The Benefits Of Masonry.

THE BENEFITS OF MASONRY .

IT is a great privilege to be a Mason , and thus a member of this world-wide , time-honoured Institution . It furnishes a Brother with a letter of introduction that will always be recognised in his travels , everuto the uttermost parts of the world . Should misfortune befall him , he has but to make his wants known to

receive the needed assistance . Should he fall a victim to disease , his Brethren will be there to close his eyes , and with hopeful , heaven-pointing rites give his body to the repose of the tomb , They will throw the protecting arm around the fatherless children , and extend to the weeping widow the tender consolation of

Brotherly sympathy . Mythic story tells us that the ancient gods invisibly and secretly followed their favourites in all their wanderings , and when these were exposed to dangers , or threatened with destruction , would unveil themselves in their

awful beauty and power , and stand forth to preserve them from harm , or to avenge their wrongs . So Freemasonry surrounds all her children with her loving presence , revealing herself in the hour of peril , sickness or danger . — " Masonic Advocate . "
