The Corner Stone was then lowered to its
proper station in due Masonic form, while the
following Ode wa» performed by a full choir:
Hail Masonry divine!
Glory of ages shine,
Long may'll tboureign!
Where'er tby Lodges stand,
May they have great command,
And always grace the land;
Thou Art divine!
Great Fabrics still arise.
. And Grace the azure skies,
Great are thy schemes'
| Thy noble Orders are

Hiram, the architect,
f Did all the Oraft direct
How they should build;
SoTmnn, great Isr'el’s king, 1
Did mighty blessings bring \ Chorui 3 (irr.c.
And left us ground to sing
Hall, royal Art!
The most worshipful Grand Master then de
scended, and was presented by the principal
Architect (Mr. John Crane) with the working
tools, and having applied the Plumb,Square
and Level, to the Stone, pronounced it to be
well formed, true and trusty.
The Gold and Silver Vessels, were then deliv
ered to the Grand Vlaster, and he, according
to ancient ceremony, poured the Corn, the
Wine and the OR which they contained, on the
Stone, saying—
May the all bounteous Author of Nature,
bless the inhabitants of this place with all the
iiecessariefi, conveniences and comforts of life
assist in (be erection ami completion of this 3
building—protect the workmen against every , s
accident, and long preserve the structure from I
decay, and grant to us all, a supply of tbe corn i
of nourishment, the wine of refreshment, and i
the oil of Joy. So mote it be— Amen. I
The Graud Master then struck tbe Stone (
three times with tbe mallet, and the public <
grand honors of Masonry were given. He then |
delivered over to the Architect, the various <
implements of his profession, and addressed i
him thus: I
Brother Architect-. t
To you I deliver the implements of architec- ,
lure, and intrust the erection of this edifice, and ,
the superintendence of the workmen employ l
ed in it. Skill and fidelity are essential to the
discharge of those duties, and 1 hope you will c
never permit the workmen to be in confusion t
Cor want of designs upon the tressel board.— r
None but good work is to he received, and that ,
which is unfit for the building, you are to ra- :
ject. And let your conduct among the work- ' t
men be such as will stand the test of (he t
Grand Overseer’s Square; that you may not, t
like the unfinished and imperfect work of the
negligent and unfaithful of former days, be re- '
jecled and thrown aside as unfit for that spiritu- j
al building, that house not made with hands
eternal in the heavens.
To which the principal Architect replied!—
I accept, with pleasure, the trust reposed in J
me, and shall endeavour, to the best of my ,
abilities, to discharge the duties assigned ini’!
hoping that my exertions my be crowned with
approbation, and that this edifice may continue '
a lasting monument of tbe taste, spirit and lib- 1
erality of its founders.
Tbe M. W. Grand Master then delivered the '
folio wing address, which riveted the attention j
of u very numerous and respectable assem
blege:—
My Fnends and Brethren: '
On that stone which has just been deposi- '
ted, we hope, by the permission and assistance *
of Divine Providence, to rear an edifice con- I
trived by wisdom, supported by strength, and 1
adorned by beauty; wiiicb, when completed, 1
will be dedicated to God, to Masonry, and to 1
Universal Benevolence.
