office of Master of this Lodge during tho past year . Tho jewel is a square with the 47 th proposition of tho 1 st Book of Euclid pendent therefrom , aud is intended by tho Constitutions of our Ancient Order to mark your rank as a Past Master . This proposition of Euclid ' s Elements is one of the most important discoveries of the learned Brother Pythagoras , who flourished 555 years B . C ., and in the joy of
his heart ho ia said to have exclaimed , Eureka , " I have fouud it , " and to have sacrificed a hecatomb . As the figure depends upon several lines , angles , and triangles , as shown in the diagram before you , so Freemasonry depends upon its several members , and the principles upon which the Institution is established . Some of onr brethren , from their station in life , standing as they do on the basis
oi earthly bliss , aro emblematical of tho great angle which subtends tho right angle ; others , blessed with means to tread the flowery meads of prosperity and affluence , are descriptive of tho squares which stand on tho sides ; thoso brethren who enjoy every social comfort and never exceed tho bounds of mediocrity , symbolize tho triangles within the square ; and those who have the satisfaction of administer .
ing to the wants of the indigent and industrious , may be compared to the triangle which surrounds and supports tho figure ; whilst tho lines which form -it may remind us of those brethren who are incapable of providing the necessaries of life unless aided by cheerful and ready assistance . May tho lessons taught by your beautiful jewel ever influence your actions for good , while treading tho thorny
path of this life , so that when yon are summoned to tho Grand Lodge above you may receive a much more glorious jewel—one which will never fade away . Bro . Robinson made a feeling response , nnd assured the brethren that when elected W . M . he determined to try to do his duty , and if he had succeeded to their satisfaction he was amply repaid . Tho beautiful and costly jewel they had given him ho should ever treasure with pride . After some propositions , the Lodge waa closed .
