ADDRESS OF R. W. JOHN W. JONES.Ladies, Friends and Brothers-We have asseiibled to

celebrate the birth oftone, around whom we should all,from the humblest entered apprentice to the brightestornaments of our order, bow in spirit, and hang wreathsdecorated with garlands of brotherly love and broth-erly affection. Long will the 24th of June be remem-bered and revered among Masons. This great andgood man, this zealous and worthy brother in our an-cient order, as well as in the cause of christianity, incommemoration of whom we are now assembled, willlive in the hearts of men, and in the remiembrance ofgrateful millions," like a spark of fire divine which mustburn on for ages, when the sun-fair transitory crea-ture of a day !-has closed his golden eye, and wrappedin shades forgets his wontedjourney through the East."Yea! St. John the Evangelist, St. John the Baptist,King Solomon, Hyram, king of Tyre, and our GrandMlaster Hyram Abiff, will stand in remembrance like amonument implanted in the blissful realms on high.Gold may crumble to dust, yet they will livein remem-brance. Time may destroy the diamond, yet they willbe remembered, like primal light, sparkling from thehand of Omnipotence.

But again. The origin of Masonry extends back in-to remote antiquity ; tge precise period in which it ori-ginated is unknown. There is no doubt, however, butthat it existed, and was established by King Solomon,through the aid and assistance of Hyram, King of Tyre,

d and Hyram Abiff, with its divine precepts and sublimetruths, as handed down to us traditionally, at and dur-

h ing the building of Solomon's Temple at Jerusalem,which was dedicated to our Supreme Architect 1005

- years before the advent of the Son of God. But I feeln justified in asserting that the sublime truths and holy

principles upon which this house of God was erected,are of divine origin, and were brought to bear in judg-ment upon the first pair in the Garden of Eden, and fortheir disobedience and willful violation of those holyordinances, our first parents were expelled and drivenfrom that lovely garden. Hence, there is nothing that

has withstood the wreck of time more successfully thanour venerable institution. In truth, we are permittedto declare that, " It is more ancient than the GoldenFleece or Roman Eagle, and more honorable than the

i- diadems of kings and pearls of princes."d New orders are continually springing up in our

midst, which have their bright and glorious day, andthe refreshing rays of their summer sun, but like theleaf of autumn, soon fades, nestles a short while in themellow breeze, then falls, and is gone forever; but it

e, remains for us to say that our venerable band of broth-a, erhood has stood the wreck of time for a long periodof years, bearing no hatred or envy against any politi-cal or religious sect, or other denominations, but likethe balm of Gillead, soothes and mitigates their troubledwaters. Her mission is peace on earth, and good willto all men; and this day Masonry is appealing to thenations of the earth with telling effect, so behalf of hu-manity, justice, and christianity; and in all her doingsshe is calm and placid-

"Like the oil on Aaron's head,Which to his feet distills;Like Herman's dew so richly shed,On Zion's sacred hills."

Indeed, the god of war has recently made his rudeappearance in our once happy and prosperous land, andarrayed in deadly battle, father against son, and broth-er against brother, during the existence of which, our

0. once green and fertile fields were desolated, and ourhappy homes burnt and laid waste, and helpless womenand children left without protection; and the bitteresthate found its way in churches and holy places, butnotwithstanding all this, our Masonic obligations, withfew exceptions, were kept intact, and the spirit of Ma-

y sonry passed triumphantly through this dreadful con-test with a beauty and grandeur which seemed ofheaven.

But again. While engaged in our usual vocationsin the fond pursuits of life, it matters not whether ourcallingplaces us in the silent walks, or in social hallssurrounded by the gay and cheerful, or amid the vari-egated crowds that press hastily around us, Masonrycalls to our mind the most sublime truths and moralprecepts, which fill our empassioned bosoms withbrotherly love, relief and truth. It teaches us to pranc-tice all the social virtues, to avoid intemperance and-excess, to be diligent, prudent and discreet in all

ol things, ever bearing that fortitude or firmness of minder whic will enable us to encounter danger with cool-

d nessand courage, and pain or adversity without de-o sponding By it we are further taught to be good and

true men, to be peaceable subjects,*and conform withs cheerfulnuess to the laws of the country in which we

live; to act honorably towards all men; to promoten the general good of society; and, in fact, it teaches

our whole duty to God and man, and points out ourway to the grand temple of happiness where strife anddiscord never enter, and where our divine teachingshave unbounded influence and are universally felt.

