperative duty of the Warden to "over- see the work iu the Master's absence," can a Warden resign 1 We emphatically say no. He cannot without violating his obligation ; and if the Warden cannot resign, the Master surely cannot. There is a beauty, a harmonious system in the government of Freemasonry, which, to be appreciated, must be carefully studied. A Lodge, or a Grand Lodge, once organized, cannot in any probable event be left deficient, and the obligation of office once taken cannot be annulled until the end of the period stated, and the regular election and installation of a successor. The rights and duties of the chair devolve upon the Warden, if the Master dies, removes from the jurisdiction, or is unable from any cause to attend the meetings of the Lodge ; and no Lodge can, consistently with the landmarks of Freemasonry, absolve the Master from his obligation by accepting his resig- nation. The obligation once taken, cannot be abrogated ; it is binding upon the officer and the Lodge. The covenant is of too solemn and binding a character ; no circumstances or contingencies can Masonically cause its revo- cation. MASONIC RULES. Never solicit any man to become a Mason. Never recommend an applicant unless you know him to be a good man, and who will conform to the precepts of the institution. Never cast your ballot in favor of a candidate unless you know him to be worthy, and his moral character free from reproach. Never fail to exercise your rights as a member of your Lodge, and vote upon every application. Never let it be known, either directly or indirectly, how you vote upon an ap- plication for the mysteries of the Order. Never be afraid to do your duty if you believe a candidate is not worthy to be received into membership with us. Never speak of Lodge matters in unseemly or improper places. Never indulge in practices that may bring reproach upon the institution. Never forget that you are a Freemason, a link in the chain of the universal brotherhood. Never be absent from the meetings of your Lodge if you can help it. Never forget that a Freemason is your brother, and treat him accordingly. Never fail to admonish a brother if you see him err. Never repel the approach of a brother because he is poor. A Mason must be a "peaceable subject to the civil powers, wherever he resides or works." He must never be concerned in plots and conspiracies against the peace and welfare of the nation. He must be cautious in his words and carriage. He must act as becomes a moral and wise man. 464 world's masonic register. He must consult his health by not continuing too long from home after Lodge hours. He must avoid gluttony and drunkenness so that his family be not neglected or injured, nor he be disabled from working. He must relieve a brother, if he can, when he is in want. He is to avoid all wrangling and quarreling ; all back-biting and slander. He must defend his brother's character, and do him all good offices as far as is consistent with his honor and safety. Masons must salute each other courteously, calling each other brother. MASONRY'S PROVINCE. Freemasonry has a glorious mission to perform in promoting the future wel- fare of the human family. In the progress of civilization through all past ages, it has been the pioneer, it has pointed out the way, and prepared man for greater, and still greater usefulness. It has been prominent in all the leading movements which had for their object the improvement and advancement of society. In the progress of science, the cultivation of the arts, improved legis- lation, and physical and intellectual development, Freemasonry always has and always will control and direct the human mind and the energies of the race, because its aim is — the great purposes of its institution, for which it was established — to qualify man so to live as to achieve the purposes for which he was created, and to prepare and fit him to become a living stone in God's Holy Temple. The progress of use is developed in the history of man, as the ultimate of his condition, and is unfolded in the book of nature as God's established law. It is Masonry's especial province, as the echo of the past and as its sublime princi- ples teach, to co-operate with the Divine Creator in developing the hidden mysterious uses, latent in the world of nature and intellect, which the Supreme Architect has wisely hidden from observation, so that his creatures in the pur- suit of knowledge would unfold the great scheme of humanity. In the progress of life and the advancement of the human family, the progression of man to the attainment of a higher perfection is the ultimate of the individual and the final destiny of mankind ; and to the advancement of this great scheme of progres- sion, the love principle in its magnetic influences will attract man more and more closely to his brother man to co-operate and unite with him, and thus, in the establishment of a " brotherhood of man," the plan of the Divine Architect will be accomplished. In the promotion of this great work, the brotherhood of man, Freemasonry, through the influence of its beneficent principles lived up to by the upright and true Crafts-men, in quiet unobtrusiveness will yet accomplish the object of its institution. Man needs the fellowship of his brother. The co- operation of society is necessary to develop the energies and enterprises for man's use. Freemasonry binds with the cords of love those who are true to their God and themselves, and through the magic influence of love combined with a faithful discharge of Masonry's obligations, the brotherhood of man will be established. FREEMASONRY. — THE LAW OP LOVE. 465 FREEMASONRY. Freemasonry, in every age and in all lands, has ranked among its disciples the brightest intellects, the men of genius and mind, those whose names are im- printed upon the world's history, who gave forth thoughts clothed in tangible realities, blessing mankind with their labors, which the human family will forever enjoy, and which, because of their enduring character, are the best evidences of and prove the immortality of man. These have lived for the good of the race ; such was their aim and purpose ; it was no selfish atmosphere they breathed. Among a host of those, the fruits of whose intellectual labors and devotion to the cause of humanity the generations of men passed away and those now living have gratefully awarded the high meed of being benefactors of the race, who were Freemasons, members of our time-honored Order, we will only name Washington, Franklin, and Fulton. These, in their lives, practically exemplified the principles of Freemasonry, and these are evidences of its influences in de- veloping mind. The immortality of man and his close relation to the Eternal Father are indicated by an analogy that scarce admits of a doubt, in the per- manence of thought, the creations of the mind which live forever in the world of man, and are perpetuated evermore. In the race of intellectual development, Freemasons are always foremost, ever in advance, because true to the principles of the institution, they are true to their own natures, and true to the Eternal Father. THE LAW OF LOVE. As far back in the records of time as the promulgation of the law, embracing within the Ten Commandments the essential points of the religious and civil code of nations, the principle of love toward God and man was inculcated. As a sentiment particularly beautiful in theory, it has been approved by all religious bodies, and the duty of man loving God and his fellow-man adopted as a part of their theological creed. But beyond the mere theological expression of the sentiment, it has always been nearly a dead letter; the practice, except in isolated cases, has never, by either layman or teacher, if words and actions are evidence, been considered as a duty obligatory upon man. In assuming for Freemasonry a high morality, and the practice of the most sacred obligations the relation of man to his fellow-man imposes, we do not reflect upon other in- stitutions professing more, further than to state the naked and incontrovertible truth, and in asserting that love and good-will to man is lived out in the walks and circumstances of life to a greater degree among Freemasons, as members of the institution, than among those of any other religious or benevolent associa- tion, we are not deceiving ourselves nor making vain pretensions for the purpose of deception. The mere profession of good-will to our neighbor, without reduc- ing it to practice in life, is like covering a filthy form with a beautiful garment. God is love, and the manifestations of His love are seen in all His works, if we 466 world's masonic register. appreciate and correctly interpret the unceasing regard of our Heavenly Parent for all the children of His creation. Be good, be kind, love your brother, will be seen deeply imprinted with the Divine finger upon all that the outer and inner senses can discern. To profess to love God, and not love the being made in His image, is an idle pretense, a myth, because we can only manifest love to God through the representative of the Divine image. If Freemasons do not love their brother man, and, indeed, there are some who do not, that is only proof that such do not live up to their professions. The law of love is stamped upon the breast of every man. If it is not developed, it is a sure indication that the impression has been effaced by corrupt teachings, by neglecting to cultivate the Divine nature, by the engrossment of the selfish desires and the gratification of the animal passions. Man's love for his fellow-man has not been manifested to any extent in this world, and yet man's need of his kind at all times and sea- sons ought to insure the most sincere and kindly feelings for his brother. Free- masonry, in its original institution, and as it at the present time teaches, has for its object to bind men closely together by the golden chain of love, to unfold the kindly sympathies of our natures, to practice those duties which the mysterious voice of God within us directs we should do, that thus in the faithful discharge of our mission as intelligent beings we promote our own as well as our neighbor's welfare, and manifest our love to the Great Author of our being. THE BALLOT. The highest duty which a Freemason can exercise in his Masonic character is that of the ballot. It should, therefore, be exercised conscientiously and hon- estly, and never lightly or with indifference, nor where there is any doubt. The purity of the institution depends upon the ballot. If unworthy applicants are admitted into the Lodge, it is i because a due regard to the ballot has not been had. The ballot is the safeguard of the institution, and the Freemason who votes for an applicant without due inquiry, or has doubts as to the person's fit- ness to become a member, is equally culpable with the one who will vote against a good and worthy man because of some personal differences or prejudices. The highest and purest motives ought to govern the Craft in the exercise of the ballot. No man has a right to become a member of Our order, only such as moral excel- lence and worth can confer ; and these only entitle him to seek fellowship with us, and he must undergo the ordeal of a unanimous ballot. If no discrimination can be made in favor of the man of exalted virtues, surely the door ought to be guarded closely, ay, most closely, against those concerning whom we have a doubt. The ballot has not been exercised with a due care to the purity integrity, and perpetu- ity of the institution. We have enjoyed an unusual degree of prosperity. The great desire for Masonry is abating. Let us not fall into the other error, that when so many were knocking at our door it was difficult to discriminate between the good, and all, or nearly so, were admitted, that now when the applicants are few, these must be received in order to support the Lodges and perpetuate the institution. This will be a most fatal error. Exercise the ballot with a discrim- inating judgment, and have no fear as to the results. THE GOLDEN RULE. 461 THE GOLDEN RULE. If Freemasons do not exemplify in practice the duties of humanity, if they do not exhibit in their intercourse with each other and the world the golden rule so emphatically taught in all the mysteries, from the first step to the last, then in vaia may we look elsewhere for that great good which it is incum- bent on every child of man to assist in accomplishing ; for the lion and the lamb, the strong and the weak man to dwell together in peace, and to be linked in the golden chain of humanity's relations so that the principle of love will attract them, and the claims of a common nature actuate them in all of their social intercourse with each other. It is not contemplated that the day of this great good is to be postponed until » future time, wheu it is supposed that the laws which govern the universe will be disturbed and the course of the elements changed, but it is the duty of every man, and particularly those who are bound by obligations of a sacred and fraternal character, now, at this time, each one for himself, to apply the golden rule to all of his actions, to square his conduct by the eternal law of love — love for his fellow-man — so that within his sphere, and within the circumference of his individual self, there shall be no war, no antagonism, no hostility to his fellows. The time for turning spears into pruning-hooks, and swords into plowshares, and establishing peace between man and man is even now, this day, and any postponement to a future period is only a continued violation-of the law of love which ought to bind man in fraternal relations with his fellow-man, and the golden rule form the basis of all his intercourse and social obligations. The ideal future, when man will not be influenced by the passions of his animal nature, is too far distant and problematical to govern rational, intelligent creat- ures who have already commenced their immortal career, and to whom every moment is important in developing the perfection of their natures in their prog- ress onward and upward to the ultimate of all perfections. Our duties com- mence here. We must be provident of our time. The Great Author of creation has purposed that his creatures shall avail themselves of the circumstances and conditions of the sphere within which they are placed to develop the highest plane their natures are capable of attaining. There can be no modification, no change of the eternal principles which God has established from the beginning of the creation, in order to accommodate His creatures in pursuits irrational, and which are not of an upward, progressive tendency. The laws of God are immutable. The period of man's progression commences in the earthly life. It is here where the foundation of our future must be laid — here where the law of love must be developed — here where the golden rule must be practiced — here where the strong passions of our animal nature must be controlled by reason — here where the first step of our existence commences, and the structure is erected which forms the tabernacle for the immortal spirit — and it is here where we form the link in the chain of immortal existences. It is, then, our plain duty to observe the golden rule, to practice it, to make it the basis of all our actions, 468 world's masonic register. and thus demonstrate in ourselves that we have lived up to that good time, that we have approached that happy era, that the warring passions of our nature have been changed to those of a peaceful character, and a regard for the Divine image in man forms the basis which influences and directs us in our daily life and conversation. THE PROBLEM OF MAW'S MISSION. It would indeed be strange if Freemasonry did not keep pace with the prog- ress of intellectual development, with the improvement of the age in the useful arts, in mental and practical philosophy, and the working out and elucidation of the great problem, the mission of man. Freemasonry has to do with man — man the highest creation of the Supreme Mind, man individually, and man in the aggregate, and through the exemplification and influence of its principles and precepts lead the way in promoting the advancement and elevation of the race. Like the silent operations of nature which although unseen clothe the field with verdure, cause the blossoms to unfold and the fruit to ripen, or, through the creations of animalculae scarcely perceptible of which islands are formed, so, Freemasonry unobtrusively and in quiet, through the influence of the practical virtues of its disciples has been the means of propagating an enlight- ened philosophy by which man has learned to subdue and govern his passions, and accord to others that which he claims for himself. That civilization owes much to the humanizing principles of Freemasonry cannot be questioned, indeed it would be difficult to assign a cause of greater or equal potency in harmonizing man, who with diverse interests, dissimilar dispositions, and peculiarities arising from the different organic structure of each which in an uncultivated state, or where the influence of Freemasonry has not reached, is exhibited in the an- tagonism of man to his fellow-man, but wherever Freemasonry manifests itself, and wherever the civilized man goes to plant his standard for the purpose of making the soil subservient to his purposes, there Freemasonry goes also, and through the influence of its teachings impels him to walk erect in the majesty of his manhood as a being destined for the highest purposes. In working out the problem of his mission, the Freemason who walks onward, ever onward toward the goal of perfection, is never off, but is continually advancing from lower to higher, always traveling out of the sphere in which he is, onward and upward to a better, the point within the centre being his aim. Thus the true Freemason always keeps pace with the progressive developments of man ; but those who are contented with the mere ceremonial of Freemasonry, who have not the disposition to pass out of the outer court, or to acquire the knowledge necessary to comprehend the symbolism of the architecture of the interior of the temple, have no conception of man's mission, nor do they participate in working out or elucidating the great problem, man's present and future being. Alas ! the outer courts are crowded, full, and more than full, and there the vast majority of initiates remain, preventing often good and true men from entering, while within the sanctum sanctorum there is much empty space. THE KIND WORD SPOKEN. — THE FRATERNAL ELEMENT. 