represents ; the specified and primordial seed which gave 
birth to each mixture is designated by the flame of the 
taper ; lastly, tbe second seed implanted in each mixture, 
and which, loosed from the chaos of putrefaction, gives 
life to a new being of the same kind as the first, and is 
indicated by the golden rose. 

In the interior of the triangle formed by the sun, 
moon, and star, is shown the Egyptian eye ; this hiero- 
glyph, 30 common in the antiquities of this nation and of 
which no one, so far, has given the meaning, is composed 
of the eye properly so called and the wand of Osiris ( ) 

to which is joined the whip or flail of the same god ( ), 
the junction appearing thus . This hieroglyph, which 
is known to resemble the seal of Osiris, presents a very 
just emblem of the universal power which sees every- 
thing (the eye), whose authority extends over all (the 
sceptre), and which triturates, governs, and gives fear 
everywhere (the whip or flail). 

At the base of the purple triangle is given the trigram 
of God (Hebrew), Schaddai, sacred word of the Theoso- 
phic Masons, and of several other grades. 

Let us now pass on to the second triangle, that which 
is found at the bottom on the right side of the plate ; the 
base of it is sky blue ; it corresponds to the celestial 
world, and at the same time to Scottish and Cabalistic 
Masonry. The winged globe which we behold at the top 
is that Egyptian hieroglyph which represents the soul of 
the world. The globe is bluish, the wings alternately 
red and yellow, on the globe we read, Rouach Elohim 
(the Spirit of God) which borne first on the waters will 
dissipate chaos and distinguish the elements. 

Underneath we see, on the equator, an ecliptic arc. 
This figure designs the ingenious hypothesis of the Knight 
of Louville and of Delormel, who believing that they 
were assured that the obliquity of the ecliptic on the 
equator diminished insensibly, have supposed that this 
obliquity was periodical, and that in course of a frightful 
number of centuries the ecliptic effected an entire revo- 
lution on the equator. One can see in the work of 
Delormel (the Great Period, or the Age of Gold), the 
consequences flowing from this hypothesis, in the pro- 
gressive origin of peoples, their civilization, religions, 
sciences, &c.

THE MORGAN MONUMENT AND OUR AMERICAN 
BRETHREN. 

The New York Times takes the following grotesque view of the 
anti-Masons, their Morgan Monument, and the Fraternity of Free- 
masons : 

To most people the fact of the existence of a “ National Christian 
Association ” was made known for the first time the other day, by 
the unveiling of a statue erected by the association in honour of 
one William Morgan. Judging from the names of those who took 
part in the edifying ceremony, the National Christian Association 
consists chiefly of Blanchards, together with an occasional Taggart, 
but it is evidently an energetic and determined body of men, who 
are resolved to save their country if they have to erect a dozen 
monuments. 

At first sight it may seem rather odd that a National Christian 
Association should take pains to honour the memory of a drunken 
vagabond, whose one claim to fame lies in the fact that he either 
violated a dozen or more of the most solemn oaths or told a large 
collection of ingenious falsehoods. To add to the beauty and 
symmetry of his moral character, Mr. William Morgan always , 


maintained that he violated his alleged oaths and betrayed 
the confidence of his associates from a sense of duty. He thus 
crowned his moral edifice with hypocrisy, and was as various and 
miscellaneous a rascal as our prolific country has produced. That 
such a man should have been honoured with a monument by an 
association of Christians would certainly be a very singular fact 
were it not that the National Christian Association is engaged in 
work of such tremendous importance that it cannot stop to inquire 
into the moral character of its great apostle and protoraartyr. 

From the proceedings at the unveiling of the Morgan monument 
at Batavia it appears that the National Christian Association has 
for its object the exposure and defeat of the horrid conspiracy 
against Christianity, morality, and free government, summarily 
comprehended under the name of Freemasonry. Mr. William 
Morgan was one of the first men who called the attention of 
Americans to the dangerous character of Freemasonry, and that 
either he or some one else was thereupon killed by Freemasons or 
other persons is, in the opinion of the National Christian Associa- 
tion, an undoubted fact. 

Everyone knows of the existence at the present day of Free- 
masonry, but had it not been for the National Christian Association 
few of us would have known what desperate and wicked men the 
Freemasons are. They are beyond any question the leading fiends 
of the nineteenth century and their practices are as abominable as 
their principles are infamous. 

