, DURHAM CHRONICLE An interesting ceremony took place on the second concession of Egremont, east of Varney. on Friday afternoon last when the corner stone of the new Episcopal Church was well and truly aid by the brethren of the Masonic Lodge of this town accompanied by a. number of visiting brethren from Mt. Forest, Hanover Grand V allev, Dro- more and Preston and directed by Rt. Worshipful Bro. J. A. V. Preston, D. D. G. 31., of Orangeville. It has given me graat pleasure, in 1 the name and on behalf of the Grand: Master, whose representative I have the honor to be, to preside over this Especial Communication of the Grand Lodge of Canada, and in that capacity to assist you in laying this corner stone of St. Paul’s Church. The Church of England which you represent here to- day is an ancient and venerable branch of the Church Universal founded by I the Apostles on the day of Pentecost, and any service which ‘ the Masonic Preparations for the ceremony were made in the school house after which the Durham band led the procession to the site of the new church a half mile or so to the north. An address of welcome was delivered by the Rec- tor Mr. Bit-e. after which a beautifully engraved silver trowel was presented to the District Deputy, Mr. Preston. by the daughter of )Ir. Bice, a pretty little girl of only a few summers. The address and gift were gracefully ac- knowledged by Mr. Preston who kissed the little maid as naturally as if he were accustomed to the business. The ceremony was then performedl in true Masonic style the diffierent of-l ficers performing their respective duties with the plumb, the level and the square. At. the close of the work'- ing ceremony the District Deputy ad- dressed the large audience in the fol- lowing manner :â€" REV.

TH E Had the Church of England done nothing more than give to the world that rich treasury of devotion which you have in the Book of Common Prayer, she would have earned the lasting gratitude of the English race. Not only has she given us the Prayer Book, but she has been the chief in- strument, under God.- in preserving and handing down to us that which we justly regard as the bulwark alike of our faith and free institutions, the English Bible. when this young and vigorous Domin- ion of ours is making such rapid and gigantic strides in material develop- ment; when the race for the mighty dollar is so keen that men have little time for quiet meditation or the de- lights of literature and art; I often think that in these days the members of the Church of England do not al- ways appreciate at its true worth the priceless heritage which they possess in the grand old historic church. of their forefathers. But not only do we owe to England’s Church the Prayer Book and to a large extent the uncorrupted transmission of the Scriptures; but We are also in- debted greatly to her for those princi- ples of CODStlUltitHlal government and the common rights of person and property which are generally regarded as the inalienable heritage of every British subject. In days of old, more than twelve centuries ago, when the country. now called England was di- vided among the several kingdoms of the Saxon Heptarchy, whose chief ob- ject in life was to fight with one an- other and if possible destroy one an- other, it was the Church of England which poured the oil of sweet christian charity on the troubled waters of those days, and, by uniting the various christian dioceses in these several kin g- doms, under the primacy of Theodore, Archibishop of Canterbury, paved the way for the subsequent union of those warlike tribes, Celts, Angles, Jutes and SaXons, and the welding of them to- gether into one people, the English nation. In those days too it was the Church, which by her annual synods and various councils and con\'(‘)cations taught our forefathers how parlia- inents could be made and instructed them in the first principles of self j government. The movement then so sturdily be- gun against papal agression was con- tinued with varying success and gath- erin g force, until 320 years later, at the Reformation, the Church of England rose in her might and cast off forever all papal supremacy and other foreign control. She at the same time, with wonderful moderation and powers of self control, reformed herself within and restored her doctrines and ritual to their original purity and simplicity. And this she happily did without any break in the historic continuity which united her with the Church of the Apostles. Again 150 years later, when the hardly-won liberties of the subject were once more at stake and when a. faithless sovereign attempted to set the law at naught, the protest of the nation was: voiced by the famous re- monstrance of the seven bishops with Archibishop Sa-mcroft at their head, the result of which ultimately was the bloodless Revolution of 1688, and the establishment of the Protestant Suc- cession in England. These are a few of the leading inci- dents in the history of the Church represented here to-day, a. history so intimately interwoven with the history of the British nation that the two can- not be separated, and a history which fully justifies my opening remark that the members of the Church of England possess a priceless heritage in the his- ;toric church of their forefathers. It is therefore, with peculiar pleasure that we appear here to-day, clothed as Masons. to render to this congregation of that ancient church the service of laying this corner stone according to the rites of our ancient fraternity. Masonry is one of the most ancient and honorable institutions; ancient as having existed from time inmemorial, and honorable because it conduces to :flmake all those honorable who are. 