The Honours of Masonry . —It is not altogether ambition , or an unworthy spirit of emulation , that prompts our Brethren to seek for and greatly to prize the " honours of Masonry ; " if it were ; farewell to the genuine Masonic < sp ( irit—it would be altogether extinct . The desire for official distinction , or the honours of Masonry , '' is so manifest in every grand body of Masons , whether Lodges , Chapters , Councils , or Encampments , that we shall find it politic , to say the least , to attribute its cause to more worthy motives than mere ambition . And such we feel free to say is the case . Every true Mason desires to benefit his fraternity while he lives and be honourably remembered when he dies ; and he sees that a position of some eminence , something higher at least than that of the Lodge-floor , ia essential to exalted deeds of usefulness . This , we confidently affirm , is the basis of the better part of that which is too often stigmatized as " an unworthy craving for office *"—Hob . MoKivrs .
