ADDRESS OF
br. jr_ o.
W. M. OF “MORNING STAR” LODGE,
NO. 27, F. A. M.
Delivered at the Regular Meeting of
the Lodge June 10, 1870, which
was ordered by the Lodge to be
spread upon the minutes, and the
Georgia Herald be requested to pub
lish the same :
Brother Senior and Junior Warden
and Bretheren ••
In accepting the high position
of Master of this Lodge, which
you have so generously conferred
on me, allow me here, to tender
to each one of you my sincere thanks
for the honor and trust you have re
posed in me. In assuming the ac
tive duties and responsibilities of this
position, I must confess, that it is
with much reluctance that I enter
into it, knowing how little of ability
I bring to the task, and how ably this
chair has been filled by my predeces
sors, (brothers Hartsfield and Kelsey.)
The contrast, I know, will be great,
and I may fall very short of your
expectations, and yet, I did not feel
that I could refuse the honor of a
position so freely conferred. I have
always felt a deep and abiding in
terest in the welfare of this Lodge,
and hope bretheren you will pardon
me, for digressing a little, and making
some allusions to the past history and
the part I have played, in the first
inception and organization of this
Lodge. Ido this, bretheren, for the
purpose of showing you that my
feelings and interest in it, have not
been without some reason.
In the year 1842, I, together, with
our beloved, deceased, brother, Wil
liam 11. Smith, conceived the idea of
organizing a Lodge in this place, and
after much exertion, succeeded in
obtaining a dispensation. I had the
honor of proposing the name, “Morn
ing Star Lodge,” after the one, in
which I was initiated, in my native
State, some thirty-five years ago.
Having organized, under the dis
pensation, with brother Smith, as
W. M. and myself as S. W., it moved
on, prospering and to prosper, until,
I can safely say, no Lodge within the
jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge, oc
cupied a higher position, for good
work and material, than did old.
“Morning Star.” I had the honor,
also, of being its second Master, and
am proud to say, that it prospered
beyond all expectation, and did much
by its influence to neutralize the out
side prejudice of the world, which,
at that time, run high against mason
ry, by the correct and truly masonic
course of conduct of its members.
We had with us then, our best and
most worthy men, and permit me
here to say, that I have never seen
a greater moral reform, and truly
masonic feeling of brotherly love and
friendship, than was manifest at every
meeting. It was truly, a feast af re
freshing, and showed plainly, that
the principles of brotherly love per
vaded every heart.
I feel sad when I look around and
see no representative of that day but
myself in this Lodge room. The
question may be asked, where are
they ? Their vacant places will an
swer, that most of them “have gone
to that bourne whence no traveler
returns.” The tale is a sad and re
flective one, and reminds me, that I,
too, may soon follow. But I turn
from this sad subject, to the present
time, with its surroundings and ask
the question, can we not again raise
this good old Lodge, once more, to
the same exalted position she once
proudly occupied ? I mean brether
en, no reflections or disparagement
of the present status and time, for
the world, as well as masonry, has
had much to contend with, for the
last decade of years; but we must ad
mit that there is room for improve
ment in the conduct and actions of
us all, and I do hope, that every
member will henceforth strive to ex*
cel each other in all the true masonic
virtues; then, and not until then,
shall we be what we ought to bo. In
many places, bretheren, masonry has
become almost a by-word and re
proach. What is the reason of all
this There certainly can be but
one solution of the question; the
bretheren have failed to practice the
great truths taught them, and keep
ing always in view, the immutable
principles of charity, and doing unto
others as you would have them do to
you.
I have long since believed, that no
man, can be a perfect and really good
mason, unless he he a Christian. I
would not bretheren, have you mis
understand my feelings, or belief, in
this expression. The Christian re
ligion stands above all other things
as the heavens are above the earth,
and yet, masonry, if fully practiced,
makes men better, and should be a
hand-maid to religion, in teaching
every moral and social virtue, and
training the mind and heart while on
earth, to look forward, in faith to
“Him, who spake, as never man
spake,” ard who, alone can give
happiness beyond the grave. I will
not, bretheren, pursue this theme
longer, for perhaps, you have been
detained too long already.
In assuming the position, and ac
tive duties, incumbent on me, I must
bretheren, ask your kind indulgence
and assistance, for I feel, keenly, my
incompetency to discharge its duties,
I can, however, assure you, that
whatever may be my deficiences, no
one could bring with them, a greater
love and good will for the order, than
1 do, and feel, that with your assist
tance and forbearance, and with the
same feelings of love to actuate all,
we shall soon make our Lodge, one
of the best and the influences of ma
sonry he spread broad-cast over the
land, overcoming every obstacle in
its onward march in good.
