An Address Delivered before Fergus Lodge, F A M , and cinzens of Logans viile, on tbe anniversary of St John tbe Evangelist, on tha ?Bth of December. 1885, aid publishea by request of tbe Lodge and ci/izens. BY B. D. WINN. Friends and Brethren. —We celebrate to dav, tbe Aniversary of one of our “Patron Saints, St. John tbe Evangelist. The 27th of December, was the natal day of this emiuent Christ tiau and distinguished exemplar of Free Masonry, in the age in which he lived, and the yearly re turn of that day is observed as the {petal day with our fre'ernity throughout all cristendom. That other St. John, St. John the Baptist, was cotemporary with John the Evangelist in all his good works having for their object the chrisizing of the people, and the emelioration of their race. So closely were they allied in every good work, and the names of each so closely dentified in the New Testament, and in Eciesiasti oal H'story thai when the name of the one is pronounced, ihe ether comes prominently to view. Si. John the Baptist's day oc curred on the 24>h of June, and that of the Evangelist on the 27th of December. The memory of these illustrious personages is embalmed m tbe hearts of every intelligent Freema son, both for their minisirations-: for Christ's Kingdom upon earth, aud for their aduerance and sup port i f the tenants of our time honored Institution. Hence they were our “Patron Bain Is,' in Masonry and we cele brate the annual retain of their naial days with appropriate cere monies and hearty rejoicings. „ The lapse of more than two thousand years with their varied cycles have come aud gone and yet their names live, and will live while the word of God endures and the Soriptures are the Chris-' dans Polar sitar, and to the end of time. 1 The one wae especially the fore runner of the Saviors advent up on his important mission to our world, and by him was adminis tered ihe ordinance of Baptism ;so graphically described in the Gospels of the New Testament. The one preached the coming of Christ, in the wilderness of Ju dea and called men to repentance by divine direction, baptising all who came into him confessing their sins. His manners was ascetic and aastere, and he subsisted for the tim« on locusts and wild hon ey* The other John was the bosom friend of our Lord, and was des ignated among bis deciples as the one whom Jesus loved. For his testimony of the Savior he was banished to the Isle of Patinos, where ne had wot delful 1 visions of Clod in which it is be lieved that prophecies fullfiileu will become more interesting to the church of Christ to the end ol t'me. His Epistles are full of love and kindness, and his “Revelations at Patmos” are the grandest that the finite mind can conceive, and the Deity alone can fully compre hend. But enough of this for the present The moat of you are familiar with the high religious and mins ißterial character of the St. John s and their important mission upon tne earth so fully detailed in tho scriptures, but few of you perhaps are cognizant of their connbc ion with Freemasonry and the impor tant aids rendered by them to this Ancient Order. This wo have from traditions, Banded down from generation to generation through the shadowy centuries of near two thousand years These illustrious par sonages were cotemporaries and ther lives in goodness to their race were parallel. The aunaver sary of their natal day, the 24th lof June, and <he 27<h of Decem ber is observed oy tbe craft While the St. John’s were eo temporaries in the grand work of Religious instiuctions, of that early age. they were also cunt ecu pciary in AncieiA craft, Masonry and were its devoted patrons. The Evangelist completed by bis learning what he Baptist com pleted by bis zeal. I will be persuaded to make tbe following quo atiou from Moors M agtizine, wnich with all intellis gent is recognized as authentic Masonic History. From the building of the first Temple at Jerusalem to the Baby lonish Captivity. Freemasons lodges were dedicated to King Solomon. From thence to the coming of the Wesiah they were dedicated to Zernbbabei, tne builder of the second temple, and from that tune to the final de struction of the Urnple, by Titus they vere dedicated to St. Johu the Baptist; Out owing to the mary massacres and disorders which attended that memorable event, Freemasonry sunk very much inio decay. Many lodges were entirely broken up, and but few oouid meet in sufficient num bers ao constitute iheir legality; and at a general meeiing of the cralt held in the city of Benjamin it was observed thaS th principal reason for tbe decline of Mason ly was the want of a Grand Master to patronize it. Tuey therefore deputised seven of their mo.-t emi nent members to wait upon Sf' t/ohn the Evangelist, who at this time was Bishop, of Ephesus, re queuing him to take the office of Grand Master. He retuineifor answer that hough well stricken iu years (b«ing upwards of ninety) he would :ake upon himself that office. Ge vhei efore completed by his learning, wiiat the Baptist had compited by his zeal- Bmce then, ail Masonic lodges hayo been dedicated both to 81. John the Baptist and St. John the Evange lise . I come now <o say, that in ad dition to the St. John’s many other illustrious persons both bes fore, and after their time were en courugers and promoters of our time honored institution. Anterior, was King Salomon, Hiram, King of Tyre, Hiram, the widow's son and many otners scarse less illustrious. Pasterior, was Washington, Benjamin Frank lin, LaFayette. Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, and Garfield. Be sides. these might be numbered a host of Christian men and curis tian ministers throughout the world. Baptists, Metuodisis, Presbyterians, Lu herans and of all other religious organizations throughout the world The Heir apparent to the Throne of England to-day presides over the Masons of England as their Grand Mas ter. W'e point to these lllusir i ous personages in no spirit of boast. It is a ttaoism taught in our school. “That Masonry regards no man on account of his worldly wealtb or honor. If is the internal and not the external qualifications of a man that Ma sonry regards.” The poorest man that walks your streets or roams your highway, if he is hon est, truthful, and ol good repute is upon a level with us as wiih th 6 learned, the honored aud the rich. Whatever our condition in life, if we obey the precepts taught in our lodges, in the language of cur Poet Laureat. “We meet upon th» level, act upon the plum Ami part upon the square. But Freemasoury as already re ferred to, has had its dark days- Bui, “amid the wreck of matter and the crush of worlds,’’ the fall of Empires and the w iping out of dynasties; the desolating wars of the ancient and of modern times, through the long lapse of six thousand yeais if hos survived them all and came from *he con flicts without the smell of fire up on its garments. •As some tall cliff that lifts its awful form , Swells from the vale and midway leaves the storm, Though round its base the rolling , dowds are spread, Kteroal sunshine settles on its head- In all ages perhaps it has had its enemies amt opposers. But so has the religion of the Bible; so bad the Savior when upon the earth; so bad that grand Apostle Our Own Section —He Labor For Its Advancement. LAWRENCEVILLE GA February 16 18c6 of the Gentiles, the God like Punk. The old Pope of Rome has ricent ly thundered his anathemas against us That old prelate is as powerless to do us harm as the ripple of a liny wave against the base of Gibraltar. The old Pope is a dotard and is last loosing ins hold upon his adherents. And soon i> will b - said of him as it was said of Beau Swiss iu lib last days. ‘lu life's last scenes what prodigies surprise, Fears of tbe brave aud follies of the wise, From Marlborough's eyes what streams of d olage flow, AJi»l swift expires a dri.citing and a show In this day, and in our own sec lion there are some who oppose us. They, “like Angel, visits, are dow few and far between.’" Their oppositions grows out of ignor a nee and I puss them is tender ly as I may by admonishing them never io oppose a thing you know noihing about. But I am asked: “Do you consider yonrs a re’igi ious orgnniAaization?’’ I answer, no, but we consider it a moral or ganization and the hand made cf religion o„ly. AH eur teachings are strictly withiu tbe moral law. \. man i& en joined to be true in his marital re latious; to be good to his wife: to r ear bis children to be intelligent and useful citizens and fit them for the relative duty that will be incumbent npon them as such, both in church and in State in af ter life, to be true to the govern ment of the country in which they live. H e enjoin upon him to be h sobei, iruthfui man; faithful iu all his obligations as a citizen, as a husband, as a parent and as a parent, and as a neighbor- There are especially “three gieat duties we are charged to in culate Ist to God, 2nd io our neighbors, 3rd to ourself. To God, in never mentioning His Name, bgc with that reverential awe that is due from the creature to hi* creator, to implore His aid in all onr laudible undertakings, and to esteem Him as the chief, good to our neighbor in acting upon the square and doing unto aim what we would huve him do unto us; and to ourtielyes in avoid ing all irregularities and intemper ance, that would debase our facul ties and bring a reproach upoL oir profession.” The word of God had made the man of our council, and no lodge can be held without the open Bi ble upon our a Tars- No mat. can be made a Mason unless Le ex presses a belief iu 6Jod, therefore all atheists aie excluded. We make no religious tests, A man may be a Methodibt, VSaptist, Presbyterian or entertain any re ligious belief whatever. His Pol itics are never called in qestion. He may be a democrat or he may be a republican. Religious creeds and Potities and their discussion is strictly prohibited in our lodges. Every man has a right to his opin ions upon these “and none dare to hinder or make him afraid.’’ But you say you have some bad menbi your lodges! So you huve in all your churches! Is this a reason that Masonry is wrong? Tne same parity of reasoning would unchristian ize all your churches. There are, no doubt some base Judeans that would betray our lodges for 30 pieces of silver. And their are base judeans that would betray your churches for the same filthy lucre. Among our Lord’s twelve cho sen Deciples there was a judas, aud that base judean has success ors down to tbe present day no doubt. Don’t find iault with us for this, for, “you might be tred ing upon buriDg plan shares with out cinders to cover them.” Notwithstanding this the ebris tian chuJch is the salt of theear'h, and next to this is the insutution of free Masomy. A man may be a good Mason and not a Christian, but if he is a good Christian he will be a better mason. But you say again you object to us because ours is a secret so ciety, and say fun her, that if our aims, objects, and principles be I good, why do you keep them se l cret ? ' Jt is true that we have some secrefs that outsiders cannot know. But we have very few t secrets Onlv our signs, pass words and modes of recognition, jby which wn know each other as ' Masons; and these, my friends,wire j all the secrets we have. These, t I should think, ought not to be a j bug-bear to r man of ordinary iu teligence. These aie necessary for the maintaiuance of our organization, and by these we avoid being im, posed upon. Our principle, aims, and objects are promulgated to the world and may be read of all men. Our Constitutions, By-laws and Lodge teachings are contain ed ir thie Book, which, if you will, you may read and judge for your self. Hence your objection on this point is a falacy, and you ought t> be ashamed of such an objection.. An other class who oppose us, and at the present day a small class, lam glad to know, aie the ladies. jThis opposition of aU others is tne strangest and most unreasonable and can be account ed for upon the following grounds only : There is a class of ladies who are unwilling for their husbands to know anything that they can’t know, and yet. perhaps, they know some things they ate unwill ing for fbeir husbands to know. They say they are excluded from a participation iu the lodges, and, therefore, have no good opinion of it. I make bold to say, the ladies should be tue very best friends of Masonary, and should dl sire that (heir male relative should belong to the craft. All Free Masons aie ooundfoi the protection of women, and in numerable instances of such pro tection has been afforded and the moving cause never know, for with us the injunction is mani fest. “Let not your left hard know what your right hand do etb.” But it has been said, bus said by old bachelors, that most wo men are hard to please, ami some of them can’t be phased at all. I wiil Lot endorse the accusation or deny it, nevertheless Lor 1 Byron thus eloquently gives us a rytham ou this subject : “O, woman, iu our hours of ease, Uncertain, coy and hard to please. And fiekel as the shade l>y the quiv eriug Aspen made, When pain and anguish wring the brow, A ministering angel thou.” It has been charged that we are bound to support each other right or wrong. This is net true but utterly false, We defend and protect a broth er when he is right, but if he be comes a bad man in his morals and conduct we shut our doors upnn him forever unless he reforms and hold no Ma-onic communication wilh him. What I have said, is intended as no defence of our institution. It needs no defence. If the long galxy of illustrious names, who have bowed at our a/tar, and drank at our fountain is not a deience against all the accusations of otxr enemies, ttien ihey would not be lieve, thougtx one rose from the dead. Virtue, morality and brotherly love, are the joweled pass words, that bind us together. Thtse are iuculcated from the time we enter the threshold and to the end. A sympathetic nature, and a benevolent nature is characteristic of the true Mason. To be fiiend ly to each other is only the bill way of duty. “Every human be ing has a claim upon our kind offices,’’ The poor and the r.eady and destitute of onr race has a claim us. Our pilgrimage here is of short duration, and 800 n we shall have to render an account of the deeds done in the body. “Be mindful to entertain strang ers, for thereby ye may entertain Angels unawares,” is a Scripture injunction not to be ignored. A man is not to be judged by Ifie clothes he wea v s. The finest dre«sed man on your streets may be the boss of a a “pick po?Ret” clan. The converse is forci >ly ex pressed in the song of the “Wiz zard Oil’* man : “There’s many a coat that is tat tei—l and torn, B. l bene; til lies u true, holiest heart ; j ml because he’s uot dressed like his neighbors iu silk, Why, society keeps them apart On one fortune smiles, while the other one fails, No mutter wluit venture he tries ; ’Till death, in the end, cays them both to tile grave, And six feel ol earth make them bot h of one size. To the strugglirg poor, the aid of all good Masor, and all good men as wel., should be extended. Kmd words, especially to the uu fortunate, is like Apples of Gold in pictures of Silver. A kind lit tle talk has often had a wonder ful ietluence for good upon many of the neglected outcasts of our ir.ee. Shall 1 give you some examples ! John B. Gough, iu his youth, was a drunken vagabond, who travers ed the streets of Boston. In that city was a pious shoe-maker, who. one morning on his way to church came m contact with the lialf-in ioxicatbd young man. Turning to him. and faking him by tho hand, iu kind words he said to him : “John, get up and go with me to church and be a