Masonic Aphorisms.
MASONIC APHORISMS .
THERE is no aristocracy in Masonry save that of brains . Reading Masons are the brethren who actually and naturally rise to high station in the Craft . Freemasonry has a material aa well as a moral and spiritual history—it built Temples before it built men . Masonry most effectually puts one brother in another ' s plao . It unifies all interests , it unites all hearts .
Ceremonies are dead unless they be inspired by a Master with a Masonio sonl . Masonry's creed is the ideal one—Faith in God and Immortality . With any narrower creed we shonld not number with ns , aa we do , great and good men of all theistic religions . The longer the creed the fewer the subscribers to it .
A genuine Mason mnst have breathed into him the breath of Masonio life . Yet we usually commit his making to a ' prentice hand . The Junior Warden must learn—therefore let him learn npon the Entered Apprentice ? If we wonld keep the Fraternity pure in the midst of an impure world we mnst scrutinise most closely every applicant for initiation
and membership . A weak link in the fraternal chain endangers the whole . The First Great Light in Masonry is not a book , it ia a library . It has a galaxy of authors , all testifying to the Truth . It is the Mason's light to the door of tbe Grand Lodge above . Be a sun to the Fraternity , ever dispensing light , or if yon cannot
be a sun , be a moon , reflecting the light of your brother Mason . Or , if you can be neither a sun or moon , be at least a clod of earth , giving as well as receiving . Freemasonry has no gold mines—it is only a stone quarry—and Masons are stone-sqnarers , employed in shaping perfect ashlars for the house not made with hands , eternal in the heavens . Masonry has
never been sold out , nor stamped out , nor legialated out , nor bullied out . It still lives and livea still . How many non . affiliates there are— " the woods ia full of ' em ! " How shall we win them ? Vain effort . Retain all yon have by making Masonry what it ought to be , always and everywhere . The way to
cnre non-affiliation is to prevent it . Make Lodge meetings attractive . To do otherwise is to drive the membership away . Look to the East for light ! There ait the representative of King Solomon . There sit , also , those paragons of wisdom the Past Masters who , possibly , are the wisest of the children of light . —Masonic Tablet .
