From atl lands and from times un- known. | Heforo Columbus or tho Northmen crossed tho Atlantic, before Rurope passed under tho hand of clyilization, before Charice magna, or tha Moors, befora Cursnr or Alex- andor, bofore tha New Testament or tho Chris- tan ora, Masonry claims anextsenee, Wo call outto the darkness of antiquity for its origin, but tho voice givus not back even an cco, Whother from the cmirs of the descrt, who formod nations and built citles, o: from tha mythical Athono and the Athonlaus, 1¢ extmo to ‘Tyro and Jerusalem, nnd thence to ua, wo know not, but we do recognize in the Masonic Order generally tho grent buildors of the past, and tence in thought, through It, aling back to tha eauthodrals of Europo aud the wonderful struct- ures of mantdind, in tho Order of Knighta which thle nssemblave espeeinily represents, we van run back on tho lines of history for nearly a thousand years, and behold tho goldler of tho Crusade, tho chivalrio defender of the went; nnd [f the great trumpet, thia moment, would calt forth tho dead, tha brethren of your Order would arisc from evory batttefeld in Burope. : Well, therefore, may we recognize in tho Ma- ronlé Order not only a force coming down through the ages, but an retual lino running buok from the nivetcenth probably for twenty. tive conturies, 4 thread extending through tho struggles ef invdern oivilization, to the grent templo’s «eiiention, and perhaps through Greece to tho pynunids of the Nilo. Tho Book of Job, mnong tho oldest of the poems, stands without date, without known au- thorship, and without nationallty; like the star, in ita surroundings and origin unknown, but glenniing out of the darkness upon the brow of night. So Masonry, older than tha Church of Rome, stands wherever its existence can be traced, ne simply oxisting,—the only gift from the child- hoot to tha manhood of tho race, and like tho Star shedding ita efulgence upon overy nation and every ue. a Nor is tho unblnilty, of Ita origin or tho strug- lea nnd forees of the past symbolized in. tha Knighthood or the Masons less romarkablo than tho chunges tho has wrowght upon these Or- ders. Thoy have left thoir mark upon the ages, but in turn tho axed havo changed and molded thoin. ‘Tho leoberg tlonting towurds the Equator represents tha storms and frosts of tho Arctle, ‘but.the soft nira and warm breezes of tho South vhisel out minarets and apires in tho solld siructuro, and saps ita frost, until, mingling with the waters, it “Murmurs tranquily ‘Through the binding twiga of the Coral grove." Tho changes which the oges have wrought ‘pon these Ordors are as muriced and radjeal ag to soine patriotle music, which will close the progrim for the evening, We thank those who have uttered words of welcome and wo thank you for your presance.” (Applause, | A fantasia on the “Star-Spangled Banne: was given by the orchestra, and the rece tion ended with a general clapping of han as on indication of satisfactlon, FARWELL ALL. THE COMPLIMENTARY RECEPTION tendered to tho visiting Sir Knights by Apolo, St. Bernard, and Chieago Command- erles at Farwell Tall was well attended, and the ocension made Interesting with music by Ch. Bach's orchestra ‘of Milwaukee, and speeches by prominent citizens and Sir Knights, passed off with great éclat, The decoration of the hall was accomplished ins very artistle manner.
