EGYPT , THE ANCIENT MYSTERIES AND FREEMASONRY .

( BY BROTHER T . B . WHYTEHEAD ) .

A COUNTRY whose history is bound up Avith allegorical teachings , ancl much of whose story has been clecyphered from the hieroglyphs of its stone monuments , must naturally have a deep interest for a society of Masons whose system is based on allegory and illustrated by symbols . Ifc has occasionally been thrown afc our Society

that our ceremonies are childish , that wo are liko overgrown children with toys , and that our teachings are beneath the notice of men of reason and education . But if this be so , what is to be regarded as worthy of the attention of rational men ? I know of no system of morality , religion

or history that is nofc a system of symbolical teaching . Certainly thero is no religion that is nofc from beginning to end a series of symbols , and the more wo analyse them the more wo shall find that this is the case . Why , even our very language , our every day conversation , embraces amass

of symbols . We talk symbolically , and onr speech is full of unconscious metaphor . Hence comes one reason , I think , why Freemasonry is so widely popular . Ifc commends itself to tho human mind from the very fact that in its symbolic language and teaching wc find a chord of sympathy which

draws us into closer union on common ground . Dr . Oliver , in ono of his many learned works , "The Book of tho Lodge , " lias well explained the system of Masonic symbolism , and shows tho valuable uses to which ifc is put . The cowan

would reject all symbolism , and call it childish ancl ridiculous . Then the Bible is ridiculous , our churches are ' •idiculous , our prayers are ridiculous , for in tho Bible , in our churches , iu oar prayers , ia to be found such a maze