469 THE KIND WORD SPOKEN. "Bless you for the kind word spoken !" was the response of a poorly-clad and wearied-looking man, who had seated himself on the steps of a large mansion, in reply to a gentlemanly person who approached and was about mounting the steps, and who in a kindly and sympathetic tone of voice addressed the stranger : "My good man, you look wearied and fatigued; come into the house and rest yourself, and partake of some refreshment, as you appear to be in need of nour- ishment." The tears rose in the eyes of the stranger as he listened to the above words. He was indeed nearly worn out with fatigue, having traveled far to reach the city, and had not partaken of food during the day. He had seated himself on several steps before to rest himself, and from each he had been driven as a vagrant, until, sad and sorrowful of heart, he had gone onward as long as he was able to walk, the demon of dark despair encircling round his soul, when of a sudden the bright rays of heaven shone upon him by the magic influence of the sympathetic voice that spoke kindly to him. Oh, proud and haughty man, what will your wealth avail you when the summons comes for you to pass away from earth? How will the record of your heart bear evidence for kindness shown to your poor brother ? Even though he be poor, ay, and has sinned, he is your brother notwithstanding, and your obligations to him are as binding as though he were your equal in wealth ; yes, more so, for.you have that which he needs, and duty and humanity demand that you should supply at least his present needs. The kind word spoken to the poor and those bowed in affliction touches a chord whose vibrations ascend to the celestial sphere, and seraph hearts beat with gladness and joy. Such words are God's messengers. The poor man, though forlorn and forsaken of men, in the purity of his soul and his affinities may be fitted for a high place in the mansions of celestial glory. It may be God's purpose that the poor, and even those termed vicious, are among us as trials of man's love and humanity. Oh, wealthy man, take heed and spurn not the poor and the destitute, for they are human — they are your brothers ! The God who created you created them. You are both made in his image and his likeness. THE FRATERNAL ELEMENT. Oh that man would cultivate within himself a fraternal feeling for his brother man, and be governed in his communions, his social relations, his sympathies, by the principle of love, and not by impulses, according to circumstances or accidental surroundings 1 Life on earth is necessarily brief, and why should man , in violation of the laws of the heavenly principle of love implanted in his nature by the Father of all, harbor animosity, be unkind, deceive or injure his brother man ? Every act, word, and thought go to make up the constituent elements of the man; and is it not better to cultivate and develop the good, the heavenly, the God in man, than the evil ? The unkind word spoken can never be recalled, 470 world's masonic register. its effects upon ourselvtes may not be wiped out in time, so with anger, deception, willful wrong ; while these are a perfect barrier to our progress onward and up- ward, they render us incapable of enjoying the pure delights of communion with the immortal spirit. Nor do the effects cease with the spirit's entrance into an- other sphere. The deception, the wrong, the evils of anger and unkindness re- main, and are not obliterated because of the separation of the body and spirit, and the necessary change of condition from the visible to the invisible, from the earthly to the spiritual sphere. That must be a work of progress, spiritual prog- ress, from out of the sphere in which we are to a higher, and higher, and better; a progress which has no termination. The law is as immutable and fixed as the existence of the Creator, that in order to progress heavenward, we must endeavor to attain the good, and divest ourselves of all evil. It is neither impossible nor impracticable to attain the highest degree of perfection our nature is capable of, if we only cultivate the germs of those principles implanted in us by the Creator, and develop all that is good, and true, and just of the living spirit within us. Our relations to our fellow-man render it not only necessary but obligatory upon every human being to aid the designs of the Father of all ; to promote a kindly, generous, fraternal fellowship, and to harmonize the variety of individualities, and unite them by the golden bonds of love into one great fraternal brother- hood. To effect this, every man must begin with himself. If in consequence of education, association, or from any other cause, the elements of an antagon- istic disposition to the law of love and fraternity control, the greater the neces- sity to work a reform ; and it only needs application, a severe and rigid scrutiny into his own interior life, an unceasing vigilance, and an earnest and sincere desire to improve and perfect himself in order to subject the grosser passions of his nature to proper discipline ; and however difficult all this may seem, yet man has the power within himself to govern the elements of discord and to rise superior to their control. The fraternal element is God's sphere, and in that element man should live and move, for such was the design of his being. Love your brother man is inscribed upon the records of Revelation, and upon the hearts of all immortal intelligences. MASONRY IS NOT RELIGION. It is a stereotyped remark of most orators of the clerical order, in delivering addresses before bodies of Freemasons, that " Masonry is not religion," while at the same time they eulogize in the highest degree the principles, tenets, morality, and practical benevolence of Freemasonry. We have often had it in our mind to ask those learned divines, our brother Chaplains, what is religion ? If reli- gion is to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly before God and man, then we say that Masonry is religion, because it teaches love and obedience to God and his holy laws, and love to man, and reverence and humility. If by religion is meant a creed — a system of theological dogmas of any or a particular church — then we say Amen, that Masonry is not religion. The religion of Masonry is not a system of abstruse metaphysical dogmas, but its tenets are plain, practical, THE FIRST STEP. 4T1 and of universal comprehension. The highest aspirations of the soul cannot go beyond a sincere love and veneration for Him who created all things ; and to love G-od with all our heart and soul, and our neighbor as ourselves, is the highest manifestation — the very highest — of devotion. , This Masonry teaches in all of its degrees, not as abstract dogmas, but as realities evinced in the life and conduct of its disciples. The religion of Masonry constructs no wall to separate one portion of the Craft from the rest ; but within its spacious temple all, with- out any violation of their principles or profession, worship at its altars as one loving brotherhood, in harmony and peace. If by religion is meant the religion of the church, then we admit that Masonry is not religion, because the church has never been able, nay, has never sought to embrace in communion their brother man, because he was a man and their brother ; the belief in a certain creed is generally the principal and essential qualification — not so with Masonry. Masonry teaches that during our pilgrimage on earth we must practice all the social virtues, exemplify in deeds of benevolence, in sympathy and affection, our regard for our brother man ; and fellowship on these considerations can alone be claimed ; and while Masonry requires the evidence of a virtuous and pure life, it also demands that the basis of such life shall have its foundation in an acknowledgment of a belief in the one living and true God. And as Masonry teaches the immortality of the soul, it is conclusive that the belief in God and obedience to his holy laws have for their object the happiness of man> not 'only in this life, but in the life hereafter. Can religion, in its highest sense, claim more ? And if Masonry is not religion, must it not be something better ? THE FIRST STEP. The first step in Freemasonry is the most important, and should not only so be considered by the candidate, but he should be so instructed by the Master in his charge. The obligations of all future teachings in all the succeeding degrees are based upon the lessons taught in the initiatory degree. It is for this reason that the Master should be particularly careful to impress upon the candidate the exalted privileges to which he has been admitted by having the honors of Freemasonry conferred upon him. In receiving this degree he is made a link in the great chain of Masonry which binds him with good and true men in every part of the world. He becomes one of the great brotherhood. He is for the first time admitted into a Lodge of Freemasons, and becomes acquainted with some of the mysteries of the Order. Before his admission he is like all the world, in darkness, as regards the secrets of Freemasonry. Having entered, he is brought to light, and beholds that which to the uninitiated must ever remain a secret. It is also an evidence that he passed the scrutinizing ordeal of a unanimous ballot, that he had been found worthy of being initiated into the mysteries of the Order, and that the members were willing to receive him as one of their Masonic family. In taking the first step he is taught that as he has been found upright and worthy, so should he ever continue, in order to prove that the confidence of the brethren has not been misplaced. 472 world's masonic register. OFFICE SEEKING. It is a failing from which few men are exempt to laud those who occupy prominent positions in society, not regarding the means, the influence, or the merit which may have given them such distinction. It may be wealth, which is also lauded, or diplomacy, intrigue or trickery, which has given a man a promi- nence ; it matters not, so he has it he must be worshiped. From this failing, or rather weakness, Freemasons are not free; they also worship Baal, and hence the aspiration for office — to be elected Master or Warden ; and hence the reason also why the membership give their suffrages, not to merit, not to the truly deserving, but to those who can best urge their pretensions. This is not uni- versal. There are many exceptions, where a different rule prevails ; but in large cities rotation in office is the general practice, and wherever such is the usage ambition is excited, and schemes planned by aspiring members in order to secure an election. We need not say that such practices to gain office are un- Masonic. The Freemason must, indeed, be very ignorant of the principles of Freemasonry who does not know that only those who excel in Masonry ought to be advanced, are alone entitled to its honors ; and such never seek office, never seek distinction. Our experience has taught us that the best working Lodges, and indeed the best Masons, are among those where the experienced workmen are selected, and who for a term of years guide the destinies of the Lodge. The practice of changing officers every year, for the purpose of making Past Masters, is a bad one. The influence of a Lodge may be increased by such a rule, but the influence is necessarily of an evil character. DUTIES NOT CIRCUMSCRIBED. Freemasons have a high and noble mission. Their duties are not circumscribed to ministering only to the physical wants of their brethren, by no means. There are higher wants than those which belong to the animal man, wants which only the sympathies of kind and generous souls can supply. In relieving the physical needs of our brethren, we only act as almoners of the bounties which the Good Father has supplied us with, we give a portion of our superabundance, we give that which we must of necessity leave behind us when we go to that " unseen land" where spirits and angels dwell, we give of that which neither impoverishes us nor contributes to our future welfare. But if we share our sympathies with our brother, if we inspire him with hope when life is blank and all is drear within, if we animate him with noble aspirations, if we arouse his drooping energies, if we encourage him to pursue life's journey, and to overcome the trials and temptations of our nature, if by our counsel and guidance we aid him in improving himself morally and spiritually, then we really act up to our high vocation not only as members of the Masonic Order, but as men made in the image and likeness of God. FREEMASONRY. — THE ANCIENT CHARGES. 473 FREEMASONRY. The world, judging Freemasonry from the staud-point of some who have unfortunately been admitted into the institution, do it and the majority of its membership great injustice. It is true that it is the fault of the members that unworthy men have been and are admitted into the Masonic brotherhood ; but where is the institution existing that is not liable to, and whose membership have not committed a similar error 1 Freemasons are but men, and friendship or personal interests will sway the minds of some, and cause them to be blind to the faults of those whom they desire to see linked in the fraternal chain. As a human institution, Freemasonry is based upon principles calculated to develop the best impulses of our nature, a generous philanthropy, a genuine benevolence, a fraternal, a humanizing spirit. These godlike characteristics are exhibited in the daily life and practice of the true Freemason. In every community will be found members of our time-honored Order, who are exemplary in all their actions, and it may be said that the men who have gained a character among their fellow-citizens for all that is noble and good are in fact Freemasons. It is, therefore, ungenerous and unjust to judge the entire membership of the frater- nity because of a few black sheep having been admitted into our Order. There is nothing that is good in morals or religion which is not taught in our mysteries, and no institution can have a better foundation or better principles than Free- masonry. THE ANCIENT CHARGES. < The ancient charges afford the most ample food for reflection, and the Free- mason who will read them attentively and thoughtfully cannot fail to become imbued with sentiments which must necessarily promote his earthly happiness, as well as benefit him spiritually, if he will only live up to the principles which they enjoin. "We can conceive of no better mode for the brethren to employ their time, when not engaged in actual labor, than to take any one sentiment con- tained in these charges and make it the basis of an address or lecture, or eluci- date it in conversational discussion. Take our word for it, that any Lodge which will act up to the above suggestion will be distinguished for the correctness of its work and its symbolic exemplification, as well as the moral rectitude of its membership. Take, for example, the following from the fifth section of article six: "You must also consult your health,- by not continuing together too late, or too long from home, after Lodge hours are past, and by avoiding of gluttony or drunkenness, that your families be not neglected or injured, nor you disabled from working." No one will question the soundness or propriety of the sentiments contained in the text just quoted. It must be remembered that the ancient charges em- body the landmarks of Freemasonry. These cannot be changed, nor should 474 world's masonic register. they be violated. The rule of conduct laid down in the above extract is as ob- ligatory upon Freemasons to observe as what are termed the secrets of the Order. Indeed, every Freemason has obligated himself to maintain the land- marks of the Order, and the above rules form a part of the landmarks. In order to impress particularly upon the members of the Order the obligation to observe the above rules of conduct, the ancient charges should be frequently read, com- mented upon and made the basis of Masonic lectures. The extract we have made from the charges can be elaborated and dilated upon so as to add interest to the Lodge meetings, and benefit and improve its membership. "We need not be more particular. Will the brethren try it? Every Lodge ought to be a school of instruction, and no better nor more effective plan can be adopted than the one we have suggested. world's masonic register. 475 USEFUL TO EVERY FREEMASON.