Hypocrisy is one of the invariable characteristics of the Free- 
mason. It is this that enables him to wear the expression of 
innocence and dulness which one always notes in the faces of F ree- 
masons when an entire lodge stands up to be photographed with its 
aprons and horse collars. The fat, amiable brother who wears his 
hat is apparently utterly incapable of murder and treason, and the 
rest of the brethren look as if they were on the point of singing 
hymns and giving five cents each to the missionary cause. Yet, 
thanks to the National Christian Association, we know that these 
men are the most skilful of hypocrites, for in spite of their smooth 
and innocent faces they are plotting the destruction of everything 
except their villanous Fraternity. 

The Freemasons of the lower grades are sworn to bear eternal 
hatred to religion, morality, and order. In the secrecy of their 
lodge rooms they commit the most fearful crimes. They inveigle 
upright men into their lodges and then cut them into fine slices, 
and dispose of them to the manufacturers of canned provisions ; and 
they take turns iu reading selections from Talmage's sermons and 
Tupper’s poetry. The Freemason who is a juryman, always votes 
for the acquittal of a brother Freemason, and the conviction of 
every prisoner who is not a Freemason. Contrary to the opinion 
entertained by many Protestants that the Jesuits are the instiga- 
tors of every crime comraitted'for the last century, the Freemasons 
are really the guilty parties. They brought about our civil war 
merely to gratify their thirst for blood, and the present Egyptian 
war is solely due to the hatred of Arabi, who is a leading Free- 
mason, towards Gladstone, who has never joined the Fraternity. 

The higher grade of FreemaSoWy, known as the Order of 
Knights Templar, is simply an armed and drilled force with which 
the Freemasons propose at the proper moment to seize upon the 
Government and establish a military despotism. These warriors 
present a most ferocious appearance. Clad in cocked hats, black 
coats and shoulder straps — the uniform worn by the original Tem- 
plars in the time of the Crusaders— they march through our 
streets and fill the minds of the members of the National Christian 
Association with just alarm. It is now pretty well ascertained that 
prior to seizing the government of the country, the Templars 
intend to poison nine-tenths of their fellow-citizens by putting 
arsenic in their beer, aud thus rendering them incapable of resist- 
ance. It is with this purpose in view that the Templars have 
made themselves familiar with every beer saloon in the country, 
and have gained the confidence of every beer-seller. The proof 
that they have done this is simply overwhelming, and the act 
admits but one interpretation, provided we rigidly exclude all 
others. 

Fortunately the National Christian Association is aware of the 
nature of Freemasonry, and will baffle with Monuments the wicked 
schemes of the Freemasons. The unveiling of the Morgan Monu- 
ment has already stricken terror to the hosts of Freemasonry, and 
if the association will only erect a few more monuments and make 
a few more speeches the Freemasons will disband and throw them- 
selves on the mercy of the National Christians.

MASONIC ANTIQUITY. 

LIMERICK. 

^ As a point of general interest bearing upon the theory that 

Freemasonry was first invented at the beginning of the eighteenth 
century only, we are induced to describe a small square now in 
the Lodge-rooms of Lodge 13 in Limerick. 

In 1830 the Corporation of Limerick decided upon taking down 
an old bridge, called Baal’s Bridge, which connects the island upon 
which the old town of Limerick is built with the mainland. This 
old bridge consisted of four small arches, and had a row of ten 
houses along one side, the back walls of which were a continuation 
of the parapet, and the front wall and other parapet formed a 
narrow street as in several old bridges in England and other coun- 
tries. This old bridge of small arches was found inconvenient and 
tending to prevent the flow of water, and as it was to be replaced 
by a bridge consisting of one single arch only, the foundations of 
the old piers had to be entirely removed and the bed of the river 
deepened. This required the entire removal of all the foundations 
of the old piers in the centre of the river ; and when taking up the 
lower course of the centre pier a little cavity was fouud which con- 
tained the following article, viz. : — 

A small brass “ square ” similar in size to that now worn by the 
Worshipful Master of all the Craft Lodges in the world, four inches 
and a half from the outside angle to each end and about two inches 
and three quarters from the inside angle to the inside end of the 
Bquare, the ends being sloped from inside to outside edges with a 
wave pattern, not a straight edge. The square is made of a plate 
of brass five-sixths of an inch broad by about one-tenth of an inch 
thick. 

