A Review.

As Masons true , we'll keep in view The Craft ' s perpetuation , Until we see Freemasonry By every one adored . " We also greatly approve of Song XXXII .:

-Air— ' Free and easy . " Through the Avorld my journey taking , Many " ups and doAvns " I ' ve seen ; Luck Avas often me forsaking , Yet contented have I been . Taking one time with another , Well with others I compare , For I aimed to be a Brother

Who Avould act upon the Square . Chorus—True to the Craft I'll remain till the end , Whilst every Brother ' s a Mason and a friend ; Ahvays ready , sure and steady ,

Mason ' s virtues knoAV no end . " If the wind is fairly blowing , And my vessel journeys on ; Many a Brother ' s grief is shoAving Fortune on him never shone . Could I pass him by in trouble ?

No , —my help is at his call ; I may be reAvarcled double , Though my help may be but small . " Though my riches are not many , Still I have a mite to spare For the man who has not any ,

If a Mason on the Square . Those among us whose position We may envy , from renown , Soon may change their hi gh condition , And be suddenly cast doAvn . " Let united every Brother ,

By the ties of Masonry , Seek new virtues to discover , As a Fellow-Craftsman free . Aiming as a good Freemason , Thus to act , to live , to die ; So that he can take his station After in eternity . "

We conclude , as we think , not inaptly , with Song XLV ., as it is a very good resume" both of Masonic teaching and Masonic duty : — Air— " Men of Harlech . '' " Brothers all of every nation , High or lowly be your station , Drink success to every Mason , Prosper well the Art .

A Review.

Noble minds the work engages , Founded long ago by sages , It shall last for many ages , And a joy impart ; Mighty men declaring , That it's good they ' re sharing ,

Brighter far than morning star , With Orders none comparing , Virtues high to beautify , With other Arts it well can vie , Masonry can never die , — Then prosper well the Art .

" Let the ties which firmly bind us , Of our solemn vows remind us , Let the world as Masons find us ,

" Acting on the Square . " Thus to live Ave are contented , To be faithful we ' ve consented , None of us have ere repented That the badge we Avear . Virtues high attend us ,

And our deeds commend us , Whilst we " act upon the Square , " Brothers shall defend us . High we'll see Freemasonry , Shall bear us towards eternity , So our motto still shall be ,

To " act upon the Square . " We cannot close our short extracts without commending Bro . Philpotts' production to the notice of all Masons , Avho are interested in Masonic harmony , or appreciate Masonic sentiments .
