able to tbe brethren, and to fear

cealed from the eyes of ail men. ee-
ccrets wbi?h can hot be divulged,
and which have never been found
out, but these secrets are lawful and
honorable, and not repugnant to
the laws of God or man. They were
intrusted in peace and honor, to tbe
Masons of ancient times, and baring
been faitbfnliv transmitted to os, it
is our duty to convey them unim¬
paired less oor to Craft tbe latest was good, posterity. and Uo* oar
calling honorable, we should not
have lasted for so many centuries,
nor sbonld we have been honored
with tbe patronage of so many illus¬
trious men in all ages, who have
ever shown themselves ready to pro¬
mote our interest and defend ns
against all adversaries.
"We are assembled here today in
the face of yon all, to build a house,
which we pray God may deserve to
prosper, by becoming a place of coo*
course for good men, and promoting
harmony and brotherly love
throughout the world, till time shall
be no moie. Amen!"

Tbe Maeons and spectators then
