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.
