I have thus enumerated some of the
principles and practical virtues of our
institution "hut the greatest of these is
charity' Aye, that charity which com
forts the distressed, soothes the broken
hearted, pours the oil of joy into the
wounds 'of the true and faithful, suc
cors the widow, protects the orphan,
assists the unfriende 1 and the stranger,
lifts up the helpless, and visit3 tha ho
vels of the p.oor and the dungeons of
the unfortunate and oppressed that
charity which suffereth long, and is
kind;1' which " envieth not1'; " yaun
teth not itself'; "is not puffed up,
doth not behave itself unseemly, scck
cth not her own, is not easily piovked,
thmketh not evil; rejoiceth not in ini
quity, but rejoice! h in the truth ; beareth
ull things, helievtth all tilings, hopeth
all things, end jreth all thi;:g5;'' and
which never fa.lelh.11
In j.roof (frcm thousands of others
which might he readily adduced, I of.

LarvL it was

mire sharp than this.v
How diill reut is. that charity w hen
dispen'ed fro.ii the hands of a mason!
Few of the p'oul and pampered of the
earth are members of ojr lodges ; I hey
are made up chiefly of laborers, ofme
chanics, and men who are poor, or know
how :o approach and feel, for poverty.
They go kindly, and with silent and un
ostentatious step to tho hovel of the
wretched; they go familiarly, and en
ter into the feelings cf its inmates, to
soothe their sorrows and LinJ up the
wounds of their lacerated hearts. They
leave their pillunee there. The world
does not know it. The deed of charity
is done. It is real. No pride is pam
pered in the giver, no feeling is wound
ed, nor sense, of unrequitable obligation
produced; but the blessings of the dis
tressed and of heaven rest on the head
of a maon.
Oh! if there is one thing on thU
earth, w here all things are vain, w hich,
more than any oilier, is worthy of hu
man ambition, it is to be the moans ol
real relief to the unfortunate.
Another great advantage furnishe!
by our inu:u,!oa is that charity is
thereby rendered more certain t) be
bestowed. The first reason of this is

I have I h is presented, with n much
fidelity as 1 was able, the clnractcr of
our institution of mason rt as it raly
is of masonry as il should be practis
ed. Am I confronted with the assertion
that masons do n.it discharge their du
ties,? I answer neither ' do Christians,
Will you condemnChristianity because
hypocrites will get into , our cliurcheV?
or masonry because masons' a rn imper
fect? It. all things considered, Chris
tianity docs good, so does masonry
and I challenge the production of an
argument against masonry, with 'which
I may not with equal readiness batter
down tli3 walls of your Christian chur
ches. While human na'ure is imper
fect, 1 shall expect to see both Masons
J and, Christions imperfect ; and to main-
lain that in consequence of the abuses
of the professed followers of either, no
good could be accomplished by it;
would be to strike at the root of all so
cial organization, and to war against
every conceivble institution, human and

pecutiinary relief to persons not mem

taught by the principles they have pro

' In the mode of relief adopted by our
laws, one great advantage is obtained
over all other means of charity; It is
that Ike sensitive feelings of no one are
hurt by if. Probably there is not a per
son iu this house, who,rather than re"
ceive a" public charity, publi.ly known
and attested, would not suffer intense

horrors of deaih from , starvation.
And then, when all this suflering had
been endured, when disease had fixed

Mid w hen strength had become almost
exhausted, the sting or shame at being
the miserable recipient, of ihe pittance
of: an unfeeling world, might wring
the losom of the victim, and plant the
airowa of death-deep, in his heart.
And how. much better is it to a sensitive
mind to receive a condescending visit
from a haughty neighbor, whose sole
merit consisted in his gold, and .who
was unable to appreciawrand rocogaize
the wonderful . fact that poor people
sometimes have .souls'. It does seem
to rne that nine poor men out of ten

such charity even When driven 'by in

The reason is to be found in the ad'
mission of bad members and the depar

regulations of the order. While this is
the case, and Jmore bad meri and bad

Where our own consciences
