Messrs E. A. Perkins, S. B. A. Wallace and
S. E. Clark — Gentlemen :
Yours, of the 25th inst. requesting a copy of
my Masonic address, delivered at Jlillen, the

I herewith send you a copy, as requested.
Yours, fraternally,

Brothers and Friends:
I shall not, on this occasion, attempt
an elaborate history of Masonry. Abler
minds have attempted the task and have,
at least, given a partial history to the
world. Suffice it to say, that Masonry
speaks to day for itself as a benevolent
institution of the highest order; and as
such it has claimed in all ages, since its
institution, the attention of the ablest
and best minds of earth. .While it lias
had enemies of misguided judgments,
its friends have been legion. And its
friends have been many tor the reason
that its influences, where its teachings
have been understood and practiced,
have always been elevating in ten
dency and often sweetening the asperi
ties incident to this life. If antiquity
renders a system respectable, Masonry
is certainly entitled to our considera
tion. That “temple” built at Jerusa
lem, once the pride of the Jewish com
monwealth. over which Israel now weeps
and longs to mingle their dust with its
ruins, marks the rise of Masonry. Long
anterior to the advent of Christianity, |
the mountains of Judea, and the plains
of Syria, the deserts of Tudia, and the
valley of the Nile were cheered by its
presence and enlivened by its song.-
More than a thousand years before the
coining of the “Son of.Man” a little
company of “cuimiug workmen” from
the neighboring eity of Tyre were as
sembled on the pleasant and beautiful
mount of Moriah, at the call of the
‘ wise King of Israel,” and there erect
ed by their great skill a mighty edifice,
whose splendid and umivalled perfeo
turn, and whose grandeur and sublimity j
have been the admiration and theme of
all succeeding ages. This was the craft
work of a fraternity to whose genius
and discoveries and to whose matchless
skill and ability the wisest men in all
ages have bowed with profound respect.
And having finished that great work
and filled all Judea witli temples
and palaces and walled cities; hav
ing enriched and beautified Azor,
Gozan and Palmyra with the results of
their genius, these “cunning workmen,”
in after times, passing through the Es
senian Associations, and finally issuing
fiom the mystic halls of the “Collegia
Artificum” of Rome, burst upon the
“dark ages” of the world like a bright
star peering through a dark cloud, and
under the patronage of the church pro
duced those splendid monuments of
genius which set at defiance the highest
attainments ot modern art. Hencefor
ward for eight centuries Masonry con
tinued an operative fraternity, produc
ing both in England and on the conti
nent those grand and unapproachable
specimens of art, which are the pride of
Central Europe and the admiration of
the traveler. Masonry has, in all ages
since its institution, been a tower of
strength as well as beauty, holding in
fraternal bands brethren cemented with
one of the strongest ties known to the
human heart, “brotherly love.” While
operative Masonry teaches us properly
to apply the useful rules ot architecture,
whence a structure will derive figure,
beauty, and strength, and furnishes us
with dwellings to protect us from the
inclemencies and viscisitudes of seasons,
it displays the effects of human wisdom
in the choice and arrangement of the
sundry materials of which an edifice is
composed, and demonstrates that a fund
of science and industry is implanted in
man for the best, most salutary and
beneficent purposes. Speculative Ma
sonry teaches us to subdue the passions,
act upon the square, keep a tongue of
good report, maintain secrecy, and prac
tice charity. And here Masonry is so
far interwoven with religion that the
mind looks to Deity with that rational
homage due from an intelligent creature
to the Creator. It leads the contem
plative mind to view with wonder and
admiration the glorious works of crea
tion, and inspires him with the most
ilr tisxffsMft.

