Masonic aprons.

The Deputy Grand Master of Ar
kansas saws: Operative MasOns,
when at work. wear an apron to Fro-
tect and preserve their garments from
spot or stain. A white apron is
therefore very appropriately used in
Masonic ceremonies, as an emblem
of purity aud innocence, and is in
tended as such to impress upon the
wearer OF it the duty OF preserving
pure and spotIess character. IN
stained by corruption end free from
vice.
When we see an operative Mason
whose clothes are all spotted and
stained with mortar and dirt, we
know he does not wear an apron at
all, or is unConcerned about the ap>
pcarance of his clothes So it is
when we see a speculative Mason
indulging in intemperance, CT hear
ing him take the name of God in vain,
or otherwise living in violation OF the
moral law, we think at once he has
never learned the use Of the Masonic
J apron. and that his soul is spotted
and COlOred with violations of his
obligations as Mason. What must
be the feelings of profane, intem-
perate or immoral Mason, when his
| mind reverts to the time when first.
as ali apprentice, he was presented
With the whIte apron, and taught that
| il was an emblem of innocence and
the badge of Mason, aud was told
to "wear it with pleasure to himself
| aud honor to the fraternity" How
does he feel, as clothed with this spot
less emblem of purity, he stands in
full view of those in and out of the
Order, who observe his work and
conversation to be corrupt.
On! how his conscience must burn
within him (unless he is covered in
the rubbish of SIM when he drops
his ewes down upon the badge and
thinks of the vain. irreve!ent manner
In which he has used The name OF that
Being who should never be spoken of
except in spirit of awe and rever-
ence? How should the Incorporate
one feel when his trembling hands
drop on the clean texture OF that
spotlesS emblem, and he thinks OF
the ruin he is bringing upon himself,
the disgrace upon the loved ones,
and dishonor to the fraternity by his
intpmDerata habits
Brethren, are we wearing u r
aprons with pleasure to ourselves
and honor to the fraternity" Or are
they displeasure to US in constantly
reminding US of broken vows and viz
oIated pledges, in the taking of which
we call God to witness our sincerity
and f0rtitude? Are we wearing
them to the dishopor of the craft by
having the standard of morality of
the Order low cred to our Own immUr
al conduct?
Let us brush off the untempered
mortar that has diScOlOred our Ma
sonic aprons, = readjuSt them and cons
form our actions in life to the teach
ings Of that pure emblem, that God
may know and the world be convluc>
ed of the sincerity Of our professions.
Then the busy tongue of SANDER can
not harm u.s. the malignant shafts
of bigOtry and fanaticism will fall
harmless at our feet.-Philodelphia
