MASONIC DISTPLINK . —My attention has been called to the great want of "Masonic Disipline " in some of our Lodges over the conduct of those who profess and call themselves Masons . It is becoming more than ever necessary that Masonry should heboid in the declaration of its principles , and that it should as boldly determine to enforce its admirable tenets . Temperance is a cardinal virtue in Masonry . If
this virtue be inscribed upon our banner , and if that banner bo proudly waving in its purity over the temple , why should ifc be allowed , from time to time , to be disgraced by the workmen thafc are engaged in their labours beneath its folds of bcanfcy ? Shall Masons persist in continual , flagrant violations of all moral law , and in open and constant disregard of the most sacred teachings of our Fraternity , there
by bringing shame upon the Craft , ancl we refuse or neglect to punish the transgressor P Do not the immoral practices of some of our Brethren stamp the lie upon their profession and Masonic characters ? With all the charity which the most generons heart can exercise , are we not compelled to acknowledge that we have too often denounced theso things , and yet allowed onr members to indulge in them ? My Brethren , if onr Institution be honest in its proclamation of hostility to
vice , it will not tolerate , ancl oven nourish in its bosom , those members who habitually practise thoso vices that aro in violation of Masonic principles ancl morality . If onr erring Brethren will not bo restrained from disrepnfcable practices by words of loving counsel , let us not hesitate to visit condemnation upon vice iu all its forms , ancl ever maintain , by strict discipline , the high , moral standard of Masonry . —Grancl Master Williams , of Delaware .