As Masons, we are to abstain from all those incendi- tary feelings which so often are found, with rare excep-tions, within the bosoms of men. Through its holyinfluence, malice, that unwarrantable malignity, which 1has so frequently, in all ages, and among all classes, tcalled up men in deadly conflict, vanishes from ourmystic retreat-

"Like a snowdrop falls in the river,A moment white, then gone forever."

Slander, that foul fiend that floats abroad through the Iland, and is found staining so many tongues, and which Ilies concealed within the hearts of ungrateful millions,never ostensibly enters our sacred walls;Walls which are as boundless as the realms of light,Where stars unaumbered shine, and comets take their

flightI cannot close this branch of the subject without re-'

ferring to the Holy Bible, square and compass, without' "which no lodge of Masons can ever exist. The Holy'Bible is our great light in Masonry, aid our guide t•all truth. It directs us to the CelestiaalI pie on highwhich is governed by our Supreme Ard•titet, who is'clothed with all. the grandeur and majesty ' heaven. IUpon the square, we are taught to regulate our at-'tions, and to harmonise our conduct by the principledof morality and virtue, and to limit our desires in ev-ery station within the bounds of thecompass, that ris- iingto emisne•e by merit we may live respected anddie regretted.

But again. tam satisfied that the principles and'teachingsof our order are more or less experiended' I

and felt by us dlI. And I am persuaded that I havenot, and@tlSoot say too much for Masonry; yet I dd

not pretn tvs4Sythtt we live up to its divine pre-'cepts and h ly teac~.iags. Were this the case, were'its holy info luce'isfplauted in the bosoms of all men;wars and ftuds would.cease to be, anud the spiritof whocould best worktandbest agree would be found in ev-ery heart..- Int-.ot ere et. ti me to say, that when tcontrast JMasonry lth- tieonduct of Masons, I ami Compelled to exclaim,; 0.O sacred teachings and edicts

We love hin on thebat- Itie-field; hence, we find when abrother discovers pertchance another through our mystic language, though Ian enemy engaged in this dreadful contest, that themissile of death Is instautly arrested. I am happy tofind in the reports of the respective grand bodies tthroughout the United States, that the principles ofMasonry have been observed in our behalf as to thosewho participated in the late war for Southern indepen-dence, with but one exception, which exception isfound in Sir Sol. D. Bayliss, G. Commander of the G.Commandery of Indiana, for A. D. 1862, for which thisComp. and Sir Knight has been severely rebuked by Ihis sistewjurisdictionis, and that sure monitor, the con-.

ciFence, which doubtless has admonished him suffi-ciently for this departure from the teachings of theorder. But the child unborn may live to blush overthe record of his'rommandgy. But we must forgive;it is human to err, divine itforgive. Doubtless Indi-

ana, if she has not already done so, still ere long cor-rect her recbrd in this respect.

But in order-to show the feelings of Masonry on thissubject, I will read a short extract from the G. M. ofthe G. Lodge df Michigan at her last grandeconvoca-tion :[Extract from address of the G. M. to the G. Lodge of

Michigan]"But you ask what can Masonry do. It can, in the

true spirit and genius 9 f its original design and its sub-lime lessons, forgive the past where it sees a fault. Itcan in the superabundance of its charity sympathisewith our unfortunate brethren of the South. It canmourn with them over theni devastated plantations,their razed mansions, and the.smoking ruins of theircities and villages. It can drop the tear with themover their bloody battle-fields, and the graves of theirsires, their sons and their brethien, albeit they fell inarms against the North. This last, it is human to re-member, but not to cherish, is .Masonjc. To forget itis noble-to forgive it is divine. Perh•ps if in the purespirit of Masonry, we were to put ourstiles under thesame stringent rule of accusation and conuemination towhich we subject others, we might, in many' respects,become supplicants for forgiveness. Have nee all sofar, satisfied our own consciences, individually, as toenable us to look up to the throne of God with con'fdeunce and with hope of forgiveness, and say, ' forgive'l us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespassagainst us.' Then let us not reprehend too severelyour brethren of the South."

