My highly esteemed friend Bro.

Of this many bearings, it is perhaps best to dismiss the fact I became convinced on reading his Commentary on the Cooke MS. matter by saying that if Masonic Halls and Masonic Bro. Cooke did not name the MS. " Cooko MS.," but somehow that name was conferred on the MS. by spontaneous public opinion, and ifc Clubs are properly managed they are almost certain has been known as the " Matthew Cooke MS.," since 1861. I see, to prove beneficial, while if there is any laxity, or the however, that the said name is distasteful to Bro. Speth, and so he slightest irregularity, they are all but certain to introduces a new name for it, viz., " Add. MS., 23,198." A present orator, when he has to refer to the said MS., says " Cooko MS.," but bring discredit on the Craft as a whole. tho future orator will have to say " Add.

It sneaks volumes for the basis few Englishmen's tongues aro pliable enough to pronounce correctly, on which Freemasonry is established, that so much I mean the word " Massachusetts." Bufc even that addition will not answer the purpose, for in Berkshire County, Massachusetts, there is should have been accomplished by its members in another Boston. This, of course, would necessitate the adding of years gone by with such immunity from serious results, more words for the purpose of defining the Boston. Now, if tho name and we can only hope the Masons of the future will " Hub MS." answers the required purpose, of what use is ifc to put writer, readers, orators, and printers to more trouble and expense than be as much alive to the necessity of maintaining the is necessary ? reputation of the Craft as has been the case with those The above reasons I hope will suffice to convince my esteemed who have raised it to its present position.
