Bishop Bagshawe And Freemasonry.

BISHOP BAGSHAWE AND FREEMASONRY .

CARDINAL MANNING , on Sunday the 29 th nit ,, reminded his flocks in London and throughout the extensive Roman Catholic diocese of Westminster that certain days of the current week are to be given np for special devotions for the intoutious of his Holiness the Pope . The Holy Father has himself oiderod the

reading in the vernacular of an allocution against what n called the " sacrilegious outrage" on the Christian faith by the erection in Rime of a statue to Giordano Bruno , the Panthoist , whom Leo XIII . describes as "a man of a depraved heart and perverted abilities . " Dr . Bagshawe , Bishop of Nottingham , has forestalled Cardinal

Manning in exhorting those in his diocese to mnke ropai - ation feu " the awful outrages lately committed at Romeagaiust Almighty God , whou the statno of an impiou * and impure Atheist waa publicly set up and hononrod there by delegates from all parts of the world , whon hymns wore sung ? i honour of Satan , and the banner of tho arch of

fiend , represented as triumphing over the chn ^ ch God , was openly displayed . " "This was , " says the bishop , " a pablio proclamation of the audacious attempt , inspired by tho powers of hell , and long secretly intended , utterly to destroy Christianity , and tho Holy Catholio Church . The Holy See itself assures us that ' the dark

society of Masons is striving to overthrow the Kingdom of Christ on oarth by va" lous and manifold schemes , plots , and arts , ' and that ' to p' -epare the wny for thnt overtb ow , the design was begun and perlected to obtain possossion of the City of Rome '; and lastly , that 'the leaders of the hostile sect have now declared by word aud deed

what was their ultimate objeot in taking the City ; by deed , when thoy wished the Holy City to witness the honours by which they extolled tho crimes and obstinacy of an impure apostate ; by word , wlieu by the voice of thoir leaders thoy declared openly that they were inaugurating by those solemnities a new religion , in which

setting aside the domit ion of the immortal God a divine worship is given to the reason of man . '" Dr Bagshawe says the assault that is thus being oairied on against the Church is so urgent and terrible that the Pope assured them that his liberty and dignity in the discharge of his apostolic office have already been gtievously diminished , and

that his person was not exempt from fear and danger . Catholics were bound to open their eyes " and those of others to the danger to which roligion and faith are exposed because of that sect of 1 -eeinasonry , which , assailing the unwary with craft and insidinusness ,

exerts all its powers against the Roman Pontiff . We are bound to remember , and to warn all those who depend upon us , of tho obligation we are all under , to oppose that sect , to avoid these con . spiracies , and to dofend and strenuously bear witness to the Catholic faith both by word and work . "—Nottingham Daily Express .

By the fire that occurred last week at the New Fa ' con Hotel , Gravesend , two Lodges , viz , Freedom , No 77 , and Sympathy , No . 483 , aro rendered temporarily homeless . Tho greater part of the Lodge fu' -nitnre was destroyed , and

thc remainder was much damaged by smoke and water . The loss is tho more unfortunate on account of the ancient character of some of tho articles , notably a ve ^ y fine set of i racing boards , some oil paintings of former Officers of the

Lodgo , p . ml several photographs . The Warrant of the Sympathy Lodge , which was in the Instruction room , was completely consumed , as well as the Centenary Wa ,. i-a . it isMied to tho Lodge of Freedom ; but Police

Superintendent Berry , who is also capt-c ' n of the local fire brigade , foi tuna ! ely succeeded in rescuing the ori & iual WP - ant of this Lodgo . At a meeting of the Gravesend Tow i Council it was proposed , by Bro . Councillor T . R . S . Champion ,

Secretary of Lodge of Sympathy , that the brethren of the two Lodges might be permitted to assemble in the Town Hall uut l they were re-installed in their old quarters , aid tho proposition was accepted .
