Masonry In Indiana.

Garden of Oothsemane.

THE(-IN3HANA REVEILLE, IS.PVriiMSflBIJ BVlillV WKOXESU.IV, BY FREDERICK J. WALDO.

From the published proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Indiana for the year 1850, wo gather that there are 100 chartered subordinate Lodges in the State, and 7 working under dispensation. There ore 7,4-10 faster Masons. reported as members of subordinate Lodges—being again for theyear.of SG3. - As there is no especial proportion of lodge funds sit apart for charitable purposes in tho Masonic Order, it ia impossible to giver any figures showing the amount expended for- such purposes.— Masonic Lodges never publish statistics of that kind. ( Every member’s pocket is the treasury of the Lodge, ami drafts ate made on individual!, according to' their means and ability to give, os -occasion requires. j The nambej of 7,150 members of lodges docs not include'n large number of ,nonaffiliated Maiionf 1 , who are'members' of the order, but 1 nol attached to any Lodge.; It is impossible. to correctly estimate their numberd.. N - Tho pnblifilieil proccnlingc of the annual Grand Gpmmnnicatioh of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, iu'*tlic State of Indiana, for 1850 shows.a list of 3G subordinate Chapters, with, 1,108 contributing members. The proceedings of the Grand Council of Royal anil Select Masons, for I860, exhibits 8 suliordinatc Councils, with !84 contributing membnrs. The establishment of a Grand Council in Imliana is of very recent date. It has had an existence of about one year. Since its organization the subordinate Councils up to May Jai t, had received into connection 68 new 'members. This branch of the order, is flourishing-in a high degree. From the published proceedings .of tho Grand Encampment of Knights Templars for 1855; wo gather that there wore in the State qf Indiana oh the first of December of .last year, six subordinate Encampments, Ip-wit: at Indianapolis, Lafayette,. Qreensburg, Fort Wayne, New Albany, and Qonncrsville. These hod an-aggregate! membershrp of 100 Sirs Knights. ' The Masonic Order throughout the State and nation was never in a more prosperous condition than • at present.— Now while it Is looked upon'with marked favor, and numerous applications for initiation into-the ancient mysteries are made;'it is important that thoie who have charge of this revered - moral temple should guprd well the entrances, and keep the fountain pure by rejecting a hnion with tinclpn walcis.; It is' easy ( to admit enemies into the citadel, but it is diffiehlt to expel them after.they have ef fcctcd an entrance. ‘

Idont. Lynch, of tlic U. S. Navy, was in 18-1S detailed to take commflhd of tho Exploring Expedition to the River Jot* dan and the Dead Sea, The object of the expedition was to discover aad explain the peculiar features of this mysterious sea, to (he end thnt science might bo advanced, and tho curiosity of tho world put at rest regarding a sea that knows no ebb and flow, and in whoso God-accursed waters no living thing exists. Having faithfully performed tho object of his mission, ho bent his steps to Jerusalem, nud there visited alt tho “holy places” for which this city is so famous. Ho visited the Garden of Getbsemano in May, and thus speaks of that sacred spot: Tho clover upon the ground was in bloom,- and tho garden, in its aspects and associations, was letter calculated than any place I know, to sqotho a troubled spirit. , Eight venerable trees, isolated from the smaller and less imposing ones which skirl tho pass of the Mount of Olives, form a consecrated grove. High above, on either hand, towers a lofty mountain, with the deep yawning chasm of>Ichosopliat between them. Crowning one of them is a living city; on tho slopo of tha other is the great Jewish Cemetery, City of the Dead. Each tree in this grove, cankered, and gnarled, and farrowed by age, yet beautiful and impressive in its decay, is a living monument of the affecting scenes that have taken place beneath and around it. - The olive perpetuates itself; from tho loot of the dying parent stem the tree springs into existence. These are accounted one then: sand years oldf Under these of the preceding growth, llioroforo, tho Savior was wont to rest; and one of the present may. mark the very spot where he knelt, and prayed, and wcpl. No caviling doubt can find entrance hero. The geographical boundaries are too distinct and clear for an instant's hesitation. Here the Christian, 'forgetful of. the present, and absorbed in tho past, can resign himself to sad, yet meditation. Tho and crimson flowers growing about the roots of tho tree will giro bin ample food for contemplation, far they tell of the suffering and ensanguined death of tho Redeemer.”