Freemasonry no doubt existed in Britain before the Roman invasion. There is abundant reliable historical and other documentary evidence showing its estab- lishment and subsequent progress and extension. The first Grand Lodge was established in 926, by Edwin, brother to Athelstane, the then reigning monarch. King Athelstane granted a charter to his brother Edwin, empowering the frater- nity to assemble annually at York. This Grand Lodge exercised jurisdiction over all England, and the fraternity universally acknowledged allegiance to it. The City of York was at that time the metropolis of England, and it was conceded to be the original seat of Masonic government — no other place pretended to claim it. The Grand Lodge was held in the highest veneration, and every Mason in the kingdom considered himself bound by the charges which originally sprung from that body. "To be ranked," Preston remarks, in 1772, "as descendants of the original York Masons, was the glory and boast of the brethren in almost every country where Masonry has been regularly established; and from the prev- alence and universality of the idea that in the City of York Masonry was first authorized by charter, the Masons of England have received tribute from the first States in Europe." The Grand Lodge at York continued to hold supreme jurisdiction in England, and its authority was universally recognized, until in the fifteenth century, the Craft in London, where they had become numerous, also became ambitious to have the seat of Masonic government transferred from the City of York to the City of London. It appears that in consequence of certain demands, a Grand Master was "appointed" for the South of Eng- land, in 1567. "What the nature of these demands were, or why a Grand Mas- ter was appointed for the South of England (by which is understood the district embracing the City of London) can only be inferred from what Preston says, and the subsequent history of the London Freemasons. Preston, in his "Illus- trations of Masonry," has an article under the caption '-Ancient Historical Records of Masonry," which refers to an invasion of the rights of the York Grand Lodge, from which we copy the following : "As the constitutions of the English Lodges are derived from this General Assembly at York— as all Ma- sons are bound to observe and. preserve those in all time coming — and as there is no satisfactory proof that such assembly was ever regularly removed by the resolution of its members, but that, on the contrary, the fraternity still continue to meet in that city under this appellation, it may remain a doubt whether, while those constitutions exist as the standard of Masonic conduct, that Assembly may not justly claim the allegiance to which their original authority entitled them ; and whether any other convention of Masons, however great their consequence may be, can, consistently with those constitutions, withdraw their allegiance from (477) 478 world's masonic register that Assembly, or set aside an authority to which not only antiquity, but the concurrent approbation of Masons for ages, under the most solemn engage- ments, have repeatedly given a sanction. " It is to be regretted that the idea of superiority, and a wish to acquire abso- lute dominion, should occasion a contest among Masons. Were the principles of the Order better understood, and more generally practiced, the intention of the institution would be more fully answered. Every Mason would consider his brother as his fellow, and he who, by generous and virtuous actions, could best promote the happiness of society, would always be most likely to receive homage and respect." It is singular that Dr. Oliver, in his reprint of Preston, omits the whole of the two paragraphs just quoted. Preston, however, with the records before him, and understanding the whole of the question, gives a plain intimation why a Grand Master was appointed for the South of England, and the motives that influenced the Craft in London in their -subsequent aggression and usurpation of the powers vested in the Grand Lodge at York. The Grand Master, appointed in 1567 for the South of England, was Sir Thomas Gresham, an eminent and wealthy merchant. Preston says: "Notwithstanding this new appointment of a Grand Master for the South, the General Assembly continued to meet in the City of York as heretofore, where all the records were kept ; and to this As- sembly appeals were made on every important occasion." The brethren in Lon- don having obtained the appointment of a Grand Master in 1567, aspired to other powers. Thus we find that in the year 1603, in the reign of James I., Inigo Jones was " nominated Grand Master of England," in contradistinction to the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge at York, who bore the title of "The Grand Master of all England;" and the records of the Grand Lodge of Eng- land show that he, Inigo Jones, according with the views of the London Masons, exercised all the powers of a Grand Master, as though the York Grand Lodge did not exist, and held " Quarterly Communications of the Grand Lodge of Masters and "Wardens, and the Annual General Assembly, and Feast on St. John's Day, when he was anoually rechosen until a.d. 1618." The questions arise, where did he get his authority to hold Quarterly Communications and Annual General Assemblies? or, were the exercises of these powers usurped? In the year 1663, at a General Assembly, held December twenty-seventh, Henry Jermyn, Earl of St. Alban's, was elected Grand Master. He appointed Christopher Wren as one of his Wardens. At this Assembly six regulations were adopted : see p. 40 of this volume. All of these regulations, notwithstanding their Masonic charac- ter, were revolutionary in spirit and intent, considering the relations this body held to the Grand Lodge at York. The fifth regulation entirely ignores the ex- istence of the parent Grand Lodge, the Grand Lodge at York, and were adopted to give the appearance of law to usurped powers, and as a cover to their con- templated rebellion, which had for its aim an independent Masonic sovereignty. It is to be regretted that the Grand Lodge at York never published any of its transactions ; all our information is derived from historical memoranda, and from the publications of the present Grand Lodge of England, and writers holding membership under the latter body, consequently the data may be implicitly re- lied upon as correct in every particular. The adoption of this regulation was no doubt the incipient step toward throwing off altogether their allegiance to ENGLAND. 479 the Grand Lodge at York, which the Masons in London accomplished in 1717. The history of the Order for the preceding fifty years is very meagre. It is known that Christopher Wren commenced his Masonic career in 1660, at which time he was twenty-eight years of age. As stated above, he was appointed Senior Grand Warden in 1663, and he finally was chosen Grand Master, and was continued in office until he attained a very great age. His devotion to the interests of the fraternity is well established. It may be fairly inferred that he was not favorable to the revolutionary spirit that was manifested among the Masons in London, and in consequence of which he was displaced as chief Architect to the Crown, and a Mr. William Benson, a man of much inferior skill, appointed in his place. How much influence Dr. Anderson and other Masons in London had in this movement, may be inferred by implication. Dr. Ander- son tells us "that Sir Christopher Wren neglected the Lodges, and that this was the cause of the great falling off of the Masons." Dr. Anderson and the mem- bers of the independent Grand Lodge took every pains to give the impression that there were but few Lodges at work at that particular time — that there was a great falling off of the Masons — and that this state of things was owing to Sir Christopher Wren's neglecting to attend to his proper official duties. The motive for giving publicity to such statements will be obvious to every impartial, intel- ligent Freemason, as they are not borne out by facts. In 1695, King William was privately initiated into Freemasonry, and he approved the choice of Sir Christopher as Grand Master. At a General Assembly and feast in 1697, many persons of eminence were present, and Charles, Duke of Richmond and Lennox, was proposed and elected Grand . Master, who appointed Sir Christopher his Deputy. His Grace continued in office only one year, and was succeeded by Sir Christopher, who continued at the head of the fraternity at least until the completion of St. Paul's, in 1710. There are sufficient evidences in addition to his labors to prove that Sir Christo- pher Wren was an active man, vigorous in body and mind. It is possible that he felt keenly the insult of being displaced after having for more than fifty years faithfully executed, and with great skill and ability, every trust committed to him, for a mere pretender, and consequently did not take as lively an interest in attending the Assemblies of the Craft ; or more probably, he may have felt that a schismatic sentiment was gaining ground, which he was unwilling to fellowship with, and which he was unable to arrest or overcome. The intimation is plainly given by Dr. Anderson, Dr. Desaguliers, and other distinguished members of the Order, who formed the Grand Lodge in 1717, that the four Lodges, the old Lodge of St. Paul, held at the Goose and Gridiron ; the old Lodge, No. 2", held at the Crown, which two or three years afterward became extinct; the old Lodge, No. 3, held at the Apple-Tree Tavern, which also survived only a few years, on account of disagreements between the members ; and Lodge, No. 4, held at the Rummer and Grapes Tavern, were the only Lodges at that time in England ; but that was an erroneous impression, con- veyed for the purpose of justifying them in the formation of an independent Grand Lodge. It is a well-established fact that Freemasonry attained a very high decree of eminence in the time of Sir Christopher Wren, that the Lodges were numerous and the Craft in a flourishing condition. The truth is as stated by Sandy, p. 55, that "in the beginning of the reign of George the First, an 480 world's masonic register. unfortunate schism arose in the Society," in consequence of Sir Christopher Wren having been superseded by Mr. Wm. Benson. This schism was kept up until 1717, when the Grand Lodge was formed, and afterward. Who were the schismatics? Certainly not Sir Christopher and the Craft who adhered to him. Sandy also remarks : "About the year 1717, Dr. Desaguliers, who was Grand Master in 1719, a man of considerable scientific attainments, with other men of talent, took considerable pains in arranging and modeling that system of Freemasonry which, prior to the memorable union in 1813, was recognized in London, in opposition to what was then called Ancient Masonry, and certain peculiar toasts and ceremonies were introduced at his installation feast." * * * p. 56. " The Ancient Masons, as they were called, chiefly assembled in the country, after the schism in the time of Sir Christopher Wren." It is evident from the extracts just quoted, that the schismatics Anderson and Desaguliers, after the organization of the Grand Lodge and before, introduced innovations which the true members of the Craft would not recognize. The Grand Lodge, however, was successful in its revolution, and its origina- tors were by no means scrupulous in assuming unlawful powers — invading the jurisdiction of the mother Grand Lodge, and under the very shadow of its temple aiding and abetting rebellion. We quote from Preston : " A few brethren at York having, on some trivial occasion, seceded from their ancient Lodge, they applied to London for a warrant of constitution, and, without inquiry into the merits of the case, their application was honored. Instead of being recom- mended to the mother Lodge to be restored to favor, these brethren were en- couraged in their revolt, and permitted, under the banner of the Grand Lodge at London, to open a new Lodge in the City of York itself." A short time after the above flagrant outrage, the London Grand Lodge again invaded the jurisdiction of the York Grand Lodge. We copy again from Preston : " The Earl of Crawford, 1734, seems to have made another encroachment on the juris- diction of the Grand Lodge at York, by constituting two Lodges within their district, and by granting, without their consent) three deputations." The London Grand Lodge in 1738 published a second book of Constitutions, differing mate- rially in the organic laws of Masonry from those published in 1723. In this book of 1738, after enumerating a list of names as Provincial Grand Masters appointed for different places abroad, they say: "All these foreign Lodges are under the patronage of our Grand Master of England ; but the old Lodge at York City, and the Lodges of Scotland, Ireland, France, and Italy, affecting independencies, are under their own Grand Masters." '-Affecting independen- cies !" Consistent Grand Lodge of schismatics ! They would not bow the knee to Baal — they would not recognize a body of revolutionists, but "because they adhered to their legitimate organization, they "affected independency I" A third encroachment on the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge at York was made in 1738, by Carnarvon, Grand Master, by the appointment of a Provincial Grand Master for the West Riding of Yorkshire. This latter encroachment, Preston remarks, " so widened the breach between the brethren in the North and South of England, that thenceforward all future correspondence between the Grand Lodges totally ceased." The London Grand Lodge, on the 24th of June, 1723, adopted the following resolution, (ed. 1738, p. 175, and Masonic Library, vol. ii. p. 659 :) "That it is ENGLAND. 