Each one of us must answer for himself the question, whetlur lie has taith fully discharged his covenanted1 duty and whether in aU things I e has truly sought to aid in tlie great design or in otir institution, to the exclusion of minor and meaner aims. In like manner each must prepare his own con- j science for the duties of the com ingyear, and to the extent ol his ability endeavor to lay the founds fion for a deeper and broader usefulness in the tut tire, admitting,as J we all must, that we have left undone some things we ought to have done- lhe past and the ...iti. t lit. . nr^<pn I 1 11 I 14 It' (tie ? nil UWVI, Mlv U.V^... only is ours, lo redeem the omissions of tl>e past by preparation for greater devotion in theluture. The closing month of the year brings with it a duty, the proper discharge of which is the utmost consequence to the stability of the Lodge and harmony of action among the brethren. Indeed we may he pardoned assertion that, of the varied duties ever passing upon us, none can be considered as ol greater importance? in view of the t;e>ults depending upon i*?than that lo which we now refer, the crowning act of our Masonic year, namely, the selectinn ot competent brethren for "?-"? in llm It iMUvr?i/coi v i in t iv ? -? ? has been the general custom among writers, in rel'ering to this subject, to single out the Master, as if, he being judiciously selected the other officers would be little consequence. It is about time this error was corrected, and that the brethren should understand the necessity ot lilting all tlie olfi ees with their best men. We are in nowise disposed to lessen the dignity or importance ot' ihe Master; on the contrary, we think with Oliver, that *Mo maintain his authority, the Master of a lodge aunt service | 'WVWWWWWWVWWW ? 1 Ihe patron** oCKin^im N V np?(o>tl:i(c .llillinorv Store S% new and complete line ol* ? ! /2\ l?tS> . ? wwu ^ (?) ? nags, - <?> WW WW (gj :fjRibteyaas ? no?t beautiful <lc*ie;ii?.

The oflice of Master is one which should not too readily be sought, for its functions are not easily discharged " And the Townsend, 4hat "The brethren must in all lawful things obey their Master, lie, on his part, should have no object but the welfare, advantage, and comlori of his brethren. We may teach hrm our forms, explain to him their meaning, stimulate his am bitiou' to discharge his duties creditably; but, alter all, we must leave him to look within his own heart lor instruction, and to be guided by his own good sense and good feeling in his general conduct." But we still insist that our duty as members to the Lodge and to each other does not end with the selection of a good Master. The Senior and Junior Wardens are by immemorial usage and by special enactments the representatives of the Lodge in Grand Lodge,and the legitimate successors of the Master tor all purposes when from an\ caut-e he is absent from the communications r\( I hp r>r 11 it:tiilp siflpnd i to his duties in person. It is then just as important that they should be selected for their acquaintance with the principles of the Society and their ability to assume the highest official place in (lie Lodge should circumstances require it of them; that they should as far as possible possess the same qualifications as are required of the Master. They are his natural counselors, and, like him, shonl i have a through knowledge of the ritual as well as an initmate ac quaintance with the affairs of the Lodge; and so of the others, each in his place, like the parts of a nicely arranged mechanism, contributes to the general success and | assist- in maintaining peace and: harmony, the strength and sup- I port of ail institution*, especially j this of our".
