What Makes A Mason?

WHAT MAKES A MASON ?

IP a brother should be asked by a qualified member of the Craft

" What makes you a Mason ? he might be able to give such an answer as would satisfy the inquiry , and yet not tell the actual fact aa to what makes a Mason .

Some think tliatafcor going through certain forms and ceremonies they are fledged Masons ; nay , they believe that such is tho case when thoir names are affixed to the Lodge roll . But it

What Makes A Mason?

requires a great deal more than this to make a man a Mason . He may become a member of the Lodge ; he may attend the meetings and even tako part ia the work , and yet be no more of a Mason than if he had never |

joined the Fiuternity . It is not membership that makes a man a Mason any more than the mere attendance at a church will make a person religious . What , then , makes a Mason ? It is

the following oat of the principles taught by Masonry . It is the throwing off of those selfish instincts which actuate the " man of the world , " and

becoming one of a society of friends and brothers . It is to set aside self interest and to devote the heart and soul to the true teachings of Masonry . It is to be charitable to all , not only in action , but in word and thought . It is

to do unto others as would be wished for from them . It is to pay a proper reverence to the Creator , and never to mention his Holy Name except in a

reverential manner . It is to avoid all intemperence and excesses , so as to keep the mind and body unimpaired , and fit to perform the necessary duties of life . It is to deal justly with all ,

and to walk uprightly before God and man . It is to preserve a spotless reputation , and so to conduct one self as to be beyond censure and reproach .

Bat some will say "I cannot spare the time from my business to do all that Masonry requires . " There is no reason for a man to neglect his business in order to b 9 a Mason : in

fact Masonry teaches that the ordinary vocations of life mast not be neglected . Yet it should be to act as a Mason

even in the transaction of business . To be a good Mason there should bo honesty of dealing , rendering to every man his just due without distinction .

The employer should act justly and fairly with those he employes , and the workman , to be a good Mason , should have the interest of those who pay him his wages as much at heart as if he were working for himself . He should be

upright in all his dealings , and be worthy to be taken by the hand by every one and every where . He should be a man in every sense of the word , and render unto others those kind offices

which he would , under similar circumstances , wish to be rendered unto him . Such a man makes a man a Mason , not membership . — Noah ' s Stmday Times .