481 not in the power of any man, or body of men, to make any alteration or innova- tion in the body of Masonry, without the consent first being obtained of the Grand Lodge." This resolution of the Grand Lodge is either not generally known, or those who believe in the legality of the formation of the new Grand Lodge, think it best not to mention it. The resolution, however, was offered and adopted by the Grand Lodge. It would hardly be worth while asking the question, If a Grand Lodge ought to be recognized, and fellowship held with its members, that would declare that innovations in the body of Masonry could be made if the Grand Lodge consented to it ? The friends of Anderson of 1723 will please make a note of this resolution. Preston, in commenting upon the illegal invasion of the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of York, by the London Grand Lodge, says : " It is much to be regretted that any separate interests should have destroyed the social intercourse of Masons : but it is no less remarkable than true, that the brethren in the North and those in the South are now in a manner unknown to each other. Notwith- standing the pitch of eminence and splendor at which the Grand Lodge in London has arrived, neither the Lodges of Scotland nor Ireland court its corre- spondence." " This unfortunate circumstance has been attributed to the introduction of a few modern innovations among the Lodges in the South." It is a well-estab- lished fact that the Lodges in London did make some innovations about this time, and hence the term " modern," which was applied to them, and rightfully, by the true body of Masons. Our limits will not justify us in pursuing our investigations. It is certain that the origin of the Grand Lodge formed in 1717 has been greatly misunder- stood. The acts of aggression upon the rights of the parent Grand Lodge, commenced nearly two centuries before, resulted in throwing off their allegiance altogether, and forming an independent Grand Lodge. The City of London had grown to a vast metropolis. The Craft were unwilling to be subordinate to a body located in a small city in the interior of the country. Besides, old Craft Masonry did not suit their progressive notions. At the Assembly and Feast, June 24th, 1718, it was desired of the brethren " to bring to the Grand Lodge any old writings and records concerning Masons and Masonry, in order to show the usages in ancient times ; and this year several old copies of the Gothic Con- stitutions were produced and collated." On the 29th of September, 1721, the Grand Master and the Lodge, "finding fault with all the copies of the old Gothic Constitutions, ordered Brother James Anderson, A. M., to digest the same in a new and better method." On the 27th of December, 1721, " fourteen learned brothers were appointed to examine Brother Anderson's manuscript, and to make report." At the Grand Lodge, 25th of March, 1722, " the said committee of fourteen reported that they had perused Brother Anderson's manuscript, viz. : " The History, Charges, Eegulations, and Master's Song, and, after some amendments, had approved of it." This book of constitutions, after being amended, altered, changed, etc., in committees and by the Grand Lodge, was approved on the 17th of January, 1723 ; and from the above history and extracts, an opinion may be formed as to the truthfulness of the document, and agreement of the so-called Anderson's Constitutions with the ancient Gothic Constitution, containing the true and ancient laws and usages of the fraternity. 482 world's masonic register. As the York Grand Lodge did not take any public notice of the schismatics, and as the latter body gave public notoriety to all of its transactions, it was successful in establishing and multiplying Lodges. There were at the time of the organization of the Grand Lodge, in 1717, many Lodges holding under the York Constitutions in London, and throughout England, which had to succumb to the popularity of the new Grand Lodge. The Grand Lodges of Scotland and Ireland refused, in common with the York Grand Lodge, to fellowship with or countenance the new Grand Lodge, which had not only innovated upon the Landmarks of Freemasonry, but altered and changed the ancient laws and charges.- In 1738, James Anderson, by direction of the Grand Lodge, pre- pared a new book of Constitutions, in which the " Ancient Charges" differ very materially from the ancient charges published in the 1723 edition. These latter charges are generally accredited to Laurence Dermott, who, in 1756, eighteen years later, published an Ahimau Rezon, in which he copied the 1738 ancient charges of Anderson verbatim. If we were to express an opinion why Ander- son, in 1738, published a code of charges different in constitutional and Masonic principles from those published in 1723, we would say that as at that time (1738) the York Grand Lodge began to show an outward opposition to the new estab- lishment, and, as it had right on its side, public opinion was with it, the new Grand Lodge was in a manner impelled to declare a code of charges more in consonance with ancient established usages, and which accorded with those practiced by the York Grand Lodge. This history might be extended through some volumes from published data of the last century, and particularly from the records of the new Grand Lodge, showing more clearly than we have, in the limited space at our command, the illegality of the Grand Lodge formed in 1717, its previous aggressions and its continued and subsequent innovations upon the body of Masonry, which it claimed the right to make by its resolution of June 24th, 1723 ; but as the history of the formation of the Grand Lodge of England in 1717 has not yet been written, and as the Ancient Grand Lodge at York from 1717 has been almost totally ignored by all Masonic writers, we leave the task to the future historian, satisfied with having thrown out some hints, not hereto- fore noticed, for his guidance.

M. and K. T. The temple on Mount Moriah was begun in the fourth year of the reign of King Solomon, which was a.m. 2992. In the year a.m. 3029, Solomon died, and Behoboam was crowned King of Israel. The tribes of Israel, however, were divided, because of the refusal of Behoboam to redress some grievances, and ten of the tribes united under the banner of Jeroboam, and elected him their King, under the title of King of Israel. The tribes of Judah and Benjamin, however, remained loyal to Behoboam, and he was thenceforward called King of Judah. The tribes were thus divided, and remained under two distinct governments, two hundred and fifty-four years, when the ten tribes fell a prey to Salmanezer, King of Assyria, who utterly destroyed their government. The subsequent history of the ten tribes of Israel is involved in mystery. The two tribes, under the Kings of Judah, dwelt in the cities of Judah and Benjamin. In a.m. 3033, the fifth year of the reign of Behoboam, Shishak, King of Egypt, pillaged the temple at Jerusalem, and carried off the holy vessels. In a.m. 3063, Asa brought into the temple the golden vessels which he and his father had prepared and dedicated. In a.m. 3380, Josiah orders the temple to be repaired, and finds a copy of the book of the law. IRELAND.

History furnishes us with a very imperfect state of Freemasonry in France ; however, we are pretty well assured that the art flourished there as early as a.d. 126. Many of the brethren came from England about the year 254, and many more followed in the year 680. Under the ancient Gallic and Norman princes, Masonry received very extraordinary marks of indulgence; there is no doubt but that the skill of Masons, which was always great even in the most barbarous times, their wonderful kindness and attachment to each other, how different soever in condition, and their fidelity in religiously keeping their secrets, must expose them, in ignorant, troublesome, and superstitious times, to a vast variety of adventures, according to the different fate of parties, and other alterations of government. It is, however, to be remarked that Masons in all countries have always been loyal, which frequently exposed them to great severities, especially in the dark ages, when power wore the trappings of justice, and those who com- mitted treason punished good men as traitors. In the year 1737, France followed the example of Holland in disturbing the repose of the society ; though many of the nobility had defended the Masonic Lodges, and interested the court in their behalf, yet they were decreed to the same fate as the united provinces of Holland, by reason that under the pretense of the inviolable secrets of the Order, they might cover some dangerous design, which might in the end be not only to the disadvantage of religion, but even of the king's peace. But those days are gone by; at this time, especially in coun- tries where freedom of conscience as regards religion is tolerated, there are none so scrupulous in regard to Masonry as they were formerly. The first public Masonic edifice built in France was in Marseilles, entitled " The Lodge of St. John ;" it was fifty-eight feet long, thirty broad, and forty- two feet high. It was decorated with paintings of the best artists. At the bottom of the hall, under a gilded canopy with blue hangings and trimmed with gold, is a painting representing the Genius of Masonry, supporting the portrait of the then King of France, with an inscription in Latin the translation of which is, " The Masons at Marseilles have erected this monument of their affec- tion to their most beloved king." A genius seated below the pedestal presents with one hand this inscription, and with the other the arms of the Lodge, with their motto, Deo Regi, et Patrice, Fidelitas, that is, Fidelity to God, our king, and country. Above this is a genius which crowns the king. To the right of this is another splendid painting, representing the wisdom of Solomon, with this inscription above it, Prudencia, i.e. Prudence. To the left is another, representing the courage of St. John the Baptist in remonstrating with Herod upon his debaucheries, with this inscription, Forti- tudo, i.e. Fortitude. 510 - world's masonic register. The right side of the hall is ornamented with paintings of equal grandeur ; the first represents Joseph acknowledging his brethren, and pardoning them for the ill usage he had received from them, with this inscription, Venia, i.e. Pardon. The second represents Job upon the dung-hill, his house destroyed, his fields laid waste by storm, his wife insulting him, and himself calm, lifting his hands toward heaven, with this inscription, Patimtia, i.e. Patience. The third represents St. Paul and St. Barnabas refusing divine honors at Lys- tra, with this inscription, Humilitas, i.e. Humility. The fourth, Jonathan when he warned David to keep from the city, in order to avoid the danger which threatened his days, with this inscription, Amicitia, i.e. Friendship. The fifth, Solomon surveying the works of the Temple, and giving his orders for the execution of the plan which his father, David, had left him of it, with this inscription, Pietas, i.e. Piety. The sixth, St. Peter and the other Apostles paying tribute to Caesar, by means of the piece of money found miraculously in the belly of a fish, with this inscription, Fidelitas, i.e. Fidelity. The seventh, the charity of the good Samaritan, with this inscription, Chari- tas, i.e. Charity. The left side of the hall contains three paintings ; the first, Tobias curing his father, with these words for the inscription, Filiale Debitum, i.e. Filial Debt. The second, the father of the Prodigal Son, when he embraces him and par- dons his offenses, with this inscription, Obedientia, i.e. Obedience. On each side of the door are two paintings of equal grandeur ; one represent- ing the Apostles giving alms in common ; the inscription is, Eleemosyna, i.e. Almsgiving. The other represents Lot receiving the angels in his house, believing them to be strangers ; the inscription is, Hospitalitas, i.e. Hospitality. The four corners of the hall are decorated with four allegorical paintings ; in one is represented two geniuses holding a large medal, on which is painted three pillars of a gold color, with a motto in Latin, which, translated, reads thus, " Here Virtue, "Wisdom, and Beauty fixed their seat." In another, two geniuses holding a large medal, on which is represented three hearts set on fire by the same flame, united by the bond of the Order, with this motto, also in Latin, " Love joins their hearts, and Piety the tie." The others are in the same taste, but supported by one genius only, of a smaller size. The medals represent as follows : The first, three branches, one of olive, another of laurel, and another of myrtle, with this motto, "Here peace we give, and here by turns receive." The other, a level in a hand coming from a cloud, placed perpendicularly upon a heap of stones of unequal forms and sizes, with this motto, " One equal law, of high and low the lot." All these paintings are of the most exquisite order. The building was fin- ished in the year 1765, having the following inscription over the inner door : — " The Grand Master and Deputy, and the whole body of Freemasons at Mar- seilles, have erected these different examples of the virtues and monuments of the fraternal liberality, proposed to the imitation of their brethren, and to the honor of the Supreme Architect of the universe, in the year of the light, 5765." HISTORY OF FREEMASONRY IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. 