Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masonic Orations In publishing in their present form the following Masonic Orations of Bro. L. P. Metham, for the benefit of the Masonic world, the thought occurred that such an effort would not only be appreciated by those who had the pleasure of listening to the gifted orator, but also that the excellent addresses would make a valuable contribution to Masonic literature, and form an important finger-post for brethren in guiding them safely along "the antient landmarks of the Order," and so conduce to the development of the spirit of true Freemasonry. The wise council - the faithful caution - that marked the unstinted admonitions of the able orator, indicated how much he loved our Fraternity; for while he dilated in glowing terms upon the distinctive basis of our Society, he failed not to point out the dangers and difficulties attending those unmasonic elements that sometimes force their unhappy way into our Institution. Doubtless Bro. Metham felt that he could, without hesitation or diffidence, faithfully proclaim the "Grand Principles of our Order," - that he could also warn its members against the admission of those who might bring a reflection on the Fraternity, - which he did, in most emphatic terms, as the then Deputy Grand Master of the Province, under the direct influence of one of the brightest luminaries that ever adorned the Masonic Hemisphere - our beloved Brother, the Rev. John Huyshe, M.A., P.G.C. (England), the then R. W. Prov. Grand Master of Devonshire, whose rare gifts and graces in every-day life pre-eminently entitled him to be regarded as a living illustration of the sublime principles of the Craft. The special features of the Orations will be understood and fully endorsed by the senior members of our Order, whose memories can reach back to the time when they were delivered.