Bretheren ! we have much to do,
if masonry receive no detriment at
our hands. The political, social, and
moral revulsion, which has taken
place, whithin tlie last few years, and
the desolation brought on every
household thereby, has had much to
do in depressing the order ; changes
in the civil, political and social stat
us, have been forced on us, in many
ways, and by many means ; but thank
Heaven ! the principles of-f?lLe : ordcr ,
stand unchanged, and unshaken, as
they have done in every convulsion
of the past, and will stand firm in the
general wreck of matter, and crush
of worlds. Then let every mason act
as he has been taught in this room,
and give the world no cause to say
that masonry is nothing but in name.
There is now, a greater claim on us
all, than ever before, to act and car
ry out the great principles taught us.
Your influence, for good or evil, is
great not only to masonry hut the
world, which has become demoraliz
ed and mammon reigns supreme.
No man is so humble, but that he has
great influence in his neighborhood,
if he carries always in his view and
heart, the plumb, square and level,
to guide him.
Let us try, bretheren ! to emulate
each other, in good works and words,
and prove to the world that masonry
is Catholic in its principles of charity
and good will to all, and especially to
the household of the faithful.
I hope, bretheren, you will pardon
me for the time I have consumed; I
hope, if no other good is done, it will
cause each one to reflect. The pres
ent moment and position occupied by
me, brings with it many remembran
ces of the past, and fills my heart
with emotions which I cannot express.
The scythe of time, has cut down
many, who, were once members of
this Lodge, and active co-'workers
with us, and who can, to night say,
what another year may bring forth,
nor who we shall be called on, to fol
low to the grave ? It is a sad and
sickening thought, and should teach
us all to be ready for the dread sum
mons.
Bretheren, we ought to be better
men and masons and so live, that
our last shall be our best days ! To
the officers of the Lodge, I would
earnestly appeal, for their assistance
in its government and work, and
hope that each one, will prepare him
self for the duties of his position, so
that all may move on, in harmony,
without a jar.
In operative masonry, none but
skilled workmen should direct in
building an edifice ; so in speculative
masonry, we need the same skill, in
raising the moral edifice. To the
members, let me also say, that it is
equally important, that they too,
should be prepared for any emergen
cy that might happen. Too many of
us, I fear, are content, simply to he
able, to make ourselve known aw
masons, or work into a Lodge ignor
ing and losing sight of tlie great
beauties of masonry. This is wrong,
and will never benefit him, who is
content with it, beyond the fact, of
making himself known.
The beauties of masonry, increase
with our knowledge of its sacred
teachings, and tlie influence it brings
to bear on the moral man. The more
we dive into its deep mysteries, the
more we are satisfied of its divine
origin and intention. Bretheren !
let us cherish the good, taught us,
in this Lodge and continue to seek
knowledge until it breaks on us, with
all its dazling light and fills the heart
with admiration and joy.
Bretheren ! I have detained you
too long, hut my apology is, my zeal
and love for the principles of mason 0
ry, and to stimulate you all in well
doing. Let us all try to live like
good masons. Let brotherly love
prevail, so that cemented together
with all the moral and social virtues,
we may he made fit material, for the
Master’s use, in the Temple beyond
the skies. There arc duties, which
each one of us owe to God, to mas'
onry and to ourselves, and from which
there is no absolution ; but in obeyc.
ing His commands, and following,
with unwavering faith the “ Lion of
the tribe of Juda.”
It is our duty, to correct in kind
ness and love, the vices, and immor
alities of an erring brother, and bring
him back to correct paths, and to
guard our own actions in wisdom, that
we may not he gain-said. I would
call your attention to the requiste
‘Secrecy,” its importance is too well
known to all, and needs no comment.
Punctuality in attending the regular
meetings of the Lodge, is absolutely
necessary for its prosperity and well
doing, and last, though not least, let
me impress upon the minds of all,
the necessity, of guarding well, the
outer door of the Temple, and see,
that none enter its sacred precints
but those who are worthy.
Bretheren !I am done. The mor
al character, the good and prosperity
of the Lodge, is in our hands and
keeping and on our acts, the future
will tell to what purpose, we have
lived, and to what purpose we have
used or abused the talent given us.
Let the talent, however small, not
lay idle and rust; hut let it shine,
with proper use, and bring forth
many talents at the coming of our
Master, so that each one, may be re
warded with the glad and joyful
sound, “well done, good and faithful
servant, enter thou, into the joys, of
thy Lord and the Temple of the liv
ing God.”