511 Most all the Lodges of France consist of a great number of members, among whom are many nobles of the land, and generally have their kings and princes presiding over their deliberations. The greater number of Masons are gentle- men of the highest order of talent, and officers under the government, who do honor to their several Masonic stations. GERMANY. The first knowledge of any regular Masonic Lodge having been instituted in Germany was in 1738, although Masonry existed at a very early date in that country. It was located at Brunswick, under the auspices of the Grand Lodge of Scotland, and on the fifteenth of August, in the same year, the then King of Prussia was initiated, who soon after ordered a new Lodge to be opened in Ber- lin. Masonry then began to flourish, and many other Lodges were instituted in the Prussian dominions under the royal auspices. In the year 1740, the King expressed that it would give him great pleasure to have another Lodge opened in Berlin, in consequence of which Baron Bielfield and the privy counselor Jor- dan took that charge upon them, and formed a Lodge under the denomination of the Three Globes. Their Constitution bore date in the month of June, 1740, and in the following month Prince William, the Margrave Charles, and the Duke of Holstein Beck were initiated in the new Lodge, and in a very few years afterward there were at least fifty new Lodges, who acknowledged this Lodge as the .Superior Grand Lodge of Germany. When the Baron Bielfield left the King of Prussia's dominions, who had acted as the Grand Master, Margrave Charles was elected in his place, and on his demise Frederick Augustus, Prince of Brunswick, presided over the Craft. In the year 1775, the Grand Lodge of Berlin sent a Deputy to the Grand Assembly, which was held at Brunswick, who admitted a certain approved system planned by nine princes of the empire, agreeably to which all the German Lodges were requested to work ; forty-one only entered into the Association, who chose Frederick Augustus for their Grand Master. On this occasion a splendid gold medal was struck, and presented by the forty-one reunited Lodges to their new Grand Master ; on one side of which was represented the bust of the Prince, with this inscription round it, Ferdinand Dux Bruns. et Luneb.; on the other side, a lion sleeping under the eye of Provi- dence, under which are these words, Vide, Vici, Quiesco, and under these the following : Ob. Felic, Reunion. Murar. Ldberor German. The Society, however, was not free from persecutions in Germany, occasioned by the great jealousy of some ladies belonging to the Court, who, having en- deavored by various artful and crafty designs to get some of their agents into many of the Lodges, though without the desired effect, attempted to inflame the mind of Maria Theresa, the Empress Queen, against the Society, and carried it so far with that Princess as to get an order for surprising them all in their Lodges, to revenge in as open a manner as possible some affronts they imag- ined had been given them by the fraternity. But the success of their undertak- 512 world's masonic register. ing did not, by any means, answer the intentions of their diligence and industry, for no less a personage than the late Emperor Joseph the First, the most emi- nent Mason in Europe, instantly put a stop to all their proceedings by declaring himself ready to answer for their conduct, and to redress any plea that could be alleged against them ; but that the ladies and their abettors must find some better foundation for complaint, before he should enter into the merits of the case, as what had thus far appeared was only falsehood and misrepresentation. This event might probably be the reason that no more Lodges appear to have been established in Prussia, under the English Constitution, previous to the year 1767, when a patent was obtained from the Duke of Beaufort to constitute a Lodge at Berlin under the name of Le Eoyale York, which name was adopted in honor of the late Duke of York, who was there initiated into Masonry during his travels. In 1769, a Lodge was constituted at Brunswick, by virtue of a patent from England, which may properly be called the chief Lodge in that part of Ger- many. The work in Masonry is here conducted alternately in the German and French languages. This Lodge was afterward constituted a Grand Lodge in 1770, on which occasion a very numerous and splendid company of Masons attended. The annual contributions of this Lodge for charitable purposes are on the most extensive scale. Prince Ferdinand of Brunswick generously consented, at that time, to be the patron of the Lodge, and also accepted the office of Master, and about that time he received a dispensation from England, empowering him to preside as Provincial Grand Master over all the Lodges in Lower Saxony. Under this appointment a Deputy Grand Master was appointed to superintend the govern- ment of the Lodges. "We have a German book of Masonry before us, printed by Masonic au- thority in 1777, which calls the King of Prussia Protector of all Masons in Germany ; Ferdinand, Duke of Brunswick and Lunenburg, Elected Grand Master of all the United Lodges in Germany; Duke Charles, the reigning Duke of Bruns- wick, Protector; Frederick Augustus, Prince of Brunswick and Lunenburg, Provincial Grand Master of all United Lodges in the Prussian dominions ; Prince Maximilian Julius Leopold, of Brunswick and Lunenburg, Deputy Pro- vincial Grand Master ; Charles, the Landgrave of Hesse Oassel, Provincial Grand Master in Denmark, and Protector of the United Lodges in Hamburg ; Absalom, St. George, and Emanuel, and Charles Christian Joseph, Duke of Courland, Protector of Masons in Courland, etc. etc. Since the principal sovereign Princes, and most all the nobility and persons of eminence and distinction in Germany have long stood forth, and at this mo- ment are protectors and patrons of the Society of Freemasons, it is not surpris- ing that the Order flourished in a particular manner throughout that extensive empire. The harmony of the brotherhood has, notwithstanding, been greatly disturbed a second, time by the introduction of principles quite new in Masonry. The propagators of these novelties first appeared at the conclusion of the war in Germany, and most of them being necessitous persons, they in a manner sub- sisted upon the spoils of their deluded adherents. They pretended to a superior knowledge in the science of Masonry, and took upon themselves the appellation of the Reform of the North, under which name they assembled for some time ; HISTORY OP FREEMASONRY IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. 513 but at last their principles were inquired into by the true brotherhood, and found to be inconsistent with true and good Masonry ; at last it fell to the ground, and is now no more. In 1768 the Freemasons in Germany obtained a charter, empowering them, legally, to convene their Lodges, and to transact the business of their Society, from the King of Prussia, who accepted the office of Grand Master, the Elector of Saxony, and the Queen of Hungary and Bohemia. This charter was after- ward ratified and confirmed by the greatest Mason in Europe, the Emperor of Austria. These crowned heads had long experienced the great utility of the Order in relieving the poor and needy in their several dominions, in erecting schools and seminaries for orphans or deserted children, and in establishing funds for those parents whose narrow circumstances would not permit them to provide for their offspring or give them such an education as was necessary to render them fit and useful members of society. Immediately after this charter was obtained, Masonry assumed a new form in Germany. The greatest part of the Lodges annihilated all their foreign Con- stitutions, and erected a new Grand Lodge at Berlin, where a fresh code of laws and regulations were formed. This Grand Lodge assumed the name of Mother Lodge, and granted many Warrants, under the general title of Strict Observ- ance. Several Lodges were constituted in different Provinces. By these laws it was enacted that no person should be made a Mason unless his character was unimpeachable, and his manner of living, or his profession, respectable ; that he should pay twenty-five rix dollars (about $20) for his initiation in the first de- gree, double that sum on his being received in the second, and that again doubled on his being made a Master Mason; that he should remain at least three months in every degree, and that two-thirds of the sums so received should be sent quar- terly to the Provincial Lodges, and from thence annually to the Grand Lodge ; the remaining third should be appropriated for the expenses of the particular Lodges, and the accumulation of the two-thirds of the fees of every candidate for a fund to be employed in granting pensions to superannuated Freemasons according to their several circumstances. It is greatly to be wished that such a mode of proceeding was adopted everywhere, and then Masonry would be on a more respectable footing. The honor of admission, and the privileges of the Order are too low, and every one can be admitted who will pay the stipulated fee. These innovations induced the Grand Lodge of England, in 1793, to form a compact with the Prince of Hesse Darmstadt, the then Grand Master of the Grand Lodge at Berlin, under the title of the Grand Lodge of Germany. The following is a copy of the compact : — "To all, frc: " Know ye, That whereas the Supreme Grand Lodge of the most ancient and honorable society of free and accepted Masons, situate at London, of which the most noble and right honorable Eobert Edward Petre, Lord Petre, Baron of Writtle, in the County of Essex, is at present Grand Master, has received au- thentic testimony of the great merit of many respectable brethren in the Empire of Germany, who, some years ago, (after making the necessary progress in the ancient science,) for the well governing and better carrying on the business of the society in those parts, convened together the Masters and Wardens of twelve 514 world's masonic register.

And-whereas, his Serene Highness George Charles, Prince of Hesse Darmstadt, the present Grand Master, and others the Grand Officers of the said Grand Lodge at Berlin, have, through the fraternal assistance of Brother Charles Hanbury of Hamburgh, requested of the Grand Lodge at London » confirmation of their title as Grand Lodge of the Empire of Germany, under such restrictions and regulations as may be agreed upon by both parties, which request the Grand Lodge hath, of its very high respect for his said Serene High- ness the Prince of Hesse Darmstadt, and others the Grand Officers at Berlin, and in order as far as may be to promote the honor and universality of the Ma- sonic Order, agreed to comply upon the restrictions and upon the conditions hereinafter mentioned, viz. : — " 1st. The Supreme Grand Lodge at London doth hereby confirm the power and authority already by them committed to his Serene Highness the Prince of Brunswick and Lunenburg, and the territories thereto belonging, within which district the Grand Lodge at Berlin is not to have or exercise any Masonic authority. " 2d. The Grand Lodge at London doth confirm and reserve in like manner the power and authority committed to John Peter Gogel, Esq., as provincial Grand Master for Franconia, and the upper and lower Bhine, and doth give to the said John Peter Gogel full power also to act under the authority of the Grand Lodge of Berlin, should he at any time be desirous of so doing. " 3d.

" 6th. The Grand Lodge at London doth, therefore, hereby acknowledge the Grand Lodge at Berlin to be the Grand Lodge of the whole Empire of Germany, including his Prussian Majesty's dominions; and doth hereby promise and agree not to constitute any new Lodges or grant any other Masonic power from the HISTORY OF FREEMASONRY IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. 515 date hereof, within the Empire of Germany, except only within those districts reserved as aforesaid, during the authority of the present provincial Grand Masters thereof; but said districts, at the expiration of the present patents, or by decease of the present holders, are then to come under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge at Berlin.

