Masonic Jewels.

every plan anl specification of the Masonic trestle-board , which " in Speculative Masonry is symbolical of the books of nature and revelation , in which the Supreme Architect

of the Universe has developed his will , for the guidance and assistance of his creatures in the great labour of their lives , " the erection of a temple in which every moral and social virtue dwells .

The book of the law and testimony is so highly prized in Masonry as to be placed among its jewels in the form of a trestle-board , on which the course of life to be pursued is clearly marked out , if true manhood is to be attained , or real happiness is to be gained . To answer !

the purpose designed , it is not enough that : these jewels be exhibited in the Lodge as the insignia of office , or explained to the candidate from a chart , where they are seemingly valueless ; but as symbols , embodying ideas of deepest import - in the development of character and

conduct corresponding with their interpretation , they should be cherished in the mind , treasured in the heart and exhibited in the every day life of the Mason as

ornaments of the heart and adornments of ' , the , person , evidencing that purity of thought and rectitude of life so essential to gaining admittance to the realms of earthly happiness , peace , and prosperity .

Indeed , if that close attention were given to symbolic Masonry which it deserves , and if a more earnest search were made for the hidden mysteries therein contained , a much deeper interest would be taken in the work , and the

greater would be the desire to tarry long among these fundamental principles , instead of seeking a hasty flight into regions beyond and ranks above . Rather , Brethren , stand to and abide by the Blue Lodge with its jewels . —Bro . Rev . Gilbert Small , in . " Masonic Advocate . "