The square is a little different from the present jewel worn by a 
W. Master, inasmuch as it has two holes, one at each end, at the 
inner edge, instead of one single hole at the angle, so that if it was 
hung round the neck by a ribbon or chain it would hang with the 
angle instead of the ends down as in modern days. 

Anybody reading thus far would conclude it was only an orna- 
ment used by operative masons, but we now come to the remark- 
able engravings upou it : — 

At the angle of each side where the hole of the modern jewel 
is situated is engraved a heart, with its lower point to the inner 
angle and the top indentation to the outside angle. 

On the sides of the square is the following inscription in capital 
letters, a line on each arm : — 

I * WILL • STRIUE • TO * LIUE 
1517 

WITH • LOUE • & • CARE 
UPON • Y e * LEUL* 

BY • Y e • SQUARE 

The first two of the above lines with the date are upon one side 
of the jewel ; the latter two upon the other side. 

This is a most remarkable article, about the antiquity and 
genuineness of which there is not the least possible doubt. The 
two hearts and inscription are quite plain to be seen, and the only 
doubt which can possibly be raised is to one figure in the date 
which might possibly have been 1317, the second figure could not 
have been cither 0, 1, 2, 4, or 6, and it could not have been either 
7 or 8, nor could in reality have the second figure been any other 
but a figure of 3 or 5. The top and bottom of the figure are 
perfect, but the intermediate stroke is partly defaced, and this 
stroke it is which makes a difference of two hundred years in figures 
of those dates, as in the case of a 5 this stroke runs from the left 
of the top line to the left of the semicircle, and in a 3 from the right 
of the top stroke to the same place at the bottom as in the former 
figure. 

How this square came to be placed in the position it was found 
is a difficulty, as there is no historical account of the building of 
this bridge either in 1317 or 1517, and the structure must have 
been in existence long before 1317, as it formed the only entrance 
to the island upon which the old city of Limerick was built. It is 
therefore supposed that in the numerous battles which took place 
upon this bridge or by a flood it may have been injured, the cur- 
rent being strong in that place, and some portion of the structure 
renewed at the time the square was placed in the position 
where it was found in 1830.

London, April, 1883. 


E observe a question now exercising 
WOTJ the minds of members of the Grand 
Lodge of England, which has from 
time to time made its appearances in 
the Provinces. We allude to the continuous 
re-election of aristocratic Grand Officers ; and 
without in any way suggesting the introduction 
of the following practice into Grand Lodge in 
its entirety, we yet consider some modification 
of it might be adopted with permanent advan- 
tage to the Order. In a certain Masonic Pro- 
vince about twelve or thirteen years ago, it was 
found that all the offices in the Provincial Grand 
Lodge were continuously filled by brethren be- 
longing to Lodges in the County town at which 
the Provincial Grand Lodge usually met, and 
even, though in one instance at the time alluded 
to, one Provincial office was held by a member 
of a rural Lodge ; that brother did not represent 
the views of his rural Lodge, the only reason for 
his election having been, that he happened to be 
in business at that time, in the County town. 
The rural Lodges in the Province were situated 
long distances away from the County town, and 
trains and other conveyances did not arrive and 
depart at convenient hours, and so rural brethren, 
whenever proposed, never had a chance of elec- 
tion to office, being always outvoted by the 
town members who had no long distance to go to 
attend the Provincial meetings, held as they 
were at their own door. After due consideration, 
the following expedient was devised which has 
up to tfiis worked well, and to the satisfaction 
of all concerned. The Provincial Grand Lodge 
meets in January, April, July, and October ; and 
in time for the October meeting each Lodge in 
the Province is bound to return the name of one 
Past Master. When the Provincial Grand 
Lodge assembles in that month the names of the 
brethren so returned are read out and put into 
a box. The Provincial Grand Master and his 
Deputy are permanent officers, and, conse- 
quently, remain undisturbed, but every other 
Provincial officer, except the Secretary, is bal- 
loted for. The first name drawn from the box 
is Senior Grand Warden for the ensuing year, 
the next Junior Grand Warden, and so on. If, 
as is often the case, returns are not made in due 
time, the defaulting Lodge loses it representa- 


