sent Itself, the liberality of our Creed ? purns the idea of reproach ; we do not torture it by any wanton recitation of the crimes or follies that may have produced it ; our disinterested charitable contributions are instantly appropriated to its re lief. Why, it is frequently urged, are you so secret in your benefactions ? Why not announce your plans and works to the publick, that they may discriminate and boldly award the meed of philanthropy ? The authors of any good action should not be so studious in giving a mystery to their benevolence, but leave it to publick view for their approbation and applause. IVo ! We have no such sentiments of ambition among us ; we sigh not for such in evanescent support. An experience that shudders at the ingratitude of man, teaches us all, that if one were as " chaste as the icicle That's curded by the frost from purest snow, And hangs on Dian's temple," popular opinion would not be constant to his merits. Moreover, the truly charitable have a mind made serene and happy by the consciousness of virtuous actions, and need none of the fashionable applications of popular eulogy. Our works are not for the gaze of the wavering populace, but for the inspection and judgment of the Grand architect of the Universe. Brethren, As the reputation of our institution does not rest upon the parade of language or the efforts of eloquence, let us for the present forbear to enlarge on its particular excellencies. Let us persevere in the glorious undertaking of ncting up to the principles of free masonry, and " our Father who art in Heaven" will smile upon his children, cheer, and comfort them. Free masonry speaks to Unbelieving, obdurate man in the language of Heaven, and says " why persecutest thou me ?" The object of my great concern is to ameliorate thy condition, secure thy eternal happiness. Take my counsels, obey my commandments, and the world will again have its golden age ; benevolence willbe diffused everywhere, and man will take pleasure no more but in innocent amusements. All the nations of the earth " shall beat their swords' into plow-shares, and their spears into pru-ning-hooks, nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." And finally, when thou art taken to that solitary, gloomy, and consecrated abode, " from whose bourne no traveller returns," a messenger from Heaven will remove the barriers of the tomb, and thou wilt be carried into the presence of him, the light of whose glory will rclumine life, and where there is happiness for ever and ever SO MOTE IT BE.