Also from the National Free Mason, published inNew York :

"Masonry, while favoring a healthy and safe pro-gress, exerts a conservative influence. We find a strik-

t ing illustration of this in our country since the closeof the war. Politicians, lawyers, preachers and1 churches are too often elements of discord, division andstrife, and through the press, pulpit, synods, confer-ences, legislatures and courts, may have retarded, onboth sides, union, delaying construction, and render-ing reconciliation more dificult.

"If the question of reconstruction had been submit-ted to a body of Freemasons, governed alone by thepromptings, impulses, and practical wisdom of thecraft, it would have been decided long since, and theUnion restored as firmly as before the war. Thechurches have been divided, the pulpit prostituted, lit-erature poisoned, justice prevented, legislation cor-rupted, the judicial ermine soiled; but Freemasonryhas not been deranged, nor the wonted courtesies aniintercourse interrupted." The country has been divided, churches parted,

families and brethren separated, congregations scat-s tered, the strongest ties of society broken; but theMasonic family and relationship remain in their integ-rity. When men w:ll hold intercourse in no otherway, when they will not speak when they meet, norsit in tht same pew in the house of God, nor kneel atthe same altar of prayer, approach the same sacramen-e tal table, nor worship in the same temple of Christ,d they will and do sit in the same Lodge-room.

"Freemasonry is the most catholic and yet the mostr exclusive institution in the world-its benevolenceseen in its general, and its self-love in its personal aimsa -- bringing into union all nations and races, harmonis-;t ing all discords, adjusting all differences, and unitingt in one work all conflicting elements; knowing no sec-h tarianism, recognising no bigotry, tolerating no sec-tionalism, speaking a universal language, its life-bloodbeating and throbbing in the universal heart, the con-f servative power of government, the attracting force ofsociety, and the mighty lever of universal -progress.

" What would be the moral and social condition oftheUnited States, at present, but for the restrainingSand conservative influence of Masonic truth, and p'inciple and organisations

. It brings men and holtis

Sthem together in unionu. It is moral stimulus, prolongI ing the life of the patient, sick from the miasms with-h out, beginning at the lower and advancing towards thehigher principles of moral, social, and spiritual devel-d opment."II This is the spirit of Masonry that prevails through-d out the country.I- But wearetold that the ladies are excluded fromthis great institution. In answering this question, Iwill simply say that it was never intended that theyh should be hewers of wood and drawers of water. It ise for the Mason to prepare the rough ashier, and polishe it for the builder's use; and for the ladies to sharea with him all the blessings of this house of God, whenr thus erected.d But in conclusion, the profane may tell us that wes ostracise Israel's sons, the chosedi people of God, in ded-icating our lodges to two Christian patrons--St. John.the Bptist and St. John the Evangeist. It is not so..The Holy Bible is our guide to all truth, which expresslydeclares that Israel, as a people, is not forsaken; thatSher deliverer shall come out of Zion. Then let me say, to the children of Israel, continue to send up fromr your synagogues yonr devotions to the tlhrone of theGreat Jehovah.

Bddedt sin cold not destroy man's inherent love of so-ciety, nor his essential want of -the aid and sympathyoflis fellow-ma. Itfdetroyed his purit; ruinedo sick-happiness ; it brought misery and death upon him; ithedivided him into hosandle tribes and nationsh; t estrangedhim from someof his fellows by differences of tonguherefore,needs kind hand by diversity of interests anleavesd pursuits; butindthre-by only made greawidoter the want of assond he, and sthereform-pathy, and community of purpose, with those withwhom his lot was still ngast, seeming to intensify Adams itcompressed the limit of his yow dependent mpathies, justfells yourender more solid, as you compress the pasbstance ofsome bodies.