tion, and the meeting can there and then vote 
any qualified brother to stand his chance for one 
of the official posts ; or if the number of offices 
exceed the number of names returned, the Pro- 
vincial Grand Lodge proceeds to draw the 
names from the box, and afterwards, by open 
proposal, to fill any vacancies left. Dues had to 
be paid at first by the officers elected, but this 
was found oppressive in some cases and for 
several years, has been commuted for a fixed 
amount paid to the Provincial Grand Lodge by 
each subordinate Lodge in the Province, which if 
the Lodge fails to pay, their representative can- 
not stand for office. This arrangement insures 
first, each officer in the Province being a popular 
representative man, as he has been chosen by 
some Lodge ; it next reasonably insures his due 
attendance for the year ; if poor he is not incon- 
venienced by having to pay fees ; and every 
Lodge, no matter how far distant, or inacces- 
sible, or uninfluential it may be, has an equal 
chance of its representative holding the highest 
office the Province has to dispose of. This mode 
of selection has worked most satisfactorily in all 
respects, though of course the province is not 
always officered by brethren having aristocratic 
social position. It is, however, found in practice 
that no inconvenience or jealousy whatever has 
ever arisen, as every brother has an equal chance 
of Masonic honours, and accepts his bad or 
good luck for the new year with a good grace. 
If the Provinces in England each returned the 
requisite number of candidates say, two or three 
each, they could afterwards be elected by ballot- 
slips, if the usual hat out of which the candi- 
dates are drawn in the Province already alluded 
to, was not considered too undignified a manner 
of selecting the officers of such an august as- 
sembly as the Grand Lodge of England. 


We have to direct the attention of the Masonic world to 
the following transaction, which it is no stretch of 
imagination or language to call outrageous. At a 
special meeting of the Provincial Grand Lodge of North 
Munster (Ireland), held for the purpose of considering 
the situation of Masonry in that Province, as connected 
with the suppression, by the Grand Lodge of Ireland, of 
the resolution referred to in our February and March 
numbers ; the Deputy Provincial Grand Master asked 
if there were any members of the Antient and Primitive 
Rite present, and upon two brethren stating they were 
members, he required them to leave the room, otherwise 
that he would not open the Provincial Grand Lodge. 
They first strongly protested, and then very wisely left 
the Lodge-room, thereby putting the presiding officer 
most thoroughly in the wrong, and worthy to be held 
up to all upright Masons as a wilful transgressor of 
the gentle and charitable laws of Masonry. By this

THE KHEPH. 


action one of the Lodges in the Province was arbitrarily 
deprived of its due and legal right of representation at 
the meeting, one of the Brethren being Senior Warden, 
and the other Secretary, of the Craft Lodge in question. 
This outrage against the laws of Masonry, and of the 
common courtesy due to every member of the Order, by 
the Deputy Provincial Grand Master of the Province, is 
only a sample of what has to be endured from brethren 
who have fallen far short of the liberal, tolerant, and 
charitable teachings of Freemasonry. For such conduct 
as this there is no possible justification, and we have 
but little doubt that in due time it will receive its due 
retribution. 

TO THE EDITOR OF KNEPH. 

Dear Sir and Brother. 

As an English Mason, I am glad to see that an 
Irish Past Master fully realizes the position in which the 
illegal and unmasonic action of the Grand Lodge of 
Ireland has placed your Irish members towards that 
body. It is idle for any one to contend that the excluded 
members are still bound by the ties of allegiance to the 
Grand Lodge of Ireland, when that body has definitely 
cut them adrift and left them to shift for themselves. 
I think there can be no doubt whatever of the inherent 
right of Masons to form a Lodge and work it without 
the intervention of any Grand Lodge at all. In fact 
these bodies have from time to time usurped powers, and 
introduced innovations in the government of the Craft 
quite foreign to the interests of the lay members thereof 
and tending only to glorify themselves. Witness the 
creation of the Grand Steward’s Lodge in England with 
its privileges over all other Lodges, and which unconstitu- 
tional act, more than anything else, contributed to the 
great schism. For my part I always feel regret that the 
much lauded union, under the Duke of Sussex, was ever 
accomplished. I am a believer in the sufficiency of 
Masons to govern themselves, and have very little faith 
in the purely ornamental element, who from the accident 
of birth or position are pitchforked into stations to which 
they have no real claim, and who bring after them a body 
of greedy followers and subservient lackeys, who, like 
locusts, devour all before them. It is our own fault 
that we submit to these things. God knows Masonry 
derives neither honour nor profit from such association. 
On the contrary, the bibulous propensities of these gentry 
has disgusted and driven from Masonry many an earnest 
and good man, who would have benefited and added 
lustre to the Craft. 

