Bro. Duhamel's Opinion On Some Proposed Changes In The French Masonic Constitution.
BRO . DUHAMEL'S OPINION ON SOME PROPOSED CHANGES IN THE FRENCH MASONIC CONSTITUTION .
This eminent brother , according . to the Bulletin du Grand Orient thus recently expressed himself in the " Grand Conseil de l'Ordre : " If you vote this Constitution it is the ruin of Freemasonry , for you make of it a political association , and you isolate it from universal Frcemasonrv . You are going , " -he
added , " to erase from the Constitution the articles svhich consecrate the right of each man to pursue his osvn religious convictions . If you think that Freemasonry has had its time , and that the hour has arrived svhen you can transform it into permanent . Committees , to svhich a passsvord could be given , as they say" he ( the speaker ) did not
think that it svas so . Nor was there any need to try to find in the lodges electoral agents . " Besides , the public authority will not long tolerate the exsistence in the territory of the Republic of * caucasses ' of disorder and agitation . It will suppress Freemasonry , and the suppression svill be loudly applauded by the entire country / ' These svords are very seasonable and very sensible .
HUILOSV . SV ' . S OINTMENT AND I ' ILLS svill be found the best friend to persons alllictcd svith ulcerations , bad legs , sores , abscesses , fistulas , and other painful and complicated complaints . Printed and vers * plain directions for the application of the Ointment are svrapped round each pot . Ilnllnsvay ' s alterative Pills should lie taken throughout the progress of the cure , to maintain the blood in state of
a perfect purity , and to prevent the health of the whole body being jeopardised by thc local ailments ; bad legs , old age ' s great grievances , are thus readils * cured , svithout conlining the patient to bed , or withdrawing fro ' m him or her the nutritious diet and generous support so imperatively demanded , svhen sveakening diseases attack advanced s ears or constitutions evincing premature decrepitude . —[ ADST . ]

Bro. Duhamel's Opinion On Some Proposed Changes In The French Masonic Constitution.
BRO . DUHAMEL'S OPINION ON SOME PROPOSED CHANGES IN THE FRENCH MASONIC CONSTITUTION .
This eminent brother , according . to the Bulletin du Grand Orient thus recently expressed himself in the " Grand Conseil de l'Ordre : " If you vote this Constitution it is the ruin of Freemasonry , for you make of it a political association , and you isolate it from universal Frcemasonrv . You are going , " -he
added , " to erase from the Constitution the articles svhich consecrate the right of each man to pursue his osvn religious convictions . If you think that Freemasonry has had its time , and that the hour has arrived svhen you can transform it into permanent . Committees , to svhich a passsvord could be given , as they say" he ( the speaker ) did not
think that it svas so . Nor was there any need to try to find in the lodges electoral agents . " Besides , the public authority will not long tolerate the exsistence in the territory of the Republic of * caucasses ' of disorder and agitation . It will suppress Freemasonry , and the suppression svill be loudly applauded by the entire country / ' These svords are very seasonable and very sensible .
HUILOSV . SV ' . S OINTMENT AND I ' ILLS svill be found the best friend to persons alllictcd svith ulcerations , bad legs , sores , abscesses , fistulas , and other painful and complicated complaints . Printed and vers * plain directions for the application of the Ointment are svrapped round each pot . Ilnllnsvay ' s alterative Pills should lie taken throughout the progress of the cure , to maintain the blood in state of
a perfect purity , and to prevent the health of the whole body being jeopardised by thc local ailments ; bad legs , old age ' s great grievances , are thus readils * cured , svithout conlining the patient to bed , or withdrawing fro ' m him or her the nutritious diet and generous support so imperatively demanded , svhen sveakening diseases attack advanced s ears or constitutions evincing premature decrepitude . —[ ADST . ]
