IN WISDOM , STRENGTH , AND BEAUTY .

TO stretch the liberal hand , And ponr the stream of gladness O ' er misery ' s withered strand , — To cheer the hearth of sadness , — To dry the orphan's tear ,

And soothe the heart uigh nroken , — To breath in sorrow's ear Kind worka in kindness spoken , — This is the Maaon ' a part , The Maaon ' a bounden duty , This rears the Mason ' s heart In wisdom , strength , and beauty .

To practice virtue's laws With fervency and freedom , And in her noble cause Advance where'er she leads ' em—To curb the headlong course

Of passion ' s fiery pinion , And bend its stubborn force To reason ' s mild dominion , — This is tbe Mason ' s part , The Mason ' s bounden duty , — This rears the Mason ' s heart " " In wisdom , strength and

beauty-To shield a brother's fame From envy and detraction , And prove tbat truth ' s our aim In spirit , life and action , — To trust in God through all The danger and temptation ,

Whioh to his lot may fall , In trial and probation , — This is the Mason ' s part , The Mason ' s bonnden doty , This rears the Mason ' s heart In wisdom , strength and beauty . —8 el « ct « d .

Room Enough For All.

ROOM ENOUGH FOR ALL .

DON'T crowd and push on tbe march of life , Or tread on each others toes , For the world at best , in its great unrest , Is hard enough as it goes .

Oh why shonld the strong oppress the weak Till the latter go off the wall ? On this earth of ours , with its thorns and Mowers There's room enough for all .

If a lagging brother falls behind , And drops from the toiling band , If fear and doubt pnt his soul to rout , Then leud him a helping baud ,

Cheer np his heart with words of hope , Nor season the speech with gall ; In the great highway , on the busiest day , There's room enough for all .

If a man with a tread of a pioneer Steps on yonr track ahead , Don't grudge his start with an envious heart , For the mightiest once was led .

But gird your loins for the coming day—Let nothing yonr heart appal—Catch up if yoh can with the forward man , There ' s room enough for all .

And if by doing yonr duty well , Yon should get to lead the van , Brand not yonr name with a deed of shame But come out an bouest man .

Keep a bright look-out on every aide , Till , heeding tbe Master ' s call , Yoor soul should go , from tho world below , Where there ' s room enough for all . —Selected .

THE OPEN BOOK . —The open book—the stream of knowledge and of trne intelligence—open to all who wish to read and to learn : the open Holy Bible—tho effulgence of divine light—open to all who really desire to behold it—ia a sublimo feature of Freemasonry , and is tho reason why the popes and priests of Rome have so often denounced the Masonic Fraternity . They wished to have absolute control of tbe consciences , faith and conduct of all , tut Freemasonry

saya nay : open tbe Holy Bible , and tho great Book of Nature , and get therefrom all tho light you possibly can , to guide you in erecting your Temple of the soul—your House of the Lord—eternally in the heavens . Ye ore , yourselves , priests of God j let no man stand between yourselves and Him . Go directly to Him , as the only Friand in whom you may witb perfect safety confide , aud He will not only protect and provide for you iu time , but save you eternally .

Room Enough For All.

No Brother should seek to know how another voted , and if he shonld happen to know , he haa no light to communicate tbat knowledge ( or even suspicion ) to any person . It is a Masonio offence for a Mason to make known even hia own ballot . Every Worshipful Master of a Masonio Lodge shonld prohibit any discussion as to how members have or may vote , and no inquiry into

the ballot should ever be allowed nnder any circumstances whatever . It is to be hoped that no Mason would ever so far forget his manhood and his Masonio obligations aa to use the sacred ballot for selfish or revengeful purposes . Aftar the ballot has been taken , examined , and announced by the M » ster , it is final and conclusive ; nor can it be set aside by the Lodge , Master , Grand Master or the Grand Lodge . —Grand Master Stevenson of Idaho .

Nowadays we have the Tyler at the outer door , and he figuratively should say to each Brother as he departs , " This is the door of a Masonio Lodge whioh yon are just passing ont of ; whatsoever was acted or spoken therein belongs to Masonry aad to that Lodge alone . "