The Mason who cannot do without the blessing of 
ornamental nobodies, to consume the fruits of his labour 
and appropriate all the honours, is a Mason I should be 
curious to see. By all means form a Lodge, and defy 
u cackleton” and all his works. 

Fraternally, 

Adull AMITE.

Masonic Directories. Bv Bro. K. IL H. Mackenzie, LL.D., 

32° IX 0 . London : John Hogg. 

We are extremely glad to find that our learned Bro. Dr. 
Mackenzie has completed the very useful series of handbooks on 
the Craft degrees ; they are four in number and relate — 1 To the- 


Deacon's Work ; 2— The Warden’s Work; 3— The Secretary’s 
Work ; 4— The Worshipful Master’s Work ; and judging from the 
generally expressed opinion of well-instructed Masons, Bro. 
Mackenzie lias succeeded in producing a book which is calculated 
to be of the greatest assistance to young Masons ambitious to 
make themselves thoroughly acquainted with the duties which 
they may be called upon to fulfil. 

We have always considered it a matter for regret that so well 
informed a Mason as our Bro. Mackenzie should not take a more 
active part in the Craft. We have so few really learned Masons 
amongst us that we can ill spare the services of Brethren who like 
Dr. Mackenzie have made a life study of Masonry in all its rami- 
fications. With a few of such Brethren to aid our counsels we 
should hear less of the crass ignorance of Masonry proper thgt 
prevails among Craftsmen, even amongst those who have attained 
the much coveted purple. It would seem indeed that the high 
road to Masonic honours in these days is the one above all others 
which we are expressly, nay, solemnly trained on our entrance 
into the Craft to avoid. 

The one sole desire of our rulers appears to be to limit Masonry 
to the affluent, to exclude the man of moderate means by rendering 
it almost impossible for him to attain even the chair of liis Lodge 
without an expenditure of money and time which to the uninitiated 
is simply incredible. And the worst of it is that with all this 
waste — for so we deem it — if he does not obtain Masonic instruc- 
tion outside the Lodge, he certainly gains none within it. Beyond 
the parrot-like accomplishment of being able to recite certain sen- 
tences by heart — more or less incorrectly — the average Mason 
knows as little of Masonry by the time he has passed the chair as 
he does about Science generally — for whenever we meet a really 
well-instructed scientific Mason we invariably find that he is out- 
side in the cold, whilst some convivial Brother Noodle is pitchforked 
into the post of honour. 

These reflections may be considered out of place in a notice of a 
Manual for his Brethren, but Bro. Mackenzie’s work has brought 
forcibly to our mind the sad lack of intelligent interest in Masonic 
work to be found in our Lodges, and we trust that the Manuals 
before us may induce the young Craftsman to try and ascertain the 
meaning of liis work, wherefrom derived, whither it tends, aud that 
he can have no safer guide than Dr. Mackenzie we are well assured, 
and if he does not derive pleasure and profit from the study of 
these unpretentious and yet most useful books, we can only say 
that the fault is not Dr. Mackenzie’s.

SOVEREIGN SANCTUARY OF AMERICA. 

The Thrice Illustrious Grand Master in issuing a Notice dated 
13th February, 1883, stating that lie had entered into fraternal 
relations with the Sovereign Sanctuary of lloumania and inter- 
changed Representatives with it, makes the following announce- 
ment : 

It is hoped and confidently expected that all foreign Sovereign 
Sanctuaries will soon establish fraternal relations with us. The 
membership under our Sovereign Sanctuary is about 10,000 : this, 
most likely, outnumbers the membership under any other Sove- 
reign Sanctuary in the World. 

