could read and write , and they being operative Masons also . . . found time afc intervals to secretly read , understand and explain the Scriptures themselves . Afc thafc time , figuratively speaking , the sonls of men throughout Europe were in irons . Edward the 2 nd . . . was engaged in a struggle to seize the kingdom of Scotland , bnt Robert
Brace .... with the aid of tho remnant of Knights Templars , ¦ who had found shelter under hia protection , with 40 , 000 men , on the 24 th June , defeated him " ... This remnant of Knights Templars
were consolidated wifch the Knights of St . Andrew of Scotland , and in honour of the victory won on Sfc . John the Baptist ' s Day , he instituted the Order of Eosy Cross , of which we , Masonioally speaking , are the descendants . "
Who , after reading the above , will deny that America not only beats the world in art , science , war , & o ., but it also beats all creation in knowledge of Masonic history ; and it is no wonder at all that Bro . Sherman ' s lecture was so heartily applauded by the most learned Masons in the world . But yet I beg most respectfully to point out , as I did before , the want of historic authority to substantiate
it . I would like to give a few more tit-bits , but space will not allow it . However , I cannot refrainjfrom adding the following newly discovered or revealed fact . Our 33 rd Scotch Orator said : —
" William III ., observing tho fidelity and loyalty of fche Freemasons to fche government of England , became their patron , and , as a distinguishing mark of his favour and appreciation , directed that their lamb-skin aprons should be bordered wifch blue , and thafc fche insignia
of fche Master's and Wardens and other Officers should also be blue , as a badge of honour and fidelity , whioh colour has been continued by the Craffc every where to the present time , and onr Symbolic Lodges are generally known as ' Blue Lodges' for this [ or the above ] reason . "
I shall onl y say—Thank you , Bro . William III ., for having made us into JDhe Masons , and thank you , Bro . Sherman , for having discovered and \ made Icnoion such an important historical fact .
P . S . —After the above was ready for mailing , I consulted Chamber ' s Cyclopedia , Articles " St . Andrews" and "Thistle , " from which I learn that Bro . Sherman must have been mistaken in his statement that Bruce united the Knight Templars with the Kni ghts of St . Andrews after the battle of Bannockburn , because , in the first place , the
Order of tho Knights of St . Andrew did nofc exist before the days of James V ., or two hundred years after the battle of Bannockburn was fought ; and secondly , I have perused a poem , in two volumes , called "The Bruce , " of the
" English Text Society . " It was compiled in 1375 by a Church dignitary . It gives tho history of the struggles and battles of the time of Robert Bruce , and I am suro that no mention was mado in the whole poem either of Knight
Templars or Kni ghts of St . Andrew . Unless , therefore , Bro . Sherman can furnish conclusive evidence that thero were in Scotland in tho days of Robert Bruce both Knight
Templars and Knights of St . Andrew , I am very much afraid that tho Catholic priest at San Jose mission and all other Catholics will never stop poking fun at all the Scotch i iters .

Clifton Bingham ia responsible for the words of " Jack ' s Dilemma , " whioh has been set to appropriate music by Joseph L . Roeckel . The theme ia pretty , and will become
popular . "Lusifcania is a splendid songj Edward Sfc . Qaenfcin ' s mnsic is bright and agreeable , and ( he words so pleaaant thafc ifc makes a really delightful piece .

41 persona , of whom 20 were under the English Constitution , V under the Scutch , 4 under the Irish , and 11 nnder Foreign Constitutions . Tho total amount of relief distributed during that time was £ ' J 12 s 3 \ d , giving an average par case of 4 s 4 id- It is worthy of notice that during the last nine years 30 applicants more than in the
