Toleration.

learn to look uiih charity upon what seem to bo the serious imperfections of others . In this land of freedom whero all men stand in eqnnlity under common laws , receiving equal privilege and protection , we can rejoico at what has been accomplished through , tho general

acceptance of our Masonic principle , bnt , with tho feeling of satisfaction which we have , there should also bo ever present the strong determination that our princip les shall continuo to guide to the complete realization of the Masonic ideal . That has not yet been reached ; the day is not yet

when we can rejoice at the universal acceptance of our teaching . Bigotry still lifts np it 3 voice , and at times we hear the echo of past ages in the anathemas directed

against us and against toleration and liberty , but as in tbe past so in the future , we shall press forward undaunted to our hig hest ideals . What . are those ideals ? We " answer in words spoken twenty-five centuries ago :

" Fearlessness , singleness of sonl the will Always to fctrivo for wisdom , open hand , And governed appetites , and piety , And love of etudy ; humbleness , Uprightness , slowness to wrath , a mind

That lightly lettoth go what others prize ; And tolerance and charity Whioh epieth no man ' s faults ; and tenderness Towards all that suffer ; A contented heart ; a bearing mild ,

Modest , and grave , with manhood nobly mixed With patience , fortitude and purity ; An unrevengelnl spirit , never given To rate itcelf too high—snch bo the signs

Of him whose feet are set—0 ! Indian Prince—On that fair path that leads to heavenly Bliss . " — Voice of Masonry .

Summer Heat And Obesity.

SUMMER HEAT AND OBESITY .

Summer , with its snltry beat , is not a source of unmixed pleasure to those who suffer from excessive corpulence . Health cannot bb maintained undo . " conditions of great obesity . In general the mental energy of the highly corpulent becomes impaiiod , and their capacity for the conduct of bnsircss is consequently much diminished . Our roaders will , therefore , be interested to know it ia

an indisputable fact thnt escessivo corpulency can , in all case ? , be cured by the system which has now for many years been successfully practised by Mr . F . 0 . Russell , of Woburn House , Store Street , Bedford Square , W . C . Mr . Russoll possesses hnndreds of testimonials from persons in all classes of society , many of them holding distinguished positions in the learned professions aud in Her

Majesty's services , which , taken collectively , prove to a demonstration that r . ny ono snffoting from obesity , who systematically applies his remedy for a few weeks consecutively , can bs cured . The patients under hia treatment ate not asked to be " fasting men ; " and it is remarkable that in the case of many of Mr . llnssell ' s subjects their appetite increases as their weight diminishes . A pamphlet

containing most interesting and trnstworthy information , together with the recipe , may be had by writing to Mr . Russell , enclosing 4 d stamps for postage . With such a remedial agent at their command as Mr . Kussell ' s speoific , oxcosaively corpulent persona have only

themsolves to blame if their unwieldy persons are not speedily reduced to fitting proportions . EXTRAORDINARY SUCCESS IN THE TREATMENT OP OBESITY .

Ociv corpulent readers will be glai to learn how to positively lose two stono in about a month with the greatest possible benefit to health , strength , and muscle , by a comparatively new system . It is a singular paradox that the patient , returning quickly to a healthy state , with increased activity of brain , digestive , and other organs , natui'ally requires more ft . 3 than hitheito , yet ,

notwithstanding this , he absolutely loses in weight one to two pounds daily , as the weighing maohino will prove . Thus there is no suggestion of starvation . It is an absolute success , and tbe author , who haa devoted years of study t ) the snbjoct , absolutely guarantees a noticeable reduction within twenty-four hours of commencing the treatment . This is different with other diseases , for the patient , in

some cases , may go for weeks without being able to test whether the physician has rightly treated him , and may have derived no real or apparentimprovementin health . Here . ' we repeat , the authorguarantees it in twenty-four hours , tho soale to be the unerring judge . The treatment aims at the actual rcocof the disease , so that the superfluous fat does not return when discontinuing tho treatment . It is perfectly harmless . "Wo advise our readers to call the attention of

stout friends to this , because , sincerely , we think they ought to know . For their information wo may Bay that , on sending cost of postage ( fourpence ) , a reprint of Press notices from some hundreds of medical and other journals—British nnd foreign—and other interesting particulars , including the " recipe , " can be had from a Mr . F . C . RUSSELL , Woburn Honse , Store Street , Bedford Square , London , W . C—Belfast Neivs Letter .

GOOD NEWS FOR STOUT PEOPLE ? It does not follow that a person need to be the size of Sir John Fulstnff to show that he is unhealthily fat . According to a person's height so should his weight correspond , and this standard has been prepared by Mr . F . C . EusselJ , of Wbbnrn House , Bedford Square , London , W . C , so that any one can see at a glance whether or no he is too stout . People in the past have been wont to regard fatness

as constitutional , and something to be laughed at rather than to be prescribed for seriously ; but this is evidently an error , as persons whose mode of life has caused a certain excess of flesh require treating for the cause of that excess , not by merely stopping further increase , but by removing the cause itself . lb is marvellous how

this " Pasteur" and "Koch of English disooverers can actually reduce as much as 14 lbs . in seven days , with a simple herbal remedy . His book only costs 4 d stamps , and he is quite willing to afford all information to those sending as above ; it is really well worth reading . —Forget-We-Not , 19 th November 1892 .

A POSITIVE CURE FOR CORPULENCE . Any remedy that can be suggested as a cure or alleviation for stoutness will be heartily welcomed . We have recently received a well-written book , the author of which seems to know what he is talking about . It is entitled , " Corpulency and the Care , " and is a cheap issno ( only 4 d ) , published by Mr . F . Russell , of Woburn House , Bedford Square , London . Oar space will nob do justice to this book ;

send for it yourself . lb apears that Mr . Russell has submitted all kinds of proofs to the English Press . The editor of the Tablet , the Catholic organ , writes : — " Mr . Russell does not give us the slightest loophole for a donbb as to the value of his cure ; for in the most straightforward and matter-of-fact manner he submitted some hundreds of original and unsolicited testimonial letters for oar perusal

and offered ns plenty more , if reqnired . To assist him to make this remedy known , we thtuk we cannot do better than publish quotations from some of the letters submitted . The first one , a marchioness , writes from Madrid : — ' My SOD , Conut , has reduced his weight in twenty-two days 10 kilos . — i . e . 34 lbs . ' Another writes : — 'So far ( six weeks from commencement of following your system ) I have

lost folly two sbne in weight . ' The next ( a lady ) writes : — 'I am jnst half the size . ' A fourth , 'I find it is successful in my case . I have lost 8 lbs . in weight since I commenced ( two weeks ) . ' Another writes ' A redaction of 18 lbs . in a month is a great I access . ' A lady from Bournemouth writes : 'I feel much better , have less difficulty in breathing , and can walk about . ' Again , a lady says : 'It reduced

me considerably , not only in the body , but all over . ' Tho author is very positive . He says : ' Step on a weighing machine on Monday morning and again on Tuesday , and I can guarantee that you have lost 2 ibs . in weight without the slightest harm , and vast iraprovtment in health through ridding the system of unhealthy acoumulations .
