FREEMASONRY IN FRANCE .
ADDRESS OF BKO . h . BABAUD-LAKIBIEEE . The ne \ vly-electecl Grand Master of French Freemasonry has addressed the following circular to all the lodges under his jurisdiction : — My dear Brethren , —Called by the suffrages of
your delegates to exercise tbe functions of Grand Master of French Masonry , I feel it a duty to explain to you the exceptional character of this election , and to invite you , according to the resolution of the Legislative Assembly of 1870 ,
to consider in your respective lodges the question of executive power which will be submitted to the Assembly in 1871 .
Above religion , sects , and parties , Freemasonry dwells ; it is based upon the noblest principles , and it is at once its strength and its glory to march in the advance guard of progress , and to establish in its midst institutions which in after
ages will become universal in the outer world ; supporting a refuge always open to free thought , and offering in some degree an ideal sociality to those who have at heart tlie welfare of human kind .
It will not be too much to say that our institution has completely fulfilled in the past its mission as precursor . Many historical facts attest the influence of Masonry , and how much do our laws bear the mark of its influence ? Did it not in the
eighteenth century contribute powerfully to religious and political toleration in our laws and customs ? Were not the doctrines of the " Encyclopaedia " first developed in our temples ? and though the grand principle of the sovereignty of
the people was proclaimed in the revolution of 1789 , had it not long before been applied by our predecessors , coming down to the present generation ? It is less than thirty years since the outer world hesitated to proclaim the doctrine of
universal suffrage , yet such suffrage already existed in the internal government of the Craft . Thus , with these examples before us , Masonry can justly claim to have contributed to the development of these three important reformstolerance , the sovereignty of the people , and universal suffrage .
The success we have gained in the past imposes upon us the obligation to unceasingly continue our labour . The condition of the human mind is such as to never rest content , but to aspire to new conquests , as soon as the preceding efforts
