I assure ~ you we appreciate fully the favor which is i being conferred upon us in having the cor- ner stone of our new church laid with Masonic honors. We are also indebted to the officers of the Grand Lodge and other Masonic brethren for the kindly interest manifested by their presence in such goodly numbers. There is, I take it, an exquisite propriety in haviug’this ceremony perform- ed in this way. It is not only most agree- able to the members of St James’ Church, but it is, I believemin keeping with the tra- ditions and history of Masonry. While, no doubt, the origin of Free Ma- sonry is lost amid the unrevealed records of the dim and distant post, yet this, at least, is known, that it was originally a fraternity of practical builders. It is also agreed that much of its early work was of a distinctzy religious character. In Phoe- nicia, whose capital cities were Tyre and Sidon, there existed a semi-religious society I to which I believe modern Masonry is re- lated, known as the “ Dionysiau Architects.” Their founder had migrated to Europe from Edward VII“ as ’ God save the. the other by Dr. . Gould, on behalfof' the reeve and mom « Egypt as early as 1500 B. 0., and thenea his followers went to Asia some 300 years later. The influence upon the ancient world of the» wisdom. and‘ skill of‘the bro- therhood wasg-reat. The raisingrof costly temples to the gods, the building of rich palaces in which dwelt the kings and nobles of the-land, and the erection of walls and‘ citadels to strengthen their cities were some .of the works of this fraternity. But the wisdom and skill of these early builders did. not only find expression in structures-erected fer the comfort and am- bition of heathen kings and peoples. It rose to a. much higher plane. Josephus tells us that the temple at Jerusalem was built on the same plan, in the same style and by the same architects as the temples oi Herculesrand Astarte at Tyre. And this is confirmed'by a far greater authority than Josephusâ€"the authority of God’s Word. We read that Hiram, king of Tyre,sent cun- ning workmen to aid King Solomon in the erection of the temple. True, Masonry is no longer an association of practical build- ers, but this does not lessen the importance ofits work. It has laid aside its operative character and become a purely moral and benevolent association. And in its efiorts to ennoblc and educate, to purify and help mankind, it bears a strong resemblance to the Christian Church. It is the claim of Masonry that its members are craftsmen still, but the work they are now engaged in is for eternity. They are preparing and upbuilding “ living stones" for “ that spirit- ual building, that house not made with hands, eternal in. the. heavens.” The day will come when “ every man’s work shall be tried of what sort it is.” And‘ as we stand in.tbe light of" His presence who is the great “Master Builder,”'we shall listen for no other voice and fear no other blame, for, gazing into the eternal future, we shall know, as Kipling has it, that “Only the Master shall‘ praise us, .. And only the Master shall blame, And no one shall work for money, And'no one shall work for fame ; But each with the joy of the working, And each in his separate star Shall work with the skill ofa craftsman For the God of.t.hings as they are.” Izheve pleasure, most worshipt'ul‘ sir, in presenting you with this trowel for your use in laying this porner stone, and also as a..-token otour esteem.

Representingsas youdo the oldest and‘ most widely-disseminated Fraternal Society among- the many now vicingwith each other in their efforts to ameliorate the con- dition of the unfortunate or distressed members of'the human family, and having . in your membership some of. themost dis- tinguished men ofevery civilized country, philanthropists and philosophers of every creed and party eminent in the distribu-: tion of public as well as private charity, we deem it. a privilege to embrace this op- poatunity to offer this slight evidence of respect, and‘to express the hope that in the future, as in the past,your noble order may continue to aid in spreading; blessings of consolationnnd,substantialhelp in time of need: Referring again toithe reason of your Epresence with us, I suppose we may assume ‘that our Episcopal friends, in choosing you. on this auspicious occasion of the complet- ing of the foundation of their new: church by the laying of the corner-stone, had in view the propriety.of,having;tbis done by a Master Masou,,mtlrer than, as some do, en- '-'trust it to .a. novice, who might not handle the troweljgracefully and skilfully, as we may presume all good Masons can.do..

A- Word VGirls. The following is from the New York Outlook. Every girl and every mother of a girl should paste it up somewhere â€"on her looking-glass, for instance,â€" M where she is sure to see itft’bquentlyz, and, having learner] it by heart, should‘ govern herself in accordance with its. precepts: "Every girl ought, to understand: that she is respected in the exact degree to winch she is inaccessible to any kind of familiarities, and that it isimpossible- for a woman, if she wishes to secure] not only confidence, but admiration, to- hold herself too sacred; and it is the-- fundamental duty of every mother to. protect. her daughter by instilling into. her an adequate idea of the relation be- tween the essential dignity ol’ woman-- hood and the conventions which protect- that dignity in social life. If American- society is to preserve in any way the- qualities which the best Americans in. every generation have instilled into. their children, there must be a far deepe er sense of responsibility on the part of! heads of families than at. present exists, There must be far less license permit-~ ted; there must be far more judicious-â€" and rational supervision.” “ Busy Kawarlliaf‘ The Bobcaygcon Independent says 1.: “ The large influx of tourists to the» Kawartha Lakes reminds us all of its. growing popularity as asummer retreat. Each day the G. T. R. depot and T. V‘. N.’ wharves present a very busy scenc._ Tourists arrive daily bound for the- many resorts on the lakes. Indications. poi’nt strongly to a general increase in. Tourist trade this season. Akmuch imm. proved boat service plies between Lake- tield and Coboconk (70 miles.) A; double daily service is given, which en- ables Torontonians and others arriving; at Lindsay by G; T. R. Kawarthaytrain. to reach Bobcaygcon and other points: on the lakes the same day, while close~ connection is made- with shout-going trains at Lindsay. The natural beauty: of the Kawartha Lakes is much admitâ€"- ed by those who are visiting us this year“ for the first time. Undoubtedly the. lakes possess.,more natural scenic -grand«- ure than any other place in Ontario,., audit is avsource of more than satlsi‘uO-r tion. toknow that recognition of "that; fact is becoming apparent.
