Excerpt: ...help is needed, to help with the liberal hand, and, when we cannot do so, to help with a loving heart, in the contribution of an honest sympathy. occurred in writing, the Hebrews used another name, and for the sublime Ye-ho-wah used the less awful Adonai. That amiable philosopher, Robert Boyle, never mentioned one of the designations of the Deity that he did not lift his hat, if he had been covered, or pause solemnly, if bare-headed. Masons surely will not lose sight of this precept, which is so honouring to their Maker, and so becoming to themselves: --"Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain." This, then, Brethren, is the first great moral of Masonry. Read and study your Bible. Approach your conscience, intellect, and heart to its hallowing influences. Let no flickering taper of earth be palmed upon you for its steady light. Should men hold up the rushlight of their own conceits to illume your journey heavenwards, say to them, as Diogenes said to Alexander, "Get out of my light!" Let down your whole soul to the depth of its mysteries. In the noble independency of thought which it breeds and fosters, journey to its farthest boundaries; examine into its sublimest speculations; expatiate amidst its most glorious revelations; dare the boldest flights; dig into its unvisited mines of golden truth; constantly read, prayerfully study, and perseveringly practise its inestimable contents. Masonry adopts, as its text of Ethics, the Scripture's own comprehensive abridgment of its contents--Love to God and love to man. The stereotyped code of Masonic moral principles is an apposite comment on the text. That exposition reveals the fact that the true Mason is no blasphemer. If ever you hear dishonor done to the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masonic Parliamentary Law: Or Parliamentary Law Applied to the Government of Masonic Bodies, a Guide for the Transaction of Business in Lodges, Chapters, Councils, and Commanderies Mr. Wilson, in his very able Digest of Parliamentary Law, has remarked that "it would be well for persons presiding at meetings of any description to make themselves familiar with the rules of Parliament in regard to questions and amendments which have been tested by long experience, and are found as simple and efficient in practice, as they are logical in principle." Much experience in conducting the business of Masonic bodies, or in seeing it conducted by others, has convinced me that a treatise which should, in perspicuous language, prescribe the rules for the government of Lodges, Chapters, or any other assemblies of Masons in their Masonic character, could not fail, if properly executed, to be of service to the Craft. It is evident that when one is, for the first time, called to preside over a Lodge of Freemasons, he must come to the performance of that important duty, either with no knowledge whatever of the rules of order that govern the proceedings of deliberative bodies, or with a familiarity with those rules only that are exclusively derived from the ordinary parliamentary law. From either of these conditions, errors must inevitably arise. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Freemasonry in Ulster 1733 1813 written by Petri Mirala and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the role of freemasonry in the Volunteer movement of the 1780s and in the struggles over Catholic emancipation, parliamentary reform, revolution and counter-revolution in the 1790s. Based on original research, the book addresses many common myths about the nature of early Irish freemasonry. It also explores the controversial relationship between masonry and Orangeism. The masonic lodge had many other roles besides secret rituals, convivial gatherings, and occasional political involvement. Lodges provided a measure of social security for the members, helpedÃ?Â?Ã?Â?emigrants integrate, enforced a code of respectable behaviour and arbitrated in disputes. Their public parades on St John's Day displayed masonic ceremonial rituals to the wider community. By 1800, there may have been as many as 20,000 freemasons in Ulster alone, many of them Catholics.

Download or read book The Principles of Masonic Law written by Albert Mackey and published by Broken Column Press. This book was released on 2016-06-09 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anyone who is interested in Masonic law, how lodges and grand lodges are run, and how Masons should act in Lodge and society should buy this book. This is a great outline for the government of all lodges, including dealing with Masonic offenses and different levels of punishment for such offenses. From the Introduction: The laws which govern the institution of Freemasonry are of two kinds, unwritten and written, and may in a manner be compared with the "lex non scripta," or common law, and the "lex seripta," or statute law of English and American jurists. The "lex non scripta," or unwritten law of Freemasonry is derived from the traditions, usages and customs of the fraternity as they have existed from the remotest antiquity, and as they are universally admitted by the general consent of the members of the Order. In fact, we may apply to these unwritten laws of Masonry the definition given by Blackstone of the "leges non script " of the English constitution-that "their original institution and authority are not set down in writing, as acts of parliament are, but they receive their binding power, and the force of laws, by long and immemorial usage and by their universal reception throughout the kingdom." The "lex scripta," or written law of Masonry, is derived from a variety of sources, and was framed at different periods. Many documents are of sufficient authority to substantiate any principle, or to determine any disputed question in masonic law, and are discussed in this book.
Download or read book Living the Enlightenment written by Margaret C. Jacob and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1991-12-26 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long recognized as more than the writings of a dozen or so philosophes, the Enlightenment created a new secular culture populated by the literate and the affluent. Enamoured of British institutions, Continental Europeans turned to the imported masonic lodges and found in them a new forum that was constitutionally constructed and logically egalitarian. Originating in the Middle Ages, when stone-masons joined together to preserve their professional secrets and to protect their wages, the English and Scottish lodges had by the eighteenth century discarded their guild origins and become an international phenomenon that gave men and eventually some women a place to vote, speak, discuss and debate. Margaret Jacob argues that the hundreds of masonic lodges founded in eighteenth-century Europe were among the most important enclaves in which modern civil society was formed. In France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Britain men and women freemasons sought to create a moral and social order based upon reason and virtue, and dedicated to the principles of liberty and equality. A forum where philosophers met with men of commerce, government, and the professions, the masonic lodge created new forms of self-government in microcosm, complete with constitutions and laws, elections, and representatives. This is the first comprehensive history of Enlightenment freemasonry, from the roots of the society's political philosophy and evolution in seventeenth-century England and Scotland to the French Revolution. Based on never-before-used archival sources, it will appeal to anyone interested in the birth of modernity in Europe or in the cultural milieu of the European Enlightenment.