And all through the ages that have passed since thetribes and nations of the earth began to increase, thisrincile of mutual nd thence and joint support hasit

been exemplified. It may be that this is shown in butSlow form ainto theng those people whristanve slmot lost

ecalltype of hmaoitly through ages of datheiress, ig-norance and vice; but I question whether any race, ortribe of men, has ever yet been known, who did nothave some form of association that exhibited theirsense of the needesigof joint action either for internalgovernment or external defense. And as you comedown through the ages, you discover signsof this more

I exhibit it.ToAnd this is designed to be one ven airect reslt of riginally--elation: to bring man back into~his original relationwith Adam, ais Creator, and to rstorelost peace agreed ar-

f mony among men theiselves : to remind whmen, in thelanguage of the great canebrew lassegimbler, that they arebrethren, and in their language of the Chritian prongue;-mation, to announce, on earth peace, good will townrdsmen.

And how glorious an idea! How glorious a fact!tiTo agivnde to men once more, even as they had originallyin Adam, a central point of interest, thand agreementely ap;a central point of love ainstd hope around which all the

Bunations o while the earth can sse thle, and forgetting ev-of urything else-their difeiences of race and tongue;hastheir long ested, ants; their bitter enmities, andtheir bloody wars-recoggnise only their common hu-Sformanitys for the ftheircommon of objer; their commos subservient sato hera-tion, anor their common home And therself. is the desin-and object of the Churchi: the first, the rhoodsinely ap-pointed, the only complete instrument for the purpose.

Dot while the Churt~h is thus the admitted instrumentof unity, lorke, peace, and kindness among men, thisrehas not prepented, hasd need not a recogrevent, associatedefforts for the furtherance of objects subservient to hercI duse, or even as handmaids to herself. Thus the in-atitutions of monasteries, and other brotherhoods, withthe 'Arowed purpuse of directly accomplishing portionsof her ditn work, which an indirect effort could not soreadily atlcimplish, has been a m cognition of this prin-ciple. Aundthos.in countries where Revelation is most

- reverenced; 'mutially assisting, and iinlimitedly bener-olent societies of bvery form have sprang into beingand continue to flouniish. 'ThI old Guilds of Britain,some of which still 'sutain their name and objects;

trades unions, hospitils, asylums, charity schools; thesocial science associatibn'!"all be-ir'testimony to man'si craving for sympathy, his recognition of a commonbrotherhood, and his sense of mutual dependence andthe necessity for mutual support.

And even the many schemes of the'socialists, frenziede as has been some of them, fraught with mischief of

every kind, morally and socially, as they are, a're yetbut so many plaintive appeals from man's inner heart

e for the fellowship, the sympathy and the brotherly kind-ness, the strong craving for which nature has plantedwithin him. I never read a theme on socialism with-out a painful condolence of pity; pity for the unap-peaaed hunger of the soul .whi•h thus cries for thebread of human fraternity; pity, for the pervertedcravings of that longing soul; pity, that men shouldnot abandon the Utopian schemes that reason, exple-rience, and truth declare to be impracticable, orif theywere even practicable, likely to be only evil in man'spresent, fallen, condition, and fix their hopes upon anddirect their efforts to the realisation of the Divine planfor matn's recovery and happiness.

Now among all those schemes which man himself hasdevised for the satisfying of these wants of his nature,there must always rank first, the institution of FusE-MAsoitar.

