And thus we build the Temple of Ma
eonry. Its foundation is more durable
than those of pyramids, for its corner
stone is eternal truth. It is constructed
of principles and duties involving the
relation or man to man, and ot man to
his Maker. Human laws may bo chane
ed, amended, or repealed ; but the laws
' by which Masonry endures can never be
abrogated, for they are inherent in the
necessities of society, as they relate to
man in tho twofold aspect or a denizen
of earth and an heir of immortality.
: This moral structure, unlike the phys:
ical one referred to, is built up, not with
iron and granite, but with duties and
purposes connected with the common
- welfare, and involving the highest inte
rest of hurcanity. In its external aa-
Iects, it. stands as a thing of beauty.
ta towers and buttresses, its columns
and facades, its spires and pinnacles are
all in harmony with each other. From
within its several chambers and inner
sarctuaries, along its colonnades and
halls there are voices ever echoing with
truths and . precepts that no man may
neglect at his periL Every where as we
pass from chamber to chamber of this
mystic Temble, there are symbols as im
penshable as truth, with words whose
meanins? may not te . mist ten, whether
