Masonic Helps To Intellectual Culture.
addresses , readings , & c , relating to the higher topics of Masonic information ! Tho banquot , the social occasion , tho series of dancing parties , need no urgency of recommendation among brethren , but when it comes to the
exorcising of tho mind in reading and study there is far less of interest shown . Indeed , there are many Craftsmen who seem to have no other conception of Freemasonry than what relates to its social side . Some of them will sneer at
any attempt that is made to make prominent the mental and moral elements of the institution , or to follow along tho lines that are indicated by its teachings in the ways of a broad and generous culture . And yet Freemasonry bears an intellectual stamp which
cannot be effaced . Its avowed purpose is to lead its members to cultivate and use and enjoy tho vast powers which belong to the human mind and which constitute tho best property in life . It would stimulate the true Craftsman , whether he be a mechanic or a lawyer , a poet or a business
man , to exercise those superior faculties by which the utmost zest of present being is secured and advancement made toward the heights of light and glory . A Masonic Lodge ought to bo faithfnl to this inherent genius of the
institution , and , whatever else it does or fails to do , it should not neglect the means and ministries that tend to this richer lifo which is only possible to be attained where there is some good degree of intellectual culture . —Freemason ' s Repository .
