Text Appearing Before Image:
" This corner stone we may, therefore, lay in
accordance with our law; and thus testifying our
appreciation of the duties and privileges of liberty
regulated by law and our respect for duly constituted
authority, we shall proceed in accordance with ancient
usage. As the first duty of Masons, in any undertaking,
is to invoke the blessing of the Great Architect upon
their work, we will unite with our Grand Chaplain in
reading a lesson from the Holy Scriptures and in an
address to the throne of Grace.
The following texts of Scripture were read re-
sponsively by the Grand Chaplain, Rev. W. H.
Rider, D.D., of Gloucester, and by the brethren in
unison:
GRAND CHAPLAIN.—Bless the Lord, O my soul.
O Lord, my God, Thou art
very great; Thou art
clothed with honor and majesty.—Ps. 104, v. 1.
BRETHREN.—Thou, O Lord, shalt endure forever,
and Thy remembrance unto all generations.—Ps. 102,
V. 12.
GRAND CHAPLAIN.—Thou shalt arise and have
mercy upon Zion; for the time to favor her, yea, the
set time is come.—Ps. 102, v. 13.
BRETHREN.—For Thy servants take pleasure in her
stones, and favor the dust thereof.—Ps. 102, v. 14- 116

THE LAYING OF THE CORNER STONE

GRAND CHAPLAIN.—Where wast thou when I laid
the foundation of the earth? Declare, if thou hast
understanding.—J
ob 38, v. i.
BRETHREN.—Who hath laid the measures thereof,
if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line uponit?—
Jo6 38, V. 5.
GRAND CHAPLAIN.—Whereupon are the founda-
tions thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone
thereof ?—Job; 38, v. 6.
BRETHREN.—When the morning stars sang to-
gether, and all the sons of God shouted for joy.—
Job 38, V. 7.
GRAND CHAPLAIN.—Is it time for you, O ye, to
dwell in your ceiled houses, and this house lie waste?
Thus saith the Lord of Hosts, Go up to the mountain
and bring wood and build the house; and I will take
pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the Lord.—
Haggai 1, vs. 4, 7, 8.
BRETHREN.—Ye also, as lively stones are built up
a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up
spiritual sacrifices acceptable unto God.—1 Peter
2, V. 5.
GRAND CHAPLAIN.—Therefore thus saith the Lord