VOL. III.!
exalted ideas of the perfections of his
divine Creator. Masonry, then, im
presses reverently upon the mind the
existence of a Goo in the display of His
wondering working power exerted upon
the “void immense” and in the creation
of man, a being of exquisite workman
ship “a little lower than tho angels,”
and peculiarly endowed. And thus en
dowed, coming under the influence of
Masonry, man is made sensible of his
obligations to love and serve God and
his obligations to aid the needy and to
relieve tho distressed of mankind where
ever dispersed. Masonry, then, not only
elevates the mind and gives us exalted
ideas of the divine perfections of Deity,
but it comes to us with the “olive
branch” of peace and inscribed upon it
“good will to man,” and with it intel
lectual and moral light, dispelling the
night of ignorance hovering over our
race, and guiding us to the great source
of Masonic light, which light shedding
its mellow rays upon the human heart
divests it, in part at least, of the “vices
and superfluities of life,” and gives to
us moral conceptions to the new and
grand, and fits us for the high duties of
social life. We take the position, then,
that Masonry is emphatirafly a benev
olent institution, having at interest the
claims of God upon man and the ameli
oration of the condition of our race.—
Systems have risen, flourished and died;
nationalities have changed, and many
revolutions of society have marked the
cycles of the past three thousand years;
but, Masonry has remained the same,
with no advocate but the influence of
its principles upon the human mind.—
It was then erected upon a most solid
basis, without a single objectionable
feature, “comely in all its parts,” and
wonderfully adapted to every clime and
soil. How else can we account for its
existence, unchanged by the decay of
age and the mildew of time? To arrive
at some fair estimate of the influence of
Masonry wo have mainly to look to the
nature of its principles, for in this, as
in other things, it must hold’good that
“as the tree is, such will be its fruits”
—“Wherefore, by their fruits ye shall
know them,” is the great test given by
Zion's Head and Law-giver, as the un
erring rule by which all systems arc to
be tried. By this test Ma-oury has
been tried, and lekel has not been writ
ten against it. The confirmation of well
attested facts are conclusive evidence
that its fruits are good, most salutary,
and beneficent. If would be a work of
cupererrogation for me to discuss anew
at an}’ length the principles of Masonry;
but it is necessary, perhaps, to advert
to the fact that Benevolence is one of
the most prominent among them, while
Truth, Virtue, and Honesty are, also,
qualities absolutely demanded of every
true Mason. All these virtues are almost
sure to be found united; for the Benev
olence that may appear to exist in sepa
ration from, or hostility to, Virtue will
invariably be found, on close examina
tion, to be a false and spurious imitation
of the noble original. Benevolence, as
understood in Masonry, is coextensive
with Christian Charity, and not limited
as this phrase, in its accepted significa
tion. It means, then, not alone the be
stowal of money or other assistance in
relief of distress, but the exercise of
Brotherly Love and good will to our
fellow beings in every phase and scene
of life—to comfort the widow and sup
port the fatherless, to bring consolation
to the house of mourning, and to cheer
the heart full of its own bitterness. —
These, indeed, are duties imperatively
demanded of Masonic Benevolence; but
no less so are the apparently minor ones
of bearing and forbearing with one an
other’s faults, and weaknesses, and of
doings in all things, even in the smaller
matters of the daily intercourse of life,
to each brother as we would he should
do unto us. Strife and contention, de
ceit, and hypocricy arc unknown among
true Masons \ but “plain dealing” and
universal benevolence distinguish them
—in short, it is in no degree presump
tuous, but simply in accordance with
fact and truth to assert that, in the
duties thus demanded of its followers
by the law of Masonic Benevolence, we
find an exact parallel to those enjoined
upon his disciples by the blessed Founder
of the Christian Religion, and by that
blessed disciple whose name is so dearly
associated with the history and tradi
tions of our order. As the former said,
“Whatsoever ye would that men should
do to you,'do ye even so to them,” so
did St. John, the divine, no less em
phatically declare, and in so doing he
enunciated the most essential and uni
versally acknowledged principle of our
order, “Wc know that we have passed
from death unto life because we love
the brethren.” “He ihat loveth not bis
brother abideth in denth.” “Hereby
wo perceive the love of Gon, because
“BALUB POPULI BT7PBEMA LEX ESTO.”
WAYNESBORO’, GA., THURSDAY, JULY 31, 1873.
