A Provincial Brother's Appeal In Favour Of The Aged Masons' Asylum.
and indigent Brethren ? Shall the heart which sorrow has broken remain unconsoled ? Shall we , remembering at all times Justice to our connexions , not sympathise with , and relieve the necessities of those who have , through life ' s chequered scene , regulated their actions upon the square ? Let us unitedly exclaim—¦ " And shall such friends of Charity and Truth ,
Not reap in age the harvest of their youth ? Shall those whose hands in affluence freely gave , In poverty and sorrow seek the grave ? Shall no home shelter the grey Mason ' s head ? Doom'd in his age to ask his daily brtad . Of all the temples to the Craft endear'd , Shall [[ no" ] such pile to Charity be rear'd ?
Forbid it , THOU , who , in the human heart Didst all life ' s gushing sympathies impart , Its generous tear , its pity for distress , Its impulse to relieve the fatherless ; Those perfect parts of an imperfect whole , Those mortal signs of an immortal soul ! " In conclusionlet me remind Brethrenof the language of
, you , my , the great Apostle of the Gentiles , —and let each apply it to his own bosom;— " Though I speak , " says he , " with the tongues of men and of angels , and have not Charity , I become as sounding brass , or a tinkling cymbal . And though 1 have the gift of prophecy , and understand all mysteries , and all knowledge , and though I have all faith , so that I could remove mountains , and have not Charity , I am nothing . Charity suffereth long , ancl is kind ; Charity envieth not : Charity
vauuteth not itself , is not puffed up , doth not behave unseemly , seeketh not her own , is not easily provoked , thinketh no evil , rejoiceth not in iniquity , but rejoiceth in the truth ; heareth all things , believeth all things , endureth all things . And now abideth Faith , ' Hope , Charity , these three ; but the greatest of these is Charity !" JAMES SHARP . JUN . SHAKSPEARE LODGE , WARWICK , NO . 356 " .
