one day enter into Gods eternal light ; there shall be gathered into that glorious temple , of which we form the shadow upon earth—of the noiseless architecture of which , the building of the First Temple upon earth without noise of axe , or hammer , was the type ; these , into that Glorious Temple shall be

Architect of the Universe shall display face to face , His Majesty , and might , and wisdom , and poAver , and where the Holy Trinity shall reign , visibly , eternally glorious , when heaven and earth , the architect of the Universe , shall have been burnt up as a scroll , and shall have passed away for ever .

The first will be held at Willis ' s Rooms , on Friday , the 28 th instant , at 7 o ' clock ; and it has been suggested that the dinner in May might be held at tha
Star and Garter , Richmond ; that in June at the Crystal Palace , and that in July at Greenwich , Woolwich or Blackivall . A considerable number of gentlemen con . nected with the Colonies have given their assent to the proposal , and as the number of Tickets will necessarily be limited , an early intimation of your willingness tes
join the Association , and the number of tickets you might probably wish for , Avill be desirable . The price of the tickets Avill be about One Guinea each , and application may be directed to A .

THE following language , used by AY . Bro . Henry Clark , of the Grand Lodge of Yermont , is worthy of permanent record : "Another feature is apparent Avhich we hail as a good omen , and it is the disposition to condemn in severe terms , and even to legislate against the prostitution of
Masonry to purposes of private gain , and the display of Masonic emblems upon signs , of advertisements of any character . Some Grand Lodges havo even gone so far as to prohibit the wearing , as an article of jewellery , of any of the emblems of the Craft . This is , perhaps , severe , and in our judgment is not called for , except in
extreme cases . There can be nothing , however , more distasteful to a sensible Mason , or ought to put the Craft more on the guard against imposition , than to ascertain that Masonry is used as a stepping-stone to influence trade , or conserve schemes of purely private aud personal ends . There is none Avho should be more positively shunned than he who would make merchandise of Masonry .
