Some Of The Things We Do Not Know About Masonry.

SOME OF THE THINGS WE DO NOT KNOW ABOUT MASONRY .

MASONRY is said to be " a system of ethics veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols "—in other words , the methods of human duty described in imagery , figuratively , and taught by emblems as object lessons . Human duty has its underl ying principle in Truth , which we are taught is a divine attribute and the foundation of every virtue ; hence Truth is the object of oiir search .

Temple ) "into the middle chamber , and out of the middle into the third " ( I Kings , 6 ) , near to the Shekinah of Divine presence ; or out of the profane world into the sacred place ;

At every stage he pauses to consider his progress and to gather instruction from the symbolisms , that may be studied with absorbing interest and profit .

In the middle chamber of matured manhood he obtains his wages , or the reward of his labours and trials through the devious paths of life , in a purified morality that nourished , refreshed and strengthened him , and in the joyful reflection that he has triumphed in the realisation of a full fruition of hi- ; search for Divine Truth . — " Masonic Home Journal "
