Frater the Eev . Dr . Lemon , Vicar of Poughill , Cornwall , has been presented by the Metropolitan College Eosicrucian Society of England , with a Past Celebrant ' s jewel on the expiration of

his twelve months of office in the chair . There are only two other Eosicrucian Colleges in England , one at York and one at Newcastle-on-Tyne .

The installation of the Worshipful Master of the De la Pole Lodge , Seaton , -will take place on the 28 th inst ., Brother A . W . Oakley P . P . G . S . B . of Devon having been nnanimously elected to fill the chair for the second time . Sir Edmund de la Pole , of

Shute House , has generously promised t 6 present a buck from the Old Park at Shute , to grace the table at the usual banquet following the installation , says the " Devon and Exeter Gazette . "

An English Lodge in Glasgow—i . e ., a Lodge promoted by Englishmen , and to be conducted on similar lines to the best Lodges across the Border—has long been talked of in certain circles , but as yet the proposal has not taken definite shane , says

" The Mallet , " in the " Glasgow Evening News , " who continues : " The idea now reaches ine from an entirely different quarter , and the hope is that if both parties meet , something is sure to come of it . This certainly is the right time of the year for action if the matter is to be taken up seriously . "

We regret to learn that the premises of Brother George Kenning , 16 Great Queen Street , were entered by burglars at an early hour on Thursday mo . rning . The thieves forced open a window on the ground floor in Parker Street , and took a glass

case containing Masonic jewels from one of the shop windows into the machinery room of the printing department at the back , and stripped it of its contents . Jewels worth between £ 600 and £ 700 were taken . The Bow Street Officers arc investigating

Ar00401

the case , bub neither the thieves nor fche jewels have yet been traced . 0 0 0 The hostility of the Eoman Catholic Church to Freemasonry , on the Continent at all events , so far from abating , becomes every year more aggressive . Its latest development is to be

found in the arrangements for an International Anti-Masonic Congress to be held on the 29 th September . Although the leading promoters are French and Italian Catholics , it has been decided that the gathering shall take take place at Brussels , " the Governments both of France and Italy being too much

under the dominion of the secret societies to render it probable that the congress would be allowed to meet unmolested in either of those countries . " The objects of the movement are declared to be ( 1 ) " fco prove fco the world , by the mosfc convincing evidence , the evils and disasters of which Freemasonry has been the cause

to mankind at large , and to the Catholic Church in particular ; ( 2 ) to find the remedy for its sinister action , cind to constitute , from all the active forces that can be induced to co-operate in the struggle , a permanent organisation against this infernal society . " Happily , English Freemasons , as such , hold aloof from political and religious controversy , and may therefore escape the anathema . — " Morning . "

To those Catholics who are aware of the harmlessness of Masonry in these islands the utility of the project of an International Masonic Congress , which is just now occupying the attention of Continental Catholics , may appear doubtful ; but it must always be remembered that - in respect fco religion a wide

gulf separates the British Freemasons from their Continental Brethren . Of the baleful influence exercised on society by the latter there is the most explicit evidence from those who have held high positions in the society . Leo Taxil , before his conversion , was one of their leading lights , and in newspaper ,

pamphlet , and book he has denounced their wickedness since he has become a Catholic . Of the proposed congress he is one of the most earnest promoters . But with even greater enthusiasm is the project hailed by a more recent and more distinguished convertMiss Diana Vaughan . She has started a subscription to

, help to defray the expenses incidental to the gathering , and invites all Catholics to co-operate in the undertaking . " Catholics , " she says , " Freemasonry is your most dangerous enemy , and it is determined to do everything possible to destroy the Church . Be on the defence asainst those invaders of conscience ,

those enemies of religion , those corrupters of society . " Such an impeachment from such an authority should leave no doubt as to the mischief being done by Masonry and its agents .- — " Catholic Times . "
