F. gaA M , attended Divine service at the Trivia Memorial church last Sunday. The service was fully choral, being rendered with exquisite taste by the large choir of the chttrch. A prom- inent feature of the service was the baptism of the infant daughter of ,Mr. Dan, Wood, Being a girl we regret that she will be debarred from the privilege of initiation into Masonry; but most likely in time will do the next best thing, viz:—marry a mason of high degree, We cannot here do justice to the very able, appropriate and well arranged re- marks of the worthy Chaplain, Rev. E. W. Hunt, but present a brief synopsis pf the sermon, Taking. his text from 1 an 3, 9: "Ye are God's building." He said, "There are two reasons why I think your presence as Masens is most fitting in the house of God. First, be- cause it was our Masonic ancestors who reared in England the greatest temples of our faith ; and secondly, because Masonry, rightly understood, must al- ways be the ally of the church," "First then it is most fitting that we should gather for worship in that faith for which our fathers did so much. When,brethren, we gaze ou the massive, Minster at York, the noble front of Lin- coln's mighty cathedral, or the turre- ted roof of grand old Peterborough,, we reflect with pride, that it was by the hands of the operative masons of cen- turies ago that those stones were placed in position, teaching us the speculative masons of to -day that each individual mason should become a stone of that living temple, iu whom shines a light to pilot those who worship at our altars through the rocks and breakers which mark the ocean of unbelief in safety to that haven of quiet waters where the signals of Faith, Hope and Charity are forever flying." "Secondly, it is most fitting that you should gather here, because Masonry, rightly understood, is always the ally of the church. Not that Freemasonry is either a religion, or a system of re- ligiou. It is the handmaid of all seek- ing truth, and light, and right. It is a centre of union of good, thus men of every race and tongue, who believe in God, practice the sacred duties of morality. Fremasonry is the conservator and mainstayof human freedom and of all the rights of man, as witness the history of Britain from the days of !Marna Cltaria.. And because of this, Masonry is the friend of the church. It is the glory of Eng- lish speaking Masons that it has al- ways stood like granite against the as saults of unbelief and in a crisis of Craft history, when at least one' great jurisdiction was carried away by a flood of agnosticism the British Craft formed a gigantic square around our first great landmark and declared that without the belief in the cardinal truths, that there was a Supreme Being that he had repealed His will to man and that He would punish vice and reward virtue, the entire fabric of Masonry would crumble to the dust. In short we may say, brethren, that since Ma- sonry is not a religion, we must not make it so, and since its aims are ours, our Masonry will help our religion, when we remember that all over this jurisdiction where the Craft first or- ganized we have through the goodness of the 20,000 Craftsmen of the present, been enabled to send streaks of sun- shine into many a saddened home with comfort for the widowed heart and cheer for the orphan child." He then proceeded to speak of the foundation, the work and method and the reward of Masonry. The foundation, he said, "was God" "wherever we are let us always re- member that the great Ali•soeing Eye is ever upon us. Every man builds his character upon the character of God." "Some" he said, '`might ask if eyery member built upon God. There were many members, but he might say emphatically that every true Mason built upon the foundation of God. They had always been builders in the ages past and the foundation stones were placed in the North East corner to signify the progress from darkness of the world, guided by light of the Craft fires of faith, hope and charity, to the light of God himself." Speaking of the work he referred to to the fact that "whilst in the days of old their fathers had been operative Masons; they uow were speeulative sons and applied the building tools to their morals. Morality, equality and justness ; Brotherly love, relief and truth ; Faith, hope and charity were their guiding lights." In this connection he quoted from Tennyson, and said, "what was true of Arthur Knight might be said of every Mason. "1 made them lay their hands in mine and ar, To reverence the King as if he were Their conscience, and their conscience as the King; To break the heathen and uphold the Christ, To ride abroad redressing human wrongs, To speak no slander, no, nor listen to it To lead sweet lives in purest charity. ee :k * * '9 * Not only to keep down the base in man,. But teach high thought,and amiable words And courtliness, and the desire of fame,. And love of ttuth, and all that makes a iman." "The reward of Masonry, he said, "were identical with those of religion. To be good for the sake of good. Too do good by stealth and not for parade was their aim, They could not look for final results now; as the temple of life was. not finished yet, but in God's good time good would be crowned and the powers c£ evil frustrated. After pointing out the connection of the secrets of Mason- ry with the secrets of the church, he closed with an earnest appeal to the brethren to be loyal to God, to thole privileges and responsibilities and last- ly t0 themselves. "For being true to self, It follows that ye cannot then be false to any man." At the offertory Mr. R H. Collins sang the "Holy City" with a magnifi- cent voice and after the benediction the brethren proceeded in order, mar- shalled by Very Wor. Bro, Eacrett, to. the Lodge room, when'a hearty vote of thanks was passed to the Chaplain for tile very able and interesting sermon; to the visiting brethren and to Migs Brooks for supplying the lodge room with two large boquets of beautiful fin wars, Dashwood.
