Speculative Masons.

SPECULATIVE MASONS .

TO one who is constantly coming in contact with Masons in a general way , it appears that too many who join this Order do so with the speculative idea in their mind . Among the young men who are now coming in we find too large a percentage of those who are Masons only by virtue of their initiation . They seem to have the wrong idea of the design of the Masonic institution , and remember but little of the charge they receive when they aro made . They aro some of them elected to an office in the Lodge and beyond committing to memory the small part pertaining to their office go no furtherand Masonrv to them consists of a series of auestionj and answers

, for the benefit of the candidate and not themselves . Thoy are often very proficient in the Lodge work , and we hear them spoken of as " bright Masons , " and in thoir own minds they are perfectly satisfied they are such , but beyond that , what ? Darkness ! They read nothing pertaining to Masonry , have not the time to read a Masonic publication , and cannot see where they would be benefited by it . Fancy the remark , " Masonry has never made a dollar for me , " from a young Master . What else bufc the speculative idea could have been in his ¦ mind 9 n . nd Vifi Vin . s YIAVP - Inst-. sicfVit . nf ii-. Wo . alsr , finrl tbft vmmp man with the

desire to go higher , a laudable one if ho appreciates thc honour ; but how often we find his object for going higher is the 32 degree charm and to be a Shriner . Where else is the speculative idea more strongly shown ? If the young Master Mason , who would find it hard work to prove himself one , has failed to appreciate the beauties of thc Blue Lodge , why should he go higher ? There should be more operative and less speculative Masonry . — " W . 0 ., " in " Masonic Advocate . "