better man." He was unused to such kind words, und they impressed him. In reply he said: “Mr. Jobes I would take your advice, but 1 am in noffx to ao to church. ’’ Afior a little more pursuunion in that same kind vay, he consented, and accompanied the good shoe maker The kind wolds of Mr. Joues, had prepared his mind lor the good influence of the sermon, ard from that good Bay his refor* matier. was commenced, m.d soon he became a member of the shoe makers church, and to day John B. Gough is the grandest lecture r of Temperance and morality op the American continent. Excuse me if I give at other illustraiion, The late William Wirt was a drunken youth, that revelled through the streets of Baltimore: His habits were so reprehensible, by his debauchery that he was shuoed by every body except his degraded class. Ly ing on the street, on a hot bum mer day, beastly drunk, with his faco upturned, and the hot sun pouring its rays upon it, a youug lady in passing him, «and seeing bit. condition, in sympathy spread her handkerchief over his face to shade it from the sun’s burning beams. Upon awaking be found the handk rchtef hud been placed upon him by some kind hand, and upon it he found the name of the young lady marked upon it, he at once took in the whole situation. This littlo act of kindness, at once changed the entire man, and from the drunken debauch he became the great William Wirt, who after wards was the learned Attorney General of one of the early Admin istrators, and as a jurist has never beeu surpassed and rarely equal ed. Coining nearer home, and in our own State I give you as an illustxation ox tlie point 1 am dis cussing, the case of our late i’.lus trious citizen, Alexander H, Ste pben3, whom we all delighted to honor In bis yorth ho was a poor, frail boy, without means and without health and an invalid from his cradle. Some kind hearted mac, seeing ‘tie brightness and promise of his yonng mind, and at ttio same time knowing the icabil ity of his father 'O give him school iug, decided to educate him, and did so, ard by this act of benevo lence they gave to Georgia, and the country, one of the brightest intellects and far-seeing States maa that our grand oid State has known, making a i epuiationthat was know throughout our own continent and throughout Europe, Every dollar spent in his educa tion was refunded by him to these good men with interest. From the time Mr. Stephens attained to bis majority and entered into pros porous business, he at once com insnced his grand scheme of bunt ing out poor boyß, and educating them, and these, during his life amounted to scores Many of them becoming the best and most useful citizens of the State. I have seen a number of them, some in the Hulls of Legislature, others iu the great conventions of the people and in various other assem blies of the people, These, hon ored him more than his acknowl edged wisdom and patriotism as a JOHN T. WILSON, Jb., Publisher statesman—however exa'ted in these, and is his best eulogy. Gov. Joseph Brown is an other striking instance on ibis point. Coining to Georgia iu his early boyhood, he earned bis liviDg by bawling wood to Ddhlemega, on a little cart drawn by a bull yearl ing. A man of means, and more than that, of big heart, seeing his struggles with poverty, and his pluck under difficulties, aided him by his counsels aud his means, and Gov Brown, to day is at the head of the list of S'atesmeu and the wealthiest citizen of the State. While you, my btetheren and friends, may not be able to do as much as in the cases refered to you can. by kindness and good counsels encourage and stemnlate poor boys that thereby may make men that will honor the State aud bless four memory when you are dead.

It is rare that literary men ware tiamonds, but I see fhia mau is bedecked with them." ‘Oh, yes, for he can affo r d it. His income is very large, and I can tell you wha.'s a faeft, his woiks are read in .every town in the country, ‘I would like to have an intro dact’on to him,’ said the colonel who takes great interest in litera ture, having written an article en titled ‘The Time to Organize,’ and signed ‘Many Voters.’ ‘He won Ino doubt be pleased to meet you,’ the captain replied, ‘for I found him so be remarkably social,’ ‘What magazine does he write for ?' ‘Bless yon, he wonW not write for a magazine.

One of our German contempo rararies devoted recent ly some space to the experiments of one procopious Diwitch, and details a number cf interesting devices pro duced by him. Among them the tightning rod occupies a promi nent position, aud Diwishcu’s biography claims for him the pri ority of invention in this field, on the strength of the fact that he erected such a contrivance in his garden in 1754. So far as dates are concerned Dtwisch can by no means be counted as the orig inal Jacob in the lightning rod business, as tbs thing had beeu done some time before by several others, and the idea of drawing sparks from the clouds had been suggested by FranKlin iu 1749 Indeed, records show that before Diwiscb’B date two houses in Phil adelphia were struck by light Ding during a thunder storm, aud the oc6 protected by lightning rods was not injured, while tbe other was severely damaged.—Eloctri • cal World.
