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. 11. T. Jennings, Secty. 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.
