Grand Master.... :'"'J; will not.d~taiu: you a mom~nt, m::y-brethren, in expatiating /. the difficulty- of the task with which I am charge_d,nor on the - :1:~uficiency of my means for its suitable accomplishment; our. M: W. Qrand_ Mast~r, has ~alled ~])on me to fill tlie place of ~ur absent9'ra11d Orator,_and m_<?tiermgthat _call, I trust to your m dulgenc:e, Masonry, from time imme!}lonal, has b~en defined by our niost enlightened brethr~n, the _s!udy of th~ scienc,es and. the ractice of virtue. After this defin_it10n o~ v<:hich each _of you-are preparecl to acknowledge the exactitude., is it not permitted to us lo boast of the utility and excellence of the R.. Art. Its object i_s!o r~nder man happy\ an~ what su~er mear_is are there of obtammg it, than- those which it employs. to enliil;hten the. mind by instruction, and to form the heart?y example ; 1J ~ot i this the object of our labors, of?ur work: Is it n?t the meamng --. of the mystery which has been discovered.to you, m every degree. to which you have been adv:anced: TI;e vy-1sd_om of the G. A. gave and executedth.e plan of this sublime msbtutrnn; ~tren~th s~pl?or!s and preserves it and beauty adorns_ and embellishes it; it 1s ~ vain that envy and wikedness wo1;1ld ei::-deayor-to subvert_~he e~i.ce raisetl on-these three pillars, m vam will calumny direct it~ poisoned a:rows ag3:inst it; its origin ~s lost in the obscurity of time, and its end will be closed but with that of ages.. What do these enemies object to our order1 if you assemble but to d~ good say some of them, why make use of the mystery which envelop~ your meetings; do you b~lieve, say others, that you?-re the only well informed, the.only :'utuous order of men; to wmd up, again; others prete~d. that if the mystery can have been useful in times now past,.it 1s at the present day perfectly useless and often injurious. Let us not, my brethren, be embarrassed.or dejected by these idle clamours.. They reproach us with the mystery and the secrets which veil bur meetings from the gaze of the profane;.but can the truth that light which the mason desires an,d seeks after 'be withouf d;na-er exposed to am If.I held shut up in my hand 'au the truths, s~id th~ leamed ~ontene~le, I would take good care not to open it.. Wis~ and philosophicthought!-all those who have studied. and ob!a~ned a knowledge of man, have been obliged to concur in opm1on that all tru!hs are :1ot useful and that several :inight easily become dangerousifunveiled toweak minds.. It is then reserved but to some, to be in a condition, without risk, to obtain a knowledge _of all truths ; well then. the mystery by. its wisely directed expenments serv~s to ~scert8:m wi:at quantity oflightmay be imparted to each without ~azzh!1g him with it. Such!!as always been the cause of the discret10n, of which the mason contracts th~ obl_igation from his.entrance into the T.. vve read in a manu~cnpt discovered by th~ famous Locke,..the original of which ap~ pears to have been written by Henry the 6th, who reigned in En~. glaj:d en 1436 " that to tune communicated masons have at all times and from t1me to mankind such of their, ~ecrets: as might be 1_1se~u~ to. them and keeping ba!!k 011ly those :which might/be J<reJudicial m bad hands, those which be-or could be'ofno bene,;c fit to others an~, those which serye,to,bir1<lfb.e frat~mity,more firmly toge~her.. -But_ th\ise.very_seqets do,not;:exclusivelybelong to any pa;rticular.fam1l~, or particular people ; the orde'r is astuir-,. ver~al as the cause which: g?-ve rise to it.. The only reconimand_atrniis _ne_ces~ary for admissio!l to _our labours are moral qualifica~ hon~; d,1stip.c;.,ti~ns an_d advancement belong b_ut to merit; ifls here that true equality reigns, the emblem of which decorates. the co1..;. lar of the senior. warden; n6! that brutal equality that breaks.a11 the bo~ds of societ:ybyrefusrn~ to ach:nowledge any authority; but that w-1se a1)d charitable equality which cause us to consider all men as br9thers of the. same origin; participating of the same na-. ture and destined to the same end., We fin:d, a_gain; in the man1;1script already quoted, the answer to other objechons o~ our enemies 1 we therein find this question " are masons better mformed than other men 1 '' and then follows the ar:~wer: " they have only the right and the opp.ortunities of knowmg more than o~ht;r men, but many want capacity and a