He*laid down His life for us, and we
ought to lay down our lives for the
brethren.” “But whoso hath this world’s
goods and seeth his brother havo need,
and shutteth up his bowels of compas
sion from him, now dwelleth the love of
God in him ?” “And this command
ment have we from Him that he who
loves God loves his brother also.”—
These are, we repeat, the essential
principles of Masonry, nor could any
one who rejected or denied them ever
be allowed to claim the title of a true
Mason. A Mason’s charity must tri
umph over distance and difficulties and
reach far beyond the little circle of his
daily life to earth’s remotest bounds.
We might here call your attention to
acts and scenes in the past, and which
are occurring daily, illustrative of the
power of Masonic bencvolenjc under
the most trying circumstances. The
last sad and bloody struggle is full of
them. Suffice it to say here that from
iucontestible proofs already furnished,
in the midst of carnage and death,
Masonic benevolence avails to the relief
of the distressed where all else fails—
and binds by indissoluble ties all man
kind in one common brotherhood. All
the most philosophical writers, ancient
and modern, are agreed that humanity
is one of the truest tests of the progress
of civilization. Tliis is forcibly illus
trated in the comparison drawn between
the present time and nearly two hun
dred years ago. It is a (act well known
to exist that all orders of society, and
especially the lower, have derived incal
culable benefits from the mollifying in
fluences of civilization upon the national
character. There is scarcely a page of
history, or the lighted literature of the
the seventeenth century, which does not
contain some proof that our ancestors
were less humane than their posterity.
Nowhere could be found that sensitive
and restless compassion which has in
our time permeated all the ramifications
of society, and extended a powerful pro
tection to those eveu in the humbler
walks of life, the poor, the depraved,
and the degraded —which winces at
every lash laid upon the guilty culprit
which will not suffer the felon in his
confinement to be overworked —and
which has repeatedly interposed in its
efforts to save the murderer and lighten
the burden of the felon. The discipline
of workshops, of schools, of private fam
ilies one hundred and sixty years ago,
though not more efficient than at pres
ent, was infinitely harsher. The master
was a tyrant, pedagogues knew no way
of imparting knowledge but by ! eating
their pupils, husbands of respectable
station were not ashamed to beat their
wivc3. The implacability of hostile
faction was such as we can scarcely
conceive; Macauly tells u., in his his
tory of England, “That the whigs were
disposed to murmur because Stafford
was suffered to die without seeing his
bowels burned before his face. Tories
reviled and insulted Russel as his coach
passed from the tower to the scaffold
in Lincoln’s Inn Field. As little mercy
was shown by the populace to the suf
ferers of an humble rank. If an offend
er was placed in the pillory, it was well
if he escaped with his life from the
shower of brickbats and paving stones.
Gentlemen arranged parties of pleasure
to Bridewell on court days for the pur
pose of seeing the wretched women who
beat hemp there whipped; a man press
ed to death for refusing to plead; a
woman burned for coining excited less
sympathy than is now felt for a galled
horse or an overdriven ox. Fights, com
pared with which a boxing match is
a refined and humane spectacle, were
among the favorite diversions of a large
part of the people. Multitudes assem
bled to see gladiators hack each other
to pieces with deadly weapons, and
shouted with delight when one of the
combatants lost a finger or an eye.—
The prisons were hells upon earth, sem
inaries of every crime and of every dis
ease. At the Assizes the lean snd yel
low culpits brought with them from
their cells to the dock an atmosphere
of stench and pestilence which some
times avenged them signally on bench,
bar, and jury. Bat on all this misery
society looked with profound indiffer
ence.” That last paragraph conveys a
sad and terrible picture of the inhu
manity by which civilized England was
debased even less than two hundred
! years ago. Bi#t we have only to look
arcund us, in tho familiar walks of daily
! life, to find ample evidence of the wide
-1 spread existence of the same spirit of
cruelty, although under less offensive
and revolting forms. Inhumanity, par
adoxical as it may seem, is, alas ! all
too na’tural to the human heart. To
day, as long ago, it is all too true that
Man’s inhumanity to man