To God, (be great Architect of the universe; •
the bountiful dispenser of all good, and the I
indulgent parent of frail, weak, wicked hu- <
inanity—to that God in whom ail masons on <
their first initia'ion into our order, voluntarily I
profess to believe, and without which, no man i
can bo admitted nmougst us—and to that God i
whom all good masons obey, serve and adore, i
To Masonry, the moral hand-maid of religion I
and tbe great and efficient means of alleviat- i
ing human dislress —of disseminating the i
moral precepts of tbe religion of the Prince of i
Peace—and a type of the advent of the Messi
ah and the resurrection of the body, as clearly ■
manifested in tbe ceremonies of the order.— i
To Universal Benevolence, because Masonry ;
.is not confined in her charities to her own vota i
ties, but is co-extensive with human mise y: ,
nnd although masons are in n peculiar manner j
bound to relieve e ch other in distress, yet the ,
-obligations under which they are placed.to the ,
rest of mankind are in no wise changed er (
impaired, but in a peculiar manner strength- ,
ened and enforced by the superadded obliga- ,
lions of Masonry; and hence onr lodges are |
dedicated to Universal Benevolence
The ceremonies which you have just wit
nessed, may, to some, appear foolish and tin
meaning If there he any such in this assembly,
the most essential service I can render them
is, to advise them to join the Lodge and
search (lie Scriptures which are the great light
of Masonry. There they will find that God
bimseif, tiie essence of wisdom, did not deem
it foolish to lay corner stones, or rather, thus
metaplioncnily to allude Is the Advent of (lie
Saviour: “Behold I lay in Zion for a founda
tion, a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner
stone, n sure foundation; ho that bolieveth
shall not make haste to pass it over.” Isaiah
xxviii, 16. And as regards the Ceremonies
themselves, they all have a sensible meaning
, in a spiritual point of view. When I applied
the sqn-re, plumb and level to (he stone and
. pronounced it well formed, true and trusty, I
• slated what is true—(hat the stone is properly
made, that it is square, plumb and level, and
| well fitted to sustain the superstructure to he
i erected on it.
But my friends, this is not all. This annun
ciation conveys to (he mind of every well in
formed imsou, ideas of a nobler and a brighter
character, and calls to his memory truths of a
1 spiritual nature, (ho application of which lend
to reform the heart and enlighten the under
standing. In the Master’s Degree we have a
beautiful allusion to the resurrection the
body, and in the Mark Degree, to the rejection
of the Saviour by those to whom he was sent,
and of his finally becoming the bead of the
corner, notwithstanding such rejection.
“ The stone which the builders refused, is
, become the head stone of the corner.” Psalm
cxviii, 22.
“To him that overcometh will I give to cat
of the hidden manna, and will give him a while
stone, and in ih stone a new name written,
which no man knotveth saving him that receiv
ed! it,’* Uev. St. John xi, 17.
These, and many other passages of scripture
to which 1 could refer, have particular rela
lion to incidents which occurred during the
erection of the firs', temple, pointing to that
great event which the Jews looked for and still
expect, and which we say has long since come
to pass. The stone which the builders refused
possessed merits to them unknown, and it was
• therefore rejected, hut this same stone was in
dispensable to complete the building, and it was
brought forth with shouting and praise.
The Great Redeemer was sent to his own,
and his own received him not. He possessed
merits to them unknown, and they '•ejected him;
but as the stone, which the builders refused,
was brought forth with shouting and praise, and
became the head sto aof the corner of that
splendid earthly house; so, as we are instructed
in the scriptures, Jesus Christ, although reject
ed by those to whom he was sent, is the head
stone of the corner of that spiritual building,
that house not made with hands, eternal iu the
0 heavens.
* It is not my intention on this occasion to enter
into a detailed explanation ol these ceremonies.
I have said enough to convey to every intelli
gent mind a conviction of their propriety, of the
beautiful allegories they contain, and of their
spiritual allusion to tbo great Captain of our
salvation. “He that hath an ear to hear, let
him hear.” Rev. 3. 13.
Masonry has ever had to encounter hostile
and inveterate prejudices; and even in this en
lightened day, we find them existing among
those from whom we had a right to expect bet
ter things and from whom I know we should re
ceive a very different consideration, if they
would permit themselves to understand the
subject: but it is said Morgan revealed your se
crets, you have destroyed him or conveyed him
from his home and his country; you are bad men,
teaching corrupt doctrines, and there is no good
in you. These are eerious charges, and well
calculated to have an influence on weak an I
uninforia£(l minds; but, for the sake of the ar
gument, we will admit them to be true, so far
as they apply to the individuals concerned in
that transaction. Some young Masons who had
zeal not according to knowledge, did thus act;
j and what does this prove? Certainly nothin?
