Several prominent Masons being present, the author was earnestly requested by them to deliver the same discourse before an approaching Masonic meeting at another place. This request was soon followed by another from the Lodge itself. An affirmative response to these invitations opened the way for a call from another Lodge, and the result of the response to this call was a demand for the work in pamphlet form. A first and second edition of the work in brief, were printed and sold. In the meantime the author has been called upon again and again to deliver the same discourse before several Lodges in California and other places. On the 24th of June, 1863, by special request of Lafayette Lodge, No. 126, the discourse was delivered to a very large concourse of Masons and citizens on Macedonia. Campground, near Sebastopol, Sonoma County, Cal. Since then the author has been often requested to republish the discourse in full in pamphlet form. It was the desire of the author to respond to this call at an earlier day; but want of means, and a constant press of multiform public duties, have prevented until now. It is now established in a more enlarged form than ever before, and contains some historical and theological matters never before embodied in it. The author hopes that these additions will be as interesting to the reader as they have been to himself. He hopes that in the whole work he has been true to the great principles of our time-honored institution, and that every true Mason will find something in it to refresh his soul by the way. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Publisher has copy-edited this book to improve the formatting, style and accuracy of the text to make it readable.