A true extract from the minutes.

LIQUOR AND LITERATURE—GENIUS
AND FOLLY—TALENT AND TEM
PERANCE.
Because Burns, and Byron, and
Poe sometimes drank to excess, and
even to drunkenness, we find some
half-fiedged verse*writers, and news
paper reporters, and contributors to
the magazines, steeping themselves
in liquor, pickling their persons as
though immortality consisted in be
ing preserved in spirits. We have,
in all great cities, a class of “Bohe
mians” who live from hand to mouth,
and who frequently put their hands
to their mouths in the dens of drunk
enness, who exeuse their habits oil
the ground that literary men and men
of genius need artificial stimulation
to enable them to recuperate their
exhausted vitality. These men,
without the genius or the culture of
the poets and authors whose perni
cious example they imitate, dive into
excesses, and drench themselves to
the marrow with logwood and whis
ky. The habit of New York and
Boston “bummers” hiding themselves
in the mtmtlel of great men white
they get drunk, is a startling illus
tration of the rtdiculous uniting with
the wicked, in which there is nothing
sublime, save impudence. The drink"
ing men connected with the press arc
not the men who do the best work,
nor the work, either as contib
utorsor editors. They are not con
sidered trustworthy; their brains are
in a perpetual fog ; their reports and
essays reel and stagger down the col
umns of the daily journal, new touch'
ing the line of fact, and then stumb -
ling into fiction. Cards of explana
tion, suits for libel, and a ball odor
of rum and misrepresentation follow
their literary labors. The drinking
newspaper men, like candles burning
at both ends, are soon consumed to
the wick, and their light is soon lost
in the darkness of a drunkard’s
grave. Men of genius even make tho
“mistake of a lifetime” when they
seek to exculpate themselves from
blame for the habits of intemperate
indulgence. They have no more
rights and privileges than other men;
they have no charter from nature for
violating the laws of nature. A
drunken man of learning and genius
is one of the most distgusting crea.»
tures on the face of the earth, lie
should be a pattern of propriety ; a
model man ; and he voluntarily
renders his reason, his imagination,
his taste, his scholarship and throws
himself a loathsome sacrifice on the
altar of Bacchus.
Society cannot afford to wink at
the drunkenness of men who claim
leadership in the world of letters.
When a great man gets drunk, he is
a great drunkard ; and he is just as
foolish, and wicked, and loathesome,
as any other drunkard. Indeed, he
is worse ; having more light, lie has
less excuse for his vile practice. The
men who do the most work, and who
w r ork in the best way, are abstemi
ous men. William Cullen Bryant is
a man of genius, and he writes poet"
ry without the inspiration of wine.
Horace Greeley is a man of talent;
he is the soul and heart of the Tri
bune ; and he can write his three col
umns a day without the aid of alcohol,
doing his task infinitely better than
any wine-sipping subordinate on the
staff of any paper. Henry Ward
Beecher, Dr. T. L. Cuyler, Dr. John
Hall, are distinguished speakers,
laborious workers, and'they need no
stimulation from the vat and the still
to assist them in their labors.— r lhe
National Temperance Advocate.
Spring Diseases. —As the weather
gets warmer, less food is needed to
keep the body warm. We, in our
blindness, endeavor to keep up the
same heat—to burn as much internal
fuel in July as in January. If we do
eat as much, the system cannot ap
propriate it; it is rejected—it is cast
out; but in making the effort to cast
it out, natural force is expended
wdiich ought to have been saved,
weakening ourselves unnecessarily
while we were weak and languid be
fore ; and these were the very feelings
which prompted us to be doing some
thing to make us feel better, to im
prove our general condition, and to
increase our strength. The means
we used were to foice upon the stom
ach much larger amounts than were
craved, thus imposing upon that much
abused organ the additionnl labor,
not only to expend the strength of
the system unnecessarily, but to cause
irritation, and fevers, and inflamations,
which bring wreck and ruin to thous
and every spring and summer; the
deaths in the warm months are nearly
double those in the cooler ones of
October and November. Health in**
creases in the autumn. The health,
and strength, and bodily enjoyments
of all communities increase as the
weather begins to cool in the first days
of October ; the appetite gradually
improves, because Nature sees that,
as the weather is getting cooler out
side, there must be more fuel con
sumed within, and she instinctively
calls for more food; and the strength
increases proportionally. Hall's
Journal of Health.
