A CHRISTMAS CHAUNT FOR THE CRAFT .
BY BROTHER W . PRINGLE . LET Worldlings their clubs and their coteries boast , I leave such enjoyment to others ; For the best of delights is to circle the toast With a band of true social Brothers . There heart joins with heart , as hand does with hand ,
In die sacrecl and mystical tie , That unites them in one indivisible band—One brotherhood holy and high . For spurning the cares and the passions of earth , Each heart beats with fervour and love ; No feelings of base or contemptible birth Draw their thoughts from that Grand Lodge above .
And if in that moment of pure flow of soul , The wine-cup should sparkle awhile ; Could the demon of evil invade then the bowl ? In that goblet , say , could there be guile ? No ! let Worldlings their clubs and their coteries boast ,
I leave such enjoyment to others ; For the best of delights are the song and the toast . With a band of true social Brothers .
