having ’earned the principles of our holv reli
g.cn from their author himself-hc has trans
them to , us <“ a manner calculated to
1: . ever * v * ieart ’ ai| d to awaken all the
lively sympathies of our nature.
a participant in the daily sufferings of our
aviour awi ness to the glorious trunsfiou
ration on the Mount—to the bloody a-mny in
the garden— to the cruel death on the cross—
to the glorious resurrection anti ascension—to
the wonderful out-pouring of the holy spirit,
when it came as the rushing of a mighty
wind—he has portrayed these scenes with
singular truth and beauty. Ilis gospels and
epistles are lasting and invaluable monuments
ot his spiritual knowledge and deep piety, as
well as of his divine inspiration, while his
book of Revelations must rank him among
the profbundest of the prophets.
Through an eventful life of about an hun
dred years, no dangers or difficulties could
daunt—no cruelties or bloody persecutions
appal his noble spirit. True to the principles
of his master, he bore with humble resigna
tion all the reproach and ignominy cast upon
his sect. His patient endurance of exile, pov
erty, and persecution, is worthy of imitation ;
and his reward should give strength and en
couragement to tiie faint heart whose aspi
rations are heavenward. Os all the Apostles
he alone was permitted to die a natural death.
Having survived a whole century, the vener
able old man was quietly gathered to his
fathers, leaving behind him a character sa
cred to every principle of virtue and religion.
Ha ving thus briefly sketched the history of,
him whose anniversary we this dav celebrate,
let us review the fundamental principles of
our institution, and scan, for a moment, our
duties as Masons.
Although masonry embraces the wide circle
of lhe arts and sciences, yet her motto is.
“ JVon doctior sedmelinre imbtitus doctrina
esteeming the individual who contributes most
to the happiness of men, as the best and most
useful member of society. Wc shall there
fore consider the institution only in a moral
point of view, as calculated to guide os to
truth, direct our paths to the temple of hap- j
piness, and to point out the whole doty of
man.
In this light it will be found reared upon its
proper basis, and adorned only with its na
tive beauties. A Mason who is thoroughly
acquainted with the tenets and nature of this
institution, ranks it among the first of human
origin, as inculcating the purest of moral
principles, and as having a powerful tendency
where strict discipline is judiciously adminis
tered, to improve the morals of the members,
and to open and expand their hearts to acts
of charity and pure benevolence.
Those who elevate masonry to a level with
revealed religion, and those who rank it lie
low the standard of pure morality, tire equally
unaeqainted with its true object. Our insti
tution is in fact, founded upon the moral law
ol God ; and the first instruction imparted to a
ju r ’ *r member, is to put his trust in the Su
premo Being, and to square his actions bv
lhe Holy Scripture as the only infallible role
and guide of his faith and practice. He is
taught that the four ground pillars which
support our temple are Temperance, Forti
tude, Prudence and Justice. A temperance
which not only restrains our animal appetites,
hut puts a curb upon our affection.? and pas
sions, restraining them within proper hounds,
and strengthening us against the seductive al
lurements of vice. Tell me not of the intem
perance of some who bear the outward marks
of a Mason. The visible signs may iirleed
i>e upon them, but they are not in truth Ma
sons; nor should their misconduct and evil
doing any more bring reproach upon our
order, than the canting, whining hypocrite
upon the holy sanctuary of God, which he
pollutes.
Fortitude, another cardinal virtue of ma
sonry, a steady purpose of mind, which ena
bles us to fulfil our arduous duly to ourselves,
our neighbors, and our God, is one of the no
blest attributes of the human mind. Without
faltering it meets every difficulty, encounters
every obstacle, inspires energy in affliction,
gives resignation in death. 11 has sustained
the persecuted upon tlie rack, and accompa
nied the noble army of martyrs to the stake ;
with Masons it is a safeguard or security
against any illegal attacks that may be made
to extort from them any ol*those valuable se
crets with which they have been so solemnly
entrusted.
To temperance and fortitude must be added
prudence, without which our present as well
as future happiness must he greatly endan
gered. It is a virtue as far removed fiom
cowardice as from rashness. It is but the
dictate* of sound reason, and is said to be a
iteculiur characteristic of every Mason, not
only in the Lodge, but when abroad in the
world, tending more than every other quality
to the preservation of the secrets of ancient
free masonry.
To all these must be added Justice, or a
strict and undeviating adherence to the golden
rule, to do unto others as weWould that others
should do unto us.
These, brethren, are the fundamental prin
ciples of our institution. Adorn them with
brotherly love, relief and truth, growing out
of faith in God, hop i in immortality, and that
eharity which shall live when “ every fire, ofj
every star, shall languish and expire,” and
you complete the true masonic character.
Li*t our brotherly love, while it binds all
Masons of every clime and nation under the
wide spread canopy of heaven together as one
family, and imposes the most sacred obliga
tions to aid, support an 1 protect each other,
extend its wide and philanthropic embraces to
the whole human species. Lei the liberal hand
be ever wide outspread to relieve the wants
of the distressed, sooth the unhappy, pour the
balm of consolation into the troubled mind,
uncj sympathise with the unfortunate. Such]
re oitr duties as Masons—first to the mem- j
bers of our own fraternity, and their families
.—secondly to the whole human species.
Above all, brethren, cultivate the divine at
tribute, truth; to be false is to sap the foun
dation of every virtue, and to break asunder
pvery bond bvWhich man is bound to man—
abjure hypocrisy and deceit, and let truth
and sincerity characterize every action.