‘ against Masonry or its principles. The errors
’ 0 ( a few misguided fanatics in masonry, should
1 no more condemn the principles of masonry,
than the errors of a few of those who profess to
be the followers of the Lamb, should condemn
* the benign principles of the religion of Jesus.—
I | once heard a minister of the gospel declare to
! his people from tha sacred desk, that they might
do what pleased, them; “you may,” said he.
, ‘commit murder, theft, adultery, you m, d ; ;
- al' these '.hings, and yot your Heavenly Fatbe
will bring you in at last; but I would not advise
Cljvoti(trtt an o'
you to do these things.” J uJas, who was cho
sen by Christ himself, betrayed his Master, and
Peter denied his Lord, Will any man stand up
in this congregation and have the hardihood to
declare, that these facts are evidence to prove
that the Christian religion inculcates such doc
trines, and leads to the commission of such
crimes’ God forbid *. No, my friends: they go
to establish the authenticity and the purity of
our religion upon the firmest foundation; the
weakuess and frailty of our nature. They
prove that, without the supporting grace of
God, wo can do nothing; and point us to Him
who once bore our humanity, knows our weak
ness, and is now imploring the Father to have
mercy upon us.
Why then, 1 ask, should the errors or crimes
of a few ignorant and corrupt masons be brought
up in judgment against the principles of mason
ry’ Are they not to be judged by the same rule
which is applied to religion’ Shall they not be
judged by their fruits? Toudo not condemn the
religion of the Saviour, because some of its ro
taries commit crimes and blaspheme the name
they once professed to adore; and, why should
you condemn the principles of masonry, because
a few bad men have gained admission into the
lodge, and committed crimes expressly forbid
den by the principles we laught them? You
have no answer to this question that can satisfy
an enquiring mind. You aro forced to resort
io your prejudices in order to withstand the
force and the power of truth, and charity; that
godlike virtue which vve profess, tells me to pity
and forgive. “Lord forgive them, for they
know not what they do.”
1 would invite any intelligent, virtuous man,
who harbors these prejudices, to join the lodge;
study our principles, and judge for himself.—
If he will do so, and at the end of twelve months
tell me that our institution is not contrived by
wisdom, supported by strength, and adorned by
beauty—that our principles are not based on
the firmest foundations of morality, and sup
ported by the doctrines contained in the Sermon
on the Mount, then I will cease to advocate
masonry. A vulgar opinion has long prevailed
that we are bound to sing the praises of mason
ry, though iu our hearts we disapprove some of
her principles This is not true: if it were,
the argument would be at au end, ami our cor
ruption would stand confessed. No! my friends:
every mason is at perfect liberty to express
before the world bis real opinions of masonry,
and to approve or disapprove, as his judgment
may dictate, or bis conscience prompt. lam
acquainted with I good man, of high standing
in the community, who took the several degrees
of masonry in succession; who has never
since attended the Lodge or endeavored to un
derstand the principles or tenets of the order,
and who says that he can sec no beauty in ma
sonry, aud that the whole appears to him a
foolish and unmeaning ceremony. But is this
an argument against us? Can a blind man dis
tingmsb the colors of the rainbow, or a deaf
mnu enjoy the luxury of that music? How can
this man comprcheud doctrines he never heard,
or be pleased with principles he does not un
, derstand? As well might you introduce for the
first time into one of your Churches, a native
savage of the forest, pass him through all the
ceremonies of your devotion, and then expect
him to comprehend the mystery of godliness.
That savage would see no beauty in your reli
gion, and Wtiiild have no idea of your princi
ples, or the God you worship.
But Morgan has given you the secrets of
masonry. Do you believe it? For the sake of
the argument, 1 wdl admit all he has published
o be true, although by the universal consent
>f mankind, a perjured man is not entitled to
credit, and according to his own account he has
perjured himself, and what have you? You
have Certain signs, words aud grips, and the
ceremonies of initiation into the several degrees.
Oo these make you a mason? Do they convey
to your mind any truths or principles worthy
to be treasured up in the heart, and practised
in the life? II this be masonry, do you believe
that so many great, pious and worthy men, iu
every age and country, would be its votaries—
contribute their money to its support, and their
lime aud talents in the study and dissemination
of its principles ? Answer for yourselves—l an
swer, uo!
