It belongs to his family relations , his business association ' s ? his social conduct , " his value and worth as a citizen . _ „ . . . . These aro thc requirements of the applicant fur initiation
into Masonry . When tho app licant becomes tho candidate , he must be examined as to other qualifications that are essential . They are strictly Masonic qualifications that are thus to be investigated .
There is , then , a Masonic language which must be learned . To express tho teachings of Freemasonry it must use its own peculiar language . This no ono can acquire unless he bo taught , and no ono can be taughb thafc has not proved himself capable of understanding , and can prove himself willing to learn and obey .
This , therefore , necessarily involves a mode ^ of expression . Language is such a mode . In the earliest days signs constituted language . Now that the almost universal method of expressing , vocally , thafc which is to
be conveyed to fche mind is a spoken tongue . So in Freemasonry a language peculiar to itself is known . Ifc is always unexpcctionally used . By it the lessons oi Freemasonry are taught .
Eemembor that afc tho ford of the ancient river those who wished to pass over were known to be enemies , because they were in ever so little at variance in fche language , fchey could nofc bo granted the permission . By this example of ignorance of the force of exact use
of words , serious trouble was occasioned . This historic fact is of significance in any discussion of the nse of authorised language as it is applied in every relation of life where it has a distinctive character . The expert words in any profession or trade indicate how well the lessons were
given and how comprehended , the names of tools , fche terms identified with the expression of particular characteristics , as ihe terminology of sciences , or descriptive of phenomena , or fche classification of species and fcheir separate or unified connection , all these are taught by special language .
The student must learn these languages beforo he can become a master in the profession or the science . The plnmb , level and square , the trowel , the tools of iron , the setting maul , are terms used in the construction of building's . Take fche carpenter ' s vocation , the saw is a
tool that has a general application . let thero are known to the expert mechanic ten tools called saws , each different from the other , the compass saw , the ' pruning saw , the rip
saw , the sweep saw , aud the jig saw . These words have the significance which the master builder knows , and be adopts them , in teaching those who are to begin this business or trade .
Freemasonry has its language . The profane cannot use it , for they do nofc know the significance of terms used in teaching the sciences which Masonry fosters . When , therefore , it is said that Masonic language has
its peculiar expressions , and that thc initiate must acquire a knowledge of them , it is only asserting an historic fact that is recognised as an historic fact by all who are well informed as Masons .
The intelligent Mason who is really impressed with the character which belongs to tho lessons that teach the
esoteric mysteries of the Craffc cannot fail to be anxious to become master of the Masonic language . By it he only can be taught what Freemasonry truly is in its wonderful influence on all the members of the Fraternity . It is of the utmost importance to the integrity of the
Craft and the perpetuation of its ritual and ceremonial as ifc was handed down to us-from the fathers , that the Masonic language should be preserved in all its strict and unaltered expressions . Novelties , spectacular additions to the work , changes , and what are called suggestive modern innovations , must be prohibited .
It would be as fatal to ancient Freemasonry as a new language used in thc teachings of the mysteries . The old Masons could not understand it ; the young initiates would not know what ancient Freemasonry was by such teachings . It is a must interesting study for a true student of Freemasonry .
