New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1888-06-06

he lies langulshing for days, months
and years, totally incapable of provid-
ing sustenance for himself, OF guarding
against the attack of the wild beasts of
the field, or sheltering himself from the
inclemencies of the weather. It might
have pleased the great Creator of heav-
en- and earth, to have made man inde-
pendent Of all other beings; but as de-
pendence is one of the strongest bonds
of society, mankind was made depen-
dent of each other for protection and
security, as they thereby enjoy better
opportunities of fulfilling the duties of
reciprocal love and friendship. Thus
was man formed for social and active
life, the noblest part of the work Of God
and he that will so demean himself, as
not be endeavoring to add to the COM
mon stock of knowledge and understand
ing, may be deemed a drone in the hoe
of nature, a useless member of society,
and unworthy of our protection as Ma
sons.
The SaOord, pointed at a naked Heart.
Demonstrates that justice will sooner
or later overtake US, and although our
thoughts, words and actions may be
hidden from the eyes of man, yet that
All-Seeing Eye, whom the sun, moon
and stars obey, and under whose watch
full care, even comets perform their
stupendous revolutions, perYaded the
inmost of the human heart, and will re-
ward US according to our merits.
The .Azcho7 and A7k,
Are emblems Of well-grounded
hope, and a well-spent life. They are
emblematical of that divine Ark, which
safely watts us over this tempestuous
sea of troubles, and that Anchor which
shall safely moor us in a peaceful har.
Dor. where the wicked cease from
troubling and the weary shall find rest.
The Hour Glass,
Is an emblem Of human life. Behold!
how swiftly the sands run and how rap
idly our lives are drawing to close
We can not without astonishment be-
hold the little particles which are con-
tanned in this machine; how .they pass
away almost imperceptibly I! and yet to
our surprise, in the short space of an
hour they are all exhausted. Thus
wastes man !! To-day he puts forth. the
tender leaves of hope; tomorrow, bios.
SONS, and bears his blushing honors
thick upon him; the next day comes a
frost which nips the shoot, and when he
thinks his greatness is still aspiring, he
falls, like autumn leaves, to enrich ou1
mother earth.
The Scythe
is an emblem of time, which cuts the
brittle thread of life, and launches us
into eternity. Behold what havoc the
scythe of time makes among the human
race If by chance we should escape
the numerous evils incident to childhood
and youth, and with health and yigo1
arrive to the years Of manhood, yet
Withali, we must soon be cut down bJ
the all-devouring scythe Of time, and bt
gathered into the land where our fathers
have pOne before rs
The Coffin and Spade
Thus we close the explanation of tht
emblems upon the solemn thought O
death, which, without revelation, il
dark and gloomy; but we are suddenly
revived by the evergreen, growing a
the head OF the grave. that ever living
Spring of Faith, which strenghthens III
with confidence and composure, to lool
forward to a blessed immortality; AM
we doubt not in the glorious morn 0
resurrection our bodies will rise ant
becomes as incorruptible as our souls
Then let us initiate the good maj
in his yirtuous and amiable conduct, il
his unfeigned piety to God, in his in
flexible fidelity to his trust, that w
may welcome Death, and receive hin
as a kind messenger sent from ou
Supreme Grand Master, to translate u
from this imperfect to that all perfec
glorious and celestial Lodge above
where the Supreme Architect of tn
universe presides eternally.