But when I speak of Masonry as being for this ex-emplification of humanity, I do not wish to be misun-derstood, as ignoring the religious basis of the institu-tion, nor the elevated system of morality, which itsteachings everywhere inculcate, and its symbols sobeautifully represent. Masonry is more than a broth-erhood of mutual benevolence; more than the profaneconceive it to be by those signs and ceremonies, thoseacts of charity and kindnesses which are its externals.Based upon Divine Truth, no man can open his eyes tothe light that shines from her Eastern Arch, or witnessand be initiated into any of her mysteries, who doesnot reverently confess to the worship of Him who isabove all, anid through all; while in some of her moremodern developments, she follows the course of Reve-lation through its many streams of type and prophecy,until they converge and widen into the bioad currentof Christianity, enforcing a devout recognition of thecomplete system of Christian faith. I do not ignorethe claim set up in her behalf by some of her most en-lightened and devoted teachers, that even at her firstinstitution, one chief object she held in view was toacquaint heathen nations with a knowledge of the onetrue God. And.I remind you with saitisfiactibn. of thiatwhich every true Mason will lay to heart, iand wiich hewho does not attentively' onisdir is ioit worthy to bea Mason, that while her ~isti4isivawsi the perfection ofoperative Masonry, lhetniseparably associates with thata speculative system which rigidly enjoins strength ofprinciple, beauty of holiness, and the wisdom of an up-right life. Indeed, I know of no system of moral phi-losophy purer than that of Masonry; no ethics bettercalculated to inspire men with the principles of integ-rity, sobriety, purity and love; and I unhesitatinglysay. that he whose life does not show an outward con-formity to these principles comes short of his duty,violates the solemn obligation which he took at the al-tar of Masonry, and is unworthy of her offices andprivileges. Shewme a worthy Masdn, and you show mea worthy man; but show me a man who, though a Ma-son, leads an unworthylife, and 1 tell you, and tell himto his teeth, that you show me a most unworthy Mason.

And this we must make known to the storld, becauseMasonry has to bear the heavy burden, in its estima.tion, of the evil doings of her unworthy members; andwe must endeavor to remove its false impressions.

But we return to the idea of -brotherhood. Whatdoes it involve? We have no better illustration thanthat which presents itself in the domestic relation. Afamily of brothers-united under a common father;all acknowledging his authority; all jealous for thehoior and purity of their home; all the protectors oftheir mother and sisters; all united in community ofinterest; all anxious for each others welfare; all guard-ing against any cause of strife among themselves; allbound together with bonds of love; all holding sacredthe secrets of each others bosom. How beautiful apicture! And you know, brethren, that this is to thevery life a picture of real, living Freemasonry.

A lodge of Masons is united under its master, at afamily is united under its father; while all Masons, ofwhatever nation and tongue, are united under the oneGreat Architect of the Universe, the one Father of all;and the obligations and teachings of Masonry require allthat our illustratin suggests, Obedience to the Divinemoral law; a careful guarding of the purity of the lodge;a working for one common end, the good of Masonry;a lively anxiety for each othei's good; the avoidanceof strife and enmity; the encouragement of love; aninviolable confidence between each other; and thewatchful guarding, and caring for, of Masons' inthersand sisters, wives and daugh rs, widows and orphans.Ignoring all differenees.ofopinion on all-subjects for-eign to the purpose of hisorder; weighing no brotheraccording to the natutre of his private views, whetherthe hbe: social, scientfi6,:political or religiiou; butlooking only at the character of his thife an ascertain-ing that he heartily accepts those truths on which Ma-sonry is reared, and governbs h c~nduct by-er rules;t the Mason receives him as a bro thea; a brother ilequality, whithier be be prmine orpeasant; w~rotherin aWeftine a bother in his clsnsas opiehun andthence str akc 10 fulfill towards him those offices oflovBe demanded and eom d by this sacredrelatn

a reason may ,be supposed to• hae resumed her sway!,Masonry ought tobe potential in her influence in re-storing peace and harmony to this distracted country.And why can she not be, not only in an attitudeof quietrecognition on the part of a brother North or South ofthe claims- had upon his charity by him in the othersection, but by active intercourse, active offices ofkindness, and active appeals for brotherly justice andbrotherly harmony ?

This, however, I can only suggest. But may I nots do more than suggest to you, brethrenl the obligations

,and admonish you to discharge them? Let Masonryin Shreveport be a testimony to all men that Masonsfeel and act towards each other as brothers; while byb the purity of our lives we show that we appreciate the
