Wiliam Thompson, S And on the reverse, the following:— THIS BUILDING, Erected to God and Dedicated to the Holy St. Johns, la Intended by the Masonic Societies of Augus ta to subserve the cause of CHARITV FRIENDSHIP and UNIVER SAL BENEVOLENCE. 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 j Bialchless beyond compare; Ko Art witli thee can share, Thou Art divine! 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. 1. Tho Masonic Hail ol Augusta— May it long he the abodeof '-friendship, morality, and Brotherly love.” i- i.