'obedient to its precepts. Masonry. although it is not a religion and does not profess to be a religion, is distinctly religious m its teaching. _ It does not seektotake theplaoe affine church, but rather aims to be the handmaiden af’th‘eChnrch. Desoendedasit is'from the ancient guilds of operative work- men. it takes the tools which they used for the erection of stately and superb edifices of brick and stone and aPPIYS them for a still more noble pur- pose. the building of moral character. When the plumb rule was applied to: the sides of this stone to test that it was true and upright, we, as Masons, were reminded of the upright inten- tions and life of rectitude which should characterize every member of our Order. By the level which was applied to the top of the stone to prove that its surface was horizontal our thoughts are directed as well to our equality as brethren in our fraternity, as to our common humanity. or in the words of your address, our common brother- hood under the Eternal fatherhood of God, and we are reminded of the claims of our fellow man to relief and assistance in the hour of need and of our plain duty to live in harmony with 9 our neighbors and in charity with all men. The square which was applied to the several parts of this stone which should be square to .try and adjust its rectangular corners and assist in bringing it into due form, teaches us as Masons that only square and honor- able conduct through life is possible for those who would have the approval of conscience, the esteem of their fel- lowmen and the approbation of the Great Architeetof the universe. Thus the various working tools of operative craftsmen are used in Masonry to teach us those great truths which lie at the basis of every social and moral virtue and go to upbuild character and to establish the happiness of the human race. ‘Vhen we make a man a Mason we do not ask him to renounce any ,civil, moral or religious duties. \Ve I endeavor rather to impress those duties upon him 111 anew form: to make him a better man, a better citizen and a better Churclunan for being a Mason, and a better Mason for being a Church- man. Our art is one which kings have not disdained to honor by exchanging the sceptre for the gavel, patronizing our mysteries and joining our assembles. It is but stating a well known fact to say that our present Gracious Sover- eign, for many years before he ascend- ed the throne was the revered Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of England, an office which is now filled by his royal brother, the Duke of Connaught. As Masons, representing 40,000 Craftsmen throughout the Pr(')vim:e of Ontario, we have joined you to-day in the interesting and profitable cere- mony of laying, with the time-honored rites of our ancient fraternity, in this new Canadian land of promise, the Corner stoneof a branch of the ancient and venerable, Church of England : and from the foundation laid to-day may you raise a superstructure perfect in all its parts, honorable to you its builders and destined to stand for gen- erations to come dedicated to the “101- ship, honor and glory of God. Dr. J amieson, M. P. P., was next called on and made a few congratula- tory remarks expressive of his approv- al at the action of the people in the ereetion of a new place of worship. Mr. H. H. Miller, M. P., was then called on and made an excellent ad- dress in Which he congratulated the congregation and people generally. His remarks were very appropriate to the occasion, and showed the benefits of the Christian religion as a factor in the building and uplifting of a nation. At the close a hot dinner was served in the orchard of Mr. J. Johnston and many availed themselves of the privil- ege of supplying the cravings of the inner man. As the culinary creations of the ladies in the vicinity are known to be of the' very best it is not neces- sary to specify particularly the excel- lencies of any one portion. After night a. splendid and varied literary and musical program was given by the Trinity Church Choir and some of the local talent of the vicinity. Misses Sims and Mead sang a pleasing duet. Miss Pettigrew, of Vzirney, favored the audience with :1 solo, and a number of others contributed their share to the entertainment. A baseball match between the C. P. R. and Bankers of Durham resulted in a score of 7 3’ favor of the former. It was quite interesting at times but was only an exhibition match. A collection was taken up which amounted to about $75 and the pro- ceeds from the dinner netted about another $75. MCLEANâ€"At Tap Cliff on Monday. Aug. 12th, to Mr. and Mrs. John McLean. a. son.