HOLLAND. Freemasonry is, without doubt, of very ancient standing in the Netherlands, as lying so commodiously near both France and Germany ; but we can only inform our readers that the Koyal Art was very flourishing in the year 1735, when the States General were the first among the powers of Europe who took notice of the Freemasons. Finding that they held their Lodges in almost every great town under their government, they began to be exceedingly alarmed. It was judged impossible that architecture could be the only motive of these associa- tions ; they, therefore, were determined to discover, if possible, the real inten- tions of their meeting. In 1731 a Lodge was opened at the Hague, under the warrant of the Grand Lodge of England ; it was, however, only a Lodge of emer- gency, having been called to initiate the Duke of Tuscany, afterward Francis I., Emperor of Germany. After the ceremony had been performed by the Earl of Chesterfield, the Lodge was closed. The first regular Lodge of which we have 516 world's masonic register. any record, was established at the same place in 1734, which, five years after, took the name of the Mother Lodge. In 1735 a Lodge was opened in Amster- dam, and on the 18th of December, 1757, a National Grand Lodge was estab- lished. In 1735 the authorities of the Netherlands issued an edict, intimating that although they had not discovered anything in the behavior or practices of the fraternity called Freemasons contrary to the peace of the republic, or to the duty of good subjects, they were, nevertheless, resolved to prevent any bad con- sequences that might ensue from such conventions, and therefore commanded that these congregations and assemblies should be entirely abolished ! Notwith- standing this ordinance, a Lodge, composed of several very respectable gentlemen, continued to meet at a private house in Amsterdam. The magistrates, getting intelligence of it, ordered the whole Lodge to be arrested. The day following the magistrates assembled at the State House, and ordered the Master and Wardens of the Lodge to be brought before them, who solemnly declared, upon oath, that Freemasons were the most peaceable subjects, faithful to their prince, and true to their country ; that the greatest union prevailed among them ; that they were strangers to hypocrisy and deceit; that pleasure was reciprocally communicated in their several assemblies by the cheerful observance of every obliging office, and that the institution was truly venerable. They informed the magistrates that they could not explain their particular secrets and ceremonies, but that they could assure them they were neither contrary to moral or divine law. That they would willingly receive any of their number among them, and would, no doubt, be ready and willing to satisfy them more particularly in regard to what they had explained. Upon this the brethren were discharged, and the Town Secretary was appointed to attend the Lodge. He was accordingly ini- tiated, and on his return to the State House gave such a satisfactory account in favor of the society, that in a very short time afterward the whole body of the magistracy became Free and Accepted Masons, and continue to be so to this day, having a Lodge solely of their own order. In 1738 another Lodge was instituted at the Hague, in which "William VI., Prince of Orange, was initiated. In 1740, Masonry was again most furiously attacked by the whole body of the clergy, who resolved, at all events, to sup- press the society ; but their endeavors proved abortive. The following anecdote will show to what a pitch they carried their malice : Two young officers, of very good families, who were Masons, applied to the minister of the parish in which they resided to examine them in certain points of religion, agreeable to the cus- tom of the country, and then to grant them a certificate to entitle them to receive the holy sacrament. After the examination had ended, and the priest satisfied in regard to their capacity, he asked them if they were Freemasons? Being an- swered in the affirmative, he refused to grant them their certificates, which, in that country, is an expulsion from the communion. This transaction raised an uproar in Holland, and numbers of pamphlets were published for and against Masonry. At last the Grand Assembly of the States General took it into their consideration, and ordered that for the future no clergyman should ask either that or any other question regarding Freemasonry, in the execution of his eccle- siastical duty, and ordered the priest, before whom the two officers had been examined, immediately to grant them their certificates. HISTORY OP FREEMASONRY IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. 51 T This proved a favorable introduction to the progress of Masonry in Holland, so that in a few years a number of Lodges were constituted throughout the seven United Provinces, some under the patronage of England, but many more under that of Scotland. However, in 1779, the Grand Lodge of Holland, held at the Hague, entered into a compact with the Grand Lodge of England, by virtue of which the Grand Lodge of Holland granted Constitutions in their own dominions, both at home and abroad, and have Provincial Grand Masters in each Province, as also in India, Cape of Good Hope, St. Eustasia, Saba, St. Martin, and Surinam, etc. It may be justly remarked of the German, Dutch, and French Lodges, that many of them far surpass in elegance and splendor the greatest part of the Lodges under the English Constitutions. On their public festivals no expense is spared to support the honors of Masonry. Their halls are furnished in the most superb taste, and are hung round with the richest tapestry. The places set apart for the reception of Masons are covered with crimson velvet, and the throne on which the Master is seated is enriched with embroidery and gold; and on the reception of a Fellow Craft to the degree of a Master Mason, the Lodges are hung round with black velvet ! In short, it is difficult to conceive the mag- nificence of their decorations. The dress of the members is suitable to the grandeur of the Lodge, and their polite behavior would not disgrace the first court in Europe. On these occasions Masonry is illustrated in pathetic orations, delivered by men of genius and learning ; and this, added to the harmony of some pieces of music, executed by several different bands of the best perform- ers, strike the audience with awe and reverence, and impress the mind with a just idea of the dignity of Masonry. DENMARK AND SWEDEN. Though Masonry was not introduced into these Northern Kingdoms so early as into those already described, yet the Royal Art has flourished, and the Lodges are at present numerous in the Cities of Copenhagen and Stockholm. The first Lodge in Copenhagen was instituted by a patent from the Grand Lodge of Scot- land in the year 1743, and is now the Grand Lodge of that kingdom. The society meet in a superb hall, richly ornamented, built for the purpose in 1761. There are also many Lodges in the Danish West India possessions, under the Constitution of the Grand Lodge of Copenhagen. The first Lodge in Stockholm was likewise instituted by a patent from Scot- land in the year 1754, and is at present the Grand Lodge of that kingdom, and from which many new Lodges have been constituted. The business of the fraternity is therefore regularly and amicably conducted in both kingdoms. Masonry is conducted in these Northern regions in the same elegant manner it is in Germany, where none but men of merit can be admitted. This is the rea- son that they have so few poor brethren, consequently they are better enabled to relieve the wants of all strangers who apply, in a very ample manner. The fra- 518 world's masonic register. ternity is recognized by the State, and the reigning kings have always been the Grand Masters. Danish gentlemen of veracity and deep research assure us that the ancient in- scriptions upon rocks, as mentioned by antiquarians and historians, are Masonic hieroglyphics, generally thought to be the old and original manner of writing, before the use of paper of any kind, and waxen tables were found. These char- acters are Runic, and so imperfectly understood by the learned themselves, that their meaning is very uncertain, but they are imagined to be historical. Should they ever prove to be Masonic hieroglyphics, as it is imagined, and very highly probable, Masonry must bear a much earlier date in Scandinavia than is men- tioned aboye, although until now no earlier record can be found. RUSSIA. Of the Order in Russia, at the present time, very little is known, as the late autocrat was opposed to secret societies ; but it will afford our readers a pleas- ure to know that in former years the benign influence of our noble institution flourished in that country, which is of immense extent, being greater than all the rest of Europe, or even the Roman Empire in the zenith of its power, or even the Empire of Darius subdued by Alexander, or both put together. But Freemasonry has always kept pace with the cultivation of the arts, sciences, and civilization. The first regular Lodge ever formed in this extensive empire was as early as the year 1739, in the reign of Lord Raymond ; and a second, called The Lodge of Perfect Union, in St. Petersburg, constituted in June, 1791. The Master and most of the members of this Lodge were English merchants, resident there, who supported this new establishment with zeal. As many of the Russian nobility and also of the gentry were Freemasons at the time of the establishment of the above Lodge, some of them, in the year 1772, applied for and obtained a patent from the Grand Lodge of England, ap- pointing his Excellency John Yelaguire, Senator, Privy Councellor, member of the Cabinet of Her Imperial Majesty the Empress of Russia, the Provincial Grand Master for the Empire of Russia ; and such were the zealous attentions of that nobleman, that several Charters were granted for Lodges established at St. Petersburg, Moscow, Rega, Yassy. and various parts of Courland, which is subject to Russia. The first nobility in the Empire not only countenanced the Royal Art, but acted as officers of the Grand and Subordinate Lodges; and the Provincial Grand Lodge of Russia, at that time, in imitation of the Grand Lodge of England, erected a splendid hall for the purpose of holding their assemblies. But very little is known at the present time of the state of the Order ; under the rule of the autocrat no such institution was publicly permitted, although there is no doubt that there were many Lodges held in secret. HISTORY OF FREEMASONRY IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. 519 SPAIN, PORTUGAL, AND ITALY. The first, and, we believe, the only Lodge ever firmly established in Spain, was by a deputation sent to Madrid to constitute a Lodge in that city, under the auspices of Lord Ooleraine, a.d. 1727, which continued under English jurisdic- tion till the year 1776, when it refused that subordination which it owed to the Grand Lodge of England, but continued to meet under its own authority. As early, however, as the year 1726, a Lodge was formed in Gibraltar, an English garrison, and in the following year another was established in the Prov- ince of Andalusia. The persecution of the priests and the rules of the .Catholic Church were always obstacles to the successful propagation of Masonry in this kingdom. Lodges, nevertheless, exist and work in various parts of Spain, but their places of meeting are known to none but Masons. Several Lodges existed in Lisbon, by Constitutions from France, as early as the year 1727 ; but, in 1742, the Inquisition of that country imprisoned Brother Alexander James Monton, a French artist, and John Coustos, u, native of Bern, in Switzerland, for being Freemasons. The father of the latter came into Eng- land in 1716, and was naturalized. The crimes brought against them by that horrid tribunal were : That they had infringed the pope's orders by their belong- ing to the Society of Freemasons, which society was a horrid compound of sac- rilege, sodomy, and many other abominable crimes, of which the inviolable secrecy observed therein, and the exclusion of ladies, were but too manifest in- dications ; a circumstance which gave the highest offense to the whole king- dom; and the said Monton and Coustos having refused to discover to the Inqui- sition the true tendency and design of the Masonic meetings, and persisting, on the contrary, in asserting that Freemasonry was good in itself, wherefore the Proc- tor of the Inquisition required that the said prisoners should be prosecuted with the utmost rigor, and for that purpose desired that the court would exert its whole authority, and even proceed to tortures, to extort from them a confession, viz., that the several articles of which they stand accused are true. Brother Coustos underwent the several tortures three times, and, on his confessing nothing, was sentenced to walk in the procession of the auto-de-f6, and to be a galley-slave for four years ; when His Majesty George II., ever attentive to the felicity of his subjects, through the kind offices of the Duke of New Castle, despatched commands to Mr. Compton, the British Minister at Lisbon, to de- mand his liberty of the King of Portugal, in his Britannic majesty's name, which was accordingly obtained in October, 1744, after a dismal confinement of two years and eight months. But what became of Brother Monton has remained a secret till this very day. These proceedings caused universal terror among the brethren, which obliged them to assemble alternately at the private houses of chosen friends, instead of taverns, where they were liable to be detected. In the year 1776, Major FranQois D'Allincourt, a French gentleman, and Don Ayres de Ornellus Pracao, a Portuguese nobleman, were sent to prison by the Governor of the Island of Madeira, for being Freemasons. They were afterward 520 world's masonic register. sent prisoners to Lisbon, and confined in a common jail for fourteen months, where they would absolutely have perished, had not the brethren in Lisbon gen- erously supported them, and by whose intercession with Don Martinio de Mello they were at last released. There are several Lodges in that kingdom : a very respectable one in Lisbon, one at Oporto, and a third at Zetubal. One, how- ever, of the influences of the French invasion was the dissemination of Freema- sonry among the Portuguese ; and there are now, or have been lately, not fewer than four Grand Lodges existing in that kingdom. In the year 1738, the Court of Eome, instigated by the impositions of evil- minded persons, poured out its bulls* and decrees against the Society of Free- masons, whereby they were condemned in a more severe and tyrannical manner (the peculiar character of the Inquisition) than they had ever yet undergone in any nation, and that without the least foundation for such proceedings — his holiness the pope being utterly ignorant of what was so zealously to be interdicted. To give the reader an idea how our brethren were persecuted, (and notwith- standing the accusations and clamor of the Roman Catholic clergy, our brethren remained faithful to the society, and even to this day there are many Lodges throughout Italy, who perform their Masonic duties in alleviating the distresses of their brethren and doing good unto all,) we here insert the pope's bull against Freemasonry : — "It has come to our knowledge, even from public report, that certain socie- ties, companies, meetings, assemblies, clubs, or conventicles, commonly called Be Liberi Muratori, (Freemasons,) or by whatsoever name the same in different languages are distinguished, spread far and wide, and are every day increasing; in which persons, of whatever religion or sect, contented with a kind of affected show of natural honesty, confederate together in a close and inscrutable bond, according to laws and orders agreed upon between them ; which likewise, with private ceremonies, they enjoin and bind themselves, as well by a strict oath taken on the Bible, as by the imprecation of heavy punishments, to preserve with invio- lable secrecy. ., "We, therefore, resolving in our mind the great mischiefs which generally accrue from these kind of societies or conventicles, not only to the temporal tran- quillity of the State, but to the spiritual health of souls ; and that, therefore, they are neither consistent with civil or canonical sactions, since we are taught by the Divine Word to watch, like a faithful servant, night and day, lest this sort of men break as thieves into the houses, and like foxes endeavor to root up the vineyards; lest they should pervert the hearts of the simple, and privately shoot at the innocent; that we might stop up the broad way which from thence would be laid open for the perpetration of their wickedness with impunity; and for other just and reasonable causes to us known, have, by the advice of some of our venerable brethren of the Roman Church, the cardinals, and of our own mere motion, and from our own certain knowledge and mature deliberations, by the plenitude of the apostolical power, appointed and decreed to be condemned and prohibited, and by this our present ever valid constitution, we do condemn and prohibit the said societies, companies, meetings, assemblies, clubs, or conven- * Bulls are letters published by the pope, having the same power as an edict or law in other countries.