The greatest and best of men in all ages
have been encouragers and promoters of our
*rt. Nor have they deemed it derogatory to
their dignity to level themselves with the lra
ternitv, extend their privileges, and patronize
their assemblies. The great evangelist whose
anniversary we this day celebrate, Solomon,
reputed the wisest of men, and the chosen 01
God, the immortal W ashington, first in war, j
first in peace, and first in the hearts of his
countrymenand in n word, the wisest,)
best, and noblest of our species in every ago
and clime have with ardent zeal encouraged,
and promoted our well a re. 1 have now the
honor to wear a masonic badge, once worn by
by one whose whole life was spent in the sa
cred cause of freedom and of man ; one who
early threw aside the alluring blandishments,
of wealth —the enticing honors of royalty, and
rushed even from the tender embraces of a
young and affectionate with to lrattle with a
tyrant foe in defence of the liberty we now
enjoy. In this brief sketch, brethren, you
cannot fail to recognize the honored Lafay
ette, whose memory must be ever dear to
every patriot heart. We might spend hours
in a bare enumeration of such individuals,
■who, during their lives, not only gave sanc
tion and support to the institution, but adorn
ed our principles bv formation o! chat'UC-
tors on which tlie impartial pen of the liisto
“an may delight to dwell, With few dark spots
to pardon or condemn. To give character,
influence, and respectability to this fraternity,
follow the light of these great luminaries who
have proceeded us—practice out of the Lodge
those high duties which are taught in it —and
by annable, discreet, and virtuous conduct,
convince mankind of the goodness and utility
ol our institution. Develope to the world a
character whose band is ever guided by jus
tice, and a soul expanded by the purest be
nevolence, to whom the burlhened heart mav
pour out its sorrows, and distress prefer its
suit.
Brethren, we have been charged with ev- j
ery thing abhorent in principle, and abomina
ble in practice, with being leagued together 1
lor the destruction of religion and govern
ment, and have been termed atheists, blas
phemers, and the dupes of nonsense. But
while we discharge the duties and principles!
ol our profession with integrity and truth, the :
envenomed shafts of malice will fall harmless’
at our feet, and our minds will feel that ease
and safely which alone results from conscious
virtue.
An institution which recommends submis- j
sion to the laws of our country, adoration to
the supreme God of nature, universal benevo
lence, and every virtue that can endear us to I
each other, which conveys instruction to the
mind, and expels rancour, hatred and envy,
and every unruly passion, and binds all ifs fol
lowers in the bond of good will, is certainly
worthy of all praise and encouragement.—
Such is the society of free and accepted Mix- I
sons.
To my fair auditors permit me to say it is
yours to smile upon and cheer the heart of
man in all his efforts in the cause of humanity, j
elevated by the mild genius of civilization to
your native station, even you cannot estimate 1
your own deep, silent, all pervading influence ;
it circulates through the minutest ramifica- i
tions of the social system; it lisps in the in- j
nocent prattle of the infant, and swells in the ;
glowing bosom of youth; it livesatthe cheerful
fireside, and breathes in all the common con- j
cerns of life; it speaks, in tones of thrilling eio-’
qtience, in our legislative halls, and is felt even ‘
amid the clamor of arms and Ihe roar of ar
tillery. Think not then, ye fair, because vou ;
are not admitted to membership, that you are i
forgotten, or your interests neglected. The j
j widow and the orphan constitute the peculiar ;
: care of the fraternity. But the chief orua
menl of the masonic character, charity,is with
you a native virtue; nor do your tender hearts
require the adventitious aid of mystic institu- j
tions to stimulate to action the benevolent \
sympathies of your nature. The soft tear of j
pifv bedews your cheek at the tale of wo;!
and your gentle bosoms heave with lender!
emotion at the exhibition of human wretched- !
ness.
Your own pure hearts are the Lodges in
which virtue presides, and the dictates of her
will is your only incentive to action.
Bless us then with your approving smiles,
and duty will become pleasure—the rugged
path of life smooth—and flowers shall strew
our wav.
Worshipful master, warders and officers
elect, you have been called by the free suf
frages of the brethren to preside over the des
tinies ol Columbian Lodge during the ensuing
year. You are now about to lake upon I
yourselves the insignia of office ; in doing so
you assume high responsibility ; lor to you we i
shall look l’or instruction by example as well i
as precept; be then as a city set. upon a bill, ;
that cannot he hid, and let your light so shine j
that all may he constrained to say that ina- ]
sonry is something more than a name. Most
worshipful Grand Master and brethren of Co
lumbian Lodge we have many and important
duties to perforin. The eyes of the world are
upon us, and the result, of the observation
cannot be of a negative character; it is for
good or for evil. Let os then, under the di
rection of the Supreme architect for the uni
verse, he true amt faithful to our principles,
and we shall stand like the ocean rock over
which the storm of human passions shall
harmless sweep; and against which the
mountain billow of prejudice shall spend its
force in vain—even amid all the blindness and |
folly of ignorance—the violence of faction, and j
the rage ot fanaticism, our beautiful temple, i
devised by wisdom —supported by strength —
and adorned with beauty—shall rise
Like some tall cliff that lifts its stately form,
Swells from the vale, anti mid way leaves the storm ;
Though round its breast die rolling c'ouds are ,-preud,
Eternal sunshine settles on its head.”
Brethren I will not longer detain you from j
the interesting ceremonies of ihe day; but!
earnestly exhort you to faithfulness to the I
principles of our institution. And may your |
lives become as beautiful as the temple—
peaceful as.the ark —and sacred as its most
holy place. May your oblations of piety and
praise be as grateful as the incense—your love
warm as its flame, and your charity asdilfusive j
as its fragrance. May your hearts he as pure
as the altar, and your conduct as acceptable as
the offering; and may you, in the end, receive
the recompense of faithful servants, when the
spring of Heaven shall visit the mouldering
urn, and the light of eternity dawn on the
night of the tomb.
