on the brow of the other , is invisible . That is our secret , that i our secrecy . For Masonry , while not like its sweet sister , Od < Fellowship , an avowedly beneficiary , is yet most avowedly am absolutely a benevolent and beneficent society . Here surely , firs in its proclamation of faith in God , and next in its noble tenet o brotherhood and of brotherly love , is the strength of our Order
When these aspects of life are set in the forefront of our churches then , not until then , do I expect that this and kindred Orders will bf superseded . And surely it is something that by snoh means , bj especially the character of Masonry , these profound ethical aspects of life and duty are lifted up into the light . The century , of which our services to-dav mark the close , is
memorable on many accounts . But in none , I venture to say , more than this , that in a society bound together by no selfish gain , and not avowedly religions , the great fundamental truths of tho Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man , together with his immortality , are brongbfc so distinctively into tho very forefront of human action , and that to the ranks of snch a society the accessions to which should be so numerous . What a distance , well-nigh infinite , by

The position of Masonry is assured . The principles of onr Institntion must spread .

From tbe rough ashlar to the
evergreen all nature is seen to be tremulous with spiritual meaning , and that meaning in God o ' er head and brotherly love around and within . Not one of us expects to see another centennial . Bnt from the Lodge on High , into which through the mercy of onr God we hope to enter , we may be spectators of the steady , we trust the rapid diffusion of all in our principles that is in accordance with truth . One day our secrecy shall at once be common property and yet still secrecy .
For man to man the world o ' er Shall brithers be , and a' that . 'Tis coming np the steep of time , And this old world is growing brighter ; We may not see its dawn sublime , Yet high hopes make the heart throb lighter .