" Wherefore all and singular the faithful in Christ, of whatever state, degree, condition, order, dignity, and pre-eminence, whether laity or clergy, as well sec- ulars as regulars, worthy all of express mention and enumeration, we strictly, and in virtue of holy obedience, command that no one, under any pretext or color, dare or presume the aforesaid societies, Be Liberi Muratori, (Freema- sons,) or by whatever other name or manner distinguished, to enter into, pro- mote, favor, admit, or conceal in his or their houses, or elsewhere, or be admitted members of, or be present with the same, or in anywise aiding and assisting toward their meeting in any place, or to administer anything to them, or in any means publicly or privately, directly or indirectly, by themselves or others, afford them counsel, help, or favor; or advise, induce, provoke, or per- suade others to be admitted into, joined, or be present with these kind of socie- ties, or in any manner aid or promote them ; but that they ought by all means to abstain from the said societies, under the penalty of all that act contrary thereto incurring excommunication ipso facto, without any other declaration, from which no one can obtain the benefit of absolution from any other but us, or the Roman Pontiff for the time being, except at the point of death, etc. etc. " Dated from Rome, at St. Mary's the Greater, in the year of the incarnation of our Lord, 1738, the fourth year of the Calends of May, (twenty-eighth of April, N.

Another edict, bearing date the 14th day of January, 1739, and of the same stamp with the above bull, adding a fine of 1000 crowns in gold, besides other grievous punishments, the galleys not to be excepted, to be inflicted at pleasure, on being made, or on having any manner of connection with the Freemasons, etc. The decree bore date February 18th, 1739, condemning a certain book written in French, small in its size, but most wicked in regard to its bad subject, entitled " The History of, and an Apology for the Society of Freemasons," printed at Dublin, in 1739. This book was ordered to be burned publicly by the ministers of Justice, in the street of St. Mary's Supra Minervam, on the 25th of February, 1739. In 1777, several Freemasons were imprisoned at Naples, but afterward released through the intercession of several foreign princes, and the justice of their cause was exemplified by an Italian advocate. Notwithstanding these abominable infractions upon human liberty, and being thus oppressed in the ecclesiastical State, the fraternity found, and still find, a safe retreat in many parts of Italy, who being better enlightened than those of Rome, did not by any means oppose the spreading and propagauding an art founded on the most exalted maxims of sound morality, and which could not but tend to the greatest advantage in every part of the globe. We find a record of a Lodge having existed in Florence in 1733, established by Lord Charles Sackville, the son of the Duke of Dorset; and even at this period, most of the Italian nobility, and some ecclesiastics, notwithstanding the popish interdictions, are Freemasons, and ardent admirers of the art, practicing 522 world's masonic register. its charity and virtues ; they are proverbial for their liberality to the poor and needy, of whatever country or clime, and many Lodges are in existence in Naples, Leghorn, Venice, Verona, Turin, Messina, Sicily, Genoa, and Modena, but their meetings are kept in secret places ; this, with the interdiction of the papal government and secular authorities, prevents us from giving our readers any of their proceedings. SWITZERLAND, HUNGARY, POLAND, AND BOHEMIA. As early as 1737, a Provincial Grand Lodge of the fraternity was established at Geneva, under the authority of the Grand Lodge of England, on a patent to Sir George Hamilton, and a few years afterward a warrant was granted for a Lodge to be situated in Lausanne. The fraternity continued to enjoy peace and tranquillity in Switzerland until 1745, when a cloud arose that threatened a heavy storm, nor was it less than to root out and extirpate the hitherto unshaken and immovable foundations of Masonry, and at once to overthrow the superb struc- ture that had been erected for many ages. None can be ignorant that, after the example of most parts of Europe, the Swiss Cantons received the Freemasons among them, and afforded them the most civil treatment equal to their merit. The eagerness with which all ranks of people applied themselves to what might aggrandize that illustrious body, has served as a pattern for all other nations in Europe who value themselves for the brightness of their understanding or love for the liberal arts. What fatal destiny, what fanatical fury, could transport the magistrates of Berne to become the enemies of Masonry ; the enemies of a Society who never had done them wrong, or been impeached of one unworthy deed ? Was it then that innocence, capable everywhere of curbing the most fierce and malignant dispositions, could make no impression upon the callous hearts of these sage republicans ? No ! The cruel prejudices with which they armed themselves against the noble craft had caused them to publish an ordinance for their abolition, containing assertions as unjust as ill-founded against the peace- able Society of Freemasons, who, as they asserted, had slyly and artfully crept into that country. To show to our readers how our brethren were persecuted in those days, we give a copy of the famous edict issued by the authorities of Berne against the fraternity. " We, the advoyer, the little and great Council of the City and Eepublic of Berne, make known to all men by these presents, having learnt that a certain Society called Freemasons, spreads itself, every day more and more, into all the cities and towns under our government, and that the persons who have joined the said Society are received under various solemn engagements, and even by oath ; wherefore, having seriously reflected upon the consequences thereof, and considered that such meetings and associations are directly contrary to the fun- damental laws and constitutions of our country, and in particular to the protec- tion required on our part to discountenance any assemblies under our government without our knowledge and express permission ; moreover, it has appeared to us, that if an effectual remedy was not immediately taken, the consequence of that neglect might be dangerous to the State. For these reasons, and through our HISTORY OP FREEMASONRY IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. 523 paternal affection, as much for the public good as the private advantage of all our citizens and subjects, we have found it absolutely necessary to dissolve and totally abolish the said Society, which we do by these presents, and henceforth, forever, we forbid, annul, and abolish it in all our territories and districts, to all persons that now are or shall hereafter come into our dominions ; and we do in the first place ordain and decree, that all those our citizens and subjects who are actually known to be Freemasons, shall be obliged immediately to abjure, by oath, the engagements they ha,ve taken in the said Society, before the bailiff of the districts where they reside, without delay. And as to our own citizens and subjects who actually are Freemasons, and not publicly known to be such, and who nevertheless at present reside in our dominions, or may hereafter come under our obedience, our sovereign will and pleasure is, that those who shall be found in our dominions shall be bound to renounce their obligations in the space of one month from this date, and those who are absent must submit to the same terms, to be reckoned from the date of their return ; not only to accuse them- selves, but to abjure and renounce their engagements ; those who present them- selves in our capital city to the reigning advoyer, and in other cities or in the country to the bailiff of the place, and from them they shall receive assurances of safety to their persons if they abjure and renounce their obligations without delay, in the same form that all other Masons are obliged to do. " Upon failure of any part hereof, they shall undergo the punishment here- after declared. But to the end that no person shall dare, for the time to come, to entice, tempt, solicit, or be so enticed, tempted, or solicited to engage him or themselves into this same Society of Freemasons, we have thought fit to ordain and decree as follows : — "That all those Masons who shall hold their assemblies in our dominions, or who shall entice, tempt, or solicit others into their assemblies or associations, as well as all our citizens and subjects in our dominions, and elsewhere, as also those who have been set at liberty, shall for the future frequent such assemblies, they shall all and every one of them be subject to the fine of 100 crowns with- out remission ; and likewise be deprived of whatever place, trust, benefit or employment they shall now hold ; and if they have no present employment or office, shall be rendered incapable of holding any such for the time to come. And touching the place or Lodge where this kind of assemblies are held for the future, the person or persons who shall let or furnish them with a house, room, or place for the holding of such Lodge, shall likewise be fined 100 crowns, one- third of which shall belong to the informer, one-third to the bailiff of the place, and one-third to the Hospital or Fund of the Poor where such assembly shall be held. Let it be further understood that all persons who shall after conviction emigrate from our dominions in order to evade the fine, shall remain banished from our dominions forever, or till said fine is paid, on pain of death. We more- over reserve at pleasure to punish, with more or less rigor, according to the case of the person so rendering himself up to our sovereign pleasure, or those who, notwithstanding their abjuration, shall have again entered into the Society, or frequent any of their assemblies. "We further ordain and command that all ministers of justice do cause these presents to be published in all our churches, and to be placarded in the accus- tomed places. Given in Grand Council, March 3, 1745." 34 524 world's masonic register. From this attack, however, thanks to the Grand Architect of the universe, Masonry revived in 1764, when the bodies resumed their labors under the guid- ance of a Grand Lodge at Geneva. But Switzerland, like France, has been sorely visited with Masonic dissensions, and there at one time existed two or three conflicting Grand Lodges; within a few years, however, a reconciliation has taken place, and the brethren now all acknowledge the authority of the National Grand Lodge of Switzerland, situate at Berne, who now exercise Masonic juris- diction under the name of Alpine ; their constitution is similar to that of Great Britain, but only recognizes the three degrees of Ancient Craft Masonry. From Poland we have no certain data. When the first Lodge was erected, in 1739, it was suppressed by an edict of Augustus the Third, so that it must have existed before that time. In 1781 it revived under the auspices of the Grand Lodge of France, who, on the application of some Lodges at Warsaw,- Lodges were constituted at Wilna, Dubno, Posen, Grodno, etc. In 1784 these Lodges all united and formed a Grand Lodge, whose location was at Warsaw. Although under the dominion of the Czar of Russia, we are credibly informed Masonry is in a flourishing condition in Poland. In Bohemia the first Lodge was instituted in Prague, in 1749, under a Con- stitution from the Grand Lodge of Scotland ; hence all Bohemian Masons call themselves Scotch Masons, having been initiated in what they term the Scotch rite. Most all the leading men residing in Prague are Masons, and they are very tenacious whom they admit among themselves, and by which means they are probably the most select of men in any part of the globe. A Scotch officer in the Prussian service was taken prisoner at the battle of Lutzen, who, with three hundred and seventy-eight more men, were conveyed to Prague; the Scotchman made himself known as a Mason, and was immediately released from confinement, had the honor to dine daily at the tables of the most distinguished men of the city, was always requested to be present at their assemblies, and desired to consider himself a Freemason, and not a prisoner of war. On the exchange of prisoners, which happened about three months afterward, the Scotch gentleman was in the politest manner presented with a purse of sixty ducats to defray his expenses to his regiment, besides being overloaded with many kind marks of remembrance of his Bohemian brethren. Were we to follow this noble example of the brethren in Prague, and be as tenacious whom we admit within our portals, it would elevate the Masonic char- acter far beyond what it now is; but our over-anxiety to do good, and to make all applicants participants of our noble institution, often has led us to overstep the boundary of prudence. To our readers, we beg to impress the good result which jnust follow the noble example of our Bohemian brethren. From Hungary, we have nothing certain of the existence of the first Lodge. During the struggle for independence there were many Lodges, and several of the refugees who lately arrived in the United States were received in our Lodges as members of the great family. Since it is again under the iron sway of the Austrian monarch, it is hardly to be presumed they are permitted to labor in the work of charity. A better day, we hope, is in store for our Hunga- rian brethren; and we trust a rich harvest will be reaped from the seed which we have sown among the refugees, and to all those who landed on our shores, and did not belong to the fraternity, who were, during their sojourn, initiated into our mysteries. May the Grand Architect speed them, is our present prayer. HISTORY OK FREEMASONRY IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. 