The value, then, of a world-wide or-

ganization whose leading principle and
object is to cultivate the very opposite
feeling—that of meroy and love in the
hearts of its members, must without
doubt bo of incalculable benefit and
blessing to society. In this respect,
Freemasonry goes hand in hand with
Christianity, nor amongst the philan
thropic agencies that have arisen for
the practical support of Gospel prin
ciples can any other for a moment com
pare in substantial results, with the in
dependent yet powerful auxiliary action
of Masonry. Asa promoter of human
ity, then, kind feeling, universal benev
olence, Masonry is permanently a bene
factor of society. And how many to
day all over this land and country, and
everywhere, where the light of civiliza
tion has touched and enlightened and
enlivened the heart of mau—if called
upon for their verdict—would rise up
and call it “blessed.” Tbeir name is
legion who would hail it as the morning
star of hope—the sacred depository of
the dearest rights of man. In the same
connection, though in a somewhat lower
point <}f view, there is no doubt that
society in America and in every country
where Masonry prevails to any great
extent is largely indebted to it in a
financial point of view. In every com
munity there is a certain amount of
poverty which has to be relieved either
by public legislation or private charity,
for “the poor shall be in the land.”—
In either case the weight ultimately
presses upon society at large. Now,
Masonry largely and liberally relieves
the necessities of its poorer members,
so that a deserving Mason rarely be
comes in any way a burden upon the
community of which he is a member.—
When, therefore, we consider the large
number ot the Masonic body in towns,
cities, and even rural districts, and that
the whole of that number is to be sub
tracted from the total population, upon
which the proportion of pauperism, in
cidental to all cities, is to be calculated,
we shall understand tho extent to which
Masonry is a public benefactor or re
liever of the public purse. But it would
be very erroucous as well as unjust to
Masonry to suppose that its charity is
confinedtoitsown members. In practical
benevolence as in all other things habit
has a most powerful influence. “Habit
is a second nature,” and the Mason
whose generous and charitable feelings
have been fostered and promoted by
the lessons of the Lodge and by the
habit there acquired of being liberal in
the relief of want and suffering, goes
forth into the world all th*e more ready
and willing to exercise the like benevo
lence toward those who are only his
“brethren of mankind.” We, as minis
ters, know well that the giving to bo
nevolcnt objects is confined for the most
part to a certain number, and that the
first and readiest to respond to aDynew
call of charity are sure to be t’ ose who
have already for years been the most
liberal in their contributions. Of course
natural generosity of disposition has
much to do with this, but the cultiva
tion of the spirit and the creation of the
habit of benevolence, must also be taken
largely into account. In demonstration
of this influence of Masonry in promot
ing generous and charitable feelings in
the hearts of its members, we could
easily point to many of the best and
worthiest of our country, whose names
rank high on the rolls of Masonic honors
and are no less intimately indetified
with eyery work of benevolenco and
philanthropy by which our country is
distinguished and adorned. And the
same rule holds good in all countries
and centres of Masonry. But, after all,
the good conferred upon society by that
broader spirit of benevolence or charity
which has to do with what is higher
and more important in many respects
than almsgiving, gives Masonry the
strougest claim to the title of “Public
Benefactor.” Tho amount of suffering
in this poor world of ours, resulting
from physical destitution, great as it
may be, and imperatively as it may call
for relief, is incalculably less than that
arising from the want of that chaiity of
feeling—sympathy —with one another,
which goes so far to cheer each strug
gling heart. There is much of sad truth
in the poet’s lines :
“ How little and how lightly.
We care for one another!
How seldom and how slightly
Consider each a brother! *
For all the world is every man
Ti his own self alone,
And all beside no better than
A thing ho doesn’t own,
“ And, oh! the shame and sadness,
To see how insincerely
The heart that in its gladness
Went forth to love men dearly
Is chilled, and all its warmth repelled
As but a low mistake,
And half the cordial yearnings quelled
It felt for others’ sake!
