Its com plete text Is given. Most Worshipful Grand Master, Brethren and Friends: Tho origin of the beautiful ceremony of consecra tion witnessed herd today, like the ori gin of Freemasonry! Is so blended With story and legend that It la dlffl- eult to speak ot tha antiquity of the case with exact historical accuracy. Long before the days of epeculattvc Freemasonry the working tool! of the operative craftsmen were applied to the principal foundation atones of a build ing to tost their fitness for the Intend ed use. After the change from opera tive associations to ■ Speculative fra ternities the ancient custom as a dedi catory ceremonial has been generally continued wherever tho Institution of freemasonry has found favor through out the civilized world. The frequent occurrence of theae cercmonlhl occa- ftons conducted at tho Instance of an Intelligent people Is. In my opinion, a splendid tribute to the confidence and erteem In which the Institution ot Free. ""»onry is held In the eetlmatlon of tho people. The simple tenets of our faith, involving the duty we owe to family, ■ne commonwealth and our God, are ‘aeh as to Inspire at least respect In we minds even of those who are not In •ccard with our profession*.

I congratulate the Masons of this city and fcf this commouwenlth on account or tho fruition of tbelr hopes respecting tho building of a temple harmonious* Im Its adornments a-* «■—» »- '*■ tlons— a tempi . __ our system of human philosophy may be exemplified in a manner befitting the Im portance of the work. Nearly a half cen tury ago tho members of the craft re siding In this place were gathered near by engaged In the same solemn ceremony of consecration witnessed here today. While the men directly Interested In the work at hand at that time wore few in num ber as compared with tho peaceful, liberty- loving army which la met here today, and. while the structure Intended to bo reared at that time was extremely modest and In complete, when compared with the magnifi cent and beautiful temple about to be pieced upon the present foundation, yet DEAN OF TEXTILE EDITORS TO HEAD A TLANTA PAPER agree with me In the atatement that the underlying principle of the order Is a belief in an all-wise God. Those who believe In a Supreme Being, a divine ruler over tho destinies of heaven and earth, are eligible to membership In this great brotherhood, Irrevocably pledged to the support of humanity ln the ceaseless struggle for the betterment of mankind, and this la true whether such master mind be the guiding provl- dence of Christian. Mohammedan or Jew. This fact being fundamentally true. It )s not strange that Masonry, because of the purity of Ita Intentions and the universality of Its alms, should ploy an Important part In conserving and perpetuating that which la most beautiful ln the present civil and social order of things; ahould be recognised as a potent factor In creating a better snea of equity, equality and unity among them: should claim the right to assist In ameliorating the conditions of those who are bowed down with burdens that seem greater than they can **ar^ t# R|thar Than secret. While Freemasonry ts a system of human philosophy somewhat veiled In allegory and generally Illustrated by symbolism. It Is not, strictly speaking, a secret society for the very good rea son that ita purposes and Its constitu tions are and have been open and pub lished to the world. The order may be said to be private rather than secret. The votaries of the Institution claim the right to choose their work ng as sociates In the great forts that are being put forth. This work Is perfected In the open and only soeelal modes of recognition necessary toprotect the Institution against Impo- sit Ion nre nt nil hidden or secret. Freemasonry Is os comprehensive In Its alms and purposes as «•># “n ver- sality of Its Held of labor. Its min istrations are not confined to Its mem bership. but are Intended to Include mankind wheresoever dispersed throughout the world. Its mission is peace, mercy, tolerance, liberty, frater nity, equality, law. Ita wide field of labor Is Intended to cover all of the mutual duties and obligations of man to man, and wlills ministering to the Individual It Is the purpose of the In stitution that Its votaries shall not be unmindful, but, on ths contrary, deep ly and reverently conscious of the om nipotence of tho greet I Am. A firm belief In the fatherhood of God Is the chief corner-stone upon which this brotherhood of mankind Is bullded. Though Freemasonry presents a most beautiful code of morality, the institu tion Is In no sense put forward aa a substitute for the church, and its teachings are not under any circum stances Intended aa a aubatltute for re. Ilglon. While these facts are unalter ably true, Masonry la ever engaged In Its humanising efforts, not In a mere spirit of ethical abstraction, but In a practical, evangelical manner, for the betterment of mankind.

KIttredge, of Bolton, con sidered the “dean” of American textile editors, has, within the past month, been Induced by ths new owners of "Cotton” to sever his associations at Boston and to take the managing edi torship of “Cotton” In Atlanta. Mr. KIttredge will remove to Atlanta with his family In May. and will continue thereafter to make this city his home. The owners of "Cotton” are fortunate In securing such an eminent and well- known textile authority as Mr. Ktt- tredge to undertake the editorial man agement of their paper. As Mr. KIt tredge Is personally acquainted with hundreds of Amerluan mill owners, there are probably very few well In formed men In the textile Held today who are unfamiliar with hie name and writings. In following a natural bent of mind, he took up the economic and practical literature of textile manufacturing a few years prior to 1890, and has de voted his time and thoughts to It ever since—an editor of textile publications and contributor to magazines and tech, nlcal Journals. He organized the American textile exhibits at the World's Columbian Ex position held at Chicago, acting spe cifically, however, as a member of a committee, ot which he was chosen treasurer, appointed by the National Association of Wool Manufacturers. In 1896 he wts appointed by Gov ernor Frederic T. Grcenhalge, of Mas sachusetts, a member of the commis sion to represent the commonwealth at the Atlanta Exposition, together with the Hon.

STEP IN STRUGGLE IE RULE Bill Introduced in Parlia ment Gives Promise of Desired End. Chicago, May 8.—Tho general opin ion of the home rule bill among Irlsh- Amerlcans of prominence Is that while meager In Its concessions, It Is a step toward home rule. The bill does not give complete liome rule nor has It been the purpose of the government to grant Ireland complete self-rule at a single stroke. On the contrary, aa explained, the govern ment's measure Is but a stepping stone; - It Is at least some measure of eelf-rulo for Ireland over Irish affairs, and this much accomplished, It gives some promise of the ultimate realisation of complete home rule.