still greater number the v1g1lance and aptitude necessary to the acquirement of knowledge;- and to this. other question: " Are masons better than other-men1 '' The, answer is: " That some masons are not so virtuous as :other men, but tl:>.ey are better than they would be if they were not masons. " Is it not. useless to answer those who wish to cause the mystery to?e con~1dered Jl.S ~angerous; such a calumny is too absurd to re _quir~ serious attentwn_; :tnd mdeed, that a jealous despot who considers men but as victims devoted to his passions sees not witthout uneasiness an association, whose chief end is' to render all men happy; that the obligations and the oaths which masons take _to be faithful to the government of their country, are not sufficient t? remove the tears of the tyrant and that in his mischievous delirmµi he proscribes and persecutes them, we may easily conceive,

4 6 The>perv.erse man cannot ascertain or appreciate the sacrifices which virtue knows how to impose, and besides the sight of a virtuous man acts as a reproach to him, -,vhich ruffles and puts him in a state of fury. But, that this objection has been made in a republic, and in what Republic! In that, of which the fondamental basis se;eins to have had its source in the Masonic Code. In that of which the firm and liberal government leaves to man the exercise of all his liberty without convertingitintolicentiousness and gives to authority all the force and power due to a law, without its being ableto,convert it to despotism. What! could our republic have any thing to fear from those who at their meetings, after having paid that homage to the G... A.. of the U:.which is due to him and sought a benediction upon them and their ~orks, have no other care,_no other occupation than that of seekmg after the means of assurmg the happiness of their fellow men! No, no, let not yourselves J:ie deceived, it is not for the safety of the republic tl_j.athese enemies ofjhe mystery tremble; for rather ;i.re these enemies of the mystery. the enemies of the republic. They well know that so long as free _ meri assemble in their T.. that they support wisdom, strength and beauty; where power is given to those who bear on the!r breasts the emblem of the virtues.which are in their hearts, eqmty, equality'and rectitude, so longasthey shall be conduetedbythe th~ee great lights which impart-to us our intelligence : morality, eqmty and _ -moderation, in a word, so long. as there shall.. exist Masons,. the American Rep.ublic will have devoted and constant supporters. -As:to'the mritility, which is offered as a reproach to our institution, the ignorant man or the man of bad faith can alone attempt to suggest it. Experience proves to us that by a whim~ical destiny of the human -mind, the best things degenerate by makmg them too general ; would not that cause suffice for rendering obvious the necessity of an association more especially consecrated for the pres ervation of the. deposit of human knowledge and for giying an example of the virtues; and our society being at the same time a private society where none are admitted but those whose virtues render them worthy and a general association where none but the wicked are excluded, ought it not to be considered as an institution the most fit to fulfill that useful mission. Give to a certain class of men this s_acred deposit, would it not be lost when that class might be dispersed; it was confided to the Braniins and dis.appeared with them; the Priests of Memphis assumed the keeping of it, but it was buried under the ruins of the Egyptian priesthood; its lot was the same at Eleusis. A like inconvenience exists when it isintrusted to oue nation; most powerful people have by turns been effaced from the surface of the earth and their sciences have disappeared with them; bµt the religious system might succeed and decay; nations might rise and fall without the masonic edifice, being affected; it has gone through past ages and will go through ages yet to.come, always shedding on them lights and benefits. It is however true that all our Lodges have not always worked with the -same purity of principles; we have unfortunately seen the most culpable passions slip into them; intrigue has sometimes carried offtl-:at which merit alone ought to have obtained, personal inte.,st has been allowed to succeed_, when nothing but universal l '.,. ('- 1.. l-.