But the way to teat this matter is this:—Let
some man commit 'Morgan’s book to memory,
and present himself at the door of any Lodge in
ihr world, and claim admission. My word for
it he will never pass the inner door. Masonry
is founded on the oracles of truth and professes
faith in God, hope in immortality, and charily
to all mankind. It professes to know and ac
count for the manner in which the Penta’.euch
was preserved at the destruction of the first
temple, and reclaimed at the building of the se
cond; and to know the original and appropriate
name of the word which was in the beginning,
which was With God, and which was God. But
let masonry be tested by the rule prescribed by
Gamaliel to the persecutors of the Apostles.—
“If this counsel or this work be of men, it will
come to nought, but if it be of God, ye cannot
overthrow it, lest haply ye be found even to
fight against God.”—Acts V.—38,39.
And now Brethren, lay aside all malice, and
guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil
speakings.”
“If so be ye Lave tasted that the Lord is gra
cious, to whom coming as unto a fixing stone,
disallowed in deed of men, but chosen of God,
and precious: ve also, as living stones, be ye
built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood,
to offer up sacrifices acceptable to God?”
Brethren, this is the will of God, that with
well doing ye put to silence the ignorance of
foolish men. As tree, and not using your liber
ty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the ser
vants of God. Honor all men, love the broth
erhood, (ear God.”
The following Anthem concluded the cere
mony;—
Almighty Sire! our Heavenly king,
Before whose sacreii name we bend,
Accept the praises which we sing,
And to our humble prayer attend !
All hail, great architect divine!
This universal frame is thine.
That sacred place where three in one,
Compris’d thy comprehensive name;
And where the bright meridian sun
Was soon thy glory to proclaim.
All hail, itc,
Ou thy omnipotence wc rest,
Secure of thy protection here,
And hope hereafter to be blest,
XVhcn we have left this world of care.
Alt bail, Sic.
Grant us, great God, thy powerful aid
To guide us through this vale of tears;
For where thy goodness is display'd,
I’eaco soothes the mind, and pleasure cheers.
AU hail, Sic.
The procession was again formed and move 1
to St. Paul’s Church, where, after an appro
nriate prayer by the Rev. Mr. Talmage, Bro
(her Robert 11. Bkiu delivered an oration,
fraught with the beauties of language and apt
illustrations of the true character and tendency
of Free Masonry. The services at the Church
were rendered more interesting, by the assist
ance of the Organ and the young Ladies an '
"cntlcmeu composing the choir, who perform* I
hymns appropriate to tho occasion. After a
prayer and benediction by the Rev. Mr. Tal
ly, the brethren returned to the Lodge room,
and then separated.
In the afternoon, an excellent Dinner wa*
partaken by the brethren and a number of invi-
Ted guests, at the Planter’s Hotel. The fol
lowing Toasts were drank, and the company
retired at an early hour.

BOURNE, Proprietor of this establishment,
the first and only one ofits kind, in Ame
rica, iirrHes tbs attention of the polite and li
l>eral inhabitants of the South, and assures
them that with bis variety of goods or tbeir
qualities they will not but be pleased. The
recent improvements which have been made in
the store, and large addition to the former stock,
render it of universal attraction. The well
known fact that articles of the finttl qualities
only (as far as is possible to obtain them,) are
offered for sale here, and that but one price u
asked or received for then, is a consideration
which cannot be overlooked.
The variety of articles embraces the MOST
SUPERB ENGRAVINGS. SUPERIOR AR
HOLES OF FANCY. PERFUMERY ARTI
CLES, . FINE STATIONARY, DRAWING
MATERIALS, &c. Hie. In addition to which
he publishes all the ntto and fashionable. MUSIC,
for the Piano Forte, at just HALF THE USU
AL PRICE.
O’ To prevent any deception, it ia-only
necessary to r< member that the store is elevated
several steps from the street, and that it is north
of the new Masonic Hull and Hospital.
