LIGHT .

BY F . W . KROJENKE . WANDERER , whither the A-oyage so fast ? Seeking- the source of all power and might , Look to the spirit of Truth and of Right ,

Travel thou East , to the rising of Light—There you'll find harbouring safety at last , Light for tbe future , the present , the past ! Look at tbe light of the moon and the stars , At the effulgent , the radiant sun ! But by the labour of Masons is won

Light which in splendour and glory outdone Even the glitter of Helios' cars , Pure to enlighten the soul with its stars ! There is no limit , no end , and no night To tbe horizon of Masonry ' s eye ; Clear as the cloudless , the heavenly sky ; Ancl to tbe throne of our Master on high Beacons Masonic symbolical Light On to perfection , the loftiest flight .

Art thou in search of this heavenly prize ? Dost tbon desire to see and to knoiv All that our altars , our mysteries show ? Does from a heart , without selfishness , glow This yonr desire to behold with your eyes What is contained between mystical ties ?

Look at the sun through prismatical glass ;' Does it not show you the colours of Light ? Seven , the number of powerful might , Greet you in dazzling , in rainbowish sight . But they unite in a radiant mass , Vanishing all into one now they pass .

Thus with the mystic Masonical sign . ! Although a unit , in radiancy pure , Truthful and loving , will ever endure ; Tet let the curious novice be sure That on the worthy alone it will shine , These only worship at Masonry ' s shrine !

Fath , Hope , and Charity , are tbe Triune Wliich to prismatical test we apply ; These , in the light of Masonical eye , Liberal arts ancl the sciences ply Truth into words and tbe Avords into tnhe , Tune into light of the stars , sun , and moon —Masonic Age ,