Additions are constantly being made to our membership by the 
formation of new Chapters, composed of the very best material 
(we have no other). Three Chapters have been constituted within 
the past few weeks, as follows : No. 509, at Lockport, N.Y. ; No. 
510, at Owego, N.Y., and No. 511, at Wilson, N. Y., and several 
others are in process of formation. We have also taken steps to 
perfect the organization of the Sovereign. Sancl uary of Hawaii. The 
Sovereign Sanctuary of Canada is also in a very prosperous con- 
dition. 

With best wishes for you personally, and for the continued pros- 
perity of our beloved Rite, 

I remain most truly and fraternally yours,

ANCIENT MASONIC RITES. 

COMMUNICATING THE SECRETS OF ANCIENT MISRAIM 
IN PHILADELPHIA. 

Philadelphia, March 11. — On last night Thrice Illustrious 
Grand Master General Prof. Alex. B. Mott, M.D. ; Deputy Illus- 
trious Graud Representative Dr. D. F. Penington, Illustrious 
Grand Master of Ceremonies, Dr. V. Mott and Illustrious Grand 
Orator J. M. Austin, of the Sovereign Sanctuary of Ancient and 
Primitive Masonic Rite of Memphis for the Valley of America, 
instituted and installed the officers of Orient R. C. Chapter No. 3, 
18.*. ; Hermes Senate No. 3, H.P., 45.*., and Sesostris Council No. 
3, S.M.G.W., 90.*., in the Egyptian Hall of Masonic Temple in 
this city. The bodies consist of the leading representative Masons 
and business men of Philadelphia, and are by far one of the largest 
organizations of the kind ever instituted here. The entire member- 
ship numbers seventy-five, among whom are fifteen thirty-second 
degree Masons, one past grand master, two past grand high priests, 
two past grand commanders, six past commanders, twelve past 
high priests, and fifty- two past masters. The officers selected are 
gentleman whose standing in the community alone is a guarantee 
of the future of this rite in Pennsylvania. 

The. rite was introduced into America at the close of the anti- 
Masonic excitement, and had attained respectable influence when 
the outbreak of the civil war scattered its principal officers. The 
rite has only of late been introduced into Philadelphia. The 
government of the system is vested in a representutive body, en- 
titled, the “Sovereign Sanctuary of and for the Continent of 
America,” of which, as mentioned above, the celebrated New York 
surgeon, Prof. Alexander B. Mott, is illustrious grand master. The 
officers of the respective bodies are as follows : 

Orient R. C. Chapter, No. 3, IS.*. — Joseph Mirsell, M.D., most 
wise ; Thomas C. Stokes, senior warden ; Thomas W. Avres, 
junior warden ; Joseph S. Wright, orator; Daniel E. Hughes, 
archivist; Joseph E. Williams, treasurer; Arthur Thatcher, con- 
ductor ; Jacob W. Dowler, captain of guard ; W. E. Krewson, 
guard. of tower : John A. Weaver, prelate; John L. Yard, M.D. , 
organist ; Benj. K. Paullin, sentinel. 

Hermes Senate No. 3, H.P., 45/.— Arthur W. Woodward, 
sublime grand commander ; John W. Haseltine, senior knight in- 
terpreter ; Alex. M‘Cune, junior knight interpreter; Daniel 
Hughes, M.D., knight recorder ; Joseph J. Williams, knig 


finance ; Esra S. Bartlett, knight orator ; Jacob W. Dowler, 
knight marshal ; Robert T. Houston, knight archivist ; Jos. H. 
Raber, knight of introduction; Jacob Beck, knight accompanier; 
George M. James, knight captain of guard; Andrew Adams, 
knight standard bearer ; W. L. Zeigler, M.D., knight sword bearer; 
N. A. Williams, knight guard sanctuary ; Benj. K. Paullin, krnght 
sentinel. _ . . 

Sesostris Council No. 3, S.M.G.W., 90.*.— Robert Lee Lloyd, 
sublime dai ; Philip C. Shaffer, first mystagogue ; E. Stanley 
Perkins, M.P., second mystagogue; Samuel W. Wray, orator ; 
Daniel E. Hughes, M.D., secretary ; Jos. J. Williams, treasurer ; 
Henry Grim, grand expert ; Samuel H. Allen, archivist ; 
E. P. Micliener, messenger of science ; Homer E. Hoopes, guardian 
of sanctuary ; Benj. K. Paullin, sentinel. 