525 FLANDERS AND BRABANT. Considering the vicinity of these places to France and Holland, Masonry does not flourish there as might be expected, partly on account of the Roman Oath- olic religion being the prevalent one in those countries. We have, however, a record of the establishment of a Lodge in the City of Ghent, as early as 1721, and another at Mons, in the year 1730. There are, in these States, several Lodges, some acknowledging the jurisdiction of England, Scotland, Prance, and Holland, from whom they received their charters. The original Lodge of "Perfect Union" was afterward directed into a Grand Lodge. The present Grand Lodge of Belgium has its seat at Brussels. In short, we have very little knowledge of the Craft in the above countries, which latterly have been merged into the Kingdom of Belgium, and trust at some future period to lay before our readers a more succinct account of the doings of our Order. We refer them to our lists of Lodges in Belgium and Holland. ASIA. The first Lodge of Freemasons was established by a patent from England, by Sir George Pomfret, in 1728, in Calcutta. Another was formed in Bengal, in 1740, and in 1779 there were Lodges in Madras, Bombay, Bencoulen, Fort George, China, Fort Marlborough, Batavia, Ceylon, Patna, etc. etc. From the first Constitution granted to form a Lodge in Asia, in 1728, Masonry has flour- ished in that extensive division of the globe in a very extraordinary manner, principally under the authority of the Grand Lodge of England. Some few are under the jurisdiction of France, and several subject to Holland. The great harmony, good behavior, and rectitude of life among the brethren has induced some of the mighty native princes of the East to become members of the fraternity. On the 5th of February, 1777, at a Quarterly Communication of the Grand Lodge of England, Brother Graham, of the Lodge of Trichniopoly, near Madras, reported that his Highness Omdit ul Omrah Bahaudre, eldest son of the Nabob of the Carnatic, had been initiated into Masonry at Trichinopoly, and professed the greatest veneration for our noble institution. It was, therefore, resolved that a complimentary letter be sent to his highness, accompanied with a Masonic apron, elegantly decorated, and a book of consti- tutions, bound in a most superb manner. The letter and presents were intrusted to the care of Sir John Day, then going out as Advocate-General to Bengal, who executed his commission to the univer- sal satisfaction of the society; and the following letter was by him written to his highness, as an introduction : — "May it please yowr Highness : "The undersigned, having been honored with the commands of the Grand Lodge of Freemasons of Great Britain to convey to your highness an apron and book of constitutions, a testimony of their respect for you and your illustrious 526 world's masonic register. father, the steadfast friend and ally of their sovereign, as well as of the satisfao . tion they feel at seeing so exalted a name enrolled among their Order, intended to have executed the commission with which he is charged in a manner that might best answer the intention of his constituents, and the dignity and import- ance of the occasion. "It so happens, however, that the late dissensions in this settlement have so rent asunder every link of social life, and have so effectually dissolved the ties of amity and confidence which once subsisted among them, that even the frater- nal bond of Masonry has been annihilated in the general wreck. "For this reason the Lodge has so long discontinued its meetings, that it may be said to be now nearly extinct. "In this situation of things, it being impossible to invest your highness in full Lodge, and with the splendor and solemnity suited to the dignity of your char- acter and the importance of the commission he is honored with, the subscriber hopes your highness will condescend to accept (in the only manner that remains) the pledge of amity and respect from your brethren, the Masons of England, that accompanies this. " I remain, with the most profound respect, " Tour highness' most humble and devoted servant, "John Day." His highness subsequently returned an answer to the Grand Lodge, in the Persian language, elegantly decorated, and inclosed in cloth of gold. The ori- ginal is framed and glazed, and now embellishes the walls of the Freemasons' Hall in London. Masonry still exists in Asia Minor, and all the English settlements. The Lodges are at present in a very flourishing condition, and hold their charters from the Grand Lodge of England. TURKEY. Very little, at present, is known of the state of the fraternity in that region. As early as the year 1338, several Masonic Lodges existed in that country, and were situated at Constantinople, Smyrna, and Aleppo ; and no doubt that during the Crusades, Masonry, under the guidance of the Knights of Malta and the Templars, was firmly established in that empire. Of their present existence we have no correct information. OCEANICA. In a late periodical, we find that in 1828 many Lodges existed in these remote regions, especially at Sidney, Paramatta, Melbourne, and in fact in every country where either the British or American flag had shown itself, it being characteristic of the Saxon race to enlighten and promote the welfare of the great human family. HISTORY OP FREEMASONRY IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. 527 AFRICA. Africa, the third grand division of the globe, is an extensive peninsula, joined to Asia by a neck of land about sixty miles over, between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean, usually called the Isthmus of Suez. Africa once con- tained several Kingdoms and States, eminent for the liberal arts, for wealth and power, and extensive commerce. The Kingdoms of Egypt and Ethiopia in particular were much celebrated, and the rich and powerful State of Carthage, that once formidable rival to Rome itself, extended her commerce to every part of the known world ; even the British shores were visited by her fleets, till Juba, who was a King of Mauritania, but tributary to the Republic of Carthage, un- happily called in the Romans, who, with the assistance of the Mauritanians, subdued Carthage, and, by degrees, all the neighboring Kingdoms and States. Though it is beyond dispute that the Greeks derived all their knowledge from the ancient Egyptians, yet scarce a vestige of it remains among their descend- ants. This is, I presume, owing to the bigotry and superstition of their Mo- hammedan masters ; but here it is proper to make one observation, which is of general use. The Saracens, who subdued Egypt, were of three kinds : the first, who were the immediate successors of Mohammed, made war, from conscience and principle, upon all kinds of literature and knowledge excepting the Alkoran ; and hence it was that when they took possession of Alexandria, which con- tained the most magnificent library the world ever beheld, its valuable manu- scripts were applied for some months in cooking their victuals and warming their baths. The same fate attended upon the other magnificent libraries of Egypt. The Saracens of the second race were men of taste and learning, but of a peculiar strain. They bought up all the manuscripts that survived the general conflagration relating to astronomy, medicine, and some parts of phi- losophy ; but they had no taste for the Greek arts of architecture, sculpture, painting, and poetry, and learning was confined to their own courts and colleges without ever finding its way back to Egypt. The lower race of Saracens, espe- cially those who called themselves Egyptian-Saracens, disgraced human nature ; and the Turks have riveted the chains of barbarous ignorance which they im- posed. Thus, among them, many valuable remains of Egyptian Masonry have been destroyed ; nevertheless, we are in some measure indebted to the ancient Egyptians for many of our mysteries and customs. We have no records at hand from which we can give the present state of the fraternity in that distant land, but as early as 1736, under the auspices of the Earl of Loudon, a Lodge was constituted at James' Fort, under a warrant from the Grand Lodge of England. In 1773 a Lodge was constituted at the Cape of Good Hope under the sanction of the Grand Lodge of Holland ; and another was constituted in the Island of Mauritius ; another in the Island of Madagascar ; another at St. Helena ; and in the northern part of Africa, along the Mediter- ranean coast, nearly every seaport has a Masonic Lodge. Since the conquest of Algiers by the French many new ones have been added. 528 world's masonic register. MASONRY IN BUENOS AYRES. BY FINLAY M. KINO. Recent difficulties in the jurisdiction of Peru, as well as those with which our brethren of Buenos Ayres have had to contend, lead me to remark that the fraternity of the United States should be very charitable in the opinions they may form of Masonry in those distant climes. Masonic fidelity has often im- periled the lives of our brethren in both the countries referred to. It is the sub- ject of rejoicing that a change is taking place. The highest ranks of society, and very many of the government officers in Peru, Brazil, Buenos Ayres, and even in Uruguay, are contributing to the fraternal band, and joining their names and efforts to its progress and prosperity. It was not long since that I fell in company with an intelligent and enterpris- ing merchant from Buenos Ayres, who had long been a member of our frater- nity, and he gave me many interesting facts in connection with Masonry in that region. It appears there are thirteen different Lodges in the jurisdiction of Buenos Ayres, having in all about 3000 members. They are under the supreme control of the Grand Orient of Uruguay, practicing the Scottish rite. A few years since, the Roman Catholic Bishop of that country fulminated a bull against all Masons within his bishopric, and he went the length of declar- ing the marriage contract dissolved, and absolving the wife, a vinculo matri- monii, in all cases where the husband refused to renounce Masonry. Some parties, as high in temporal authority as the bishop was in spiritual, appealed from his decree to his Holiness Pius IX., at Rome. After waiting a long time for a reply or decision upon the appeal, and receiving none, an inquiry was insti- tuted as to the cause of the delay, when it was found, to the great satisfaction of the Roman Catholics of the La Platte, who were unwilling to bow to the be- hests of the bishop, that during a sojourn at Montevideo, in 1816, the venerable prelate at Rome, then a young man, received the degrees and took upon him- self the obligations of Masonry ! The successor of St. Peter could by no means violate the vows he had thus taken in his early years. The result was that the bull of the Buenos Ayrean bishop fell harmless to the ground, and the Grand Orient of Uruguay is in as successful operation as ever. Masonry has taken a new start in the Argentine Confederacy, and its republican tendencies have not only relaxed the grasp and tyranny of the priesthood, but have exer- cised a powerful influence in ameliorating the condition and elevating the stand- ard of society. Such is ever the influence of Masonry when allowed to work out its own mission, unfettered by the chains of political and ecclesiastical despotism. Port Byron, N. Y., July, 1860. FRANCE.

THE SATURDAY EYENWG POST. Sgltnbiir Stes! |rwtrattaw Sluices!! S0I& Informa&n!!! • &^ In laying their Prospectus again before the public, the Proprietors of " THE OLDEST AND BEST OP THE WEEKLIES" need enter upon no long array of promises. They may simply state, that they design making THE POST for the future what it has been for the past, a repository alike of delightful amuse- ment and equally entertaining instruction. Interesting stories, and choice sketches, by THE BEST WRITEKS, will always be found in THIS POST. Our stories for the last year have been generally acknowledged to be of the most interesting character; and we design not to allow any fulling off in this respect — though any improvement is hardly poBBible. But THE POST also aims to instruct : it contains weekly An Agricultural Department, The IMarliets, and Bank Note List, Choioe Receipts, Letter from i*aris, Domestic) and. Foreign News, Miscellaneous Information, eto. &$ NOTICES OF THE PRESS. A Steeling Family Newspaper. — The Saturday Evening Post takes leading rank among the family newspapers published in (his country. * * * It is devoted to pure literature, news, agriculture, humor, etc., and has a commanding claim upon the families of the land for approval and encouragement. Exempt from that too apt tendency of the public journalist to be content with simply reflecting the average taste of the community in which he lives, they find in the conduct of their sterling family paper no excuse for giving prominence to a class of details which would shock a parent to have fall into the hands of a family of children — but inculcate a scrupulous regard for the fine.keen edge of purity and modesty inherent in the mind and heart of young people, not to be worn out by familiarity with descriptions that no after time, no example, no gems of gold can ever restore. * * * We commend it to those who would supply their families with choice and profitable reading and instruction. — Democrat, Auburn, N. Y. We regard the Post as the very best of its class. It is edited with more literary taste and ability than any other paper of the kind with which we are acquainted — is always readable and interesting, and when we have a few minutes to while away in that kind of reading, we know at once where to find something worth spending them on. — Com. Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. The Saturday Evening Post. — We have to acknowledge the receipt of this fas- cinating family journal. The stories are well written and beautifully illustrated, and supplied in so profuse a quantity that we are fairly bewildered. We recom- mend to all. The Saturday Evening Post, published at the low rate of $2 per annum, by Deacon & Peterson, 319 Walnut street, Philadelphia. — Sentinel, Cayuga, Canada. Saturday Evening Post. — This is one of the best, oldest, and most popular weeklies in the country. We recollect, when a youth, how carefully we filed it away and preserved it. Its stories and other reading are of the highest order of literary merit, with nothing offensive to the strictest morals, while the illustrations are appropriate and well executed. — Gazette and Sentinel, Plaquemine, La. This highly popular and excellent weekly newspaper is certainly one of the best family papers published in America. We have been a constant reader of it for years, and can bear testimony to its many substantial qualities. It is peculiarly adapted to the wants of the home circle, and none can fail to read it without pleas- ure and profit. In every particular which goes to make up a readable paper, it will be found unequaled by any other. The best and most popular writers of England and America contribute regularly to its columns, while the farmer and mechanio will find its pages rich with articles of utility.— American, Butler, Pa.
