Allusion was theu made to the promineit and active men of the Order in this State who bad passed nway sinco tho original dedication,— Lhapway, ackelman, Silcox, Robson, Woolsey, Herndon, Adoms, Taylor, snd many obhers; and said that, though Wwo bury our master work- men, happily their work goos'on. But the pres- eut populurity of tho Order is lurgely due to their encretio laboca.

When thq oustomary devotional excrelses had boen disposed of, the Prosident, the Rov, Moses Pettengill, of Peorin, Ill., procosded to doliver somo remarks’to tho audience. o enid thot Chlcago was ronownod tho world over for his wondarful growth and largo fires. and 8 half yoars bofore, thoy lad held their Iast Convention at Normel, That meoting, although not Iarge, was pleneant and profitable. And now, by favor of a Lind Provideuce, they woro permitted again to moot, under far more encouraging proepeets. It was, thon, with feol- ings of plessuro that bo was permittod to groct thom, gatherod, as thoy believed, for 8 most worthy and Christian_objeét,—to earry forward tho reform In which thoy wero ougnged, which would requito tho united efforts, wisdom, and patient persovoranco of ovory friend of the causo, It mught be asked what the purpose of tho meeting wes, aud why theeo self-denying offoits of timo, talent, aud means, Thoy could roply that It was to doliver somo thousnnds of thoir fellow-men from tho ghackles of oath-bound secret gociotles, and to save thefr, young mon from devoting tholr time, talent, and means to an in- stitufion not oply heathenialy, but snti-ropub- lican aud aoti-Christian. They met thero to couansel togethor as to tho wisest and best mech- oda for cairying forward this groat and much- needed roform. They Lad aiso to loarn from their frionds and ngonts what progroes was being mado i the good worlt.

Now, thev hnd soveral prasoworthy jnstances where both po- litical and religious publications uttered strong worde sgainst tho vailn protenalons and trumpery of secreb societies. Better still, their own organ, tho Christlan Cynosure, was doing o pgood and greab work. Thoy did well, then, to tako courage, and pledgo anow their time, talents, and means, to carry forward tho prest cause. In doing this thoy had to rely much ou tho efforts of their ngents in the civoulation of tracts, und, puiticulacly, tho Christian Cynosure. . In conclusion, ho would yomark that to accomplish the great work thoy should not roceed alone on their own wisdom and strougth, En\ also, and chiefly, in ITis who is ablo to pull down all the strongholds of Batan, COMMITTEES.

I, TUNMAN, State Agent, was called upon for a statemont, Il remurked that thelr work, as an Association, did nov muterially differ from the Hamo work elsowhere. Thoy should appeal to tho con- soipnees of thie peoplo, to tho instinet of self- rgsorvasion, and to thelr roverence for their Bos Sollgion. ALl this sbould atonse them o resist tha unholy 1wflucnces of the lodgo, Thoy shonld aeseil not only Frecmasonry, but elso secrotism 1w general. Thay should show that ev- ory secret arsocintion was contrary to tho sim- plicity enjoincd by (ho Gospel, and that thoy do- veloped o charactor directly the reveiso of that of tho littlo child which the Savior hnd mado n typo of Hig Lleavenly Kigdom. Ii waa nocessary to maintain that no good cnuso demanded conconlment, and that secreey was an evideuco of same iniquity that would not bear the light, and insiet that overy pledge to keep unkuown obligations is inconsisient wilh tho frecdom of conscionce and a suproma rogard for God's laws, Theso associations were olfish, and, therofore, always wrong, 1f the real or protended secrets of the Order wore valuable, then ajl shonid be coguizant of thom, If thoy were worthless, thoy ought to bo oxposed as o gross imposition.

FRESH REVELATIONS. Tho attendanco in tho ovening was very much Targer than during the afternoon—tho sossion boing beld in the auditorium of tho )Irst Moth- odist Church. Soversl lndies wero presont, and appeared to be bighly futerested in the proceed- ings. Fully an hour was devoted to the usual religlous coremonics, tho singing belng finoly accompanied by tho church organist. A some- what remarkable coincidenco was that, in an wpper hall of (he building, ove of the local lodges of 1. 0.0, F. was holding s business meoting. Dr. Walkor, the newly-clocted Presi- dent, occupied the chair, TUL PRESIDENT made a speech in reforonce to the comparative morality of Christianity and Masonry. e did not wish to disparage morality as o soclal priuciple, buthedid wish to show how the morality of the Lodge mado it diflcult for the Mason to abido by the faith of Christ. A Mason may sy thst bo §s a8 good opd tiun o cltizon as any ono ontside of tho Order. Ho may foel that Lo is equal to most and suporior to some. But no man can feel that ho is equa) to the great oxamplo of the Lord Jewus Christ. Busonfo morality, howover good it might bo, compared self with the businoss lifo around it, or with tho church influence around it, but all moral men slould romember the precept of Paul that thoy shonld messure thomselves, ag far 28 was possiblo, after the standard of the Founder of the Christian roligion, Masonfo morality provented mon from boing re- pentant, becauso they did wmob look boyond human comparisons for the standard of a highor life. Whilo DMosoury prevented repontance, it thoreforo taught immorality. And, in its oath, it taught immorality by teaching tho momber to keep all criminal scorots, unless murder sud treason, in tho fitst throo degrees. THE COUNTERFETER, TILE GANILER, TIE TIIEZP, tha adulterar, may escape, and their secrata will Lo kept by tho brethren. In the higher orders of the Masonio Order it is optlonal with the mombers to except murder and treason or not, oy they may olect, Therefore, Masonry taught immorslity by cauglng its mombers to swenr an illogal and unjustifisble oath. The institution was ovil, but sBomo good men who belonged to it sustained it, If it woro all ovil, in the live of mombersbip, it would inovitably gravilate toward lell, Wero Masonry reduced to evil ‘members alone, its powor would ba 4t on end. Bometimoy, iu swoarlug in new membois, some passnges were omitted from the onth, but the Bow comer was sworn to keep sceret not alono what was then read to him, but alse overything holouring to tho snme oath that moy hereatter bo ropeuted to bim, Thus {ho man sware to somothiug o nover new or couid not Jnow any- thing about.