After the officers were duly installed the illustrious grand master 
and his officers conferred the ninety-second degree upon the three 
first-named officers of each body, and the ninety-fifth degree upon 
Daniel E. Hughes, M.D., and four others. Dr. Hughes received 
the latter degree as an especial compliment and mark of esteem, 
he having had special charge of the formation of the rite and having 
refused to accept any permanent office. To him is due almost 
entirely the very flattering and successful beginning of. one of the 
most important Masonic movements ever inaugurated in this old 
Commonwealth, which is the mother grand jurisdiction of Masonry 
of the United States. 

After the work of conferring the various degrees was finished 
Illustrious Brother Hughes invited his distinguished guests and 
brother members to the banquet hall on the first floor of the temple. 
St. Alban’s Commandery band was stationed in one of the corridors 
of the hall and played during the evening. The menu comprised 
every dish that the caterer could possibly prepare. That justice 
was done was evinced by the appearance of the tables at the close 
of the banquet. The toasts offered were as follows ; 

Thou sayest that I usurp another’s titles ? 

In youth I saw the Orient’s Sages Three, 

Magalath and Pangalath and Saracen, 

Who followed the bright Star, but home returned 
For fear of Herod by another way ! 

Lies hidden now that star ? 

“ The R. W. Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, the Mother of 
Masonry in America — The only source of true Masonic light in 
Ancient Craft Masonry.” Responded to by Sublime Grand Com- 
mander Arthur H. Woodward. 

“ The Ancient and Primitive Masonic Rite of Memphis — 

Prove all things, 

Hold fast to that which is good. 

Responded to by Thrice Illustrious Grand Commander Dr. A. G. 
Mott. 

“The Grand Holy Royal Arch Chapter of Pennsylvania — The 
worthy daughter of an honoured parent.” Responded to by Past 
Grand High Priest Michael Nesbitt. 

“ The Graud Couucil of Royal and Select Masters of Pennsyl- 
vania — A Masonic gem of rare beauty.” Responded to by Illus- 
trious Brother D. E. Hughes, M.D. 

“The Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Pensylvania 
— Vexilla Regis prodeunt, fulget Crucis mysterium.” Responded 
to by Sublime Dai Robert Boyd Lee. 

“ The Consistory of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite Masonry 
of Philadelphia — Parallels should never be antagonists.” Responded 
to by Illustrious Orator Samuel W. Wray. 

Our visiting brethren — 

Brotherhood ne’er dies — ’tis as the sun, 

Firm, unchangeable, and true. 

Responded to by Illustrious Brother Dr. D. F. Penington. 

“ Orient Chapter, Hermes Senate and Sesostris Council No. 1 in 
the Yallay of Philadelphia, whose inauguration we celebrate — The 
Masonic Climax.” Responded to by Most Wise Joseph Mixsell, 
M.D., Ph. D. The whole wound up with a humorous poem by 
Brother Jacob Beck. 

The American Legion of Honour was largely represented in the 
gathering, Supreme Commander Michael Nesbitt, grand secretary 
of Pennsylvania, Samuel W. Wray and many others, who are 
active workers, being present. Judging from the personnel of the 
gentlemen who are at the head of this valley , a year hence will 
witness one of the brighest stars shining from the Orient of Phila- 
delphia that has ever appeared in the Masonic firmament.

ANTIENT AND PRIMITIVE RITE OF MASONRY. 

(INCLUSIVE OF MEMPHIS AND MI Z It AIM.) 

The degrees of this Rite are open to all Master Masons in good 
standing. It teaches the Fatherhood of God, the Brotherhood 
of Man, and the Immortality of the human Soul. Strictly 
unsectarian, it offers an intellectual treat of the highest order 
to the Masonic enquirer, whether he be a literal student of 
Masonic history, or a philosophical seeker of abstruse truth. It 
forms a pyramid whose base is that Universal Craft Masonry, 
which has covered the Globe, its time-worn ascents are the 
Masonic virtues, its apex the scat of eternal truth.