The “charity” of Masonry, as we have
said, sets itself in direct and determined
hostility to this mutual inhumanity to
man. Then who can deny that for our
race it has done wonderful things? It
has, indeed, smoothed the ragged path
way of life, mollified and toned down
tho “rough corners” of our nature, and
combined with Christianity, it has pol
ished the “rough ashler” after the simil
itude of a palace. It has hushed tho
widow’s sighs, wiped away the orphan’s
tears—relieved their distresses, extend
ed its sympathies, and cheered their
hearts—and thrown all over this land
tho hallowed influences of moral and in
tellectual light. It has hushed conten
tions and bitterness ero they ripened
into settled dislike, and practically de
monstrates the force and teachings of
the Golden Ruld—“As you would that
men should do to you do ye even so to
them.” In fact, Masonry makes it its
leading object to do away with suspi
cions, and rivalries, arid jealousies, and
misinterpretations of acts and words
that cause so much confusion, disturb
ance and misery, that is loss to the
common treasury of happiness in society,
and thus emphatically proves itself a
“Public Benefactor.”
A word to the ladies, in conclusion.
Woman, last in her devotion at the
cross and first at the sepulchre; womau.
the richest and best gift of God to man,
to soothe his sorrows, to sympathize in
the troubles and perplexities incident to
this life, to heighten bis joys aud to
augment his happiness, Masonry throws
around you its strong arm of protection
and frees you from the bondage of bar
barous custom, and places you in the
honored social position you now occupy.
If either sex should hail Masonry as a
blessing more than the other, it should
be womaD. Around her, like a mighty
bulwark, tho strongest safeguards have
been placed. By it hsr true position
defined, her rights respected, and her
interests scrupulously regarded. But
I would not suffer you to bo
your protection is not secured by the
conferring, or the reception, of that in
novation called “ Side Degress.” In
them there is no Masonry. They are
an imposition so far as they pretend to
be in any way connected with Masonry,
and any encouragement given them by
the ladies is only calculated to lessen
the respect in which it is desirable the
female character should be held by all
nen of commofl sense. An attempt to
make them Masonic is a departure from
the fundamental principles of Masonry.
The peculiar and enduring power of the
Masonic institution is attributable in a
great dcg’ec to its stability and conser
vative policy. Innovations wyitbin its
strict boundaries is generally'opposed
by its friends, but to encourage outside
structures, not making a part of the
temple and yet recognizing them as
nominal additions, is not only absurd in
theory but would prove injurious iu
practice. As it is, women are protect
ed without their special agency. If we
establish anew institution to be organ
ized and sustained by the women, it is
a virtual admission that they nro not
protected by the Masonic institution
and that they have more confidence in
themselves than they have in their
husbands and brothers as legitimate
Masons. Every Master Mason knows
that a woman cannot be made a Mason,
he cannot assist in it, he is forbidden to
do so, he has promised not to do so. It
is a fundamental law which cannot be
changed, modified, amended, or repeal
ed. Is this any disparagement to woman?
By no means whatever. Freemasonry
provides relief, supports, guards, aud
restraints for the benefit of a woman
such as no human ingenuity has ever
devised or ever will. Freemasonry,
from the time of Solomon, has recog
nized the power, goodness, tenderness,
and loveliness of woman. Freemasonry,
during all the ages of ignorance, intol
erance, and barbarism maintained the
equality of woman with man. So far
as secrecy is concerned, if it were pro
per to do so, we would as soon entrust
women with the secrets of our order as
men. The idea that women are more
faithless than men, is a miserable slan
der upon woman and an insult to Ma
sonry. We hope that our daughters
and our young female friends, if they
should marry, may marry Masons. Wo
shall feel more certaiu that they will be
tenderly treated, woll provided for, and
carefully nourished in sickness and in
health. For a good and true Mason
must and will make a good husband.—
Something has been done and can be
done for woman. Every Master Mason
should be provided with a diploma at
his raising, aud his widow and children
should be provided with another at his
death. “Side Degrees”, and all their
illegitimate brood are the father anil
mother of clandestine Masonry. Let
