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."
