THE SUNDAY HERALD Masonic writer, while
searching through the Masonic library for data
relative to a recent historical article, accident
! ally came across the following beautiful detini
tion of the 'Wages of a Mason' in an old Eng

thoughts, his mind destitute of all ideas an
his heart moved by no inspiration, the Masoni
