Ladies and Gentlemen: A more fruit f ul theme for the orator than this occasion affords has seldom, if ever, presented itself In my experience, and, partly for mat very reason. I shall not attempt an oration, as announced, but in view of the length of these services and the lateness of the hour will detain you only a few moments. , You have assembled here this afternoon to witness a scene which has Wr before been looked upon in North Carolina, and one which, en account of its manifold sug gestiveness, cannot fail to Impress itself upon you. This building, when completed. will be the first and only Hebrew Temple ever erected in this State, and it was emin ently appropriate i that the corner-stone' should be laid by the representatives of society wbicb, originating iiae Judaism in the early dawn of history and in the same region of the world, performed its most notable work in the building of i that ! mag' bificent Temple which crowned the hills of-j Jerusalem nearly 8.0W years ago. it was appropriate for other reasons than these. Masonry, although based upon -a moral code which Jews and Christians' Alike honor, knows do sect in religion and no party in politics, but illustrates the spirit of liberty by the practice or toleration, and the promotion of a -sentiment of brmher-' hood amongst men. Masons have laid the. corner-stone of this Temple with the same spirit of cordial good will which would in spire tnem la a like service concerning any other edifice erected for. the advancement ui uie wen are oi sooieiy; auu it j ceriaiqiv does not diminish the pleasure with which they do it to believe that those who' will de voutly worship here the God ot their fatb era will always be good and useful fellow- citizenn.i JJyeo in cpmmunUies where tbey have no pia.- f public worship,, it js pro- verbiai that Ute-Jews, as a class, are order ly, industrious and intelligent members of socieiy. Lei us ue ' graieiu v ' my i nenus, that we live in a land of, religious liberty that -we are citizens of a country in -which there is no unity of church and State, and where there are no manacles for our free bom consciences, but iwhere -.every man may exercise, unmolested; a guardianship over bis own soul Had it always been so the stream of hqman history would not' be so red with human blood, and the race . to whom this Temple belongs could not,' as now they justly may, , point . to. the black and damning catalogue of awful -crimes with which the inhuman . persecution of their fellow-men have for ages " afflicted J mem. . i.ei us congratulate tnem upon me prospect of having their own place of- wer- abip in our midst, instead ' or constitming ourselves judges of ' their religious faith.'

He crieth not; nor .lutein up uis voice, nor masem it nearo in the street: a bruised reed he will not break, and a dim-burning wick he will not extinguish; unto truth shall he bring, forth justice.

Suffice it toay, that the most iorparbal and learned scholars agree with us in referring that vaticination of Isaiah to Israel bimself. Israel is the missionary of ' truth ; upon him history proves it the Lord has put his spirit, that he should bring forth justice unto tbe nations. r Israel is the missionary of truth, but be cries not; his voice is, no"; heard in the1 streets; he attempts not to con vert by. persuasion, much less by attacking the. weak, , by quenching a' dim light and breaking a bruised reed.'
