Masonic Rc-rt ion. ? paragraph, in yesterday's Phonix, mentioned that the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania had issued an address . to the Free Masons throughout the country, urging them ono and all to. Unite now to carry out the principles of the Order-brotherly love and charity. ' From tljis admirable address, wc make the ?.following eloquent and touching extracts: ? As our ancient and honorable Order has never taken part "in con- - spiracles against Government," sinc? this is forbidden, its members must be true to the teachings of the craft. We, everywhere throughout this land, must be the first to show, by our conduct andt conservation, by our ex? ample and our precepts among men, that there is vital vigor in the virtues of Free Masonry. We are a united band, free and accepted by and be? tween ourselves. Dfscord and enmity -the evil passions, revenge, distrust, hatred and malice-never yet have entered the Masonic temple. If our faith is strong in the landmarks, if we have known of the doctrine that liveth and abideth among us in all times, in all perils, in every commo? tion, in strife and war, let us now de? monstrate that we hold it as delivered to us by the fathers. Our Order is consecrated to unity, brotherly love, charity. To enlighten mankind has been our mission since the earliest of ages. Before Christianity, tho temple of the craft was -open. Its teachers . wer? - calling before the days of the patriarchs to mankind to' come and receive the light. That light has never yet gone oufe. The Jew, before *he altar on the sacred mount-the " Parsee, in his adoration of the sun the Mussulman, bowing to the East in prayer-the,, Greek, before the - shrine, of his divinity-the Christian, in devout faith at tho foot of the cross, alike, in the days of their gene? ration, knew and understood the mystic language, "God said let there be light, and there was light. " Breth? ren, we also are gathered in our temple, you in yours. Masons, in every clime or country, are, by adop? tion and acceptance, in a common fraternity one, united and insepara? ble. There can be neither schism, separation nor rebellion within or among us. The white apron of re? pentance and innocence is an emblem we all comprehend. It teaches us that- the entrance into the holy of holies can be had but in subordination to the fundamental principles of the Order. It admonishes us at all times, . under all circumstances, to renounce every act or deed, and the motives for either, which can destroy unity, harmony and charity. Each member of our fraternity, in ^ the several Grand Lodge jurisdic? tions of the United States, is (?rectly appealed to, in his individual Masonic character, to m?bitaiu, iii "H their , integrity, the principles of the Order. . Ct is his 'solemn dutv. Obligations < nee assumed, must ever be binding v in all their force on the conscience of every Mason. We cannot, if we would, surrender or silence them. They unite the soul to the throne of Jehovah, and are as eternal as His laws. We invoke the serious considera? tions of the craft to the m?st weighty responsibilities tovrhich reference is made. Theso obligations impose on. Ma? sons and jurisdictions the recognition of those rights which are thus common to each and all, and constitute thc Ufe, power and virtue of th? Masonic relations. We believe it to be the duty of Free Masons to regard the craft in the jurisdiction of the States of the South as b ethren. It is theirs to re? cognize iii*- power of this universal Masonic 1 udmark. Thus the re? union of fri ternal association can be established, ind this example before the people v ll be a demonstration of the living po ver of our venerable in? stitution. Brethren c ' the sunny South^ we believe youri1 Lfch and sincerity in tin* land-marks aro equal to ours. We claim no right to sit in judgment over your obedience to the landmarks-or your devotion to their perpetuity. We recall from the past four years neither witnftss nor testimony. The Light in the Masonic Temple casts no shadow. It is ever at the meridian when we look into each other's hearts, and take each other's hands in bro? therly love. . But whilo we are all Masons, we are also fellow-country? men. We are citizens of States w hose prosperity is indissolubly connected with this Union. We aro citizens of States where individual aud col?eetive happiness and welfare can be best maintained, encouraged and secured by the union of these States, as our fathers and your fathers made it by that great compact, the Constitution. Let us invoke your cordial and unre? served acknowledgment of this truth. I^et us invoke your aid to cement to? gether the people of the States, ' 'with? out any reservation or self-evasion of mind whatever." Let us, and you, I come together in unity, in harmony, charity and brotherly love, as Masons, laboring for the common benefit ol our fellow-citizens and mankind. The outside world, our brethren round the globe, every peoples, have Lad their anxious attention directed to this Union of States, in the land of the setting Sun. The problem of free' Government bas been closely observed in'its practical working for tbs past half-century. They know, up and down in this land, the crafts? men are dwelling in the myetical or? ganization of the Order. The worl'd and our craft are asking in every known tongue, has Masonry no power to heal the w-ounds bf the common? wealth? Has Masonry no power to birrft up that which is broken, to pour in oil and wine into tho torn and lace? rated hearts of citizens of that great nation of the West? Have Masonic teachings lost their power? Are the ears deaf that the people cannot hear the joyous sound? I of unity and' peace, concord, eharitj and brotherly love, which come oui of the Masonic temple, as the rays oi the morning exit, of the "chambers oi the sunrise? Brethren, let us show mankind th< power and the truth of Masonic land? marks. Let us gird our loins wit! strength, take the symbol of love ant unity into our hands, put on our fee the sandals of good will, imbue orr hearts with earnestness and faith then will all the people wonder am rejoice, then will the glad tidings o great joy fill the Masonic world Then will we throw away the iroi tools of the outside craft of men, an< again take up those symbolic em blems by which foundation-stones ar securely laid. We*ow? our country and tho worl the duty of our example. Let u make rt manifest. Come among us we will go among you. Your tempi is our temple; your masonry on masonry; whither masonic teaching bid ns g?, let us go together. Brett ren, we invite-you, by the great glor <?of our indestructible Order, by th undying light which illumines on pathway to aud from the communio of the craft, by your precept au example, and eftbis among your fe low-couutrynien, to begin the gres work of r?conciliation. Then, in the future of this gre? nation, the voices of the whisperiu waves of tho Pacific; umiting with tl roar of the Atlantic,.?w?l prochain "Mercy and truth are met togethe righteousness and peace have kisse each other." Men of America, b hold and listen! We, officers of tl Grand Lodge of Free Masons of tl Sfate of Pennsylvania, have felt i our peculiar privilege thus to addre ! the craft in our several jurisdictioi -North, South, East and West; this Union. We do this in the true spirit of Free Masonry. We appeal only .to Masons, by the immemorial language used among them every? where. There is no other motive but charity, unity, brotherly love, which actuates us. With politics, we have nothing to do. We are Masons, and as Masons - we . invoke your ear to listen and your hearts to act. Breth? ren, by th? love and light, hope and faith, which belongs to our Order, as from thd beginning of time, we salute you. May the great Architect of Heaven and Earth f?o lovel and square ous minds and hearts, that by our motiver and actions, "men may know that Thou, whose name alone vs JEHOVAH, arl the Most High over all the EartJi."
